Sinopse

In "Tesla's Experiments with Alternating Currents," Nikola Tesla delves into the groundbreaking principles and applications of alternating current (AC) systems, a revolutionary technology that transformed the electrical landscape. Written in Tesla's characteristic blend of technical precision and visionary enthusiasm, this work elucidates both the theoretical underpinnings of AC and its practical implementations, demonstrating its superiority over direct current (DC). Situated within the late 19th-century milieu of scientific innovation, the book reflects Tesla's pioneering spirit and addresses contemporary debates about the burgeoning electric industry, appealing to both scientific and lay audiences. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and engineer, is renowned for his significant contributions to the development of electrical engineering and electromagnetism. Born in 1856, Tesla's formative experiences in Europe, paired with his later work in America, fueled his relentless quest to improve electrical systems. His tumultuous rivalry with contemporaries, particularly Thomas Edison, highlights the socio-political backdrop against which Tesla championed AC technology, ultimately influencing the global adoption of electricity. Tesla's work is essential reading for anyone intrigued by the evolution of modern electrical systems, as it not only showcases his innovative mind but also invites reflection on the transformative impact of technology on society. This book is a masterclass in scientific exposition that will captivate engineers, historians, and technology enthusiasts alike.

    Living is a balancing act. Ordinary activities like walking, running, or riding a bike require the brain to keep the body in balance. A dancer’s poised elegance and a tightrope walker’s breathtaking performance are feats of balance. Language abounds with expressions and figures of speech that invoke balance. People fret over work-life balance or try to eat a balanced diet. The concept crops up from politics—checks and balances, the balance of power, balanced budgets—to science, in which ideas of equilibrium are crucial. Why is balance so fundamental, and how do physical and metaphorical balance shed light on each other? 
     
    Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness. He analyzes balance metaphors across science, medicine, economics, the arts, and philosophy, showing why some aid understanding but others are misleading or harmful. Thagard contends that balance is ultimately a matter of making sense of the world. In both literal and metaphorical senses, balance is what enables people to solve the puzzles of life by turning sensory signals or an incongruous comparison into a coherent whole. 
     
    Bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Balance shows how an unheralded concept’s many meanings illuminate the human condition.

    When the British Government turn down a revolutionary weapons system in favour of the new Euro fighter they don't realise the wrath their decision will cause. The only radar system capable of detecting the new Thor's Hammer is the experimental Spyglass system being transported on a cruise liner commanded by ex-Navy Captain Eric Swanson. Martin Westfarland, designer of Thor's Hammer, decides to teach the British Government a lesson by sinking the liner and destroying Spyglass before passing Thor's Hammer onto the Iraqis who plan to use it to deliver a deadly bio-weapon to the west. Through a series of action-filled events, Swanson and Squadron Leader Gerry Denton are brought together to thwart the terrorist attack, while the SAS are assigned to locate and destroy the chemical lab in the Syrian Desert, which created the virus. Unfortunately the virus has already been loaded onto Thor's Hammer. Thus it falls to Denton to fly the Typhoon Euro fighter against the faster and stealthier Thor's Hammer before it can deliver its deadly payload.
