The Engineering Revolution : How the Modern World was Changed by Technology
Over the past two million years that human species have inhabited the Planet Earth they have distinguished themselves by their ability to make and do things creatively to ensure their survival.From the beginning, therefore, they have been defined by their technology, and the history of technology is the history of the species.For most of this period, the development of human technical skills has been extremely slow and repetitive, limited to basic tools and weapons and the ability to control fire.The utilisation of animal power and the invention of the means of harnessing the power of wind and falling water added gradually to their technical skills, but it was the discovery of ways of using power from heat engines a mere three hundred years ago that accelerated this process into a prodigious expansion of technical power that fundamentally transformed human societies .It is this development which deserves to be to be called 'The Engineering Revolution' and provides the primary focus of this book.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World : Science, Engineering and Technology
Michael Higgins broadens our understanding of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by bringing science, engineering, and technology together with ancient documentation and archaeological findings. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (Pyramids of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Colossus of Rhodes, and the Pharos Lighthouse at Alexandria) have been a source of fascination for more than two thousand years.Even though six of the Wonders are now gone, historians and archaeologists have attempted to explain how and why these ancient monuments were created.However, never before have these attempts been synthesized with the contributions of science, engineering, and technology. In The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Michael Higgins combines scientific research together with ancient documentation and archaeological findings to present a rich, multi-layered portrait of each monument.To build a Wonder took advanced social organization and wealth generated by agriculture and trade, both of which depended on regional geography and climate.It also took natural resources, as well as an understanding of the environment where the Wonder would stand.Even the natural processes often responsible for a Wonder's destruction sometimes contributed to the preservation of its ruins.These and other topics are accessibly explored in this book.After using science, engineering, and technology to answer key questions about the Wonders, Higgins speculates on how we could recreate these ancient monuments and make new wonders that could withstand environmental changes and natural disasters for the next two thousand years.

Men Amidst the Madness : British Technology Development in World War II
Individually and collectively, the Fellows of the Royal Society were involved in many wartime activities.For example, prior to the outbreak of World War Two Her Majesty's Government decided to establish a Central Register of persons with 'professional, scientific, technical or higher administrative qualifications', for use in time of War, and entrusted this work to the Ministry of Labour.The Secretaries of the Royal Society discussed the project with officials from that Ministry, and at the beginning of 1939, started to compile the part of the Central Register which dealt with scientific research.Some Fellows such as Sir Winston Churchill FRS, Albert Einstein ForMemRS, Alan Turing FRS, Sir Barnes Wallis FRS and Jan Christian Smuts FRS were either in the public eye during World War Two, or were the subject of films and documentaries soon afterwards.Equally there are individuals who have escaped the limelight.For example, Sir Harry Work Melville FRS was Scientific Adviser to the Chief Superintendent of Chemical Defence, Ministry of Supply (1940-1943) based mainly at Porton Down and Superintendent of the Radar Research Station at Malvern (1943-1945).Sir (Thomas) Angus Lyall Paton FRS organised staff for the supervision of a number of the reinforced concrete caissons and Phoenix units that formed part of Mulberry Harbours for the invasion of France, which incidentally were designed by Sir Bruce White.Of course Sir Frank Whittle OM CBE CB FRS also came to the public's attention for his war work on the jet engine. Interestingly, William Michael Herbert Greaves FRS was appointed Astronomer Royal for Scotland, as well as Professor of Astronomy at Edinburgh University and was in charge of the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh.He helped to set up an independent time service there, in case the regular Greenwich time service should be completely disrupted.This service was run by Greaves with the help of only a very small staff.These, and many other stories, provide a fascinating and detailed picture of the men frequently labelled 'boffins', and the work they did during World War Two.

Sustainable Development and Water Security : Towards Achieving a Water-Secure World
Water is an integral part of our daily lives, yet most of us have little idea about how much water we use to maintain our lifestyles and the extent to which our lifestyles pollute and degrade water resources.The increasing occurrence of floods, droughts and water pollution incidents are reminders of our vulnerability in relation to water.Estimates suggest that global water demand could outstrip supply by the middle of the century if we continue with the current “business as usual” approach to water management. Melvyn Kay and Olcay Ünver use Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 as a framework to explore the concept of sustainable water resources management and how to improve water security.They provide a synthesis of water resources planning and management issues across all water-using sectors to dispel misunderstandings and myths and enable informed approaches to decision-making.In so doing, they offer an in-depth critical review of SDG6, including what it does and does not do.Case studies from around the world are used throughout the book to illustrate the key issues of water (in)security.
