Summary

Silent Planes explores the revolutionary advancements in noise reduction technology aimed at transforming aviation into a more sustainable and community-friendly industry. The book delves into the science and engineering driving the quest for quieter skies, addressing the critical issue of aircraft noise, which has been linked to sleep disturbance and cardiovascular problems in communities near airports. This comprehensive exploration highlights how innovative solutions are not just incremental improvements but represent a fundamental shift in aircraft design, operation, and regulation, paving the way for sustainable aviation. The book's unique approach lies in its integration of technical insights with policy analysis and community perspectives, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience.

 
Divided into three sections, the book progresses from the fundamental principles of aircraft noise generation to examining specific noise reduction technologies, such as advanced engine designs and airframe modifications. It further investigates regulatory and societal aspects, including noise certification standards and airport noise management strategies. Through acoustic modeling, wind tunnel experiments, and real-world flight data, Silent Planes provides a balanced view of the challenges and opportunities in achieving quieter and more sustainable air travel.

    The weather governs our lives. It fills gaps in conversations, determines our dress, and influences our architecture. No matter how much our lives may have moved indoors, no matter how much we may rely on technology, we still monitor the weather. Wait Five Minutes: Weatherlore in the Twenty-First Century draws from folkloric, literary, and scientific theory to offer up new ways of thinking about this most ancient of phenomena. 
 
 
 
Weatherlore is a concept that describes the folk beliefs and traditions about the weather that are passed down casually among groups of people. From detailing personal experiences at picnics and suburban lawns to critically analyzing storm stories, novels, and flood legends, contributors offer engaging multidisciplinary perspectives on weatherlore. 
 
 
 
As we move further into the twenty-first century, an increasing awareness of climate change and its impacts on daily life calls for a folkloristic reckoning with the weather and a rising need to examine vernacular understandings of weather and climate. Weatherlore helps us understand and shape global political conversations about climate change and biopolitics at the same time that it influences individual, group, and regional lives and identities. We use weather, and thus its folklore, to make meaning of ourselves, our groups, and, quite literally, our world.

    Ancient and carbon-rich, old-growth forests play an irreplaceable role in the environment. Their complex ecosystems clean the air, purify the water, cool the planet, and teem with life. In a time of climate catastrophe, old-growth and other natural forests face existential threats caused by humans―and their survival is crucial to ours.In a bicoastal journey, environmental journalist Lynda V. Mapes connects the present and future of Pacific Northwest forests to the legacy forests of the northeastern United States. Beginning in Oregon and Washington, where old growth supports, and is supported by, the region’s salmon, we meet Jerry Franklin, who led scientists in recognizing and studying the distinctiveness of these majestic spaces. From there, we journey to Vancouver Island, where Indigenous activists and scientists strive to preserve the health of Nuu-chah-nulth traditional homelands amid continued clearcutting. On the East Coast, we see the corduroy patterns of lands that have been logged for generations, leaving industrial carnage along formerly life-filled waterways.Mapes invites us to understand the world where trees are kin, not commodities. The Trees Are Speaking is a must-listen for those with a deep interest in environmental stewardship, Indigenous land rights, and the urgent challenges posed by climate change.
