Book excerpt: This volume of original and historic photographs captures the story of the ingenious bridges that carried us from the Victorian era into modern times. With their moveable platforms designed to traverse busy waterways, Transporter Bridges served a brief but vital need from the late 19th century into the early 20th. Though many were planned, the huge increase in road transport quickly rendered them obsolete. In the end, fewer than thirty were ever completed across the world, with only nine still standing in their original form. But the transporter bridge appears to be entering a renaissance. In France and Argentina, restoration efforts are bringing life back to some of the original bridges. Meanwhile, proposals exist for three new bridges across France—at Nantes, Marseille and Brest—to replace some of those lost during and after the Second World War. This illustrated history captures the beauty of transporter bridges through hundreds of color photographs. The author combines his own modern images with many historic photographs and postcards chronicling the construction and operation of these unusual structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transporter Bridges Five years later, an elaborate plan for a transporter bridge over the Thames, was prepared by L. Mills and A. Twyman of North Shields, with a center opening 200 feet in Width and 80 feet high. The upper platform, reached by elevators in the towers, was to have provision for pedestrian travel, so that foot passengers could cross at all times. As transporter bridges are especially suitable for crossing harbor entrances at the sea coast, the type had for many years been advocated for the water courses at New York, and in 1885, 1\/ir. John F. Anderson published a design, Fig. 1, for crossing the Hudson by means of a moving platform suspended from a high level track, supported on pairs of cylinder piers. The platform was to be long enough to always be in contact with three sets of piers, thereby insuring lateral stability. In other respects the design was quite similar to those previously prepared by Harvey Leach and H. N. Houghton, and to Haege's plan for a rolling railway bridge.' Two years previous to this Mr. Gustav Lindenthal had been granted an American patent on a transporter bridge with a traveling suspended car. During the year 1894, two important passenger cableways were erected, one near Knoxville, Tennessee, and the other at Brighton Dyke, England, the car on the former one moving on a cable with steep incline. The cableway crossing Devil's Dyke at Brighton, designed by W. J. Brewer, had a clear center span of 650 feet, the type being selected because conditions would not permit the expense of a regular bridge. -an upper unstiffened cable over the towers, with a sag of only 26 feet, supports all the load, and two lower horizontal cables suspended therefrom by one-inch steel bars, carry the trolley at a height of 230 feet above the valley at the deepest part. The car is only 5 by 7 feet, to hold from eight to twelve passengers, and it is hauled back and forth by a smaller rope, making the passage in 2% minutes. After its completion, 720 people were taken across and back in 2% hours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What makes you the way you are--and what makes each of us different from everyone else? In Innate, leading neuroscientist and popular science blogger Kevin Mitchell traces human diversity and individual differences to their deepest level: in the wiring of our brains. Deftly guiding us through important new research, including his own groundbreaking work, he explains how variations in the way our brains develop before birth strongly influence our psychology and behavior throughout our lives, shaping our personality, intelligence, sexuality, and even the way we perceive the world. We all share a genetic program for making a human brain, and the program for making a brain like yours is specifically encoded in your DNA. But, as Mitchell explains, the way that program plays out is affected by random processes of development that manifest uniquely in each person, even identical twins. The key insight of Innate is that the combination of these developmental and genetic variations creates innate differences in how our brains are wired--differences that impact all aspects of our psychology--and this insight promises to transform the way we see the interplay of nature and nurture. Innate also explores the genetic and neural underpinnings of disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy, and how our understanding of these conditions is being revolutionized. In addition, the book examines the social and ethical implications of these ideas and of new technologies that may soon offer the means to predict or manipulate human traits. Compelling and original, Innate will change the way you think about why and how we are who we are."--Provided by the publisher.
