Sinossi

High Jump Physics explores the fascinating science that allows athletes to soar over seemingly impossible heights. By examining the biomechanics and physics at play, the book reveals how jumpers manipulate their bodies to achieve peak athletic performance. It highlights the crucial role of the athlete's center of mass, explaining how the Fosbury Flop allows jumpers to clear the bar while their center of mass passes beneath it. The book also emphasizes the importance of angular momentum, which enables athletes to rotate into the optimal position.

 
Beginning with a historical overview of jumping techniques, the book progresses systematically through fundamental physics principles such as projectile motion and energy conservation. Chapters delve into each phase of the jump – approach, takeoff, flight, and landing – providing detailed analyses supported by research and case studies of elite athletes. This approach makes High Jump Physics valuable for coaches, athletes, and sports science enthusiasts alike, offering a scientific framework for optimizing training and technique.

 
The book uniquely integrates rigorous physics analysis with practical coaching insights, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. It demonstrates how a deep understanding of physics is essential for moving beyond intuition and adopting a data-driven approach to high jump training, ultimately improving athletic performance.

Mercury and Gemini: The History...

Editors Charles River

The successful Apollo 11 mission was certainly an astonishing technological triumph, but what is less well remembered now are that many programs preceded Apollo and were essential to its success. Project Mercury was one of those, and in many ways it represented the greatest step forward in terms of the conquest of space. Before Project Mercury, there was no certainty that a human could survive the rigors of a space launch or live outside Earth’s atmosphere. There was no agreement on just what an astronaut should be, and various individuals involved debated whether they should be pilots, technicians, scientists, or even merely observers in an automated craft. Before Project Mercury, no one was entirely certain what a rocket capable of taking a person into space would look like, or even whether building such a craft was within the capabilities of engineering in the 1950s.
Gemini also marked another important milestone as America finally surpassed the Soviet Union in space technology. Before Gemini, the US was playing a desperate game of catch-up as it attempted to match Soviet accomplishments. The last Project Mercury flight launched in May 1963, and before then, Russia had put the first satellite in Earth’s orbit and the first man in space and had followed these with longer flights than the tiny Mercury spacecraft. In terms of military significance, it was recognized that the ability to dominate space was very important, and to many people in America, it seemed that Russia was well on the way to doing this. No one could have guessed that it would be almost three years before the next American manned space flight occurred when Gemini 3 left the launch pad in March 1965. It seemed to many people that the Russian lead in space exploration had become unassailable and, in order to reestablish the credibility of the US space program, the Gemini flights simply had to succeed.

Memes For Mummyji - Making Sense...

Santosh Desai

A portrait of India in mid-sentence - caught between tradition and transformation, noise and nuance. 
 
From selfies and what they mean to the travails of modern love and the new vocabulary of politics, Santosh Desai returns to chronicle the invisible revolutions of Indian life with his signature wit and insight. In Memes for Mummyji, he explores how the mobile phone - now as common as the pressure cooker - has quietly reshaped everything: how we shop, flirt, pray, protest, and parent.  
This is not a book about technology. It's about us. Our habits, our contradictions, our new-found freedoms - and the deep cultural software that still runs underneath. Warm, keenly perceptive and deeply human, this book, with essays drawn from over a decade of observation, is a love letter to the everyday theatre of Indian life in the digital age.
