eBooks de Ingeniería naval

Hemos complicado excesivamente el estudio del pasado dando mayor importancia a opiniones e intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, relegando los hechos históricos a un segundo plano y subordinandolos a los intereses del sistema que pretende educarnos. Es hora de simplificar y respetar a nuestros antepasados esforzandonos por conocer lo que realmente sucedio en el pasado, no solo lo que el sistema quiere informarnos. Despues de muchos años estudiando historia, he llegado a la conclusion de que la mejor manera de conocer el pasado es a traves de una cronologia imparcial y objetiva que coloque cada acontecimiento en su lugar exacto en el tiempo y revele la historia sin manipulaciones ni medias verdades. Esta cronologia es la obra de referencia mas completa, transcurre año tras año, en la medida de lo posible, desde la prehistoria hasta el presente. Para aquellos que prefieran un estudio mas detallado, he creado una segunda cronologia, que abarca dia a dia desde 1789 hasta 1946, dividida en cuatro colecciones.

Los ensayos que componen este libro proponen una reflexión en clave humanista sobre una variedad de temas relacionados con el mar y la ingeniería marítima. Alejado de una descripción de los aspectos mas tecnicos de esta disciplina y de sus obras, es una invitacion a explorar desde multiples dimensiones (historica, geografica, sociocultural, politica, economica y, por supuesto, ecologica) la relacion del ser humano con el mar y la compleja interaccion entre entornos construidos y naturales. ¿Cual ha sido la evolucion de la navegacion desde sus origenes hasta la actualidad? ¿Como explicar la tradicional hegemonia de los paises nordicos sobre los mediterraneos, o el dominio actual de los puertos asiaticos sobre los occidentales en el comercio y transporte maritimos mundiales? ¿Que modelos se han seguido en la construccion y funcionamiento de puertos, y cual es su relacion con las ciudades? ¿Es posible conjugar de una manera sostenible el valor economico de la costa, cada vez mas urbanizada y sobreexplotada, y expuesta a un deterioro creciente, con la integracion y preservacion de sus paisajes y ecosistemas? ¿Que efectos esta teniendo el cambio climatico en los oceanos? ¿Cabe el riesgo de que se produzca un tsunami en nuestro litoral? ¿Como ha modificado la costa la erupcion del Cumbre Vieja, en la isla de La Palma? Preguntas todas ellas que Vicente Negro transforma en posturas, de afirmacion o rechazo, sobre distintos acontecimientos y tendencias. Vicente Negro Valdecantos es catedratico en la Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. Ha desarrollado una amplia actividad docente, investigadora y divulgativa en ingenieria maritima, incluyendo sus relaciones con el medioambiente y el clima.

Este libro ofrece las bases de un modelo de gestión proactiva de la seguridad marítima fundamentado en el estudio del riesgo, desde el análisis, la evaluación y la gestión. La seguridad siempre es una opcion de riesgo.Desde esta perspectiva, se aborda la seguridad maritima de una manera global: las normativas, el proyecto del buque y el diseño, el control preventivo, la gestion operacional del buque, el factor humano, la proteccion del buque y las instalaciones portuarias, las crisis y emergencias maritimas, la contaminacion marina y, por ultimo, la investigacion.El autor propone una teoria general del riesgo en la seguridad maritima, subrayando que esta responde a una actitud, es el resultado de una voluntad decidida y siempre supone la mejor alternativa.Esta es una obra de referencia para cuantos se relacionan con la seguridad maritima desde cualquier actividad profesional, en organizaciones privadas o publicas, asi como para quienes desean formarse en esta materia.

For centuries it was far more efficient to move goods by water than by road. The end of the 18th century saw 2,000 miles of canal built in Britain: the Canal Age had begun.Constructing the canals consisted of a great deal of hard work and manual labour, headlines by individual names but mostly done by tens of thousands of men across Britain called navvies. Initially much like carting on roads, boating on canals grew as canal systems expanded across the country, but still required long hours, hard work and specific skills.This detailed and informative guide tells the story of the boats and their workers. From the professional leggers who walked boats through tunnels to lock keepers to canal children running ahead of the boats, original photographs and artefacts such as tug tickets and timetables show what life was like on the canal.A classic Pitkin guide to immerse readers in the world of canals in Britain, including a list of museums and heritage centres to provide further insight into the history of the canal network.

Titanic represents a microcosm of the world in 1912. It was a mans world in many respects, across law, land ownership, voting rights, family structures and religious hierarchies. The stories we know about those involved that fateful night are as varied as the people aboard the ship, but many of them revolve around the roles and actions of the men. This new book from Melinda Ratchford delves into the world as it was for women in 1912, and presents a selection of womens stories, including a variety of women who travelled aboard Titanic, from rich to poor, and well-known to largely forgotten, and also stories of some women who didnt travel but whose lives were inextricably linked to the tragedy and changed forever. This collection of stories presents the lives of these women before, during and after the tragedy that irrevocably changed their world, and ours.

Steven Schwankert thought there were no new Titanic stories to be told then he found the Six.When Titanic sank on a cold night in 1912, less than half of those aboard survived. Among these survivors were six Chinese men. Unlike their Western counterparts, upon reaching solid ground in New York these men were almost immediately expelled from the country and, to some extent, the history books.Now at last their stories can be told.The result of meticulous research, dogged investigation and personal interviews, The Six is an epic journey of research that crosses continents to reveal the tales of these six forgotten survivors. Their names were Ah Lam, Chang Chip, Cheong Foo, Fang Lang (or Fong Wing Sun), Lee Bing and Ling Hee.Were they heroes? Were they cowards? Or were they just lucky?

For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if its a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably wont experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBooks functionality has been improved significantly.

At 11.40 p.m. on 14 April 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg. She sank less than three hours later, taking around 1,500 people down with her. Devastated survivors provided conflicting information about her final hours did she slip gracefully below the waves in one piece, or did she violently break apart?The answer would not be confirmed for seventy-three years.Breaking Titanic is the first comprehensive study of the break-up of Titanics hull. Using eyewitness accounts, underwater archaeology reports and data from computer simulations, Eugene Nesmeyanov presents a critical analysis of the most significant theories and models of the break-up, drawing his own conclusions based on the available body of evidence.

Tyrell and Julia booked to travel on the Titanic with their two sons to introduce them to their American grandfather, but the children were too ill to travel. Julia persisted in going without them. The fatal and tragic decision not only led to the unnecessary loss of her husband, it was to haunt her for the next fifty years. Why was she so determined to go? In a letter written to her sons, as her death approached, she claimed the purpose of the visit was to gain her wealthy fathers support for his son-in-laws ambition to stand as a Member of Parliament. Yet Tyrell had shown no enthusiasm for making the journey, as Julia had already made the trip alone, the previous year quite safely. From the Carpathia Julia cabled her father, Henry Siegel, to have clothes from his department stores ready for the Titanics survivors. In 1992 and 2002 her son and grandson learnt from chance encounters with New Yorkers of Julias fathers shocking fall from grace, the grandfather who owned a famous department store with a soda fountain meeting place. Now can be revealed the true reason for her mission.
