Synopsis

Fiber Optic Revolution explores the groundbreaking development and impact of fiber optics on modern society. This technology, based on light transmission through glass fibers, has revolutionized telecommunications, sensing, and medical instruments. The book highlights how the pursuit of better optical lenses during the Cold War indirectly advanced glass manufacturing, and it details the critical role of ultra-pure glass in enabling low-loss light transmission over vast distances.

 
The book progresses from the fundamental principles of light transmission to the engineering innovations that enabled mass production of fiber optic cables. It showcases the diverse applications of this technology, such as enabling remote medical diagnoses and advanced sensing technologies, and emphasizes the convergence of scientific discovery, engineering innovation, and market demand that fueled this revolution. Real-world case studies illustrate the transformative power of digital infrastructure based on fiber optics.

 
Furthermore, the book delves into the societal impacts of widespread internet access and the digital divide. It offers a balanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities associated with fiber optics, making complex topics in materials science and photonics accessible to a general audience interested in technology and science.

    Beneath the waves, one of Earth’s most extraordinary ecosystems is fading from colour to white. Coral reefs — the rainforests of the sea — are dying at an unprecedented rate, taking with them a quarter of all marine life and the livelihoods of millions who depend on them. 
    In The Last Coral, Alex Southwick journeys from the Great Barrier Reef to the islands of the Pacific, tracing the human and ecological story of the planet’s most fragile wonder. Through scientists, divers, and coastal communities, Southwick captures both the urgency of the crisis and the fierce devotion of those fighting to preserve what remains. 
    This is not just a tale of loss, but of endurance — of reefs regenerating in unlikely places, and of people refusing to surrender to despair. 
    Measured, moving, and unsentimental, The Last Coral asks what it means to love something vanishing — and whether that love might yet be enough to bring it back.

    Cardiac Cowboys is the dramatic story of five deeply flawed geniuses who together—and in competition with each other—invented open-heart surgery against all conventional medical wisdom and saved millions of lives. 
     
     
     
    A decade after World War II, there was still no such thing as open-heart surgery, and yet half a million Americans were dying from heart disease every year. One in a hundred children would suffer and die from congenital heart disease as well, and doctors did little other than predict their deaths. After the first daring operation in 1954 and through the next three decades, five heroic surgeons braved the scorn of their peers, withstood fierce desperation, and faced possible death in order to devise procedures that would save overwhelming numbers of those doomed children and provide hope for a new life to all manner of heart-failing individuals. Devising and mastering heart transplants and bypass surgery, they invented artificial heart valves, the lifesaving pacemaker, and worked toward the holy grail of an artificial heart as their private and professional lives imploded. The story of the Cardiac Cowboys, their outsized personalities, and often self-destructive behavior is a saga more thrilling and exhilarating than fiction.
