Sinossi

Wind-Driven Ventilation explores how harnessing natural airflow can create sustainable indoor environments, offering an alternative to traditional mechanical systems. It emphasizes the physics of wind behavior around buildings and its application to ventilation strategies, crucial for reducing energy consumption and improving air quality. For instance, strategic window placement, building orientation, and understanding local climate conditions are vital for optimizing natural ventilation. The book uniquely combines theoretical principles with real-world applications, using climate studies, wind tunnel experiments, and case studies. It delves into topics like the stack effect, cross-ventilation, and single-sided ventilation, explaining each's strengths and weaknesses. By integrating climatology, building science, and urban planning, it underscores the importance of wind-driven ventilation in creating sustainable buildings. The book progresses by first introducing the fundamentals of wind behavior and then examining the design of wind-driven ventilation systems. It concludes by discussing the challenges and opportunities, including strategies for diverse climates. This approach provides designers, engineers, and policymakers with the tools to implement effective natural ventilation, contributing to climate change mitigation and resilient communities.

    Is there an answer to the most profound question mankind has been asking itself for as long as there has been consciousness: is there life after death? 
     
    We discover that a technique exists with which we can all travel and journey to "other realities" that exist within us. Through the science of quantum physics, Gardiner shows that ancient man was far more advanced than we previously believed. The author actually undergoes his own experiments to prove the point. 
     
    Is there a universal frequency so perfect that it allows the mind to travel into other realms? Did our ancestors know of this special harmony? How does all this relate to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement? Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm? Are there ancient methods of healing that would benefit mankind? 
     
    In an all-encompassing work, the author uses the science of the day in conjunction with the most ancient of teachings, bringing them into current-day reality. Based on the best-selling book of the same name. 
     
    Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.

    “I felt honoured to be involved in the production/proof reading of Simon’s 4th book, Parkinson’s - Take a Walk With Me. The book is written with humour on a subject which could very easily be melancholy, and whilst not avoiding the truth about this degenerative neurological condition, Simon takes you on a journey with earnest compassion. A great read for everyone, especially for anyone remotely connected to Parkinson’s Disease, this is an uplifting, supportive and reaffirming read; life is still to be enjoyed no matter what the adversity.” - Sharon Timms

    The small matter of size does matterStudies have found that 46% of men are unhappy with their penis size and this has created a plethora of men who are anxious or underconfident about their manhood. Most have no idea what average even is. Straight, gay, large, small, young, old, rich or poor – it’s a bigger man’s world, and now there’s a safe, effective, and reversable option for expansion that might put paid to the proverbial pissing contests for evermore. It’s men’s turn to use cosmetic medicine to enhance what Mother Nature gave them, and they want their share of filler.Dr Ingrid Tall tells it like it is, and demystifies who gets enlargements, why, and what it really is all about. Men who are curious, dissatisfied with their own status quo, or generally feeling some risqué in their frisque – it’s time to discover the options open to them for penis filler – the nonsurgical member extender for the 21st-century man.

    The Enigma cipher was supposed to be the German's impenetrable defence for its military communications against prying eyes during World War II. All manner of secrets were entrusted to it. When the Allies finally managed to crack the code, it heralded a turning point in the war. 
     
    This is the fascinating story of how the code was created, adopted by the Nazis, and finally broken. Dermot Turing, the nephew of the great codebreaker Alan Turing, explores the twists and turns of German encryption efforts from the end of World War I through to Hitler's demise and the great lengths to which the Allies went to break it. 
     
    The Enigma Story reveals the efforts of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the machines called 'bombes' specially designed to break it, and the vast resources devoted in America to decrypting German messages. From the cloak-and-dagger heroics of men like Hans-Thilo Schmidt and Gustave Bertrand to the brilliant mathematical discoveries of men like Henryk Zygalski and Dilly Knox to the fraught decision-making of Allied High Command, the battle for the code was at the heart of the Allied victory in World War II. 
     
    This extraordinary tale of intrigue, ingenuity and courage brings to life the complete story of the Enigma in a lively and entertaining narrative.

    "Progress is not just electronics and robots; it’s also adaptation and correction of social structures in light of these technological advances," Shvalb asserts, warning that "the old democracy won't survive if we don’t adjust it to the new era." 
    After reviewing the social phenomena leading societies to dangerous places, he points out, "History teaches us that civilizations tend to fade, and when they do, it can happen very suddenly." He then explores the influence of social networks on public discourse, noting that "fake news spreads six times faster than truthful news." As a scientist in the field of hard sciences, he examines the dangers of advancing technology, particularly the role of AI in societal unrest. Shvalb questions, "Can technological mega-giants know us intimately enough to control our choices?" 
    Life as we knew it no longer exists. The benefits technology has given us come with a heavy price. In a world where social interactions are shaped by powerful platforms guiding the way we think, behave, buy, and choose, there is a real risk to our societies that we must consider. The last part of the book is dedicated to practical solutions and suggestions. Yet, despite its serious themes, "Our Western Spring: Where is Political Divide Leading Us?" is engaging and fun to read. If you're curious about who suffered from scrotal ascites, what is considered the worst film of all time, or why China's government hates Winnie-the-Pooh, this book is for you. This blend of intriguing trivia and insightful analysis makes the book both thought-provoking and enjoyable, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of modern society.
