Sinopse

Weapon Durability explores the science and technology behind how weapons withstand stress and avoid failure, bridging the gap between historical artifacts, modern tools, and fictional portrayals. It examines material science, fracture mechanics, and stress analysis, revealing why some materials are more suitable for weapon construction than others. For example, the book details how understanding a material's tensile strength is crucial for predicting its breaking point, and how finite element analysis can simulate the impact of forces on a weapon's structural integrity. The book uniquely contrasts real-world data with exaggerated depictions of weapon durability in manga and other media, highlighting common misconceptions. Beginning with fundamental concepts in materials science, it progresses through material properties, stress mechanics, and finally, a critique of fictional representations. Ultimately, Weapon Durability provides a scientific lens through which to view the capabilities and limitations of weapons, appealing to those interested in science, technology, and the cultural perception of weapons.

Conscious - A Brief Guide to the...

Anônimo

2020 Audie Finalist  
As concise and enlightening as Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, this mind-expanding dive into the mystery of consciousness is an illuminating meditation on the self, free will, and felt experience. 
What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we? 
In this wonderfully accessible audiobook, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion, or a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand consciousness, we must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it. 
Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about consciousness—allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves, if indeed we can.
