Introduction to Soil Mechanics

Tara Pandey

Synopsis

"Introduction to Soil Mechanics" is an indispensable guide in civil engineering, exploring the fundamental principles that govern soil behavior. We cater to a global audience, including readers in the United States, where geotechnical engineering plays a pivotal role in infrastructure development. Our aim is to demystify the complex world beneath our feet, breaking down the interactions between soils and applied forces into digestible concepts.
We start with an overview of soil mechanics, highlighting its significance in civil engineering. The book unfolds the relationships between soils and structures, emphasizing the need to understand soil behavior for stable constructions. We cover essential topics such as soil properties, particle size distribution, and compaction, laying a solid foundation for understanding the mechanical intricacies beneath the Earth's surface.
The book includes case studies from around the world, including the U.S., adding real-world context to the theoretical framework. We address geotechnical challenges, foundation design for high-rise buildings, slope stability analysis, and stormwater management, aligning with sustainable engineering practices.
By addressing contemporary challenges like liquefaction during seismic events, we provide a holistic view of geotechnical engineering. "Introduction to Soil Mechanics" is a practical guide blending theoretical concepts with real-world applications, making it a valuable resource for engineers and students globally.

The Secrets of Alchemy

Lawrence M. Principe

In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.

How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth

Ross Cameron

How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth is a book of straight talk about what it really takes to become a day trader, and how to learn what you need to know. 
Do you think you know what day trading is really about? If so, where did you get your information? Social media is full of people claiming that they made a killing on a stock. Just as many people will warn you to stay away from day trading because they lost everything on some "sure thing" that went bad in a hurry. 
So what should you believe? How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth is the first book to talk candidly and in detail about how to become a day trader. It's written by me, Ross Cameron, the guy who turned $583 into more than $10 million. Though my results are not typical, they are fully verified and audited. I also have over one million subscribers who tune into my YouTube channel to watch me trade. They see both my winning trades and my losing ones. Yes, even I have days where I lose money. That's just the reality, and that's what I want to share with you.
