Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calories were invented when engineers sought to design better locomotives and adopted while citizens were at risk of starvation due to famine, depression, and two world wars. Since Americans are now more likely to die of obesity, it is time to consider new bioenergetic models. This groundbreaking book: -Explains culinary trends in a new language for fitness enthusiasts -Provides graphs and charts for easy reference -Offers a new scale of nutritional measurement for policy makers, clinical dietitians, even school administrators -Proves consistent with both holistic methods and modern medical research -And motivates chefs to assume their rightful place in line for future federal investments, as food science gradually becomes preventative healthcare

While this science plays a critical role in determining the boundary between what is and is not possible in the natural world, it occurs to many as an indecipherable black box, thus making the subject a challenge to learn. Two obstacles contribute to this situation, the first being the disconnect between the fundamental theories and the underlying physics and the second being the confusing concepts and terminologies involved with the theories. While one needn't confront either of these two obstacles to successfully use thermodynamics to solve real problems, overcoming both provides access to a greater intuitive sense of the problems and more confidence, more strength, and more creativity in solving them. This book offers an original perspective on thermodynamic science and history based on the three approaches of a practicing engineer, academician, and historian. The book synthesises and gathers into one accessible volume a strategic range of foundational topics involving the atomic theory, energy, entropy, and the laws of thermodynamics.

Book excerpt: The fundamental question whether, or in which sense, science informs us about the real world has pervaded the history of thought since antiquity. Is what science tells us about the world determined unambiguously by facts or does the content of any scientific theory in some way depend on the human condition? "Sokal`s hoax" added a new dimension to this controversial debate, which very quickly came to been known as "Science Wars". "Knowledge and the World" examines and reviews the broad range of philosophical positions on this issue, stretching from realism to relativism, to expound the epistemic merits of science, and to address the central question: in which sense can science justifiably claim to provide a truthful portrait of reality? This book addresses everyone interested in the philosophy and history of science, and in particular in the interplay between the social and natural sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're fat, you probably need to gain weight on the inside: lean, vital tissue in muscle, kidney, and liver, etc. Now Dr. George E. Schauf, who is the author of Etiology of Obesity - The QQF Theory, challenges the validity of the caloric theory. He explains why most people's overweight problems are intensified, rather than helped, by calorie-counting diets. He shows you why the antiquated and inapplicable caloric theory should be abandoned and, most important of all, why obese people everywhere are actually suffering from malnutrition. Forget about calories. Eat more of the right foods at the right time. Lose up to 12-13 inches of fat where it counts. Look younger and feel healthier. Read this book and discover the QQF way to restore your inner body and lose excess body fat, for life.

Book excerpt: This book explores how steam engine technology was transferred into nineteenth-century China in the second half of the nineteenth century by focusing on the transmission of knowledge and skills. It takes on the long-term problem in historiography that puts too much emphasis on politics but ignores the techno-scientific and institutional requirements for launching such an endeavor. It examines how translations broke linguistic and conceptual barriers and brought new a understanding of heat to the Chinese readership. It also explores how the Fuzhou Navy Yard’s shipbuilding and training program trained China’s first generation of shipbuilding workers and engineers. It argues that conservatism against technology was not to blame for China’s slow development in steamship building. Rather, it was government officials’ failure to realize the scale of institutional and techno-scientific changes required in importing and disperse new knowledge and skills.

This book was released on 2004-06-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Christopher Norris develops the case for scientific realism by tackling various adversary arguments from a range of anti-realist positions. Through a close critical reading he shows how they fail to make adequate sense on any rational, consistent, and scientifically-informed survey of the evidence. Along the way he incorporates a number of detailed case-studies from the history and philosophy of science. Norris devotes much of his discussion to some of the most prominent and widely influential source-texts of anti-realism. Also included are the sophisticated versions of verificationism developed - albeit in very different ways - by thinkers such as Michael Dummett and Bas van Fraassen. Central to Norris's argument is a prolonged engagement with the once highly influential but nowadays neglected work of Norwood Russell Hanson. This book will be welcomed especially by readers who possess some knowledge of the background debate and who wish to deepen and extend their understanding of these issues beyond an introductory level.

Book excerpt: Thermodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications offers a blend of theory and practical applications for a complete understanding of thermodynamics for various engineering applications. Beginning with a basic introduction and principles of thermodynamics, the book advances to more specialized topics like organic Rankine cycle, gas mixtures, equilibria and chemical reactions. Exploring the first law of thermodynamics, different types of energies and their practical applications in engineering devices, the text covers enthalpy, heat transfer and work interactions with a focus on macroscopic and microscopic perspectives. It introduces the second law of thermodynamics and entropy with an in-depth look at Carnot engines and absolute temperature scales. The book includes applied problems that are solved using COOLPROP, Tilmedia and MAPLE-ThermophysicalData packages. The book is intended for senior undergraduate mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering students taking courses in thermodynamics. Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual, Figure Slides, and MAPLE codes for their courses.
