| Publisher Description: There are so many beautiful places on Earth, from Rome to New York, from Tokyo to Washington, from Mount Fuji to Helsinki What is in New York on W 42nd Street, near 8th Avenue? What can be seen from Minamitsuru District in Japan? Where is the only sculpture Michelangelo ever signed? Where is the Three smiths statue? Where is the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantin? Where are presented some Douglas DC-3 (1936) airplanes? All the answers are in this book. Speaking of airplanes, the first successful modeling of fluid and gas flows was accomplished by the aerospace industry, because they understood the advantages such modeling will have for successful aircraft design. Now, the practical application of Navier-Stokes equations for the modeling of flows is performed on many objects, from the world's largest hydropower plant to a familiar rear-view mirror on a car. And one more question: what is Shinkansen?The over 190 photos, taken between 2007 and 2013, show a delightful variety of images of very interesting places on this Earth.This book offers a great amount of information about many places, and will certainly contribute to a better understanding of different countries and cultures, with their astonishing history and achievements. |
