Greek Coastal Shipping and Cabotage

There are two “tools” used for this purpose: a collection of published and unpublished texts (approximately 20 in number) on the subject of coastal shipping in Greece, along with the subsequent commentary provided, viewed, on the one hand, through the lens of the conditions prevailing in coastal shipping over the past 15 years, and, on the other hand, through the lens of current conditions and what the future holds.

An elderly chemist recalls...

This book is a narrative written by the distinguished chemist and successful entrepreneur Alexandros Stavropoulos during the final years of his life. In addition to his youth and college years, he vividly describes his scientific concerns and his struggle to keep BIORYL, Inc. independent and dedicated to research, just as he had envisioned it in his earliest scientific endeavors.

Life at the Molecular Level: Behold, Man (1. Days of 2007) (2nd edition)

This book attempts to bring together the knowledge that governs the earthly and the human. This synthesis simplifies and highlights the boundless beauty of the world we live in, making it accessible to anyone who wishes to experience it. This first volume of the book is written as simply as possible, so that the extensive knowledge accumulated in recent years regarding the “biological” human being and his problems can be made accessible to anyone who wishes to learn about them.

Life at the Molecular Level: Behold, Man (2. A masterclass in humility)

Documentation, Digitization, and Utilization of the Eugenides Foundation's Collections

The Eugenides Foundation participated in the “Information Society 2000–2006” operational program under the Third Community Support Framework (CSF) with a project aimed at cataloging, utilizing, and promoting its collections. The areas of the Eugenides Foundation that were included in the program were the writing and publication of textbooks in collaboration with the relevant ministries, the operation of a modern technical library, the Planetarium, and the Interactive Science and Technology Exhibition.

Engineering Mechanics—Strength of Materials

This book is intended for students at Higher Vocational Training Schools (SAEK), whose curriculum includes the courses “Mechanics—Strength of Materials” and “Strength of Materials.” This section describes the fundamental laws of mechanics governing translational and rotational motion, as well as the concepts of force, torque, and their resultants, work, energy, and power, and the conditions of equilibrium for a rigid body are analyzed. It also covers the basic concepts of Strength of Materials and presents the simple stresses of tension, compression, shear, bending, and torsion, the concept of combined stresses, as well as the phenomenon of buckling.
