Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformers began with toys and a cartoon series in 1984 and has since grown to include comic books, movies, and video games — its science fiction story has reached an audience with a wide range second only to that of Star Wars. Here, in Transformers and Philosophy, a dream team of philosophers pursues the fascinating questions posed by humankind’s encounter with an artificially intelligent mechanical civilization: Is genuine artificial intelligence possible? Would a robotic civilization come with its own morality and artistic life, and would it find a need for romantic love? Should we be more careful about developing robots that may eventually develop ideas of their own? Transformers and Philosophy puts Transformers under a microscope and exposes its philosophical implications in an instantly readable way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of transformers and generators is well known in the various engineering fields. The book provides comprehensive coverage of the various types of transformers, d.c. generators and synchronous generators (alternators). The book starts with the brief review of single phase transformer. It continues to discuss no load and on load performance of transformers, phasor diagrams, equivalent circuit, voltage regulation and all day efficiency of transformer. The detailed discussion of open and short circuit tests and predetermination of regulation and efficiency is also included in the book. The chapter on three phase transformer provides the detailed discussion of construction, three phase transformer connections and phasor groups. The book also explains parallel operation of transformers, tap changing transformer, autotransformers, cooling of transformers and three winding transformer. The various testing methods of transformers are also incorporated in the book. The book covers all the details of d.c. generators including construction, armature reaction, commutation, characteristics and applications. The chapters on synchronous generators starts with the explanation of basics of synchronous generators including construction, winding details, e.m.f. equation and effect of harmonics on induced e.m.f. The book then explains the concept of armature reaction, phasor diagrams, regulation and various methods of finding the regulation of alternator. Stepwise explanation and simple techniques used to elaborate these methods is the feature of this book. The book further explains the concept of synchronization of alternators, two reaction theory and parallel operation of alternators. The book uses plain, lucid language to explain each topic. The book provides the logical method of explaining the various complicated topics and stepwise methods to make the understanding easy. Each chapter is well supported with necessary illustrations, self explanatory diagrams and variety of solved problems. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.

Book excerpt: Through spaceships, aliens, ray guns and other familiar trappings, science fiction uses the future (and sometimes the past) to comment on current social, cultural and political ideologies; the same is true of science fiction in children's film and television. This collection of essays analyzes the confluences of science fiction and children's visual media, covering such cultural icons as Flash Gordon, the Jetsons and Star Wars, as well as more contemporary fare like the films Wall-E, Monsters vs. Aliens and Toy Story. Collectively, the essays discover, applaud and critique the hidden--and not-so-hidden--messages presented on our children's film and TV screens.

Book excerpt: Anime and Philosophy focuses on some of the most-loved, most-intriguing anime films and series, as well as lesser-known works, to find what lies at their core. Astro Boy, Dragon Ball Z, Ghost in the Shell, and Spirited Away are just a few of the films analyzed in this book. In these stories about monsters, robots, children, and spirits who grapple with the important questions in life we find insight crucial to our times: lessons on morality, justice, and heroism, as well as meditations on identity, the soul, and the meaning — or meaninglessness — of life. Anime has become a worldwide phenomenon, reaching across genres, mediums, and cultures. For those wondering why so many people love anime or for die-hard fans who want to know more, Anime and Philosophy provides a deeper appreciation of the art and storytelling of this distinctive Japanese culture.

Book excerpt: Recent catastrophic blackouts have exposed major vulnerabilities in the existing generation, transmission, and distribution systems of transformers widely used for energy transfer, measurement, protection, and signal coupling. As a result, the reliability of the entire power system is now uncertain, and many blame severe underinvestment, aging technology, and a conservative approach to innovation. Composed of contributions from noted industry experts around the world, Transformers: Analysis, Design, and Measurement offers invaluable information to help designers and users overcome these and other challenges associated with the design, construction, application, and analysis of transformers. This book is divided into three sections to address contemporary economic, design, diagnostic, and maintenance aspects associated with power, instrument, and high-frequency transformers. Topics covered include: Design considerations Capability to withstand short circuits Insulation problems Stray losses, screening, and local excessive heating hazard Shell type and superconducting transformers Links between design and maintenance Component-related diagnostics and reliability Economics of life-cycle cost, design review, and risk-management methods Parameter measurement and prediction This book is an essential tool for understanding and implementing solutions that will ensure improvements in the development, maintenance, and life-cycle management of optimized transformers. This will lead to enhanced safety and reliability and lower costs for the electrical supply. Illustrating the need for close cooperation between users and manufacturers of transformers, this book outlines ways to achieve man

La mejor etapa de los Transformers en toda su historia continúa aquí después de los hechos narrados en Transformers: Renacimiento. Rodimus Prime lidera a una de las tripulaciones más disparatadas de la historia de la galaxia en su búsqueda de los Caballeros de Cybertron, una religión que oscila entre el mito y la realidad. En su viaje se encontrarán distintas especies, establecerán vínculos entre ellos, se enfrentarán a traiciones, a un equipo Decepticon que no sabe que la guerra ha terminado y, por si fuera poco, a una enfermedad que amenaza con matarlos a todos, sin posibilidad de escapar de la nave. Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye te transporta a una época en la que las aventuras más grandes que la vida ocurrían en las relaciones entre personajes, una space opera que se ha convertido por derecho propio en lo mejor del cómic norteamericano. LA CRÍTICA DICE: "No es sólo un buen cómic de Transformers: es un gran cómic. Punto. Y no me importa si nunca has leído un cómic de Transformers. Deberías leer este.

Sherlock Holmes and Philosophy applies observation and deduction to the ultimate “three pipe problem,” the meaning of Sherlock Holmes. -- Cover p. [4] and publisher's website.
