Los ensayos que componen este libro proponen una reflexión en clave humanista sobre una variedad de temas relacionados con el mar y la ingeniería marítima. Alejado de una descripción de los aspectos mas tecnicos de esta disciplina y de sus obras, es una invitacion a explorar desde multiples dimensiones (historica, geografica, sociocultural, politica, economica y, por supuesto, ecologica) la relacion del ser humano con el mar y la compleja interaccion entre entornos construidos y naturales. ¿Cual ha sido la evolucion de la navegacion desde sus origenes hasta la actualidad? ¿Como explicar la tradicional hegemonia de los paises nordicos sobre los mediterraneos, o el dominio actual de los puertos asiaticos sobre los occidentales en el comercio y transporte maritimos mundiales? ¿Que modelos se han seguido en la construccion y funcionamiento de puertos, y cual es su relacion con las ciudades? ¿Es posible conjugar de una manera sostenible el valor economico de la costa, cada vez mas urbanizada y sobreexplotada, y expuesta a un deterioro creciente, con la integracion y preservacion de sus paisajes y ecosistemas? ¿Que efectos esta teniendo el cambio climatico en los oceanos? ¿Cabe el riesgo de que se produzca un tsunami en nuestro litoral? ¿Como ha modificado la costa la erupcion del Cumbre Vieja, en la isla de La Palma? Preguntas todas ellas que Vicente Negro transforma en posturas, de afirmacion o rechazo, sobre distintos acontecimientos y tendencias. Vicente Negro Valdecantos es catedratico en la Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. Ha desarrollado una amplia actividad docente, investigadora y divulgativa en ingenieria maritima, incluyendo sus relaciones con el medioambiente y el clima.

During the early twentieth century, professional gamblers were such a scourge in the smoking rooms of trans-Atlantic passenger liners that White Star Line warned its passengers about them. In spring 1912 three professional gamblers travelled from the USA to England for the sole purpose of returning to America on the maiden voyage of Titanic. "Kid" Homer, "Harry" Rolmane and "Boy" Bradley (Harry Homer, Charles Romaine and George Brereton) were grifters with a long history of living on the wrong side of the law, who planned to utilize their skills at the card table to relieve fellow passengers of cash. One swiftly fell under suspicion of being a professional "card mechanic", and was excluded from some poker games, but other games continued apace. This new book, the result of years of research by George Behe, reveals the true identities of these gamblers, their individual backgrounds, the ruses they used, and their ultimate fates after tragedy struck, as well as providing an intriguing insight into a bygone age.
