Veni, Vedi, Exitus
Veni, Vidi, Exitvs (Latin: I came, I saw, I left) A gripping historical saga, spanning millennia. Two men connected by kinship, worlds apart, united inside the realm of their dreams. King Connor of the Eblanani must confront the unstoppable forces that threaten his kingdom in Hibernia, armed with nothing but visions of the future that give him knowledge and guidance of battles that have yet to unfold. Can he save his people from the wrath of the Roman Empire, the famous 9th Legion under General Agricola? Octavia, the beautiful young daughter of a powerful Roman senator, runs away from society’s rules and finds herself under the protection of Digdi, the Healer. Once her path crosses Connorâ...
Contested City
2020 Brendan Gill Prize finalist For forty years, as New York’s Lower East Side went from disinvested to gentrified, residents lived with a wound at the heart of the neighborhood, a wasteland of vacant lots known as the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (SPURA). Most of the buildings on the fourteen-square-block area were condemned in 1967, displacing thousands of low-income people of color with the promise that they would soon return to new housing—housing that never came. Over decades, efforts to keep out affordable housing sparked deep-rooted enmity and stalled development, making SPURA a dramatic study of failed urban renewal, as well as a microcosm epitomizing the greatest challenges f...
Solar Selective Absorbers
Solar Selective Absorbers: Materials, Coatings, and Applications covers different harnessing technologies for solar energy, electromagnetic radiation including design principles, and different types of spectrally selective coatings. The book emphasizes experimental methods for synthesizing these coating structures and characterization techniques to quantify the absorber characteristics, suitable for solar thermal applications. It also provides a compact review of the literature on solar (spectrally) selective absorber materials and coatings. Summarizes the materials, deposition and characterization techniques, and applications of solar selective absorbers Introduces solar selective absorber ...
Autonomous Horizons
Dr. Greg Zacharias, former Chief Scientist of the United States Air Force (2015-18), explores next steps in autonomous systems (AS) development, fielding, and training. Rapid advances in AS development and artificial intelligence (AI) research will change how we think about machines, whether they are individual vehicle platforms or networked enterprises. The payoff will be considerable, affording the US military significant protection for aviators, greater effectiveness in employment, and unlimited opportunities for novel and disruptive concepts of operations. Autonomous Horizons: The Way Forward identifies issues and makes recommendations for the Air Force to take full advantage of this transformational technology.
Fundamentals of Building Energy Dynamics
Fundamentals of Building Energy Dynamics assesses how and why buildings use energy, and how energy use and peak demand can be reduced. It provides a basis for integrating energy efficiency and solar approaches in ways that will allow building owners and designers to balance the need to minimize initial costs, operating costs, and life-cycle costs with need to maintain reliable building operations and enhance environmental quality both inside and outside the building. Chapters trace the development of building energy systems and analyze the demand side of solar applications as a means for determining what portion of a building's energy requirements can potentially be met by solar energy. Foll...
