Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanded 4th Edition with 60+ pages of new material. Is there anyone, of any age, who has read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and not sketched their vision of the Nautilus in their imagination or down on paper? For 150 years, the submarine created by Jules Verne has captivated readers and inspired countless interpretations. Jules Verne was meticulous about incorporating cutting-edge technology of his time and making reasonable extrapolations. The Design and Construction of the Nautilus takes Jules Verne's in-text descriptions, paired with extensive research on the technology of the time in which Verne's iconic book was written, and presents detailed construction plans, design notes, and operational theories based on modern submarine technologies. The Nautilus is more than just a 19th-century mechanical marvel. She has always represented the ultimate technological triumph over nature, a symbol of mankind's mastery of our domain, and the human desire to explore the unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submarines had a vital, if often unheralded, role in the superpower navies during the Cold War. Their crews carried out intelligence-collection operations, sought out and stood ready to destroy opposing submarines, and, from the early 1960s, threatened missile attacks on their adversary's homeland, providing in many respects the most survivable nuclear deterrent of the Cold War. For both East and West, the modern submarine originated in German U-boat designs obtained at the end of World War II. Although enjoying a similar technology base, by the 1990s the superpowers had created submarine fleets of radically different designs and capabilities. Written in collaboration with the former Soviet submarine design bureaus, Norman Polmar and K. J. Moore authoritatively demonstrate in this landmark study how differing submarine missions, antisubmarine priorities, levels of technical competence, and approaches to submarine design organizations and management caused the divergence.

Book excerpt: THE NAUTILUS "Riding low in the water and bristling with iron barbs, the Nautilus was a menace to navigation: in a collision with her, a wooden ship would suffer grievous damage. Certainly, the conservative observer would condemn the submarine as an infernal machine the civilized world could never tolerate in rebel hands. But if the Nautilus was built to stand down for no one, she was only as hard and unforgiving as the World had been to the men who built her." Jules Verne gave us 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but never really explained who Captain Nemo and the Crew of the Nautilus were; let alone how or why they built the World's most advanced submarine and used it to wage war against some hated (yet undefined) nation. VULCANIUM (The Secret of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus) is the story of who they were; how and why they did what they did; and what adventures led up to that fateful encounter with the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. The intent is to entertain and (hopefully) educate; so as to enhance the reader's enjoyment of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by adding dimension to the characters, events, and technologies portrayed therein."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential exploration of how Russian ideas about the United States shaped architecture and urban design from the czarist era to the fall of the U.S.S.R. Idealized representations of America, as both an aspiration and a menace, played an important role in shaping Russian architecture and urban design from the American Revolution until the fall of the Soviet Union. Jean-Louis Cohen traces the powerful concept of “Amerikanizm” and its impact on Russia’s built environment from early czarist interest in Revolutionary America, through the spectacular World’s Fairs of the 19th century, to department stores, skyscrapers, and factories built in Russia using American methods during the 20th century. Visions of America also captivated the Russian avant-garde, from El Lissitzky to Moisei Ginzburg, and Cohen explores the ongoing artistic dialogue maintained between the two countries at the mid-century and in the late Soviet era, following a period of strategic competition. This first major study of Amerikanizm in the architecture of Russia makes a timely contribution to our understanding of modern architecture and its broader geopolitics.
