Beschreibung

"Cranky Machines" explores the fascinating world of aging mechanical systems and their enduring relevance in modern industry, challenging the common assumption that newer equipment is always better. The book presents a compelling analysis of how legacy machines, some dating back to the early 20th century, continue to play vital roles in contemporary manufacturing and industrial processes.

 
Through detailed case studies and technical analyses, it demonstrates how certain vintage equipment often represents optimal solutions for specific industrial applications, supported by empirical data on reliability and cost-effectiveness. The narrative unfolds across three main themes: the engineering principles behind long-lasting mechanical systems, the economic factors supporting their continued operation, and the maintenance strategies ensuring their longevity.

 
Drawing from previously unpublished maintenance records and expert interviews, the book provides valuable insights into successful preservation techniques and retrofit planning. Particularly noteworthy are examples like textile mills operating century-old looms and power plants running generators from the 1950s, illustrating the remarkable durability and adaptability of well-maintained mechanical systems.

 
Written in an accessible yet technically precise style, the book progresses from fundamental mechanical engineering principles to practical maintenance strategies and modern control system integration. It serves as both a technical reference and strategic guide, offering frameworks for evaluating equipment replacement decisions and maintaining aging infrastructure. The work uniquely bridges mechanical engineering with economics and environmental sustainability, making it invaluable for professionals managing industrial equipment and students studying mechanical engineering.

    National Bestseller 
    Don’t despair. Don’t retreat. Fight back. 
    A call-to-action for Democrats, moderate Republicans, and other anti-Trump dissenters, detailing the history of social and political policies, how Obama treated them, how Trump has the power to undermine them, and what people can do to fight back. 
    The stunning election of Donald J. Trump rocked an already divided America and left scores of citizens, including the nearly sixty-five million voters who supported Hillary Clinton, feeling bereft and powerless. Now, Gene Stone, author of The Bush Survival Bible, offers invaluable guidance and concrete solutions the resistance can use to make a difference in this serious call-to-arms—showing them how to move from anger and despair to activism against the Trump presidency and its potentially lasting effects on our democracy.   
    Before we can successfully engage, we need to be clear about the battles we face. Stone outlines political and social concepts—including such issues as Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, the Environment, Obamacare, International relations, and LGBTQ Rights—providing a brief history of each, a refresher on Obama's policies over his eight years in office, and an analysis of how Trump’s administration is threatening them. But lest we feel overwhelmed by the scale of the threat and settle for aimless outrage, Stone then provides an invaluable guide for fighting back—referring to organizations, people, sites, and countless other resources that are working tirelessly to restore the power of the people, safeguard our democracy, and ensure that none of us are left behind in our quest for relentless and equitable progress. 
    While marches and social media are important forms of protest, concrete actions that achieve real and measurable change are a vital part of the fight. Positive and reinforcing, The Trump Survival Guide presents the essential information we need to effectively make our voices heard and our power felt, during the Trump presidency and beyond.

    Ever opened a tab and forgotten why? 
    Mid-scroll, mid-thought… and poof—it’s gone? 
    No, it’s not just you. And no, it’s not early-onset anything, 
    You’ve simply been Forgotten. By. Design. 
    In Forgotten by Design: The Silent Epidemic of Digital Dementia, tech meets soul in this genre-bending, mind-bending manifesto on how your memory, focus, and very sense of time are being subtly stolen—and sold back to you. 
    This isn’t another “digital detox” guilt trip. 
    This is a call to remember who you were before 
    the algorithm got your number. 
    ◆ Neuroscience meets Vedic rituals. 
    ◆ Ancient myths collide with dopamine loops. 
    ◆ Real-life stories, surreal insights, and soul-searching questions. 
    Meet the yogi hidden in your nervous system, 
    Decode the ghost data shaping your identity. 
    And answer the only question that matters now: 
    If your mind’s been outsourced to machines… 
    what’s left of you? 
    This is not self-help. This is self-awakening. 
    (Warning: Once remembered, you can’t go back.)

    An accessible and enjoyable way to develop the thinking tools and techniques to understand the math of modern life.When we learn about abstract mathematical concepts—from prime numbers and fractals to aspects of calculus—the most common question is often: when on earth will I need this? To many of us, so-called "pure" mathematics is downright baffling. Yet these concepts are what underpin the world we live in, from internet security to the transmission of radio waves. When you start to think like a mathematician, the secrets of technology and modern life suddenly make sense.Junaid Mubeen regards mathematics as a collection of thinking tools that can enrich the way we approach our everyday lives. In Think Like a Mathematician, he presents a catalogue of enlightening mathematical concepts. Some will be familiar from school, but the majority are ideas that listeners will not have encountered before. And anyone—from mathematicians to self-proclaimed mathophobes—can learn from them. In Mubeen's clear prose, all of these ideas are easy to grasp, and may even reshape the way you see the world.

    'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'
    
    Considered as the foundation of evolutionary biology, Charles Darwin's groundbreaking On the Origin of Species profoundly transformed the field of biology at the time, as well as contemporary religious beliefs.
    
    First published in 1859, On the Origin of Species presents Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin argues that species evolve over time; individuals with superior traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. These favourable traits become more common in subsequent generations, leading to the gradual development of a new species. Darwin draws upon extensive evidence from biology, geology and the animal kingdom to support his theory, challenging the idea that species are fixed and unchanging. Revolutionary in its influence, On the Origin of Species laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology, genetics and ecology. This audiobook edition is skilfully narrated by Mark Elstob.
    Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English biologist, naturalist and geologist. Initially studying medicine and theology, Darwin became drawn to natural science, wherein he developed the pioneering theory of evolution via natural selection. He remains a hugely respected figure in science to this day.

    Fifteen Out of the Box Ideas...

    The world is not as we think it is. We are taught standard accepted beliefs from birth and many of them are not correct or a misunderstanding of the truth. 
    Who am I to say so? At this writing I’m nearly seventy years old and I’ve spent my life observing reality as an engineer and explorer of the unknown. 
    I’ve had many weird and paranormal experiences and done lots of research. Many patterns have made themselves known to me and this is why I make these types of statements. 
    This book is an effort to shed light on these misunderstandings and change your perception of the world we live in. 
    Much of what I will relate is based on my subjective experiences and research many would say does not conform to the accepted scientific method yet you will see that my observations make a lot of common sense. 
    Some of these concepts have been around for thousands of years but are not commonly accepted today. My effort is to show you why these ideas are likely true and how these concepts also are built on to provide new understandings. 
    At the end of each chapter logic is provided on how general belief in these new ideas will change humanity. 
    My hope is that by the end of this book you the reader will open your mind more about many things which are strange but possibly true.
