Spring Design and Manufacture for Home Machinists

Tubal Cain

Sinossi

This book explains the properties for each type of spring, plus essential materials and methods. Few mechanical devices are entirely devoid of springs of one sort or another, but satisfactory operation rests on details such as spring strength and degree of movement. Yet information on calculating and making springs is not easily available. Designing springs can be difficult due to the number of variables and the complexity of the formula. The book also introduces the designer to charts and nomograms, which greatly simplify the process. Topics include tension and compression spring principles, compression and spring design, examples for winding coil springs, how to design, make, and coil a leaf spring, torsion spring, and I.C. engine valve springs.

Cosmic Construction -...

John Harpoon

The concept of interstellar megaprojects has long captured the imagination of visionaries and scientists alike. Initially, these ideas resided in the realm of science fiction, where vast space-faring civilizations would design and build monumental structures to harness the power of stars or travel across galaxies. As our understanding of space and technology has advanced, these once-fantastical ideas are slowly becoming more tangible. The vision behind cosmic construction is rooted in the ambition to secure humanity’s future by expanding our reach beyond Earth. By tapping into the immense resources of outer space and mastering the ability to construct in environments beyond our planet, we could ensure the longevity of civilization, address resource shortages, and even explore the potential for life beyond our solar system.
To fully appreciate the significance of cosmic construction, it’s essential to understand its historical context. From the early dreams of space exploration in the 20th century to the pioneering missions that landed humans on the Moon and sent robotic probes to distant planets, each milestone has contributed to the growing belief that humanity can and should venture beyond Earth. In parallel, speculative ideas like the construction of space elevators, O'Neill cylinders, and Dyson spheres began to emerge, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in space development. These ideas, once considered purely theoretical, now inspire ongoing research and technological development aimed at making such megastructures a reality.

We are what we listen to - The...

Dr. Patricia Caicedo M.D.

In this groundbreaking union of art and science, soprano, musicologist, and physician Patricia Caicedo explores the connection between music-its performance, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it-and health.Drawing on the latest research and musical examples, Caicedo reveals:- How the brain works when you listen to and make music.- The relationship between rhythm, movement, and health.- The relationship between pleasure, emotion, and music.- How music has been a crucial element of the human experience since the beginning of the species and how it is fundamental for maintaining communities.- The importance of music in pain and death.- How music increases your creativity and produces happiness and a sense of purpose in life.We are what we listen to: the impact of music on individual health will attract readers of Oliver Sacks and David Byrne, as it is an unprecedented, transdisciplinary investigation that contextualizes the music and its effects on historical, scientific, and social levels. It is an essential book for music lovers and everybody seeking to improve their mental and physical health. 
"This thoroughly researched written book results from a lifetime of careful study and wide experience. It contains revelations on virtually every page concerning the therapeutic benefits of music." Dr. Walter Clark, Professor of Musicology, University of California Riverside. 
"I appreciate this book because it is written in a way that activates the reader's senses in a way that not only informs but efficiently urges us to participate creatively, letting the music do its magic to us." Alfons Karabuda, President International Music Council.

Hot Spot - A Doctor's Diary From...

Dr. Alex Jahangir, Katie...

When Nashville identified its first case of coronavirus in March 2020, the city was between Public Health Department directors and as unprepared as the rest of the world for what was to come. Dr. Alex Jahangir, a trauma surgeon acting at that time as chair of the Metro Nashville Board of Health, unexpectedly found himself head of the city's COVID-19 Task Force and responsible for leading it through uncharted waters. 
 
 
 
What followed was a year of unprecedented challenge and scrutiny. Jahangir, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age six, grew up in Nashville. He thought he knew the city well. But the pandemic laid bare ethnic, racial, and cultural tensions that daily threatened to derail what should have been a collective effort to keep residents healthy and safe. 
 
 
 
Hot Spot is Jahangir's narrative of the first year of COVID, derived from his op notes (the journal-like entries surgeons often keep following operations) and expanded to include his personal reflections and a glimpse into the inner sanctums of city and state governance in crisis.

Side Effects - How Left-Brain...

Ph.D. Lorin J. Elias

Understanding how right-brain and left-brain differences influence our habits, thoughts, and actions. 
 
 
 
Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics? 
 
 
 
Side Effects delves into how lateral biases in our brains influence our everyday behavior, and how being aware of these biases can be to our advantage.
