Fixing America - An Engineer’s...

William M Taggart IV

Have you been wondering about the big issues dominating the news? Is climate change a massive threat or not? What is really going on with immigration? More importantly, how did American politics become so divided and hostile? What if we approached American social, cultural and political problems from a purely rational perspective? What if we focus on functional systems instead of division? Careful analysis of readily available data can help us discover patterns and uncover the real issues. An engineering perspective allows us to focus on what needs to be fixed rather than ideological divisions.
Finally, one of America's top engineers has brought these topics and others together in a thought-provoking book. This book is rooted in history, facts, and logic, and it lays out solutions to America's problems. A book focused to get Americans talking to one another again, so we can rise to the occasion and solve today's problems together.
William Taggart has over thirty years as a professional engineer in industry. He has travelled the world, building some of industry’s biggest projects and solving some of their thorniest problems. Now, he has applied analytical skills developed in industry, coupled with his natural inquisitiveness and thirst for creative solutions, to the problems of modern-day American politics. Seeking answers to questions many of us have been asking, he has focused his keen mind on researching these, and other big issues. He invites everyone to think about what America really needs.

Toxic Mayhem

Vinson Chard

This is Vinson Chard's second book recounting stories about his time working as a Chemical Engineer. He 'spills the beans' on all the shenanigans perpetrated in the world of hazardous waste. The stories are of his hazardous and light-hearted misadventures while on these excursions and the colourful characters he meets along with way, with curious incidents like being shown some of the seedier areas of a Yorkshire city.  
 There are stories of political intrigue at boardroom level, with company directors brawling in a prestigious Cardiff hotel on rugby International Day and Vinson forced to associate with a duplicitous Knight of the Realm. This is an eclectic mix of true stories and characters, all related with anecdotal humour.  
 From the author of LIFE'S RICH MIX.

On Time - Causality and the...

Jan Zaanen

This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
 
 
 
The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.
