Sinossi

"Giant Waves" explores the science behind rogue waves, those unexpectedly massive ocean waves once dismissed as maritime myths. It investigates how these waves form, the significant dangers they pose to maritime safety and infrastructure, and the technological advancements used to detect and predict them. The book reveals that rogue waves, often several times larger than surrounding waves, can appear suddenly and with immense force, posing a significant threat to ships and offshore structures.

 
The book examines historical accounts and survivor stories alongside scientific data, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach encompassing oceanography, meteorology, and engineering to understand these extreme events. It highlights how increased global shipping and offshore energy exploration amplify the urgency of understanding and mitigating the risks associated with rogue waves. For example, the book discusses how constructive interference, wave-current interaction, and nonlinear effects can contribute to the formation of these ocean giants.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with basic ocean wave theory and moving through mechanisms of rogue wave formation, case studies, and current research efforts involving satellite altimetry and buoy networks. It concludes with practical steps to improve maritime safety and infrastructure resilience, offering valuable insights for students, researchers, maritime professionals, and anyone interested in the science of extreme ocean events.

Inclusive Transportation - A...

Veronica O. Davis, Tamika L. Butler

Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
 
 
 
In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
 
 
 
Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

In the Name of Sharks - 1st Edition

François Sarano

Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the latest scientific research on the biology and ethology of sharks and their exceptional characteristics, this book aims to break through the barrier of prejudice and to pay homage to their true nature. Representing a last vestige of wildness, their populations are nevertheless under threat—like so many species, they have been hunted and exploited by humans. Sarano argues for a change of mindset in which we lose ourselves in the world of the other, so that each living entity, human and non-human, can take their rightful place in the broader global ecosystem.

InVerse Medicine - Poems about...

Upreet Dhaliwal

These are poems about conversations that we'd like to have with ourselves and with others when our bodies and minds are fraying... 
There's struggle and triumph, loss and humanity within the pages of this eclectic collection of verse. 
Here's what Readers have to say: 
"[This] collection brings together the dilemmas doctors and clinicians face through the voices of poetry in a way that is quite extraordinarily moving. It is about intersections, beliefs, power, frailty and so much more." - Ruth 
"Words from a doctor's heart. The touch-points. The soft, comforting words, the firmness of harsh realities. Acceptance of the inevitable. Or the frustrating answers that make no sense." - Ashish 
"Some of the stories may sound unreal to those who haven't been to crowded public hospitals in large cities. A doctor's perspective beautifully captured. Most of the poems are short stories of amazing tales. If you read poetry or short stories, don't miss out on this one." - Wonchi Murry

The Happy Physician - Don't...

Nanda Sekhon

Physician, do you know how to heal thyself?
Or are you taking care of everyone else while you continuously feel empty and exhausted?
For many doctors, being a physician isn’t just a profession; it’s an identity. If you’re not careful, it can be an all-consuming identity, with nothing to spare for yourself and your family. This is no way to live your life because it can lead to burnout, depression, and poor health.
You are a physician, but you are also YOU. You can be happy and accomplished. You just have to find your balance.
Balance can be challenging. Dr. Nanda knows; she’s been there. She was burned out, depleted, and had nothing left to give. She began searching for the answer to her own unhappiness, only to discover that she was the culprit.
Through her health battle, fighting depression, and self-discovery, she learned that she didn’t have to fix everything for everyone and that she was worthy of love and happiness without having to burn herself out in the process. She learned to love herself for who she is, not just as a physician but as a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter.
Now, her mission is to teach you how to do the same. This book is going to be your guide. Nanda will teach you to spot burnout in yourself and others and how to step away and prioritize YOU when you see those signs.
How can you take care of others unless you take care of yourself?
It’s time to be a Happy Physician!
Nanda Sekhon is a physician in El Paso, Texas. She is a medical director of a hormone clinic in her hometown. Nanda has an adventurous spirit, and she loves influencing and empowering others. Her vision is to create a world where every person knows their worth outside of their career and where physicians can give true, quality care without fear of burnout.
