Synopsis

Hydroplanes explores the resurgence of water-based aviation, focusing on hybrid aircraft that use water takeoff to boost efficiency and cut environmental impact. The book dives into the science and technology behind these designs, arguing they're a practical solution for regional transportation. Interestingly, combining advanced materials with innovative hull designs allows modern hydroplanes to achieve a balance of range, payload, and fuel efficiency that rivals traditional aircraft in specific scenarios. 

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the scientific principles of water-based flight, like hull design and aerodynamics, before moving into the latest advancements in materials and propulsion, including hybrid-electric systems. It also highlights existing hydroplane operations to demonstrate their economic viability. This approach offers a holistic view, examining not just the technology, but also the environmental, economic, and regulatory hurdles to widespread hydroplane adoption, connecting aviation technology to environmental science and economics.

Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses...

Melvin "Bird Man Mel" Toellner,...

As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
