Sinossi

Fast Slow explores the captivating science of motion, revealing the physics behind the diverse speeds of animals, vehicles, and humans. It examines how everything moves, from the leisurely pace of a snail to the breakneck velocity of a jet plane. Interestingly, the book highlights how aerodynamic design significantly impacts vehicle performance, while evolutionary adaptations allow animals to achieve remarkable feats of locomotion.

 
The book progresses from fundamental concepts like velocity and acceleration to more complex topics such as animal locomotion, vehicle engineering, and human movement. It demonstrates how factors like mass, friction, and energy expenditure govern speed. Readers will discover how understanding these principles can lead to innovations in transportation and improvements in athletic performance.

 
Fast Slow uniquely integrates scientific principles with real-world examples, making complex ideas accessible to a broad audience interested in science and physics. By bridging historical context with current research, the book provides a valuable framework for appreciating the mechanics of motion and its applications across various disciplines.

    The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
     
     
     
    The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
     
     
     
    This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.

    In addition to the wheelbarrow, the seismograph, the waterwheel, deep drilling, suspension bridges, and ship rudders, among countless other life-changing contraptions, the Chinese developed what were later dubbed the “Four Great Inventions of China.” Two of those were gunpowder and printing, which both spread through South Asia and the Middle East before making it to Europe.  
    For a time, gunpowder was a mere curiosity, but its destructive power and military potential would be realized quickly. The first record of a cannon in Europe comes from a manuscript written in 1326, which has an illustration showing an armored man with what looks like a slow match lighting a vase-shaped object. This crude cannon was called a pot de fer in French and vasi in Italian. While medieval engineers developed new types of cannons and explosives capable of destroying walls and castles, others were making the first handguns possible. European sources first mentioned the widespread use of handgonnes, as they were often called, in the late 14th century, precisely the time when gunpowder became cheaper.  
    	The history of printing was for ancient Asia an advancement in culture and communication, but for Europe in the 15th century, it was much more, plunging the continent into a new paradigm and aligning it for the modern world. Its importance is often overlooked, but the timeliness of the printing machine was equivalent to the invention of alphabets in antiquity and ranks up there with the digital revolution and the introduction of the internet. Put simply, it made the Renaissance possible and led to the modernization of Europe. Based on earlier Asian principles, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type printing press propelled an industry that led to the education of the West and ultimately removed the tight grip of the Vatican from daily European life.

    Your buddy is planning a trip to England; his salary is likewise in rubles, and the national currency in England is the pound sterling. 
      
    What will your pal do?  
      
    Of course, he'll go to a currency exchange to convert his hard-earned rubles into British pounds. 
      
    Your mum planned to go to Norway to see a friend. What is the current Norwegian currency? The Norwegian Krone Mom's pension is in Russian rubles...  
    Mom's behavior is predictable: she will travel to an exchange office to exchange her hard-earned rubles for Norwegian krone.  
    However, there was no crown at this exchange office since they did not deliver for some reason.  
    Then your mother was offered to purchase American cash - dollars rather than Norwegian kroner. Mom is perplexed: "I have bucks, but I don't want to travel to America for the promenade, but to my buddy in Norway!" And they explain to her: It's nothing - you'll exchange your dollars for Norwegian krone at the exchange office in Norway and enjoy life much more... 
      
    And, although your uncle did not travel anywhere he did not plan to, he has additional money.  
    So, my uncle predicted that the Swiss franc would rise against the ruble, so he went to the exchange office and simply exchanged Swiss francs for rubles, hoping that the rate would rise and his ruble savings would rise as well. Uncle, in other words, opted to speculate on the currency differential.
