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.

    A humorous and insightful look into what advice works, what doesn’t, and what it means to transform yourself, by the co-hosts of the popular By the Book podcast. 
    In each episode of their podcast By the Book, Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer take a deep dive into a different self-help book, following its specific instructions, rules, and advice to the letter. From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, they try it all, record themselves along the way, then share what they’ve learned with their devoted and growing audience of fans who tune in. 
    Before they began their podcast, Jolenta wanted to believe the promises of self-help books, while Kristen was very much the skeptic. They embraced their differences of opinion, hoping they’d be good for laughs and downloads. But in the years since launching the By the Book, they’ve come to realize their show is about much more than humor. In fact, reading and following each book’s advice has actually changed and improved their lives. Thanks to the show, Kristen penned the Amish romance novel she’d always joked about writing, traveled back to her past lives, and she broached some difficult conversations with her husband about their marriage. Jolenta finally memorized her husband’s phone number, began tracking her finances, and fell in love with cutting clutter.  
    In How to Be Fine, Jolenta and Kristen synthesize the lessons and insights they’ve learned and share their experiences with everyone. How to Be Fine is a thoughtful look at the books and practices that have worked, real talk on those that didn’t, and a list of philosophies they want to see explored in-depth. The topics they cover include: 
    Getting off your device 
    Engaging in positive self-talk 
    Downsizing 
    Admitting you're a liar 
    Meditation 
    Going outside 
    Getting in touch with your emotions 
    Seeing a therapist 
    Part memoir, part prescriptive handbook, this honest, funny, and heartfelt guide is like a warm soul-baring conversation with your closest and smartest friends. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    We know much about our history from bones and DNA, but these studies do not tell us about the characteristics that are not preserved in the fossil record―the fleshy parts and behaviors. Looking Down the Tree applies evolutionary principles to understand the history of our species and the pressures of natural selection which led to our unique appearance and behaviors.Cruzan draws upon evidence from fossils, genomics, phylogenetics, coalescence theory, and the anatomy and physiology of our human ancestors and other animals to arrive at an understanding of the origin of human appearance and behavior. This evidence is discussed in the context of comparative biology, natural and sexual selection, evolutionary constraints, inbreeding and inclusive fitness, and genetic and cultural evolution.The story of our past that we piece together provides a novel view of how savanna habitats favored a unique set of adaptations. Other characteristics were outcomes of increasing brain size, which led to the birth of helpless infants that required years of childcare. We end this discussion with an evaluation of the importance of cultural evolution, as the transmission of skills and knowledge became ever-more important for human life. Like any other species, we discover that we are the product of the environments that our ancestors experienced.

    Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If you want to understand how Apple Inc. became an industry behemoth, look no further than the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the engineer Steve Wozniak and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II became one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning industry. 
     
     
      
    The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn't found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple's founders, or the way it set the stage for the company's multibillion-dollar future. Instead, historian Laine Nooney shows, what made the Apple II iconic was its software. In software, we discover the material reasons people bought computers. The story of personal computing in the United States is not about the evolution of hackers—it's about the rise of everyday users. 
     
     
      
    Recounting a constellation of software creation stories, Nooney offers a new understanding of how the hobbyists' microcomputers of the 1970s became the personal computer we know today. The Apple II Age offers an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu—and why so much of it converged around the pioneering Apple II.
