Marshall McLuhan, a pioneering media theorist, explored how media shape perception, society, and culture. His concepts, like the medium is the message and the global village, emphasize media as extensions of human senses that profoundly influence communication and social structures. He analyzed transitions from oral to print culture and the impact of electronic media on thought and interaction. This volume seeks global contributions applying McLuhans theories to AI, digital media, knowledge, creativity, and body-mind relations in todays networked world.In this volume, edited by Lars C. Grabbe, Andrew McLuhan and Tobias Held, scholars from diverse fieldsmedia theory, philosophy, sociology, art, game studies, and moreare examining McLuhans enduring relevance in analyzing contemporary technological and cultural transformations.

Nobel laureate, Oscar winner and author of over fifty plays, Bernard Shaw is perhaps as renowned for his political views as for his awe-inspiring artistic output. This new selection of his writings on war brings once more to the forefront the polemical writings of one of the most outspoken commentators of the twentieth century.As a co-founder of the Fabian Society, an equal rights campaigner and an ardent socialist, Shaw was never known to shy away from controversy: he was accused of treason on the strength of his 1914 publication Common Sense About the War, which affronted patriots and the government alike. His vehemently anti-war stance was almost prophetic in its progressive nature, and many of his impassioned assertions now have a ring of remarkable prescience.

Sustainability is a decisive factor in modern B2B sales. Customers no longer buy sustainability as an idea; they buy outcomes, credibility, and measurable value. Beyond Green: Selling Sustainability is a practical guide for sales professionals, leaders, and sustainability teams who must adapt to this shift.The book explains how ESG requirements, sustainability regulation, and rising stakeholder expectations reshape the buying journey and expand the decision-making unit. It shows how sales must engage earlier, higher, and wider, and how sustainability must be translated into business value to influence decisions.Covering outcome-based selling, customer personas, storytelling, pitch development, data-driven sales, and objection handling, the book equips readers to sell sustainability with confidence and clarity. A strong focus is placed on using credible data, and aligning sustainability initiatives with customer priorities such as cost, risk, compliance, and long-term competitiveness.Written for professionals working with sales, ESG, procurement, marketing, and leadership, Beyond Green: Selling Sustainability bridges sustainability strategy with commercial execution.

Gravity dictates that liquids must be held in a container. But what if a chemist needs to synthesize a hyper-pure, highly reactive compound that will instantly dissolve or become contaminated if it touches the walls of a glass beaker? The sci-fi solution utilized by modern material science is Acoustic Levitation.This textbook deconstructs the incredible physics of suspending matter with pure noise. By aiming two high-frequency ultrasonic speakers (transducers) directly at each other, physicists create a "standing wave." The soundwaves crash into each other and cancel out in specific, stationary locations, creating microscopic, invisible shelves of acoustic pressure.We explore the delicate fluid dynamics involved when a scientist places a drop of liquid exactly onto one of these pressure nodes. The sound is so intense that the liquid defies gravity, hovering perfectly in mid-air. This "containerless processing" allows researchers to mix volatile chemicals, study blood droplets, and forge flawless pharmaceuticals without any physical interference.Harness the physical weight of sound. A brilliant look into the ultrasonic technology that turns deafening noise into invisible, hovering laboratory equipment.

You cannot put a virus or a complex protein under a standard microscope and look at it. The wavelength of visible light is simply too large to resolve individual atoms. To see the physical shape of the biological molecules that cause disease, the global pharmaceutical industry relies on the extreme, high-energy physics of X-Ray Crystallography.This technical reference details the brutal physics required to image the invisible. Biochemists must first force organic, squishy proteins to form perfect, solid geometric crystalsan agonizing process that can take years. Once crystallized, scientists blast the sample with intense X-ray beams. As the X-rays hit the densely packed atoms, they diffract, scattering onto a detector plate in a complex, seemingly chaotic pattern of dots.We analyze the staggering supercomputing power and Fourier transform mathematics required to read these scattered dot patterns and reverse-engineer them into a flawless, 3D atomic map. This is the exact technology used to discover the structure of DNA and design targeted modern cancer drugs.See the invisible architecture of disease. Learn how physicists turn biological tissue into glass and shoot it with radiation to map the precise coordinates of every single atom.

O Professor Marcelo Moreira Antunes, pesquisador e praticante de artes marciais, dedicou 32 anos de estudos para contar uma história que poucos conhecem: a trajetória do Shuaijiao, da China para o Brasil. Durante suas viagens a China, mergulhou nas raizes da cultura do Shuaijiao de Beijing, rastreando a linhagem que remonta a Dinastia Qing (16441911). Cada mestre, cada tecnica, cada filosofia, tudo foi registrado, traduzido e conectado a forma como o Shuaijiao floresceu em solo brasileiro. O resultado dessa jornada e o presente livro, obra inedita que revela a genealogia completa da Escola Shuaijiao Brasil, incluindo fotos raras e biografia dos mestres e professores que transmitiram esse legado. Apresenta ainda os conteudos tecnicos e teoricos do curriculo tradicional, explicando fundamentos, principios de treinamento e evoluço da modalidade. Em adicional, inclui um capitulo dedicado ao ensino inclusivo, mostrando como o Shuaijiao pode ser praticado por pessoas com deficiencia, preservando o espirito e a essencia dessa arte marcial. Alem disso tudo, tem um glossario com termos importante e a bibliografia consultada para a realizaço da pesquisa e escrita da obra. Este livro e mais do que uma publicaço, e um registro historico, uma ponte entre culturas e geraçes.

The young marmots Zappel and Schlafi are about to start school. Zappel, who is very adventurous and doesnt like to sit still, is excited to learn lots of new things. For the dreamy Schlafi, its rather difficult to leave his burrow. He much prefers sleeping to going on adventures. Together, however, they not only master their first day of school, but also discover the world together.The story is written in dialogue form and can be read aloud or quietly, in pairs or alone.

Intuition suggests that a perfectly smooth sphere will travel through the air faster and further than a rough, bumpy one. In the strict laws of fluid dynamics, however, intuition is completely wrong. If you hit a perfectly smooth golf ball, it will drop out of the sky after 100 yards, suffocated by its own aerodynamic drag.This fascinating exploration breaks down the physics of the golf ball dimple. When a smooth ball flies, the air separates from the surface very early, leaving a massive, low-pressure "drag wake" behind the ball that violently pulls it backward. The dimples solve this by intentionally creating a thin layer of chaotic, turbulent air right at the surface (the boundary layer). This turbulence forces the air to stick to the ball much longer, drastically shrinking the drag wake and allowing the ball to slice through the atmosphere and fly twice as far.We trace the history from smooth leather balls to the modern, hyper-engineered urethane spheres with exactly 336 mathematically arranged dimples designed to optimize the Magnus effect for backspin.Master the invisible friction of the sky. Understand how intentionally adding microscopic turbulence is the absolute key to athletic aerodynamic perfection.

When a nuclear reactor is refueled, the old uranium rods are no longer efficient enough to generate commercial power, but they are still intensely radioactive and generating massive amounts of "decay heat." You cannot simply throw them in a warehouse. They must be aggressively and continuously cooled for decades. The solution is the Spent Nuclear Fuel Pool.This highly technical engineering manual examines the uncompromising thermodynamics of these forty-foot-deep concrete basins. The water serves two critical purposes: it constantly absorbs the staggering heat of the decaying isotopes, and it acts as an impenetrable biological shield against lethal radiation, stopping the deadly particles just a few feet below the surface. We explore the physics behind the haunting blue glow of the poolsCherenkov radiation, caused by particles traveling through the water faster than the speed of light.The narrative dissects the catastrophic failure scenarios, detailing why the cooling pumps must never stop. If the water ever boils away and exposes the zirconium cladding of the rods to the air, they will spontaneously ignite, releasing a devastating radioactive plume.Understand the most dangerous swimming pools on Earth. Discover the relentless thermodynamic infrastructure required to keep humanity safe from its own atomic waste.
