Sinopsis

Fire Trucks explores the fascinating science and technology behind these vital emergency vehicles. From the evolution of firefighting from horse-drawn wagons to today's advanced systems, discover the intricate engineering that allows these machines to save lives. The book reveals how firefighters utilize sophisticated equipment such as hydraulic systems, which power ladders and water cannons, operating under principles of pressure, flow, and crucial safety mechanisms.

 
The book uniquely blends technical details with real-world applications, showcasing the diverse types of fire trucks—pumpers, tankers, ladder trucks, and rescue vehicles—and their specific functions. It progresses from fundamental components like the chassis, engine, and pump to communication and navigation technologies, including GPS and computer-aided dispatch.

 
A central argument underscores that fire trucks are sophisticated, integrated systems requiring continuous innovation and training. Looking ahead, Fire Trucks considers the future of firefighting technology, including the potential integration of drones, robotics, and advanced materials. By understanding fire truck design and operation, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the science behind emergency response and the critical role these vehicles play in firefighter safety and community protection.

    Christine discovered long distance backpacking while surfing the internet at work. She decided that day to attempt to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. One adventure led to another and a few years later she set out on the Wonderland Trail in Mt Rainier National Park.

    “A tour de force of spine care from a master spine surgeon who has literally seen it all over the course of a four-decade career! This book is a must-read that is accessible to both the layperson and healthcare professionals. I found it both enjoyable and informative.” — Dr. Andrew J. Schoenfeld, Harvard Medical School professor and Spine editor in chief
    		 
    A practical and occasionally provocative look at the state of spinal surgical care
    		 
    Just a few decades ago most spine surgery was literally a gamble: maybe you’d get better and maybe you wouldn’t. Today we have the knowledge, understanding, and technology to predictably relieve pain and neurological deficits like never before — yet many patients are still getting subpar care.  
    		 
    Foundational knowledge of surgical spine care isn’t spreading to the medical community, let alone to patients, whose quality of life hangs in the balance. With The Back Story on Spine Care, orthopedic specialist Dr. Drew Bednar presents case studies that illuminate the common issues plaguing patients — and their treatment — today.
    		 
    Back problems are among the most common health issues, and with Dr. Bednar’s insights, knowledge, and practical tips, medical professionals can provide care that leads to healthier backs and happier lives.

    Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
     
      
     
    Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
     
     
     
    Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.
