Beschreibung

Bioinspired Insulation explores how nature's thermal regulation strategies, perfected by animals in extreme environments, can inspire innovative and sustainable insulation technologies. The book examines the unique adaptations of polar animals, desert dwellers, and high-altitude species, revealing insights into creating more efficient and eco-friendly materials. For example, the intricate structure of polar bear fur, with its remarkable heat-trapping capabilities, offers valuable lessons for designing advanced insulation.

 
This book bridges biological research and engineering, presenting a comprehensive overview of nature-inspired insulation materials like aerogels and bio-based foams. It progresses from introducing biomimicry and its applications to detailing animal insulation strategies and translating these insights into engineering principles.

 
By emphasizing the translation of complex biological systems into tangible designs, Bioinspired Insulation provides a practical guide for engineers, scientists, and designers interested in biomimicry and sustainable technologies.

    So, if this is your cup of tea, I invite you to get started with this book. You will learn about this interesting people, who value their religion and their traditions more than anything, and who stick to old habits despite of technological advances.

    This book offers an in-depth exploration of three of the most influential dynasties in Chinese history: the Han, Qin, and Tang Dynasties. This book delves into the powerful legacies of these dynasties, each of which shaped China’s cultural, political, and social development in profound ways. The Qin Dynasty, under the leadership of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, is known for unifying China and initiating monumental infrastructure projects such as the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army. The Han Dynasty, a golden age in Chinese history, expanded China’s borders, solidified Confucian ideals, and fostered the flourishing of trade along the Silk Road. Finally, the Tang Dynasty, often regarded as the most prosperous period in China’s imperial history, saw significant advancements in arts, culture, and governance. 
    In the Qin Dynasty, China was unified for the first time under a single ruler, marking the beginning of imperial rule. Emperor Qin’s centralization of power, creation of a standardized legal system, and the construction of defensive walls set the stage for the future of Chinese civilization. Although short-lived, the Qin Dynasty’s impact on Chinese governance and infrastructure would echo through the centuries.  
    Meanwhile, the Han Dynasty succeeded the Qin, ushering in an era of stability, economic prosperity, and cultural development. The Han established a strong bureaucracy and military, advanced in science and technology, and integrated Confucianism as the official philosophy, influencing Chinese society for over two millennia. 
    The Tang Dynasty, which followed the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, is celebrated for its cultural achievements, including the flourishing of poetry, painting, and literature. The Tang Empire expanded China's territory to its greatest extent, and its cosmopolitan capital, Chang'an, became a vibrant hub for international trade and cultural exchange.

    An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
    		 
    Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
    		 
    In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
    		 
    Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

    The Gupta Empire, one of the most influential dynasties in Indian history, emerged in the early 4th century CE. It marked the beginning of a new era characterized by political stability, territorial expansion, and remarkable advancements in various fields. The foundation of the empire was laid by Chandragupta I, whose leadership and strategic alliances set the stage for the golden age that followed. 
    The origins of the Gupta dynasty remain somewhat obscure, but historical records suggest that they were a powerful regional clan in the Magadha region, present-day Bihar. Unlike the Mauryan Empire, which had a centralized administrative structure, the Gupta rulers adopted a more decentralized approach, allowing local rulers to maintain a degree of autonomy while still pledging allegiance to the empire. This governance model contributed to their long-lasting rule and ensured stability across their vast territories. 
    Chandragupta I, who ascended the throne around 320 CE, played a crucial role in the establishment of the empire. His most significant achievement was his matrimonial alliance with the Licchavi princess Kumaradevi, which not only strengthened his position but also expanded his influence in the fertile Ganges basin. This strategic marriage helped him consolidate power and gain the support of powerful regional factions. As a result, the empire's boundaries began to expand, laying the groundwork for future conquests.
