Sinossi

In "Building and Flying an Aeroplane," Charles B. Hayward meticulously combines technical expertise with a storytelling flair that captures the adventurous spirit of aviation in the early 20th century. This seminal work serves as both a practical manual and a historical chronicle, reflecting the burgeoning interest in flight during a time when aviation technology was rapidly evolving. Hayward's clear, accessible prose demystifies complex engineering concepts, guiding readers through the intricacies of aircraft design and construction while simultaneously illustrating the thrill of piloting. His careful blending of narrative and instruction places this text within a unique literary context, straddling the realms of both technical writing and popular science literature. Charles B. Hayward was an aviation enthusiast and a skilled engineer whose passion for flight informed his writing. Growing up during the formative years of aeronautical innovation, he was inspired by the pioneers of aviation, such as the Wright brothers. His commitment to promoting aviation through education and practical knowledge is evident in this work, which reflects both his technical proficiency and his desire to encourage others to engage in the exciting domain of aviation. I highly recommend "Building and Flying an Aeroplane" to anyone interested in the history of aviation, as well as aspiring pilots and engineers. This book not only is an invaluable resource for those looking to expand their technical skill set but also serves as an inspiring testament to the human desire to soar. Through Hayward'Äôs vivid descriptions and practical insights, readers are sure to feel both informed and motivated to explore the sky.

    An insider’s view of science reveals why many scientific results cannot be relied upon – and how the system can be reformed.Science is how we understand the world. Yet failures in peer review and mistakes in statistics have rendered a shocking number of scientific studies useless – or, worse, badly misleading. Such errors have distorted our knowledge in fields as wide-ranging as medicine, physics, nutrition, education, genetics, economics, and the search for extraterrestrial life. As Science Fictions makes clear, the current system of research funding and publication not only fails to safeguard us from blunders but actively encourages bad science – with sometimes deadly consequences.Stuart Ritchie’s own work challenging an infamous psychology experiment helped spark what is now widely known as the “replication crisis,” the realization that supposed scientific truths are often just plain wrong. Now, he reveals the very human biases, misunderstandings, and deceptions that undermine the scientific endeavor: from contamination in science labs to the secret vaults of failed studies that nobody gets to see; from outright cheating with fake data to the more common, but still ruinous, temptation to exaggerate mediocre results for a shot at scientific fame.Yet Science Fictions is far from a counsel of despair. Rather, it’s a defense of the scientific method against the pressures and perverse incentives that lead scientists to bend the rules. By illustrating the many ways that scientists go wrong, Ritchie gives us the knowledge we need to spot dubious research and points the way to reforms that could make science trustworthy once again.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books

    An “extraordinary” look at the stubborn problem of human waste disposal: “Among the best nonfiction books of the new millennium.” —The New York Times 
     
    Acclaimed as “valuable and often entertaining” (Los Angeles Times), The Big Necessity defies the taboo on bodily waste—something common to all and as natural as breathing. We prefer not to talk about it, but we should—even those of us who take care of our business in pristine, sanitary conditions. Disease spread by waste kills more people worldwide every year than any other single cause of death. Even in America, nearly two million people have no access to an indoor toilet. Yet the subject remains unmentionable. 
     
    Moving from the underground sewers of Paris, London, and New York (an infrastructure disaster waiting to happen) to an Indian slum where ten toilets are shared by 60,000 people, The Big Necessity breaks the silence, revealing everything that matters about how people do—and don’t—deal with their own waste. With razor-sharp wit and crusading urgency, mixing levity with gravity, Rose George has turned the subject we like to avoid into a cause with the most serious of consequences. 
     
    “One smart book . . . delving deep into the history and implications of a daily act that dare not speak its name.” —Newsweek 
     
    “Makes a passionate argument for putting sanitation at the top of the world’s development agenda.” —Time 
     
    “With irreverence and pungent detail, George breaks the embarrassed silence over the economic, political, social and environmental problems of human waste disposal. Full of fascinating facts . . . an intrepid, erudite and entertaining journey through the public consequences of this most private behavior.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    Whip-poor-will is a nocturnal bird carrying our all its main functions in the dark. This bird is a typical nightjar from North America producing a distinctive repetitive tune capable of inducing a state of trance, aiding or disturbing state of deep sleep or medication.It is this almost psychedelic rhythm and tune that made this bird a topic of numerous legends. It is also frequently used as an auditory symbol of rural America, as in Washington Irving's story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, or as a plot device. For example, William Faulkner's short story, "Barn Burning".This recording offers continuous Whip-poor-will birdsong recorded in natural habitat together with other birds and forest creatures.

    A public health expert warns about the safety of our water supply and “recounts, with crystal clarity, some of history’s epic drinking water disasters” (Booklist, starred review). 
     
    A Library Journal Best Consumer Health Book of the Year 
     
    In this book, Dr. Robert Morris chronicles the fascinating and at times frightening story of our drinking water. His gripping narrative recounts the epidemics that have shaken cities and nations, the scientists who reached into the invisible and emerged with controversial truths that would save millions of lives, and the economic and political forces that opposed these researchers in a ferocious war of ideas. 
     
    In the gritty world of nineteenth-century England, amid the ravages of cholera, Morris introduces John Snow, the physician who proved that the deadly disease could be hidden in a drop of water. Decades later in the deserts of Africa, the story follows Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch as they race to find the cause of cholera and a means to prevent its spread. In the twentieth century, burgeoning cities would subdue cholera and typhoid by bending rivers to their will, building massive filtration plants, and bubbling poisonous gas through their drinking water. However, in the new millennium, the demon of waterborne disease is threatening to reemerge, and a growing body of research has linked the chlorine relied on for water treatment with cancer and stillbirths. 
     
    In The Blue Death, Morris dispels notions of fail-safe water systems and reveals some shocking truths: the millions of miles of leaking water mains, constantly evolving microorganisms, and the looming threat of bioterrorism, which may lead to catastrophe. Across time and around the world, this account offers alarming information about the natural and man-made hazards present in the very water we drink. 
     
    “While casual readers don’t generally pick up public health books expecting to stay up late turning pages, Morris manages a neat trick—he provides an in-depth medical history that at times reads like a mystery.” —San Francisco Chronicle Book Review 
     
    “Engrossing and disquieting.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “Morris approaches water systems like an engineers, disease outbreaks like an epidemiologist, and the people and events behind waterborne disasters like an investigative reporter . . . The effect is riveting.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
