Sinossi

Space Elevators explores the ambitious concept of lifting payloads and people into orbit via a direct Earth-to-space connection, potentially revolutionizing space access. The book examines the history of this idea, from science fiction to serious engineering proposals, and delves into the core physics and orbital mechanics that underpin the technology. One intriguing possibility discussed is the use of advanced materials like carbon nanotubes to construct the tether, the critical link between Earth and a counterweight in geostationary orbit. The book also considers the environmental impact of constructing and operating these systems.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept and its technical design, then moves into the significant engineering challenges, like tether materials and climber design, and concludes with broader implications. A key focus is materials science and aerospace engineering needed to bring the concept to life. It highlights how robotic systems and advancements in materials are crucial. The book provides a comprehensive look at this transformative space technology, making it valuable for anyone interested in the future of space exploration.

Everyday Trauma - Remapping the...

Tracey Shors PhD

A neuroscientist explores how trauma impacts the brain, especially for women—and how we can learn to heal ourselvesEveryone experiences trauma. Whether a specific harrowing event or a series of stressful moments that culminate over time, trauma can echo and etch itself into our brain as we remember it again and again throughout our lives.In Everyday Trauma, neuroscientist Dr. Tracey Shors examines trauma with a focus on its pervasive nature—how it can happen at any time, through big or small events, and how it often reappears in the form of encoded memory. Her research reveals that when we are reminded of our trauma, reliving that tragic moment copies yet another memory of it in our brain, making it that much more difficult to forget. Dr. Shors also explores the neuroscience behind why women in particular are more vulnerable to stress and traumatic events, setting them up to be three times more likely than men to suffer PTSD.With potential long-term consequences such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, trauma can have a lasting impact on both the brain and body. Dr. Shors illuminates the effective tools that can reduce the repetitive thoughts that reinforce our traumas, including cognitive-based therapies and trauma-informed care such as her own groundbreaking program, a combination of mental and physical training called MAP Training.By understanding how our brain responds to trauma and practicing proven techniques that can train our brains and help us let go of our tragic memories—whatever they may be—we are better equipped to leave our traumatic pasts behind and live in a brighter present.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
