  J.E. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose. 
   
  For anyone who has ever wondered why suspension bridges don't collapse under eight lanes of traffic, how dams hold back--or give way under--thousands of gallons of water, or what principles guide the design of a skyscraper, a bias-cut dress, or a kangaroo, this book will ease your anxiety and answer your questions. 
   
  Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down is an informal explanation of the basic forces that hold together the ordinary and essential things of this world--from buildings and bodies to flying aircraft and eggshells. In a style that combines wit, a masterful command of his subject, and an encyclopedic range of reference, Gordon includes such chapters as "How to Design a Worm" and "The Advantage of Being a Beam," offering humorous insights in human and natural creation. 
   
  Architects and engineers will appreciate the clear and cogent explanations of the concepts of stress, shear, torsion, fracture, and compression. If you're building a house, a sailboat, or a catapult, here is a handy tool for understanding the mechanics of joinery, floors, ceilings, hulls, masts--or flying buttresses. 
   
  Without jargon or oversimplification, Structures opens up the marvels of technology to anyone interested in the foundations of our everyday lives. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Bethan Dixon Bate and produced for Raconteurs Audio by Nigel Patterson. It was published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  The world is racing to reinvent how it powers itself — yet every solution carries its own cost. Wind farms rise where wildlands once stretched untouched, lithium mines carve into deserts, and the dream of “clean” energy grows tangled in politics, inequality, and human ambition. 
  In When the Wind Stops, Alex Southwick takes readers behind the headlines of the global energy revolution. From Arctic oil rigs standing silent in thawing seas to the vast solar fields of Morocco and the wind-swept coasts of Denmark, Southwick meets the engineers, visionaries, and communities living through this historic shift. 
  This is not a simple story of progress or failure. It’s a portrait of transition — messy, imperfect, and deeply human. With characteristic clarity and empathy, Southwick explores what it means to change the very systems that built modern civilization, and the moral choices that come with it. 
  When the Wind Stops is a journey into the heart of our energy age — a reflection on power in every sense of the word, and a reminder that even as the wind falters, the will to adapt endures.

  Turing's Vision - How AI is...

  Chat-GPT, humanoid robotics, and self-driving cars are just a few of the things that are changing our everyday lives. The rapid advancement of AI is eroding one by one all the cornerstones considered unique of human nature: language, consciousness, creativity, and moral responsibility. The book argues that the revolution we are facing is driven by Alan Turing's "vision". This vision rests on the idea that intelligence is not an intrinsic property of human beings, but is a way in which matter is functionally organized and an attribute we are naturally inclined to ascribe to certain entities. For decades we have pretended that this idea does not have the corrosive power that it actually does, perhaps more so than the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions. But now, given the achievements of new forms of computing based on deep learning and predictive coding, the most common intuitions can no longer avoid the dangerous Turing idea. 
   
  The book is intended for scholars, researchers, and listeners intrigued by the intersections across disciplines interested in understanding the philosophical, ethical, and social implications of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on human nature.
