Beschreibung

"Amphibious Vehicles" offers a comprehensive exploration of the engineering marvels that operate seamlessly on both land and water, presenting a detailed analysis of their mechanical principles and technological evolution.

 
The book masterfully breaks down the three fundamental aspects of amphibious vehicle engineering: hull design and flotation mechanics, propulsion systems adaptation, and environmental transition mechanisms, tracing their development from World War II military applications to modern civilian and military uses. Through a blend of technical illustrations and real-world case studies, the text illuminates how integrated systems engineering enables these versatile vehicles to maintain optimal performance across different environments.

 
The book's systematic approach progresses from basic principles of buoyancy and hull design to advanced topics like hybrid propulsion solutions and smart materials, incorporating research from military archives and field testing data to support its technical concepts. Readers gain practical insights into drivetrain modifications, variable suspension systems, and waterproofing techniques that make these dual-environment vehicles possible.

 
The book stands out for its accessible presentation of complex engineering principles, making it valuable for both students and professionals in mechanical and marine engineering fields. While maintaining technical accuracy, it bridges theoretical concepts with practical applications, addressing current industry challenges such as performance optimization, maintenance protocols, and environmental considerations. The inclusion of emerging technologies and future development possibilities makes this resource particularly relevant for those interested in the evolving landscape of amphibious vehicle design and operation.

The Master Builder - How the New...

Alfonso Martinez Arias

"An ingenious argument" (Kirkus) for a "novel thesis" (Publishers Weekly) that cells, not DNA, hold the key to understanding life's past and present 
 
 
 
What defines who we are? For decades, the answer has seemed obvious: our genes, the "blueprint of life." In The Master Builder, biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias argues we've been missing the bigger picture. It's not our genes that define who we are, but our cells. While genes are important, nothing in our DNA explains why the heart is on the left side of the body, how many fingers we have, or even how our cells manage to reproduce. Drawing on new research from his own lab and others, Martinez Arias reveals that we are composed of a thrillingly intricate, constantly moving symphony of cells. Both their long lineage—stretching back to the very first cell—and their intricate interactions within our bodies today make us who we are. 
 
 
 
Engaging and ambitious, The Master Builder will transform your understanding of our past, present, and future—as individuals and as a species.

Code Work - Hacking across the...

Héctor Beltrán

How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
 
 
 
In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
 
 
 
Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.
