Synopsis

"Fire Safety" explores the science, technology, and psychology behind understanding and preventing fires, emphasizing proactive knowledge for mitigating risks. Did you know smoke inhalation poses a greater threat than flames in fire-related deaths? The book examines combustion, fire dynamics, and detection/suppression technologies, providing a comprehensive approach to fire protection in residential and commercial settings.The book begins by dissecting the combustion process, then moves to detection and suppression technologies such as smoke alarms and sprinkler systems. Finally, it focuses on human behavior and fire safety practices, like evacuation plans and fire drills. By understanding the fire triangle and tetrahedron, readers can grasp how different materials ignite and burn, leading to more effective fire safety strategies.Grounded in scientific research and real-world case studies, the book uses data from organizations like the NFPA and USFA. It offers insights into building codes, emergency plans, and the evolution of fire suppression techniques, making it a valuable resource for homeowners, students, and safety professionals seeking to improve their knowledge of fire prevention and preparedness.

    "Every day of our lives, we make judgments—and we don’t always do a very good job of it. Thinking 101 is an invaluable resource to anyone who wants to think better. In remarkably clear language, and with engaging and often funny examples, Woo-kyoung Ahn uses cutting-edge research to explain the mistakes we often make—and how to avoid them.”—Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and The Four Tendencies"Thinking 101 is a must-read—a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think. Building from her popular Yale course, Professor Woo-kyoung Ahn shows how a better understanding of how our minds work can help us become smarter and wiser—and even kinder."—Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology, University of Toronto, Brooks and Suzanne Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University, and the author of The Sweet Spot"With an engaging and fresh narration, Lessa presents each fascinating chapter in a fun and easy way that helps listeners understand how to think more clearly and constructively."- AudioFilePsychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called “Thinking” to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone.She shows how “thinking problems” stand behind a wide range of challenges, from common, self-inflicted daily aggravations to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout, Ahn draws on decades of research from other cognitive psychologists, as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly accessible style that uses fun examples from pop culture, anecdotes from her own life, and illuminating stories from history and the headlines.Thinking 101 is an audiobook that goes far beyond other resources on thinking, showing how we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases but also the lives of everyone around us. It is, quite simply, required listening for everyone who wants to think—and live—better.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
