Sinopse

"Birth of Scooters" presents a fascinating journey through the technological evolution of personal transportation, from early 20th-century motorized innovations to today's electric micro-mobility solutions.

 
The book masterfully weaves together mechanical engineering principles with urban development narratives, focusing on three crucial periods: the post-World War I emergence of motorized scooters, the 1940s Italian scooter renaissance, and the current electric scooter revolution. Through detailed technical specifications and real-world case studies, readers discover how engineering breakthroughs like the step-through frame design and enclosed engine compartment transformed urban mobility.

 
The narrative skillfully balances technical depth with accessible explanations, examining how scooters evolved from simple motorized bicycles into sophisticated urban transportation solutions. Drawing from patent records, manufacturing data, and urban planning studies, the book reveals how these vehicles adapted to changing societal needs, particularly during post-war fuel shortages and modern environmental challenges.

 
The interdisciplinary approach connects mechanical engineering concepts with practical applications, making complex technical information digestible for both specialists and general readers interested in transportation technology. This comprehensive work stands out for its thorough examination of how scooters have shaped urban mobility across different cultures and infrastructure systems.

 
The analysis extends beyond pure engineering, incorporating insights from urban planning, environmental science, and social history to demonstrate how mechanical innovations address real-world transportation challenges. The book concludes with an exploration of future trends, including autonomous capabilities and integration with smart city systems, making it an invaluable resource for understanding both the history and future of urban transportation.

    Stalking the Great Killer is the story of Arkansas's struggle to control tuberculosis, and how the state became a model in its treatment of the disease. 
     
     
     
    To place the story of tuberculosis in Arkansas in historical perspective, the authors trace the origins of the disease. Arkansas suffered some of the worst ravages of the disease, and the authors argue that many of the improvements in the state's medical infrastructure grew out of the desperate need to control it. 
     
     
     
    In the early twentieth century, Arkansas established a sanatorium and thirty years later, the segregated Black sanitorium. These institutions helped slow the disease but at a cost: removed from families and communities, patients suffered from the isolation. Joseph Bates saw this when he delivered an uncle to the sanitorium in the 1940s. In the 1960s, Bates, now a physician, and his colleague Paul Reagan overcame a resistant medical-political system to develop a new approach to treating the disease. 
     
     
     
    In the age of Covid-19, this history offers valuable lessons about community involvement in public health, the potential efficacy of public-private partnerships, and the importance of leadership in the battle to eradicate disease.

  • Time's Second Arrow - Evolution Order and a New Law of Nature - cover

    Time's Second Arrow - Evolution...

    Of the codified laws of nature, only one inscribes a direction to time: the dreaded second law of thermodynamics, which declares that the disorder of a closed system tends to increase as time passes. New shoes eventually scuff, our bodies weaken and die. Yet our senses tell us that miraculous order constantly emerges, too: children grow and learn; spontaneous patterns manifest in murmurations of starlings. Can it be true that the laws of our universe mandate only dissolution? 
     
    In Time's Second Arrow, star scientists Robert M. Hazen and Michael L. Wong overturn more than a century of scientific canon, arguing that there must be a second "arrow of time"—a missing law of nature that explains how the marvelously complex constituents of our universe came to be. Evolution, they propose, is a universal phenomenon—not only in biology, but in the entire atomic, chemical, mineral, and physical universe. Showing how a natural process of selection for increasing function has shaped the universe, they explore how this new law could possibly help us identify life on other planets and understand the purpose and meaning of life on Earth in a new way. 
     
    Time's Second Arrow reveals how our cosmic inheritance includes a drive toward wondrous invention and progress—ultimately revising our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
