Sinopse

Pole Vault Physics explores the science behind this incredible sport, revealing how athletes convert kinetic energy into potential energy to soar to amazing heights. The book examines the energy transfer process, showing how vaulters transform their run-up speed into the elastic potential energy of the pole, and then back into the kinetic and gravitational potential energy needed to clear the bar. It also analyzes the biomechanics of the athlete's technique, from the initial run-up to the final release, illustrating how each movement contributes to overall performance. This book uniquely blends physics with practical coaching insights, bridging the gap between scientific principles and real-world athletic application. For instance, the evolution of vaulting poles from rigid materials to flexible fiberglass and carbon fiber highlights how material science has revolutionized the sport. The book progresses logically, starting with fundamental concepts of energy and mechanics, then moving into detailed analyses of each phase of the vault, and concluding with advanced training techniques informed by physics. By dissecting each phase of the vault through the lens of energy transfer and biomechanical efficiency, Pole Vault Physics provides coaches, athletes, and enthusiasts with actionable insights. The book provides a comprehensive perspective by integrating rigorous physics analysis with practical coaching insights.

My Child the Algorithm - An...

Hannah Silva

A playful and provocative exploration of queer single parenting and love, in conversation with an AI algorithm and a toddler 
 
 
 
My Child, the Algorithm describes encounters between a single parent, a curious, verbal toddler, and a language-producing algorithm. Like a male seahorse, Hannah Silva carried a baby made from her partner's egg. But when she gave birth, her partner left, and Hannah found herself navigating life alone with her child, surviving on United Kingdom universal credit, humor, and buckets of imagination. 
 
 
 
As she navigates friendship, dating, and life as a queer parent in London, Hannah begins cowriting with an open-source language model, a precursor to ChatGPT, feeding the algorithm language and receiving language in return. Through her interactions with her toddler and the algorithm, expressions of humor, play, and insight begin to emerge. With the help and disruption of these unreliable narrators, Hannah deconstructs her story and constructs a new one, unraveling what she has been taught to want, finding alternative ways of thinking, loving, and parenting today.

No Country for Eight-Spot...

Julian Aguon

Part memoir, part manifesto, Chamorro climate activist Julian Aguon's No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is a coming-of-age story and a call for justice—for everyone, but in particular, for Indigenous peoples. 
 
 
 
In bracing poetry and compelling prose, Aguon weaves together stories from his childhood in the villages of Guam with searing political commentary about matters ranging from nuclear weapons to global warming. Undertaking the work of bearing witness, wrestling with the most pressing questions of the modern day, and reckoning with the challenge of truth-telling in an era of rampant obfuscation, he culls from his own life experiences—from losing his father to pancreatic cancer to working for Mother Teresa to an edifying chance encounter with Sherman Alexie—to illuminate a collective path out of the darkness. 
 
 
 
A powerful, bold, new voice writing at the intersection of Indigenous rights and environmental justice, Julian Aguon is entrenched in the struggles of the people of the Pacific to liberate themselves from colonial rule, defend their sacred sites, and obtain justice for generations of harm. In No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies, Aguon shares his wisdom and reflections on love, grief, joy, and triumph and extends an offer to join him in a hard-earned hope for a better world.

Digital Capitalism and...

Sabine Pfeiffer

Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.
