Sinopsis

Fish Net Mending offers a comprehensive guide to the essential craft of net repair, vital for fishing communities' economic stability and environmental responsibility. The book emphasizes that proficiency in net repair directly impacts a fishing family's bottom line and lessens the strain on marine ecosystems. By understanding net materials—from natural fibers to synthetics—and mastering mending techniques, fishers can extend the lifespan of their gear. This, in turn, reduces waste and minimizes the impact of discarded nets on marine life.

 
The book takes a practical approach, beginning with the history and significance of net making. It then progresses through essential tools, materials, and knot-tying before diving into specific mending techniques like patching holes and repairing tears. Detailed diagrams and step-by-step instructions make complex repairs accessible to beginners.

 
Highlighting the importance of regular inspection and timely repairs, the book underscores how these skills contribute to sustainable fishing as a craft and hobby.

The Cardiac Fulcrum in the...

Jorge Trainini

"Since the publication of Fundamentals of the New Cardiac Mechanics: The Suction Pump, ten years ago, there has been a productive succession of studies and research by these brilliant scientists who expanded the knowledge of cardiac mechanics and the myocardial muscle structures and bands. They found the presence of an osseous or cartilaginous tissue, which they called the cardiac fulcrum, where the myocardial bands begin and end, it serves as support for the entire system; they also documented the finding of the lubrication of the entire muscular framework of the heart.
This knowledge enriches our understanding about the anatomy, physiology, and mechanical contraction of the heart, and thanks to the results, better treatments for heart failure are made possible. Until now, cardiologists explained heart contraction and its failures with the Frank-Starling Law (or simply the Starling Law); now, these new concepts of myocardial torsion and detorsion have been introduced, and the consequent protodiastolic suction through the contraction of sectors that contribute to the detorsion and active expansion of the ventricular cavities, generating an aspirating movement of the blood and a three-phase cardiac cycle. Furthermore, they explain the loss of the ventricles' aspirating capacity due to their dilation, when part of the myocardial torsion and detorsion is lost, and consequently, the heart's efficiency as a pump. I am truly convinced that these findings have opened up great lines of research for the future understanding of heart failure" (Dr. Pedro Cossio).

Kobuk the Destroyer - And Other...

Alex Davies

An exuberant exploration of why the stuff we use (mostly) works―and a celebration of the unsung engineers who ensure it does. 
 
When a manufacturer offers a 10,000-mile warranty on a car or slaps a “bear-resistant” label on a camping cooler, what do we know about how trustworthy that promise is, and how it’s backed up? For the cooler, it’s Kobuk the Destroyer, the fiercest member of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee’s panel of product-testing bears: Gifted at cracking locks and foiling manufacturers, Kobuk and his fellow bears play a crucial role in keeping us (and our snacks) safe. For everything else―as journalist Alex Davies reveals in this freewheeling tour of the hidden work that keeps the modern world going, safely and dependably―we have test engineers, who imagine how anything and everything could go wrong, and fight back. 
 
From echo-proof chambers to Formula 1 wind tunnels to airplane hangars turned torture labs, Davies takes readers behind the scenes of a workforce that combats contingency with equal parts analytical rigor and wild imagination. Armed with sixty-foot cannons that fire frozen chickens into jet engines, rocket sleds so fast they knock fillings out of teeth, and Lazy Susans for tasting hundreds of cups of tea a day, test engineers break it so you can buy it. 
 
But failure is a stubborn opponent: The tsunami will overtop the dam, the chatbot will give bad advice, the bear will eat your sandwich. Test engineers don’t just prevent disaster; they limit its fallout and make peace with its reality by balancing risk against reward. In an age of climate crisis, run-amok tech, and eroding trust in public institutions, knowing how they do it―and how we might do the same―is more valuable than ever before. 
 
Brimming with humor and insight, Kobuk the Destroyer is a celebration of human ingenuity and a deeply human story about uncertainty, resilience, and the art of making a fragile world a little more reliable.
