Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Americans, a dark, tense, action thriller with comic touches, has been hailed by many critics as currently the best show on television. The story, created by a former CIA spy, centers on two Soviet agents posing as an ordinary American couple, Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, in 1980s Washington DC. They have two teenage children who know nothing of their clandestine occupation and function as part of their cover story.The Americans and Philosophy brings together diverse philosophers who take a close look at the metaphysical and ethical aspects of the The Americans.The Jenningses believe they are living in a decadent capitalist society and draw emotional uplift from their dedication to a higher ideal. Just one step ahead of the FBI, they practice murder and seduction as instruments to further the goals of Communist subversion. This gives their lives more meaning and more excitement than those of the other people around them, and serious questions arise as to whether their lives can be truly fulfilling and ennobled.Quaint-looking 1980s culture plays a conspicuous role in The Americans, an example being the psychotherapeutic self-awareness cult known as est, which features in the story and also serves as an allegory of espionage, as est (along with ancient philosophy) asks the question, Do our secret, inner lives truly align with how we act? The gadgetry of espionage, including the poorly adapted but actually historically accurate "mail robot" of the 1980s FBI, prompt speculations about the interaction of humans with artificial intelligence. Philip and Elizabeth's genuine horror when they find that one of their children is praying and attending church brings out the ambiguities in the popular notion of brainwashing and indoctrination.Since the Jenningses' children enjoy a comfortable life with many opportunities, can it be true that they are immorally exploited? Knowing that all weapons of war are intended to kill and maim, can we uniquely stigmatize some weapons (such as the biological weapon called "Glanders" in Season Four) as unacceptable? All governments practice the duplicity and deception of espionage, but special problems arise when continual lying invades personal relationships. Is it true that in the modern world, devotion to the state has become a "sacred fiction," like a religion?Lying is everywhere in The Americans, but much of the lying is very similar to everyday deception: parents often withhold from their children facts about the parents' jobs which might cause needless anxiety, and tell their children apparently harmless fibs like saying that Santa Claus exists. The boundary between criminal lying and everyday lying is a continual irony in the script of The Americans.Can the demands of a lofty cause, even the survival of freedom or justice in the world, justify the deliberate killing of an innocent individual? Such questions continually bombard the show's protagonists, while existentialist philosophy poses the question: Is Elizabeth truly free to quit being a spy? Philosophers probe the popular TV spy show. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the performance of seven mechanically refrigerated rail cars, with one ice-cooled car for comparison, all of differing designs, created by the US Government in the 1950s. The book delves into the specifics of each car's construction, insulation, and refrigeration unit, providing detailed specifications and test results. The author provides a thorough analysis of each car's performance, including its body heat transmission rate, refrigerating unit capacity, and air flow. The study reveals significant variations in performance among the cars, highlighting the need for standardized industry-wide testing methods for rating refrigerated rail cars. The book concludes by discussing the broader implications of these findings for improving the design and operation of mechanically refrigerated rail cars. This book is a valuable resource for professionals involved in the design, manufacturing, or operation of refrigerated rail cars, as well as researchers interested in the history of refrigeration technology. It offers a wealth of technical data and insights into the factors that influence the performance of these essential transportation assets. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of spray cooling systems for transporting live hogs. After hog deaths and transit shrinkage during hot weather became a concern in the mid-20th century, a hog marketing company devised a simple and inexpensive water sprinkler cooling system for their truck trailers. The system consisted of a length of galvanized pipe with fittings and a garden hose. Tests conducted in 1956 revealed promising results, with the sprinkled hogs experiencing fewer deaths, lower transit shrinkage, and higher hot slaughtered yield weight. The author presents a detailed account of the test procedures, including temperature monitoring and weight measurements. Additionally, an experimental soaker hose spray system is introduced, offering potential advantages in terms of spray distribution and cost. The book concludes by emphasizing the need for further research and the potential benefits of spray cooling for reducing hog losses and improving meat quality during transport.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the effectiveness of sprinkling live hogs during transportation to reduce losses in the livestock industry. Sprinkling hogs en route has been found to reduce mortality by as much as 100%, reduce transit shrink by up to 3%, and increase hot slaughtered yield by up to 2% when compared to unsprinkled hogs. The author details three series of over-the-road comparison tests done over a 3-year period on truck-mounted sprinkling systems, evaluating possible advantages of sprinkling hogs on 5-. 11-, and 27-hour motor trips. The findings from these tests point to the decided advantage of sprinkling live hogs in transit, especially under specific conditions of time and temperature. This book is recommended for any shipper of hogs who operates in summer temperatures above 80° F. and is seeking to reduce transit losses.
