Sinopse

Ship Design explores the fascinating evolution of shipbuilding, from rudimentary wooden vessels to today's sophisticated, technologically advanced ships. It highlights how historical precedent, technological innovation, and the demands of maritime environments have shaped vessel design. Understanding buoyancy, stability, and resistance are foundational concepts discussed, alongside pivotal events like the advent of steam power and steel hulls. The book offers a comprehensive overview suitable for naval architects, historians, and anyone interested in maritime history and technology.

 
 The book argues that modern ship design results from blending historical lessons, empirical data, and computational modeling. It emphasizes that understanding past designs is crucial for informed innovation and sustainable maritime practices.

 
 The book begins with fundamental naval architecture concepts, progresses through key historical periods, and culminates in an analysis of contemporary challenges like fuel efficiency and autonomous vessels. It uses historical blueprints, performance data, and computational fluid dynamics to illustrate the impact of design choices.

    In the 1990s, long before “Women in Tech” was a hashtag, Carol forged her technical career in server rooms and offices where she was the only woman. 
    In this memoir, Carol looks back on a 35-year, globe-crossing IT career that took her through the dawn of the internet, the machinations of the commercial sector, a celebrity dot-com, and an eye-opening job as a technical gun-for-hire.  
    In an industry known for both gender and age bias, Carol still has her hands on the tech well into her fifties. In this candid and engaging account, she relates how she’s done it by channeling the outspokenness and do-it-yourself ethos of the grunge era Riot Grrrls. 
    This is the story of how Carol became the original IT Grrrl.

    Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have. But we're not talking about a story as a nice-to-have or an occasional distraction from the real work you do. We’re talking about story as the backbone and the underlying structure, and story as a way of ordering your thoughts and connecting with those around you.
    If you want to make the most of every page on your website, every email to your clients and every conversation on site, this is the guidebook you need. It gives you a simple, flexible structure to tell the stories of your practice, your projects, your process, and your team. And, more than that, it reframes writing not as a chore but as an act of clarity and connection.
    The Storytelling Manual for Architects is a short, practical book with a very human mission – to help you find common ground, convey your worth, and show your clients the difference you can make. It’s a heartfelt manifesto for a better way to write and talk about what you do.
    Juliette Mitchell set up Architypal, a writing consultancy for architects, after many years as an editor at Penguin Books. The Storytelling Manual for Architects is both her step-by-step messaging strategy and her personal act of resistance in the face of AI and things to come.

    ‘Joyous, loving, accessible, practical, and just what the doctor ordered.’ Barbara Iddon, co-author of Blueprints for the Soul: Why we need emotion in architecture

    Louisbourg was no mere isolated stronghold which could be lost or won without affecting the wider issues of oversea dominion. On the contrary, it was a necessary link in the chain of waterside posts which connected France with America by way of the Atlantic, the St Lawrence, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi. But since the chain itself and all its other links, and even the peculiar relation of Louisbourg to the Acadians and the Conquest, have been fully described elsewhere in the Chronicles of Canada, the present volume only tries to tell the purely individual tale. (Summary from Book preface)
