Wiring the World: The Social and Cultural Creation of Global Telegraph Networks (Columbia Studies in International and Global History)
by Simone MüllerThe successful laying of a transatlantic cable in 1866 remade world communications. A message could travel across the ocean in minutes, shrinking the space between continents, cultures, and nations. An eclectic group of engineers, entrepreneurs, politicians, and media visionaries then developed this technology into a telecommunications system that spread a particular vision of civilization—but not everyone wanted to wire the world the same way. Wiring the World is a cultural and social history that explores how the large Anglo-American cable companies won out over alternative visions. Bitter rivalries emerged over telegram prices, visions for world peace, scientific innovation, and the role of the nation-state. Such struggles determined the growth of cable technology, which in turn influenced world history. Filled with fascinating characters and new insights into pivotal events, Wiring the World traces globalization's diverse paths and close ties to business and politics.
Wirtschaftliche Nutzung von Abwärmequellen: Randbedingungen, technische Voraussetzungen und Wärmenetze
by Wolfgang Heße Bert OschatzMit Hilfe von Temperatur-Wärmeschaubildern ist die Nutzung von Abwärmepotenzialen veranschaulicht und entsprechende Schaltschemata werden vorgestellt. Die für eine Einbindung in Wärmenetze nötigen Abwärmepotenziale sind hinsichtlich ihrer Eintrittstemperatur in Relation zur Ein- und Austrittstemperatur klassifiziert. Als Bezugs-Szenario ist eine Abwärmenutzung nur mittels Wärmeübertrager betrachtet. Der Einsatz von Wärmepumpen ermöglicht eine größere Auskühlung der Abwärmequelle. Damit kann die Rohrleitung zwischen der Abwärmequelle und dem Wärmenetz geringer bemessen werden. Die resultierende Verringerung der Investitionskosten wird mit den zusätzlichen Kosten für die Wärmepumpe verglichen. Die Versorgungsverhältnisse der Wärmenetze sind als Wärmeleistung sowie Vorlauf- und Rücklauftemperatur in Abhängigkeit von der Außentemperatur beschrieben. Die Hauptkomponenten der Abwärmenutzung wie Rohrleitungen, Umwälzpumpen, Wärmeübertrager und Wärmepumpen sind vorgestellt. Mit Hilfe der Jahresdauerlinie für die Außentemperatur erfolgt eine energetische Bewertung der Prozesse. Für den Praktiker sind die Zusammenhänge bei der Abwärmenutzung mit den Komponenten Wärmeübergabe an das Wärmenetz und Wärmetransport von der Abwärmequelle zum Wärmenetz hinsichtlich der Bemessung auch des Teillastverhaltens erläutert. Eine überschlägige wirtschaftliche Bewertung hilft bei der Entscheidung in die Gestaltung der Abwärmenutzung.

Wisconsin's Flying Trees in World War II: A Victory for American Forest Products and Allied Aviation
by Sara Witter ConnorA look at how the Wisconsin lumber industry and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory contributed to Allied efforts in World War II.Wisconsin’s trees heard “Timber” during World War II, as the forest products industry of the Badger State played a key role in the Allied aerial campaign. It was Wisconsin that provided the material for the De Havilland Mosquito, known as the “Timber Terror,” while the CG-4A battle-ready gliders, cloaked in stealthy silence, carried the 82nd and 101st Airborne into fierce fighting throughout Europe and the Pacific. Author Sara Witter Connor follows a forgotten thread of the American war effort, celebrating the factory workers, lumberjacks, pilots, and innovative thinkers of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory who helped win a world war with paper, wood, and glue.
The Wisdom of Sheep: Observations from a Family Farm
by Rosamund Young&“Elegiac, funny, warm and wise, The Wisdom of Sheep will delight country folk and city dwellers alike.&” —Katherine MayA touching, wise and surprising chronicle of the rich inner lives of animals, drawn from Rosamund Young&’s extraordinary lifetime as an organic farmerWe talk a lot about sheep: following the herd, counting sheep to fall asleep and looking out for wolves in sheep&’s clothing. But, just like people, animals don&’t always follow the pack. Some are affectionate while others butt heads; some follow the leader while some guide the whole flock home. With startling beauty and tenderness, Rosamund Young reveals the remarkable emotional and intellectual complexity of the animals she lives with on her family farm, and the story of her life&’s work, with the intimacy of a personal diary.Just as she did in her acclaimed book, The Secret Life of Cows, Young transports readers to the wild meadows of Kite&’s Nest Farm, where she has worked as an organic farmer for over forty years, at the beck and call of the abundant wildlife, living in direct contact with the consciousnesses of her beloved animals. Through tender portraits of her sometimes eventful but always rewarding days at Kite&’s Nest, Young recounts a multitude of discoveries, such as how cows converse with one another, why sheep are so strongheaded—and why you should never, ever text whilst milking. That&’s a lesson you need learn only once.This is a story of joy, discovery, cooperation and, sometimes, heartbreak. But through it all, The Wisdom of Sheep is a fresh and delightful tribute to the miraculous inner worlds of the animals all around us and what we can learn about them, and about ourselves, by watching them more closely.

With a Royal Engineers Field Company in France & Italy: April 1915 to the Armistice
by V.F. EberleA memoir of the First World War from the rare perspective of an engineer.VF Eberle MC joined up upon the outbreak of the war in No 2 Field Company Royal Engineers, 48th (South Midland) Division, the same company as his brother, who was a captain. He was commissioned before sailing for France at the end of March 1915 and remained with it for the rest of the war. In that time he saw action on the Somme and in the Advance to the Hindenburg Line before his Division took part for most of the Battle of Third Ypres (Passchendaele). Transferred to Italy at the end of 1917, he took part in the final stages of the war, including the Battle of Asiago. Besides his eloquent description of the work of a field company RE, he spends some time in outlining his role in the development of the Bangalore Torpedo.Based on his wartime letters, diaries, and records—which can now be consulted in the Imperial War Museum—this book gives a detailed picture of the employment of a field company in war, during both periods of both relative tranquility and major offensives. There are relatively few memoirs of Royal Engineers’ officers, especially of those in his position, so close to the line. The memoirs benefit from his key eye for observation and his skillful use of the material available to him, making this a fine addition to the literature of the Great War.

As the glimmering clouds continue to kill anyone who steps outside, the tensions and suspicions among the party guests near a boiling point. But she begins to realize that there may be others in that cellar even more desperate than she is.
With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change
by Fred PearceAlthough he considers himself a skeptical environmentalist, Pearce (a former news editor and current environment and development consultant with New Scientist) is highly alarmed about the prospect of global climate change induced by human activity, warning that, instead of the gradual climate change modeled by the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we are quite likely to experience abrupt and violent change triggered by the crossing of hidden tipping points such as the release of huge amounts of methane from the melting Siberian peat, the end of the Asian monsoon as a result of aerosol emissions from China and India, or the shutdown of the ocean's conveyer belt regulating global temperatures. In addition to explaining the science of these tipping points to a lay audience, Pearce profiles the scientists involved in investigating global climate change in the past and predicting its future.
