Sinopsis

Touch Textures explores the often-overlooked sense of touch, revealing the intricate science behind our tactile experiences. From the nerve receptors in our skin to the brain's complex processing, this book delves into how we perceive and interact with the world through texture. Readers will gain a new appreciation for the diversity of both natural and artificial textures, understanding how tactile perception influences everything from product design to our emotional well-being.

 
The book begins by grounding readers in the fundamentals of tactile science, examining skin anatomy and neural pathways. It then progresses to detailed analyses of specific textures, categorized as either natural (like fur or bark) or artificial (such as sandpaper or glass). Each texture profile includes insights into its physical properties and real-world applications.

 
Did you know that our sense of touch was crucial for survival and adaptation or that microscopic images can reveal each texture's unique properties? By taking a multidisciplinary approach, Touch Textures distinguishes itself, blending scientific rigor with practical applications in design, therapy, and environmental awareness. This integrated perspective highlights the value of texture knowledge and promotes a deeper sensory experience.

Chapter 19 1994 – A Brief Overview of F1’s Darkest Season
Since 2015 I’ve been researching all the books, internet sources and magazines (Autosport, F1 News and Motor Sport) covering 1990’s F1. Furthermore I’ve interviewed various key figures employed by Benetton, Ford Electronics and Williams. In addition, I’ve studied all the on track action from time – simply because I love reliving that era of F1. This book & its short stories listed above are the fruits of all that hard work and research.
As a devoted Formula 1 fan, I thought I knew everything about the sport from the 1990’s before starting this project. But since interviewing those involved it soon became apparent how much had yet to be made public. I’ve resigned from my day job purely to write this book. That is h
