Nikola Tesla - The Inventor of AC Electric Current and What You May NOT Know About Him

Nakamoto Hitori

Synopsis

Nikola Tesla is the type of man who hangs out in the margins of history, half-remembered, his name known but his meaning not. If someone were to ask, they might say, “Oh, he’s the guy with electricity,” or, “Didn’t he work with Edison?” That’s where the knowledge typically ends.And still, Tesla’s reach extends far beyond what most realize. He didn’t merely build on past ideas—he saw the world differently, envisioned futures that others considered fantasy, and devoted his life to pursuing the future.Tesla was born in 1856 in what is now Croatia, at a time when science and superstition still lived uneasily together. His mother, although not formally educated, was an inventor herself, creating tools for the house and memorizing epic poetry.

Sleep Sounds 4 Fall Asleep...

Walkercrest

Welcome to a night of Deep Refreshing Sleep 
This Audiobook gives you a bundle of two 12 hour programs. 
The programs begin after a short narration of guided imagery to prepare you for sleep. 
Program One: 12 hours of the sounds of a Mountain Stream and the Soothing Tones of Calming Classical Music. 
Program Two: 12 hours of just the sounds of a Mountain Stream without the classical music. 
The musical tones are serene arrangements of the most-loved, composers: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and more. 
The producer of the audiobook is an award-winning sound designer and composer. When he and his wife struggled with sleep apnea, he searched for an audio program that would help. "I mostly found cheap sound effects with repetitive, looping tones. Granted, my background makes me a little picky, but I found these programs more annoying than relaxing." 
So he set out to record the best sounds he could find. The ocean waves, rain, thunder, streams and waterfalls are all original recordings. 
Next, he experimented with tones. This program is the first to include arrangements of beautiful classical music. "I have produced over twenty experimental programs now and have had sleep doctors, patients, as well as my own friends and family members try them on. This current series of “Sleep Sounds" has been very well received and has been proven to be the most effective by the largest number of people."

Gravity Mysteries - The Hidden...

Dirk Fallon

This book bundle explores one of the universe’s most mysterious and fundamental forces: gravity. In Gravity’s Ghost, uncover how this invisible force holds galaxies together and sculpts the structure of the cosmos—yet still defies complete understanding. Discover how gravity bends light, alters time, and reveals itself in the deepest corners of space. 
In Gravity’s Hidden Partner, the story shifts toward the unknown allies that amplify gravity’s strange behavior—like dark matter and dark energy. Scientists suspect that 95% of the universe is invisible, yet these unseen forces help explain anomalies in galactic rotation and expansion. Could something even more exotic be at play behind the scenes? 
Finally, Light’s Opponent looks at the eternal cosmic struggle between gravity and light. Learn how gravity can trap light in black holes, distort it through gravitational lensing, and stretch its path across the universe. With every discovery, we realize just how much gravity shapes not only the cosmos—but our understanding of reality itself.

Dick Carter: Yacht Designer - In...

Dick Carter

Not many 'amateur' yacht designers would dare to enter the first boat they had ever designed into the epic offshore Fastnet Race, let alone with the intention of winning it. But that is what Dick Carter did in 1964, beating all 151 other yachts, some sailed by the most notable sailors of the day. He repeated the feat 4 years later with another of his own designs (which also won the Admiral's Cup that year as top boat and top team), but by then he could certainly not be described as an 'amateur' yacht designer. His radical innovations created fast and comfortable boats which were much in demand in this, the golden age of offshore racing. They were commissioned by the top sailors and succeeded in winning the Admiral's Cup, Southern Cross Series, One Ton Cup, Two Ton Cup and many of the biggest races. He even went on to design the massive 128-foot Vendredi Treize for Jean-Yves Terlain to sail single-handed in the 1972 OSTAR (trans-Atlantic) race – the longest boat ever to have been raced single-handed. But after just a decade at the top of his game, he quit the world of sailing and moved on to other challenges. He hadn't been heard of for so long that sailors assumed he was dead. His surprise appearance at the funeral of Ted Hood gave rise to the suggestion that he wrote this book. It is beautifully produced with many fabulous photographs and boat plans and was first published in the US by Seapoint Books and is now published in the UK by Fernhurst Books. While his career as a yacht designer may have been brief, the impact of his innovations has lasted the test of time. Who today would think of an offshore yacht without internal halyards in the mast or that the rudder always had to be fixed to the keel? These concepts, and many more, were first introduced by Dick Carter.

The Great Dead Body Teachers

Jackie Dent

An adventure into the world of anatomy and dissection. 
Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in dead bodies. When I was eight years old, I dug up the remains of my pet budgie Zazbut. He had been buried for about eight weeks in a patch of grass outside our house in Dasmarinas, a fortified village in Manila, in the Philippines. 
 
‘The first exhumation was the beginning of my intrigue with death, which has persisted. As a journalist, I’ve written about graveyards, funerals and death doulas. I always visit the local cemetery wherever I am in the world. But one thing that has largely been hidden from me in this death trip is the dead body. 
 
Dissection might not be a normal topic to contemplate but when both your paternal grandparents donate their bodies to science it does intermittently cross your mind. 
 
This is the story of how Jackie Dent’s grandparents - Ruby and Julie - gave their bodies to science when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of cutting up the dead for research? And who are body donors generally? 
  
Weaving the personal with the history of anatomy and the dissected, Jackie Dent explores the world of whole-body donation — all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.
