Sinopse

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.

    North America was not empty nor were its inhabitants savages when Europeans arrived in 1492. Quite the opposite, North America was thickly populated by indigenous people who lived in clean cities, had a thriving economy, and transformed the landscape into bountiful productivity. Forgotten Landscapes reveals the incredible extent to which Native Americans manipulated and shaped their surrounding environs through agricultural practices and urban engineering, resulting in one of the most prosperous civilizations of their time.Well before European contact, North American cities and villages were bound together by an intricate trade network. Today, Spiro Mound in rural Oklahoma is a few piles of dirt, not on the road to anywhere. But at the time of the Mississippian civilization, about a thousand years ago, it was one of the largest cities in the world. With the controlled use of fire, Native Americans had transformed thick forests into open woodlands and expanded the ranges of prairies. Through organized hunting, Natives controlled the populations of prey animals such as passenger pigeons, and when Native populations grew large enough, they developed agriculture including irrigated crops, and even orchards. In this fascinating and overdue book, author Stanley A. Rice shows his audience the Pre-Columbian landscape of America that has been largely forgotten.
