Where will humanity end up?

This is a collection of essays covering the most important critical thinking in the conflict between science and the return to the false notion of traditional thinking.

If the attack on science continues, it will endanger the very foundations of the social economic and cultural success of the past three centuries. The enemies of the future will be those who have given up on the very principles on which the enlightenment was founded, preferring mysticism to rationality, ideology to evidence and superstition to science.

Science vs Superstition challenges the common belief that in today's world, there is no such thing as progress which is not dangerous or at least questionable. While many people seem to have lost the vision of a better tomorrow, the authors of Science vs Superstition believe that it is time to make the case for a more positive attitude towards the future - a future that is made brighter through science.

Tribology and Dynamics of Engine and Powertrain: Fundamentals, Applications and Future Trends
Tribology, the science of friction, wear and lubrication, is one of the cornerstones of engineering's quest for efficiency and conservation of resources. Tribology and dynamics of engine and powertrain: fundamentals, applications and future trends provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the disciplines of dynamics and tribology using a multi-physics and multi-scale approach to improve automotive engine and powertrain technology.Part one reviews the fundamental aspects of the physics of motion, particularly the multi-body approach to multi-physics, multi-scale problem solving in tribology. Fundamental issues in tribology are then described in detail, from surface phenomena in thin-film tribology, to impact dynamics, fluid film and elastohydrodynamic lubrication means of measurement and evaluation. These chapters provide an understanding of the theoretical foundation for Part II which includes many aspects of the physics of motion at a multitude of interaction scales from large displacement dynamics to noise and vibration tribology, all of which affect engines and powertrains. Many chapters are contributed by well-established practitioners disseminating their valuable knowledge and expertise on specific engine and powertrain sub-systems. These include overviews of engine and powertrain issues, engine bearings, piston systems, valve trains, transmission and many aspects of drivetrain systems. The final part of the book considers the emerging areas of microengines and gears as well as nano-scale surface engineering.With its distinguished editor and international team of academic and industry contributors, Tribology and dynamics of engine and powertrain is a standard work for automotive engineers and all those researching NVH and tribological issues in engineering.
