Sinopse

"Lighthouse Technology" explores the fascinating evolution of these critical maritime structures, chronicling their journey from basic beacons to advanced, automated systems. Lighthouses played a crucial role in shaping maritime history, not only by reducing shipwrecks but also by facilitating global trade. One intriguing insight is how the development of the Fresnel lens revolutionized illumination, significantly extending the visible range of lighthouses.

 
The book examines lighthouse construction and illumination technologies, their impact on maritime safety and trade, and their influence on coastal communities. It reveals how lighthouses represent a nexus of technology, human innovation, and environmental challenges. Starting with foundational principles, the book progresses chronologically, detailing key innovations like parabolic reflectors, automated systems, and the integration of radar and GPS.

 
By blending technical analysis with historical narrative, the book offers a unique perspective, highlighting the significance of lighthouses in shaping maritime history and technological advancement. It positions lighthouses as symbols of progress, resilience, and international cooperation, offering a comprehensive view of these often-overlooked structures.

  • Quantum Physics Made Simple - From the Origins of the Universe to Quantum Computing — Discover Superposition Tunneling Time Light and Relativity in the Simplest Possible Way - cover

    Quantum Physics Made Simple -...

    Quantum physics sounds brilliant—until someone actually tries to explain it. 
    Suddenly you’re drowning in equations, paradoxes, or New Age promises. You’re told particles can be in two places at once… that time isn’t real… that light behaves like a wave and a particle… but no one seems to explain how or why in a way that actually makes sense. 
    So you nod, smile, and move on—still confused. 
    This audiobook fixes that. 
    You’ll understand what superposition really is. What tunneling actually means. How Einstein proved light could knock out electrons. Why your thoughts might influence physical matter. And how quantum theory is powering the next generation of computers and technologies. 
    Here’s what you’ll take away:Why Max Planck’s idea shattered physics—and created an entirely new oneWhat the birth of the universe has to do with particle uncertaintyHow particles tunnel through walls (yes, seriously)Why black body radiation melted 19th-century science—and changed everythingWhat light really is, and why it behaves so weirdlyHow Einstein explained the photoelectric effect—and kicked off the tech ageWhy quantum physics and the Law of Attraction might have more in common than you thinkHow time works in quantum theory (hint: not how you expect)Why one particle can be in two places at once—and what that means for your computerWhat quantum computing is, and how it’s already rewriting the rules 
    If you’ve ever wished someone would finally explain quantum physics like a real person would, here it is.Start listening and see just how simple this “impossible” science can be.

    Alone but Not Lonely - Exploring...

    Humans have always been fascinated by the possibility of extraterrestrial life, often wondering if we are alone in the universe. Drawing on nearly fifty years as a leader in planetary exploration, Louis Friedman brings into focus the subject of extraterrestrial life, separating knowledge from conjecture, fact from fiction, to draw scientific and technical conclusions that answer this enduring question. 
     
     
     
    Friedman argues that intelligent life is probably rare in the universe (maybe even uniquely on Earth) but that simple life is likely abundant on millions or billions of planets waiting now to be discovered. He asserts that studying and searching for extraterrestrial life cannot be done by interstellar probes—due to the vastness of space and the comparative brevity of human lifespans—but it can be done remotely by a new technique involving the solar gravity lens that can magnify exoplanets by tens of billions. This technique will allow humankind to explore exoplanets and open up an exciting new field of comparative astrobiology. 
     
     
     
    Wide-ranging in scope, this book discusses the history of searching for extraterrestrial life, the scientific evidence thereof, and finally his own conclusions on what's next.

  • Trolling Ourselves to Death - Democracy in the Age of Social Media (Oxford Studies in Digital Politics) - cover

    Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

    Jason Hannan

    Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
     
     
     
    Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
     
     
     
    Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

    »We are at a turning point in human history. To stop climate breakdown and extinction,environmental movements need to be actively anti-racist and join struggles for social justice.«Carola RacketeIn 2019, Carola Rackete became publicly known for docking the sea rescue vessel »Sea-Watch 3« in Italy and thereby challenging a nationaldecree that contradicted internationalobligations to engage in sea rescue. Due to this act of civil disobedience and her public confrontation of the Italian far right and the structural racism of the EU's Fortress Europe policy, Carola became a powerful symbol for people seeking to take practical action for a world based on justice and equality. Carola has worked in the polar regions since 2011 and holds a degree in natural resources management. Consequently, her book shows how the ecological crises we are facing today are rooted in social and political power structures. The book details moments of the rescue mission but also connects the dots to forced migration and the urgency of our environmental predicament. Overall, it is a call to engage and act to become part of initiatives and movements struggling for social and environmental justice.This version of the book includes a new afterword focused on centring justice and human rights in nature and biodiversity conservation-a topic often overlooked by climate activists in the Global North.The authors will donate the revenue from this book to the association borderline-europe-Menschenrechte ohne Grenzen e.V. in order to launch a new criminalization fund. The money from this fund will be used to support refugees who are criminalized in the EU for fleeingtoEurope.Acknowledgements: This audio book has been made possible by the voluntary contributions of many people, most notably Marysa Abbas who is the voiceover artist of this audioproject, Diane Hielscher who provided her studio "LifeX Lab-wir machen Medien für eine neue Welt" for the recordings and production, Céline Keller who contributed the cover art, Alfio Furnari from Borderline-Europe who managed administration and contracts, the management of liberaudio as well as Anne Weiss who got the projectrolling and connected everyone.
