Summary

"Resistor Tales" presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of one of electronics' most fundamental components, demonstrating how the humble resistor has shaped technological progress from telegraph systems to modern quantum computing. The book skillfully weaves together technical knowledge with historical context, exploring three pivotal eras: early electrical networks, consumer electronics, and the microelectronics revolution, all while maintaining an accessible approach that serves both experienced engineers and newcomers to the field.

 
Through careful examination of historical records and engineering case studies, the book reveals how this seemingly simple component enabled precise control of electrical systems and influenced countless innovations. Readers discover practical applications ranging from touchscreen technology to thermal management in power systems, with each chapter building upon previous concepts through detailed diagrams and real-world examples.

 
The narrative begins with Georg Ohm's groundbreaking 1820s research and progresses through to modern precision manufacturing techniques, highlighting pivotal moments in electronics history along the way. The book stands out for its balanced approach to technical depth and historical context, making complex concepts accessible without sacrificing accuracy. It explores interdisciplinary connections between electrical engineering principles, materials science, and economic factors that drove industry standardization.

 
Whether examining analog applications or digital systems, the book provides valuable insights for professional engineers, students, and hobbyists while emphasizing the resistor's continued relevance in emerging technologies like electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.

    All of us have things we want to change about ourselves. 
    All of us have goals and aspirations, and perfect versions of ourselves that we imagine. We all want to have better abs, better teeth, more confidence, and more money. 
    And every now and then, we get sick of just “wanting” those things and we endeavour to do something about it. That normally involves beginning a new training program, or it means investing money, or changing bank account. 
    We make a huge effort to make these changes, but we seldom end up getting the results we want. In fact, many people have completely given up on the hope that they can EVER change. 
    Why is that? 
    Normally, it’s because we approach our goals in the completely the wrong way. We are looking for drastic change. We want to see immediate results. 
    But that’s not how improvement really works.

    The most common way we come to know animals is usually by rote learning the specific features that certain kind of animals have according to a textbooks. We learn that they are mammals, birds or fish; but at school we rarely mention that they have a personality of their own and even less do we analyze whether we treat them well or badly. Have you ever wondered how animals actually feel?
    Have you thought about how they are treated in our society?
    The Voice of Animals promotes reflection through critical thinking on different issues related to animal ethics. By raising questions it paves the way to analyze the most common themes that emerge in adolescence regarding the lives of animals, both free and captive.

    The Next Supercontinent -...

    You've heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These "supercontinents" from Earth's past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like—and what to name it—they all agree: one is coming. 
     
     
     
    In this engaging work, geophysicist Ross Mitchell invites listeners to remote (and sometimes treacherous) lands for evidence of past supercontinents, delves into the phenomena that will birth the next, and presents the case for the future supercontinent of Amasia, defined by the merging of North America and Asia. Introducing listeners to plate tectonic theory through fieldwork adventures and accessible scientific descriptions, Mitchell considers flows deep in the Earth's mantle to explain Amasia's future formation and shows how this developing theory can illuminate other planetary mysteries. He then poses the inevitable question: how can humanity survive the intervening 200 million years necessary to see Amasia? 
     
     
     
    An expert on the supercontinent cycle, Mitchell offers listeners a front-row seat to a slow-motion mystery and an ongoing scientific debate.

    In Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything, Daniel Goleman recasts the uproar over global warming and the assault of man-made toxins into our bodies in terms of the collective self-deception which both created this crisis and holds a key to its solution.Ecological Intelligence argues that "green" labels and recycling programs may do more harm than good by feeding a vital lie, lulling us into the illusion that we are doing enough already while ignoring the adverse impact of the far vaster proportion of what we buy and do. The book brings a psychologist's insights into the world of commerce, arguing for radical transparency--tracking every substantial impact over the life cycle of an item, from manufacture to daily use, to disposal--and surfacing those impacts at the point of purchase. The movement toward such transparency augurs a day when the free market will operate in public interest.
