Beschreibung

"Vertical Ports" explores a groundbreaking solution to the escalating challenges in global shipping: stacked container ports. As global trade expands and land becomes scarce, the book examines how vertical port designs can maximize land usage and streamline container handling, offering a viable alternative to traditional horizontal ports. Notably, vertical ports could significantly alleviate pressure on conventional ports facing growing cargo volumes and environmental concerns.

 
The book delves into the engineering, technology, and business management aspects of vertical ports. It presents insights into automated stacking cranes, advanced logistics software, and the structural engineering considerations necessary for constructing tall, high-density container storage facilities. By analyzing operational efficiency, cost-benefit ratios, and supply chain optimization, the book demonstrates the potential for enhanced port efficiency and sustainability.

 
Beginning with an overview of the modern shipping industry, the book progresses to explore the technological innovations needed for vertical port construction, followed by an analysis of the business and management implications, and concluding with an examination of the environmental and social impacts. This approach offers a holistic understanding of the vertical port ecosystem, making it a valuable resource for port authorities, logistics managers, and urban planners.

Animal Crossing

Kelsey Lewin

Before the world of Animal Crossing became a pandemic lifeline for millions, the "social sim" communication game Dо̄butsu no Mori, or "Animal Forest," debuted in 2001 on Nintendo 64 in Japan, then once again in 2002 on GameCube to critical and commercial success all over the world. 
 
 
  
An open-ended casual game ahead of its time, Animal Crossing set the stage for the series's many incarnations to come with its focus on building community and friendship, its in-game currency of Bells, and its village of Animalese-speaking friends like Tom Nook, K. K. Slider, and the mean Mr. Resetti. You could visit the villages of your friends and give them gifts—all without being connected to the internet. 
 
 
  
Video game preservationist and historian Kelsey Lewin tells the story of how a mundane-sounding game full of bug-catching, letter-writing, and furniture-collecting became one of Nintendo's best-loved franchises, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons eclipsing Super Mario Bros. for all-time sales in Japan, unlocking gaming's massive potential to tap into our desire to plant trees, find friends, and make the world a better place.

Preventing Nuclear Annihilation...

Ronald Reagan

On March 23, 1983, President Ronald Reagan gave an address to the nation from the Oval Office challenging “the scientific community … to turn their great talents … to the cause of mankind and world peace, [and] to give us the means of rendering … nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.” Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative to protect America from nuclear annihilation was derided by critics as an unworkable Star Wars program, and the Clinton Administration ended the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1993. There is no effective system in place today to protect the American population from incoming missiles from an expanding list of countries with nuclear capabilities. 
On April 13, 2024, Iran launched, according to Wikipedia, “around 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles toward Israel”. Israel and a coalition of partners, again according to Wikipedia, “destroyed 99 percent of the incoming weapons, most before they reached Israeli airspace.” Damage from the attack was minor. While Israel is protected by an Iron Dome, the United States has no such protection. 
This audiobook includes 4 speeches by President Reagan: His address introducing the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983, his address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France in 1985, his address on national security in 1986, and his address on the Soviet-U.S. Summit in 1987.

Axiology - The Study of Values...

Mike Crawford

Axiology, the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of values, plays a crucial role in understanding human beliefs, decisions, and behaviors. This chapter introduces the concept of axiology, emphasizing its importance in ethics and how it influences not just personal conduct but also societal norms and expectations. At its core, axiology is concerned with two primary components: value theory and the study of ethics. These two areas work in tandem, guiding individuals in understanding what is good, right, or desirable, and shaping their actions accordingly.
The term "axiology" comes from the Greek words "axios," meaning value, and "logos," meaning study or discourse. Axiology thus represents the study of values in the most comprehensive sense, ranging from personal preferences to the collective ethical standards that govern entire societies. The study of values is fundamental to various fields such as ethics, psychology, politics, and education, providing a framework for determining what is valuable in different contexts. Values themselves can take many forms, including moral values, aesthetic values, social values, and economic values, each influencing behavior in unique ways.
Understanding values is essential because they serve as the foundation upon which we build our beliefs, attitudes, and actions. From an individual perspective, values guide the decisions we make daily—whether in choosing a career, deciding what is right or wrong, or determining what we prioritize in life.

Planting Our World

Stefano Mancuso

It all begins and ends with plants. From the chance to live on this planet to the pleasure of listening to the sound of a violin—every story begins with a plant. 
 
 
 
We animals account for a paltry 0.3% of the planet's biomass while plants add up to 85%. It is obvious that every story on this planet has a plant as its protagonist. Our world is a green world; Earth is the planet of plants. And when, with just a little training, we are able to look at the world without seeing it solely as humanity's playground, we cannot help but notice the ubiquity of plants. They are everywhere and their stories are inevitably wound up with ours. Not to see this plan, or even worse, to ignore its existence, is one of the most serious threats to the survival of our species. 
 
 
 
Neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso is back with a book to tell us about the greenprint of our world. He does it through unforgettable stories starring plants; stories combining an inimitable narrative style and remarkable scientific rigor. From the story of the red spruce that gave Stradivarius the wood for his fourteen violins, to the Kauri tree stump, kept alive for decades by the interconnected root system of nearby trees. From the story of the slipperiness of the banana skin to the plant that solved the "crime of the century," the Lindbergh kidnapping, by way of wooden ladder rungs.
