Sinopsis

Fastest Strikes explores the incredible world of animal predators that weaponize speed, focusing on the biological and physical mechanisms enabling their rapid attacks. Delving into evolutionary biology, biomechanics, and robotics, the book reveals how natural selection has optimized anatomical features and neurological pathways for peak predatory performance. For instance, the mantis shrimp's punch is so fast it can generate cavitation bubbles, while trap-jaw ants snap their mandibles shut at speeds exceeding 200 mph. 

 
The book presents a detailed examination of these high-speed movements, dissecting the evolution of rapid strike mechanisms, the biomechanics governing them, and the neurological control systems orchestrating these actions. Chapters progress from fundamental concepts to specific examples like the mantis shrimp, trap-jaw ants, and vipers, highlighting the interconnectedness of anatomy, physiology, and behavior in driving evolutionary change.

 
 Ultimately, Fastest Strikes showcases how understanding these biological systems can inspire technological innovations in robotics and materials science.

    Perfect - Feeling Judged on...

    Social media is replete with images of 'perfection'. But many are unrealistic and contribute to a pervasive sense of never being good enough: not thin enough; not pretty enough; not cool enough. Try too hard and you risk being condemned for being ‘attention-seeking’, don't try hard enough and you're slacking. 
     
    Rosalind Gill challenges polarized perspectives that see young women as either passive victims of social media or as savvy digital natives. She argues the real picture is far more ambivalent. Getting likes and followers and feeling connected to friends feels fantastic, but posting material and worrying about 'haters' causes significant anxieties. 
     
    Gill uses young women's own words to show how they feel watched all the time; worry about getting things wrong; and struggle to live up to an ideal of being 'perfect' yet at the same time ‘real’. It's the wake-up call we all need.

    The world is not as we think it is. We are taught standard accepted beliefs from birth and many of them are not correct or a misunderstanding of the truth. 
    Who am I to say so? At this writing I’m nearly seventy years old and I’ve spent my life observing reality as an engineer and explorer of the unknown. 
    I’ve had many weird and paranormal experiences and done lots of research. Many patterns have made themselves known to me and this is why I make these types of statements. 
    This book is an effort to shed light on these misunderstandings and change your perception of the world we live in. 
    Much of what I will relate is based on my subjective experiences and research many would say does not conform to the accepted scientific method yet you will see that my observations make a lot of common sense. 
    Some of these concepts have been around for thousands of years but are not commonly accepted today. My effort is to show you why these ideas are likely true and how these concepts also are built on to provide new understandings. 
    At the end of each chapter logic is provided on how general belief in these new ideas will change humanity. 
    My hope is that by the end of this book you the reader will open your mind more about many things which are strange but possibly true.
