Summary

Sonic Boom Reduction explores the exciting possibility of a future with quieter supersonic flight, examining the science and technology driving this innovation. Historically, the intense sonic boom produced by aircraft exceeding the speed of sound has been a major obstacle. This book dives into how advanced aircraft designs, like modified wing shapes, and a better understanding of atmospheric conditions can significantly reduce the impact of these booms. The book draws from research, including NASA's QueSST program, to illustrate real-world advancements.

 
The book approaches the topic through a combination of theoretical explanations and practical applications, starting with the physics of sonic boom formation and progressing through design strategies and the regulatory landscape. You'll learn how computational fluid dynamics and new materials are contributing to this shift. By connecting aerospace engineering with environmental science and public policy, the book offers a broad perspective on the challenges and opportunities of supersonic travel.

 
The ultimate goal is to reconcile the desire for faster travel with environmental responsibility.

The Happy Vagina

Mika Simmons

The Happy Vagina shines a light on both the unique and sometimes awkward facts about everything gynaecological, creating an open dialogue for all sexes and generations.
“A fierce and fabulous celebration of women. Mika’s straight-talking, no-nonsense writing means she is the friend we don’t just want, but need. Beautiful and empowering. A must read.” – Laura Whitmore
In a world where the vagina is still, too frequently, considered taboo, this book aims to entertain, educate and enlighten. Mika Simmons, creator and host of 'The Happy Vagina' podcast, rightly believes that this taboo is problematic and can lead to a whole host of health issues. Intimate health and pleasure can be hard to talk about, regardless of background or experience, The Happy Vagina is here to smash this stigma for women, and men.
Medicine, politics, religion, and social conditioning have all had a thoroughly improper and exaggerated influence on women’s being – with many of the falsehoods told still negatively impacting us. Mika’s intention is to re-educate us all by shining a light on these ridiculous, historical myths and then debunk them by sharing the most unique, incredible, and empowering facts about the vagina, thereby encouraging a more open dialogue for everyone.
Covering everything from the myth of the wandering womb to mindful masturbation and orgasms to period poverty, the history of contraception, pregnancy and being childfree, Mika’s approachable and positive message urges all of us to know, and appreciate, our own bodies.
The Happy Vagina is a best-selling, top-rated book in the medical genre, providing an illustrated guide to gynaecology and obstetrics. Mika Simmons promotes a healthy body and spirit, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in fitness and women's health.
For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Davinia Taylor (It's Not A Diet), Matthew Mcconaughey (Greenlights), Lara Briden Nd (Period Repair Manual), and Cory Silverberg (The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability).

Profit over Privacy - How...

Matthew Crain

In Profit over Privacy, Matthew Crain gives internet surveillance a much-needed origin story by chronicling the development of its most important historical catalyst: web advertising. 
 
 
 
Profit over Privacy uses the 1990s as its backdrop to show how the massive data-collection infrastructure that undergirds the internet today is the result of twenty-five years of technical and political economic engineering. Crain considers the social causes and consequences of the internet's rapid embrace of consumer monitoring, detailing how advertisers and marketers adapted to the existential threat of the internet and marshaled venture capital to develop the now-ubiquitous business model called "surveillance advertising." He draws on a range of primary resources from government, industry, and the press and highlights the political roots of internet advertising to underscore the necessity of political solutions to reign in unaccountable commercial surveillance. 
 
 
 
Surveillance advertising is the result of political choices—not the inevitable march of technology. Unlike many other countries, the United States has no internet privacy law. A fascinating prehistory of internet advertising giants like Google and Facebook, Profit over Privacy argues that the internet did not have to turn out this way and that it can be remade into something better.
