In this entertaining history of the jetliner, Jay Spenser traces aviation's challenges from the outset, and follows the flow of the simple yet powerful ideas that led us to defy gravity. Here are the pioneers—innovators such as Otto Lilienthal, Igor Sikorsky, Louis Blériot, Hugo Junkers, and Jack Northrop—whose amazing contributions collectively solved the puzzle of flight. Along the way, Spenser demystifies the modern jetliner, examining the airplane from wings to flight controls to fuselages to landing gear, to show how each part came into being and evolved over time. And finally The Airplane addresses the future of aviation, outlining the breathtaking possibilities that await us tomorrow, many miles above the earth.Who were aviation's dreamers, and where did they get their inspiration?How did birds, insects, marine mammals, and fish help us to fly?How did the bicycle beget the airplane, and hot water heaters lead to metal fuselages?Who figured out how to fly without seeing the ground, enabling airline travel in all weather conditions?Mostra libro

Francis Bacon - a leading figure in the history of science - never made a major discovery, provided a lasting explanation of any physical phenomena or revealed any hidden laws of nature. How then can he rank as he does alongside Newton? Bacon was the first major thinker to describe how science should be done, and to explain why. Scientific knowledge should not be gathered for its own sake but for practical benefit to mankind. And Bacon promoted experimentation, coming to outline and define the rigorous procedures of the 'scientific method' that today from the very bedrock of modern scientific progress. John Henry gives a dramatic account of the background to Bacon's innovations and the sometimes unconventional sources for his ideas. Why was he was so concerned to revolutionize the attitude to scientific knowledge - and why do his ideas for reform still resonate today?Mostra libro

They Called Us River Rats: The Last Batture Settlement of New Orleans is the previously untold story of perhaps the oldest outsider settlement in America, an invisible community on the annually flooded shores of the Mississippi River. This community exists in the place between the normal high and low water line of the Mississippi River, a zone known in Louisiana as the batture.Until now the stories of this way of life have existed only in the memories of those who have lived here. They Called Us River Rats also explores the troubled relationship between people inside the levees, the often-reviled batture folks, and the river itself. It traces the struggle between batture folks and city authorities, the commercial interests that claimed the river, and Louisiana's most powerful politicians.Today Fry is among the senior generation of "River Rats" living in a vestigial colony of twelve "camps" on New Orleans's river batture, a fragment of a settlement that once stretched nearly six miles and numbered hundreds of homes. It is the last riparian settlement on the Lower Mississippi and a contrarian, independent life outside urban zoning, planning, and flood protection. This book is for everyone who ever felt the pull of the Mississippi River or saw its towering levees and wondered who could live on the other side.Mostra libro
When I look around at the world, I see events that are strikingly obvious should not be happening. There are so many crazy people, ideas, concepts and events going on right now all over the world at a time when we have to be rational and objective so that we can take ourselves out of the rush to extinction that all of these crazy people are sending us.I concluded we must, therefore, be in the Bizarro Universe. I started to think about the events in my life that made it change from a perfectly 'Normal' life, to the one I am sharing with all of you and realized that somewhere along the line, probably when I lost the love of my life, through no fault of my own, that this was the turning point and it propelled me into this 'Bizarro Universe'. The more I thought about it, the more the book you are about to read came into focus for me. I had studied lots of Quantum Physics and Astronomy in my life, so I came up with this theory you are about to learn about here.The biggest piece of evidence, was when I realized that in a standard deck of playing cards there are no 'ONES'. They all start from the 'TWOs". Why is that? I pondered and then realized that it's just exactly what you would expect in this Bizarre Universe, the NON RATIONAL ONE, the one we are all forced into by bad events in our lives. This, of course, would mean that there is also another universe out there, where my twin and your twin are living in which everything is correct, happy and the planet is not threatened with Extinction because everyone is doing the right things to reduce their carbon footprint, reduce crime, reduce political unrest, social injustice, etc.This made me realize that there must be bridges between the 'Good Universe', the one we were all meant for, This book is a roadmap for how to get back to your correct life in the opposite universe.Mostra libro
