Book excerpt: Like all technology in the late-twentieth, early twenty-first century, automobiles are not exempt from the fast-paced evolution; the telegram system has been replaced with the cellphone. The evening news on the television has been replaced with instantly-updated news on the internet. The horse and carriage have been replaced with the self-driving automobile. This is one person's forty-year experience in that transition. The fellow mechanics will get a good laugh knowing you are not alone. The everyday automobile driver should read this to possibly get a better insight to what goes on in today's vehicle and the poor individual trying to repair it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A remarkable work which will remain a document of the first rank for the historian of mechanics." — Louis de Broglie In this masterful synthesis and summation of the science of mechanics, Rene Dugas, a leading scholar and educator at the famed Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, deals with the evolution of the principles of general mechanics chronologically from their earliest roots in antiquity through the Middle Ages to the revolutionary developments in relativistic mechanics, wave and quantum mechanics of the early 20th century. The present volume is divided into five parts: The first treats of the pioneers in the study of mechanics, from its beginnings up to and including the sixteenth century; the second section discusses the formation of classical mechanics, including the tremendously creative and influential work of Galileo, Huygens and Newton. The third part is devoted to the eighteenth century, in which the organization of mechanics finds its climax in the achievements of Euler, d'Alembert and Lagrange. The fourth part is devoted to classical mechanics after Lagrange. In Part Five, the author undertakes the relativistic revolutions in quantum and wave mechanics. Writing with great clarity and sweep of vision, M. Dugas follows closely the ideas of the great innovators and the texts of their writings. The result is an exceptionally accurate and objective account, especially thorough in its accounts of mechanics in antiquity and the Middle Ages, and the important contributions of Jordanus of Nemore, Jean Buridan, Albert of Saxony, Nicole Oresme, Leonardo da Vinci, and many other key figures. Erudite, comprehensive, replete with penetrating insights, AHistory of Mechanics is an unusually skillful and wide-ranging study that belongs in the library of anyone interested in the history of science.

Book excerpt: The history of automobiles is not just the story of invention, manufacturing, and marketing; it is also a story of repair. Auto Mechanics opens the repair shop to historical study—for the first time—by tracing the emergence of a dirty, difficult, and important profession. Kevin L. Borg's study spans a century of automotive technology—from the horseless carriage of the late nineteenth century to the "check engine" light of the late twentieth. Drawing from a diverse body of source material, Borg explores how the mechanic’s occupation formed and evolved within the context of broad American fault lines of class, race, and gender and how vocational education entwined these tensions around the mechanic’s unique expertise. He further shows how aspects of the consumer rights and environmental movements, as well as the design of automotive electronics, reflected and challenged the social identity and expertise of the mechanic. In the history of the American auto mechanic, Borg finds the origins of a persistent anxiety that even today accompanies the prospect of taking one's car in for repair.

This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t send your kids off to college without this book, especially if they will be engaged in the sciences or philosophy. The Design of Science, Evolution, the Environment, and Redemption will clarify the differences, scientific basis, and logical foundation for the two most dominating and competing worldviews we have adopted in western society nowadays—namely science and religion. After reading this book, you will be able to better understand, articulate, and defend what you believe and why. As a society in general, we need to understand the basis of our morality and culture, and how science and religion each have a role to play. Just a few of the types of questions answered are: Is there really competition and conflict between science and religion? What is the technological and philosophical scope of science? How does our worldview affect the development of morality and virtue, both individually and collectively? Do we really need to be concerned about global environmental changes? Which type of worldview does the best job of providing answers to the tough questions on origin, purpose, environmental issues, morality, government, and eternity? Is a belief in God and the Bible part of the evolutionary process? Written by a mechanical engineer with more than thirty years of design and R&D experience, The Design of Science, Evolution, the Environment, and Redemption lays out in a clear, concise, easy-to-read, and entertaining manner much of the science, logic, and data used by academia and the media to answer life’s toughest questions as compared to the biblical Judeo-Christian tradition. This book explores how we can measure the truthfulness, accuracy, and scope of these worldviews and how they can affect us personally, spiritually, and culturally. The answers are logically, spiritually, and technically robust, as well as just plain surprising in many ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects my shorter articles on the history of mechanics, some already published in various places, some revised from earlier papers, and some never published before. All of them began as lectures, and here they are printed as such, little changed from the last times I read them out to an audience. While the several articles concern different aspects of mechanics, overlap and even some repetition could not be avoided, since mechanics is one great science, and the same original oftentimes served more than one end in its growth. My three major historical treatises, which were published in Volumes (II) 11 , 2 12, and 13 of L. Euleri Opera Omnia, are not included. To simplify the printing I have also mostly omitted detailed reference to sources discussed more fully in those treatises, but of course I have added to the texts of the lectures citations of other sources, some notes in answer to questions a reader might ask, and biblio graphical notes at the end of each. I am grateful to the U.S. National Science Foundation for its support of this work through a grant to The Johns Hopkins University.
