Sinopse

Ship Propulsion Systems explores the fascinating engineering behind how ships traverse the oceans, from traditional sails to modern engines. Global trade relies heavily on efficient and reliable ship propulsion, making the understanding of these systems crucial. Interestingly, the resurgence of sail technology offers a sustainable approach to reduce carbon emissions and improve fuel efficiency, contrasting with the more established, but environmentally impactful, engine technologies.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental principles of naval architecture and hydrodynamics before delving into various engine types, including diesel, gas turbines, and electric propulsion. It then explores integrating sail technology into modern ships and culminates with a discussion of hybrid propulsion systems and alternative fuels. Understanding the mechanics of marine engines, such as internal combustion, requires a grasp of mechanical engineering principles.

 
This book stands out by comprehensively covering both conventional and alternative propulsion methods, crucial for addressing the challenges of the 21st-century maritime industry. It adopts an analytical approach, presenting information clearly and concisely, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience, including students and professionals in mechanical engineering, naval architecture, and marine engineering.

Planta Sapiens - The New Science...

Paco Calvo, Natalie Lawrence

An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
 
 
 
Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
 
 
 
A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

Mayo Clinic Guide to Gut Health...

M.B.B.S. Sahil Khanna

A comprehensive guide to understanding your gut, its influence on your health, and what you can do to protect it. 
Digestion may be its primary job, but your gut is pulling double duty behind the scenes. Sometimes referred to as the body’s “second brain,” your gut plays an important role in everything from immunity and brain function to metabolism and skin health. 
Within your gut resides a bustling community of trillions of microorganisms working 24/7 to fight off harmful invaders, create essential nutrients, and keep your body running like a well-oiled machine. When this delicate ecosystem, known as the gut microbiome, is thrown off balance, it can trigger a range of health issues. 
Mayo Clinic Guide to Gut Health is an expert-driven resource from Mayo Clinic gastroenterologists that explores everything you need to know to take control of digestive issues.
