Summary

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.

    From the author of Tokyo Vice comes the wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history. 
     
    Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the internet did for information, but it didn't work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos―especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the center of the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollars' worth of Bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist. 
     
    So what really happened? The Devil Takes Bitcoin tells the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. You'll discover Bitcoin's connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japan's criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devil's dollars. All of this for less than the price of a single Bitcoin.

    Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
     
     
     
    Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

The author also captures the full spectrum of survival, from frontline healthcare workers battling exhaustion to corporate leaders scrambling to hold businesses afloat. But it is not merely confined to being a retrospective—it’s a call to action. It pushes readers to question: Are we truly ready for the next global crisis? With its influential narration and critical insights, this book is essential for anyone aspiring to apprehend the pandemic’s lessons and the 'tomorrow' of global health security.

    In emergency medicine, the first moments of patient care are crucial. A structured approach to initial assessment and triage ensures that life-threatening conditions are identified and managed promptly. The goal is to stabilize the patient while prioritizing those who need immediate intervention. 
    The Primary Survey follows the ABCDE approach—Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, and Exposure. This systematic evaluation helps in quickly identifying life-threatening issues. Airway assessment focuses on patency, identifying obstructions, and securing the airway if necessary. Breathing evaluation includes checking for respiratory distress, auscultating lung sounds, and providing oxygen or ventilation support. Circulation assessment involves monitoring pulse, blood pressure, and perfusion, with immediate fluid resuscitation or hemorrhage control as needed. Disability evaluation considers neurological status, including Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scoring. Exposure involves a full-body examination to detect hidden injuries while maintaining temperature regulation. 
    Once the primary survey stabilizes immediate threats, the Secondary Survey provides a more comprehensive assessment. This includes a detailed history using the AMPLE mnemonic—Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last meal, and Events leading to the illness or injury. A thorough head-to-toe physical examination follows, including imaging and laboratory investigations if needed. The secondary survey ensures that less obvious but critical injuries or illnesses are not overlooked.
