Sinopse

"Pumps vs Furnaces" presents a comprehensive analysis of two competing home heating technologies, addressing the critical decision between heat pumps and traditional furnaces in an era of climate consciousness and fluctuating energy costs. The book uniquely combines rigorous technical analysis with practical, real-world applications, making complex engineering concepts accessible to both technical professionals and homeowners.

 
Through detailed examination of Department of Energy statistics and actual installation data, it reveals how these systems perform across different climate zones and operating conditions. The text progresses logically from fundamental principles of heat transfer to detailed comparisons of system efficiency, costs, and environmental impact.

 
Key insights include comprehensive analyses of heat pump coefficient of performance (COP) values versus furnace annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings, alongside detailed cost breakdowns incorporating installation, operation, and maintenance expenses. The book stands out for its use of thermal imaging data and energy consumption logs from real installations, providing readers with concrete evidence rather than theoretical projections.

 
What makes this guide particularly valuable is its objective, data-driven approach to addressing common misconceptions about heat pump performance in cold climates and the true cost-effectiveness of different fuel sources. The inclusion of decision matrices and step-by-step calculation guides helps readers apply the information to their specific situations, while detailed diagrams and performance charts illuminate complex concepts.

 
Throughout the book, the integration of mechanical engineering principles with practical considerations creates a bridge between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in residential heating decisions.

    A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure!

    The concept of cosmic expansion is foundational to modern cosmology. It describes the way the universe has been stretching out over time, with galaxies moving away from each other. This phenomenon was first observed in the early 20th century by astronomer Edwin Hubble, who discovered that distant galaxies were receding from the Earth. The further a galaxy was, the faster it seemed to move away. This led to the realization that the universe itself was expanding, not just galaxies moving within a static space. The discovery was groundbreaking because it suggested that the universe had a beginning—a moment when all matter and energy were concentrated in a singular point. This insight laid the groundwork for the Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe began from an incredibly hot and dense state and has been expanding ever since. 
    Before this discovery, the prevailing belief in astronomy was that the universe was static, neither expanding nor contracting. However, Hubble’s findings, supported by the work of other scientists like Alexander Friedmann and Georges Lemaître, showed that space itself was expanding. This meant that the fabric of the universe was stretching, causing galaxies to drift apart over time. Understanding cosmic expansion was pivotal not only in explaining the universe’s origins but also in forming the basis for further study of its evolution and ultimate fate. 
    At first, scientists believed that the expansion of the universe would eventually slow down due to gravitational pull. This expectation, however, changed with the discovery of dark energy in the late 20th century. Observations of distant supernovae revealed that not only was the universe expanding, but this expansion was actually accelerating. This unexpected acceleration is attributed to dark energy, a mysterious force that permeates space and drives galaxies apart at an ever-increasing rate.

    Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

    Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
     
     
     
    Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
     
     
     
    Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.
