Sinopse

Transportation Basics explores the fascinating world of how we move, examining the science and technology behind various vehicles. It delves into how transportation has evolved, impacting not only our ability to travel but also shaping trade, urbanization, and cultural exchange. Think about it: the invention of the wheel revolutionized land travel, while advancements in shipbuilding opened up global trade routes. The book uniquely presents a broad overview, tracing the history of transportation from early animal-powered carts to modern high-speed trains.

 
It begins with the fundamental principles of motion and energy, then dedicates sections to land, water, and air transport, covering bicycles, boats, airplanes, and more. Each mode is examined through its history, technology, and engineering. Finally, the book discusses emerging technologies like electric vehicles and autonomous driving, highlighting their potential impact on society and the environment.

 
By understanding the underlying principles and historical trajectory of transportation, readers can make informed decisions about its future development and contribute to a more sustainable world.

    Title 1 - With the world watching the news each day about the infamous COVID-19 Virus, a version of what is more broadly classified as a "Coronavirus," like SARS, it's hard to ignore the facts and the opinions as many economies are being put on hold, stocks are plummeting, businesses are applying for loans, and everyone is encouraged to stay at home. 
    But what do we know or suspect so far about the beginnings and the nature of the virus? That's something we will inspect at this time. So go ahead and start reading everything I could find about it. I hope this will help you gain greater insights into what's happening. 
    Title 2 - Being stuck at home can be annoying. I watched as my in-laws were eager to hug our children but didn't, just because they wanted to abide by the rules the president of the United States and many other international leaders have set. Some people say they lost their jobs. Others report being sick of one another, not of the virus. Fortunately, I live in a nice-enough home, but I can't imagine how hard it is for some people who live in a small apartment, like the ones I've seen in Tokyo. 
    This book shows you some things you should or should not do during the time of being quarantined because of an epidemic or pandemic.

    From the first microbial exchanges of DNA to Tinder and sexbots, how did sex begin, and how did it evolve to be so varied and complex in humans? What influence do our genetic ancestors have on our current love lives? And what might sex look like in the future? 
     
     
     
    With acuity, humor, and respect for human diversity, The Shortest History of Sex reveals where the many facets of our sexuality—chemical, anatomical, behavioral, social—come from. Chasing down our evolutionary family tree, from the first aquatic creatures to primate societies, David Baker sheds light on our baffling array of passions, impulses, and fetishes, and guides us toward a clear understanding of one of the deepest, most abiding forces of human nature. 
     
     
     
    The Shortest History of Sex also charts how sex changed for humans across the foraging, agrarian, and modern eras, showing how, even as our biology and sexual instincts have remained the same, the current nature of our sex lives has no historical or evolutionary precedent. 
     
     
     
    The result is a revealing, utterly unique insight into history and human behavior—and the profound forces of nature and nurture compelling our most intimate relationships.

    ‘One of the most important books of the decade’ Country Life 
    Finally, a practical, realistic plan to rescue, preserve and enhance nature. 
    News about Britain’s wildlife and ecosystems tends to be grim. In Green and Prosperous Land, Oxford economist and Natural Capital Committee chair Dieter Helm shares his radical but tangible plan for positive change. 
    This pragmatic approach to environmentalism includes a summary of Britain’s green assets, a look towards possible futures and an achievable 25-year plan for a green and prosperous country. The bold generational plan assesses the environment as a whole, explains the necessity of protecting and enhancing our green spaces and offers a clear, financially sound strategy to put Britain on a greener path. 
    Helm’s arguments expose the economic inefficiencies in our environmental policies and thus highlight the need for change. Leaving behind the current sterile and ineffective battle between the environment and the economy, this revolutionary plan champions the integration of the economy and the environment together to deliver sustainable, eco-friendly economic growth. There is hope, and there is time, but we must act now. 
    Helm's award-winning approach to conservation is not only strategic, but also deeply rooted in economics and policy. His plan for a greener Britain is not just a dream, but a well-thought-out, achievable goal that integrates the best of science, business, and public planning. 
    For fans of Isabella Tree (Wilding), Vaclav Smil (Size), Bill Gates (Source Code), Linda J. Lear (Under the Sea Wind), and Rachel Carson (The Edge of the Sea).
