Collected Works of Robert T. Jones - NASA Report No. TM X-3334
USA: NASA. Paperback. 1025 pages. "Includes papers on a variety of topics especially aeronautics. Early work of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics on aircraft stability and control appears in the first section and is followed by original contributions in airfoil theory including theories of sweptback and slender airfoils. Several papers are devoted to the theory of minimum drag and to the theory of the oblique wing. Papers on geometrical optics appear next. Perhaps the most significant of these is the design of a fast F/.66 monochromatic lens based on an inversion of the Schmidt arrangement. Several papers based on work of Avco-Everett Research Laboratory on cardiac assist devices are included and show elementary applications of fluid dynamics to the design of blood pumps and in particular the intra-aortic baloon pump. The last section presents some simple heuristic techniques in relatistic kinematics - based on conformal coordinates in two dimensions. Here the application to space-like motions provide an interesting duality with einsteinian kinematics." - from Abstract. Above-average but not excessive wear. Binding intact. Unmarked.

Costruire con le balle di paglia. Manuale pratico per la progettazione e la costruzione. Ediz. illustrata
ill., br. La balla di paglia, come materiale di costruzione, garantisce una notevole riduzione dei costi e dei consumi energetici, grazie alle eccellenti caratteristiche di isolamento termico. I primi edifici risalgono alla fine dell'Ottocento e si devono ai coloni inglesi delle pianure del Nebraska, i quali in mancanza di pietre e di legname utilizzarono con successo balle di paglia per costruire le loro case. Tale tecnica prosperò fino agli anni quaranta quando la diffusione del cemento ne causò il graduale declino. Attualmente, in tutto il mondo, vengono costruiti circa 1000 nuovi edifici in paglia all'anno. In Italia, uno dei primi fabbricati in balle di paglia è stato realizzato nel comune di Pramaggiore (Ve): si tratta di un'abitazione su due piani, ognuno dei quali ha un'estensione di circa 140 metri quadri. L'edificio, munito di regolare permesso a costruire, è stato realizzato da Stefano Soldati, allievo di Barbara Jones. Egli stesso ha partecipato alla costruzione di una decina di edifici in balle di paglia in diversi paesi europei.

Cervello equino cervello umano. Come il cavallo e l'uomo pensano, agiscono e lavorano insieme
br. L'autrice, neuroscienziata e cavallerizza, descrive la collaborazione tra i cervelli equino e umano e, usando un linguaggio accessibile, esamina le differenze e le affinità nei vari modi in cui uomo e cavallo affrontano il mondo. Capacità come vedere, apprendere, temere, fidarsi e concentrarsi sono trattate dalla prospettiva di entrambi. Inoltre le storie vere di cavalli e cavalieri e dei loro tentativi di capirsi a vicenda aiutano a illustrare i principi. Conoscendo la funzione di entrambi i cervelli, possiamo imparare a comunicare con i cavalli alle loro condizioni invece che alle nostre, risparmiando così prezioso tempo di addestramento e migliorando la performance; raggiungiamo in questo modo anche altri obiettivi senza usare forza e imposizione.

Scuola di pasticceria. Torte e delizie dolci e salate
ill., ril. Ci avete mai fatto caso? Abbiamo molti ricordi legati al cibo, ma quelli che hanno a che fare con la pasticceria sembrano indelebili. Quel biscotto croccante e profumato di burro che addentavamo a scuola durante l'intervallo, la ciambella dorata che la mamma sfornava il pomeriggio per la merenda, quel morso al mille foglie della domenica che si sfaldava con un niente... I nostri ricordi sarebbero stati così memorabili se avessimo assaggiato dolci poco cotti, flaccidi e deludenti? Assolutamente no. Eppure ci arrendiamo più spesso di quanto vorremmo alla comodità dei dolci già pronti, perché sotto sotto pensiamo che la pasticceria sia l'antitesi di quella pausa di golosità e conforto che cerchiamo quando siamo un po' giù o quando vorremmo concludere una cena con un dessert strepitoso. Tempi lunghi, passaggi infiniti, attenzione maniacale alle dosi... Una fatica enorme. Per convincerci a mettere mano alla preparazione di una torta bisognerebbe semplificare ogni processo ed eliminare quel gergo tecnico da adepti. Le ricette dovrebbero essere facili da seguire e di sicura riuscita, senza dover ricorrere a una costosa attrezzatura professionale o a una laurea in pasticceria... Sembra un elenco di desideri irrealizzabili e probabilmente era così... prima di questo libro! Provate a sfogliarlo. È su misura per voi, lo ha scritto una persona che non ha frequentato una scuola professionale. L'unico ingrediente difficile che dovete trovare, il più importante, è la pazienza. Per il resto, affidatevi alle sue pagine. "Ho sperimentato e visto gli effetti calmanti e terapeutici della pasticceria, e consiglio di fare una torta a chiunque voglia solo dimenticare il mondo, almeno per un po'".
