Summary

Rocket Trains explores the ambitious concept of integrating rocket propulsion into high-speed rail, aiming to revolutionize transportation. It examines the feasibility of rocket-powered trains, weighing the potential for unprecedented speeds against significant engineering and economic challenges. The book dives into the physics of rocket science, discussing concepts like thrust and propellants, while also analyzing the limitations of current high-speed systems like Maglev. Could rocket trains offer a viable path to faster, more efficient travel than current technologies allow?

 
The book uniquely blends rocket science with railway engineering, assessing the potential for rocket propulsion to overcome the limitations of traditional systems. It unfolds systematically, beginning with the fundamental principles of rocketry and progressing to a conceptual design for a rocket-propelled train. It addresses critical engineering hurdles such as thrust control and safety, and it also investigates the economic viability, considering costs, revenue streams, and environmental impact.

 
Rocket Trains uses theoretical analysis and computer simulations, drawing on data from existing high-speed rail systems and rocket engine performance metrics. The book challenges conventional thinking, offering a fresh perspective on meeting the growing demand for faster, more sustainable travel.

Florida's Space Coast tells the compelling story of America's half century in space exploration from the successful launch of the first two-stage rocket in 1950 through the space shuttle missions of 2000. Told from the unique viewpoint of the people who built the Spaceport, this book shows how the space program transformed the east central Florida coast from a traditional citrus production and tourist area to one of the most influential high-tech centers in the nation. 
 
 
 
Cape Canaveral was chosen as a missile launch site because of its many geographical advantages. However, in the early years of the space program, the area was far from an ideal place for NASA employees to raise their families. NASA brought in thousands of space-related workers, who, besides sending machines and people into space, had to meet the challenge of moving their families from urban environs to a rural southern county. This book engagingly recounts the parallel stories of the establishment of America's space program and its impact on the development of Brevard County.

Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
 
   
 
In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
 
  
 
Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.

The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places.



Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.



In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.

The question is no longer if electric vehicles will happen, or even when they'll happen, but how. Veteran automotive reporter Mike Colias takes you inside the transformation in this thoroughly reported profile of the hard pivot in the car business, a $2 trillion industry undergoing the biggest change in its 120-year history—a change that is already sending ripples across the entire global economy. 
 
 
 
Colias documents the inevitable shift from pistons to electrons from every angle, taking you inside the boardrooms where executives battle over their EV strategies to take on Tesla and, more recently, emerging Chinese powerhouses such as BYD. He brings you to family-run car dealerships deciding if they'll sell EVs—or sell their businesses. He follows entrepreneurs along lonely stretches of road that will soon need charging stations. He talks to power-train engineers whose skills were once the beating heart of the automotive industry but who now find themselves being replaced by coders. 
 
 
 
Inevitable is a deeply enjoyable and smart book that uses masterful storytelling to capture the expanse and dynamism of the transition to electric vehicles in profound detail, bringing to life its seismic effects on everything and everyone.
