Sinossi

Hypersonic Travel explores the fascinating realm of flight exceeding five times the speed of sound, delving into the aerospace engineering and materials science required to make it a reality. The book examines the intricate technologies behind hypersonic flight, such as scramjet technology for propulsion and advanced thermal protection systems, while addressing the challenges of extreme heat and pressure. One intriguing aspect is how computational fluid dynamics helps in designing aircraft capable of withstanding such intense conditions.

The book progresses systematically, starting with the fundamental aerodynamic principles of hypersonic flight before exploring critical areas like high-temperature alloys and engine designs like ramjets. It highlights the gap between theoretical possibilities and practical limitations, emphasizing the need for breakthroughs in materials science to overcome these hurdles. It also considers the potential impact of hypersonic technology on future defense strategies and commercial transport.

The historical context includes a look at early experimental aircraft like the X-1. This book uniquely balances theoretical explanations with real-world examples, making complex topics accessible to a broad audience. It also addresses controversies surrounding hypersonic flight, such as environmental impact and potential weaponization. The book supports its arguments with evidence from wind tunnel experiments, flight test results, and case studies of past programs.

Understanding Human Metabolism

Keith N. Frayn

Does eating more carbohydrates, or fats, cause one to put on more weight? Are ketone bodies toxins or vital products that keep us alive during starvation? Does the concept of 'fat-burning exercise' hold true? In this game-changing book, Keith Frayn, an international expert in human metabolism and nutrition, dispels common misconceptions about human metabolism, explaining in everyday language the important metabolic processes that underlie all aspects of our daily lives. Frayn describes the communication systems that enable our different organs and tissues to cooperate, for instance in providing fuel to our muscles when we exercise, and in preserving our tissues during fasting. He explores the impressive adaptability of human metabolism and discusses the metabolic disorders that can arise when metabolism 'goes wrong'. For anyone skeptical of information about diet and lifestyle, this concise book guides the listener through what metabolism really involves.

The Anomaly - The Bridge to the...

Jeff Miller

With the advent of the Quantum Computer, an "anomaly" occurs, and a bridge is formed to the virtual world. Androids, cyborgs, and creatures from the internet, begin crossing over into our world. At the same time, players of games on this new type of laptop, start crossing over into the world wide web. Soon, the word is out, everyone becomes effected, and the race is on for one of these "magic genie lamps," to capture crossovers to exploit them, or take advantage of this new entrepreneurial opportunity. Yet as the incidence rate increases, it causes havoc to our civilization, and threatens a doomsday event.

Red Dead Redemption - History...

Esther Wright, John Wills

While the Western was dying a slow death across the cultural landscape, it was blazing back to life as a video game in the early twenty-first century. Rockstar Games' Red Dead franchise, beginning with Red Dead Revolver in 2004, has grown into one of the most critically acclaimed video game franchises of the twenty-first century. Red Dead Redemption: History, Myth, and Violence in the Video Game West offers a critical, interdisciplinary look at this cultural phenomenon at the intersection of game studies and American history. 
 
 
 
Drawing on game studies, western history, American studies, and cultural studies, the authors train a wide-ranging, deeply informed analytic perspective on the Red Dead franchise—from its earliest incarnation to the latest, Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). Their intersecting chapters put the series in the context of American history, culture, and contemporary media, with inquiries into issues of authenticity, realism, the meaning of play and commercial promotion, and the relationship between the game and the wider cultural iterations of the classic Western. The contributors also delve into the role the series' development has played in recent debates around working conditions in the gaming industry and gaming culture.
