A complete guide to electric vehicle design, operation, and adoption This hands-on resource thoroughly explains the technologies and techniques involved in the design and operation of today's electric vehicles. Originally written for use in a course co-taught by the authors at Stanford University, Electric Vehicle Engineering discusses the physics of vehicle motion; the electrical principles on which motors rely; the chemistry, operation, and charging of lithium-ion batteries; the design and operation of motor controllers; the energy efficiency and environmental impact of electric vehicles; and the policy and economics affecting their adoption. After teaching you the theory, the authors will guide you through a hands-on project in which you will build a model electric car from the ground up with a hand-wound electric motor of your own design.

Cognitive Computing for Human-Robot Interaction: Principles and Practices explores the efforts that should ultimately enable society to take advantage of the often-heralded potential of robots to provide economical and sustainable computing applications. The book discusses each of these abilities, presents working implementations, and combines coherent and original deliberative architecture for human-robot interaction. Supported by experimental results, the book shows how explicit knowledge management can be instrumental in richer and more natural human-robot interactions by pushing for pervasive, human-level semantics within the robot's deliberative system for sustainable computing applications.

A deep dive and exploration into the critical role of the nervous system in conflict resolution and peacebuilding Drawing from neuroscience, social neuropsychology, predictive-processing theory, and decades of applied conflict resolution practice, Wired for Peace: Using 7 Neuroscience-Based Principles to Resolve Conflicts presents a transformational model for understanding why conflict escalates and how sustainable peace is created. Moving beyond traditional communication-skills or mediation-only approaches, this book shows that lasting conflict resolution begins with the autonomic nervous system and the brain's threat-prediction mechanisms. The book illuminates the internal neural architecture that determines how individuals perceive danger, construct narratives, react to stress, and attempt either protection or connection. Authored by Dr. Jeremy Pollack, an organizational psychologist, conflict resolution expert, and founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, the work examines: How th
