Sinossi

Helicopter Drop Zones explores the critical process of selecting safe helicopter landing sites in diverse environments, from forests to urban areas. It emphasizes the integration of terrain analysis, risk forecasting, and operational needs. The book highlights that a seemingly simple task requires a deep understanding of factors like slope angles, soil stability, and weather patterns to prevent mission failure or loss of life.

 
This book uniquely combines military history with modern geospatial technology, such as GIS and remote sensing, to improve drop zone selection. Using LiDAR and satellite imagery, detailed terrain models can be created, enabling more accurate assessment of potential hazards, improving aviation safety.

 
The book progresses from basic principles of helicopter operations and terrain analysis to risk forecasting and case studies, offering practical guidelines for safer and more effective helicopter missions.

Restless Devices - Recovering...

Felicia Wu Song

We're being formed by our devices. Today's digital technologies are designed to captivate our attention and encroach on our boundaries, shaping how we relate to time and space, to ourselves and others, even to God. Our natural longing for relationship makes us vulnerable to the "industrializing" effects of social media. While we enjoy the benefits of digital tech, many of us feel troubled with its power and exhausted by its demands for permanent connectivity. Yet even as we grow disenchanted, attempting to resist the digital "powers that be" might seem like a losing battle.
Sociologist Felicia Wu Song has spent years considering the personal and collective dynamics of digital ecosystems. She combines psychological, neurological, and sociological insights with theological reflection to explore two major questions:

- What kind of people are we becoming with personal technologies in hand?
- And who do we really want to be?
Song unpacks the soft tyranny of the digital age, including the values embedded in our apps and the economic systems that drive our habits. She then explores pathways of meaningful resistance that can be found in Christian tradition—especially counter-narratives about human worth, embodiment, relationality, and time—and offers practical experiments for individual and communal change.
In our current digital ecologies, small behavioral shifts are not enough to give us freedom. We need a sober and motivating vision of our prospects to help us imagine what kind of life we hope to live—and how we can get there.

Beyond Measure - The Hidden...

James Vincent

A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
 
 
 
From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
 
 
 
Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.
