Sinopsis

"Hydrofoil Breakthrough" presents a fascinating exploration of how wing-like structures beneath watercraft revolutionized maritime transportation through the principles of fluid dynamics. The book demystifies the core concept - how hydrofoils generate lift to raise vessel hulls above water, dramatically reducing drag and enabling unprecedented speeds while improving fuel efficiency.

 
Through a blend of historical perspective and technical analysis, readers discover the three crucial components of hydrofoil systems: strut design, control systems, and foil configurations. The narrative traces an engaging journey from Alexander Graham Bell's initial experiments to modern applications in military vessels and commercial ferries. Particular attention is given to pivotal developments in computational fluid dynamics that enabled more sophisticated designs and automated stability systems.

 
The author presents complex engineering concepts in an accessible manner, supported by real-world examples from passenger ferries, military craft, and recreational vessels. Moving beyond pure engineering, the book connects hydrofoil technology to broader fields including aerospace engineering and environmental science, highlighting the interconnected nature of technological advancement.

 
The text progresses logically from fundamental principles to practical applications, emerging trends, and future possibilities, including hybrid systems and autonomous controls. This comprehensive approach makes it an invaluable resource for both engineering professionals and maritime enthusiasts seeking to understand the technology shaping the future of water transportation.

    An irrigation system is a method used to supply water to crops or landscapes in a controlled manner, typically to assist with crop growth or maintain landscapes. There are various types of irrigation systems, including drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and flood irrigation, each with its own advantages and applications. 
      
    The significance of irrigation management cannot be overstated. It plays a pivotal role in agricultural success, environmental protection, and water conservation. By managing irrigation systems effectively, farmers can optimize water usage, reduce expenses, and enhance crop yields. Furthermore, efficient irrigation practices aid in conserving water resources, mitigating soil erosion, and alleviating the impacts of droughts and water scarcity.

    Mathematical Devotionals serves as a guide to connect Christianity with mathematics through a year's worth of inspirational prompts and meditations. Each devotional is self-contained, including scripture verses and an image. The devotionals fall into four categories: 
    · Mathematical connections to Christianity 
    · Semi-biographical devotionals of Christian mathematicians 
    · Devotionals based on quotes either by a mathematician or about mathematics 
    · A few devotionals using logical reasoning as a form of Christian apologetics 
    The devotionals use mathematics, statistics, computer science, and even occasionally stray into the other science areas to provide a variety of engaging connections to Christianity. The book is intended to show how mathematics and other scientific fields should be considered complementary to Christianity rather than adversarial. 
    About the Author: 
    Dale K. Hathaway has been a faculty member, department chair, and recently selected as the Associate Dean for the Martin D. Walker School of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois 
    since 1989. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Boston University. Mathematically, he has a passion for finding and presenting "Birthday Problem" connections and, as a Christian, he loves finding ways to connect his profession with his faith.

    The inspirational story of the compassionate and wise animals of the Gentle Barn and how they became a therapeutic salve for countless guests—and mentors for all of us in how to live and die 
     
    In Cow Hug Therapy, Ellie Laks recounts the extraordinary journey that started with her first teacher, Buddha—not the religious figure, but a rescued miniature Hereford cow. One evening Buddha wrapped her neck around an exhausted and upset Ellie and transferred a singular form of healing and comfort with an incredible impact. Understanding that this was something to be shared with others, Ellie developed Cow Hug Therapy, a groundbreaking approach to emotional healing that has proved effective for trauma, illness, disabilities, addiction, grief, and stress. 
     
    This colorful and compelling narrative introduces the healing mavens of the barnyard, each with a unique story of being rescued from trauma and treated with love and respect. In their new role at Ellie’s Gentle Barn sanctuaries, these animals have transformed lives and ignited breakthroughs and newfound purpose for visitors including a young mother who lost her baby, a suicidal teenager, a wounded serviceman, an open-heart-surgery patient, and many more. A testament to empathy and the mission to heal animals, people, and the planet, Cow Hug Therapy serves as a beacon of hope for all seeking healing and connection. 
     
    “This book shows not only the power of Cow Hug Therapy with these wonderful creatures, but also their beautiful, individual personalities.”—Christina Applegate
