A collection of the most fascinating letters by the world's greatest scientists.
'Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character' - Albert Einstein
Scientists are not often remembered for their character, but rather for the enduring impact of their ideas, inventions, and discoveries. Letters for the Ages: The Great Scientists delves beyond the known historical facts and narratives to uncover the personal writings of some of history's greatest thinkers and innovators, drawing together over 100 private and intimate letters from across almost 500 years of scientific history.
This collection illuminates the individuals behind humanity's greatest ideas and inventions - from the vaccine to the telephone, the engine to the X-ray - and those responsible for broadening our understanding of our world and the universe beyond. Each letter provides us with an opportunity for exploration and empathy - each a new chance to understand the desires to create, discover and improve held at the core of our humanity.
Immerse yourself in the words of some of history's greatest scientific minds, including Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Marie Curie, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Galileo Galilei, Alan Turing and Stephen Hawking amongst many others.

Free Download Legal Programming: Designing Legally Compliant RFID and Software Agent Architectures for Retail Processes and Beyond By Brian Subirana, Malcolm Bain (auth.)
2005 | 314 Pages | ISBN: 0387234144 | PDF | 5 MB
The most advanced and ambitious aspect of ecommerce technology is the use of intelligent agent-based computing. Software agents are basically autonomous software entities that can react and interact with their environment, with more advanced intelligent agents being also adaptive, sociable and mobile. Agent technology is embryonic, current agent uses including network and system management, ecommerce decision and logistic support, organization and user assistance. These activities - and the related processes and programming - present serious and unresolved legal challenges, regarding issues such as privacy, confidentiality, electronic contracts, copyright issues and taxation.LEGAL PROGRAMMING: Designing Legally Compliant RFID and Software Agent Architectures for Retail Processes and Beyond provides a process-oriented discussion of the legal concerns presented by agent-based technologies, processes and programming. It offers a general outline of the potential legal difficulties that could arise in relation to them, focusing on the programming of negotiation and contracting processes in a privacy, consumer and commercial context. The authors will elucidate how it is possible to create form of legal framework and design methodology for transaction agents, applicable in any environment and not just in a specific proprietary framework, that provides the right level of compliance and trust. Key elements considered include the design and programming of legally compliant methods, the determination of rights in respect of objects and variables, and ontologies and programming frameworks for agent interactions. Examples are used to illustrate the points made and provide a practical perspective.This focus on processes integrates both human and automatic machine activities within the same conceptual framework. An analysis and understanding of the issues raised by the process (its characteristics and procedures) is valid for both forms of activities. Also, it is a useful tool to consider the differences between agents that integrate the business processes, as part of the corporate or commercial platform (and can be designed legally accordingly), and those that are independent but then have to interact with the system -making process standardization or trading protocols obligatory. In describing the processes, the legal challenges consider the differences between human and automated performance - and then consider programming methods and tools to achieve compliance. This understanding assists in designing and building a technical architecture and related workflow, which integrates legal compliance and other requirements into the agent programming.

Free Download Robert Mason, "Legacies of Violence: Rendering the Unspeakable Past in Modern Australia"
English | ISBN: 1785334360 | 2016 | 266 pages | PDF | 1205 KB
Whether in the form of warfare, dispossession, forced migration, or social prejudice, Australia's sense of nationhood was born from―and continues to be defined by―experiences of violence. Legacies of Violence probes this brutal legacy through case studies that range from the colonial frontier to modern domestic spaces, exploring themes of empathy, isolation, and Australians' imagined place in the world. Moving beyond the primacy that is typically accorded white accounts of violence, contributors place particular emphasis on the experiences of those perceived to be on the social periphery, repositioning them at the center of Australia's relationship to global events and debates.

Quote:THE SPACE OPERA CLASSIC: Discover "one of the best long-running science fiction series in existence" (Publishers Weekly)!

A sole human diplomat navigates a world inhabited by hostile, intelligent aliens-and learns the consequences of first contact.

It had been nearly 5 centuries since the starship Phoenix, lost in space and desperately searching for the nearest G5 star, had encountered the planet of the atevi. On this alien world, law was kept by the use of registered assassination; alliances were defined by individual loyalties, not geographical borders; and war became inevitable once humans and one faction of atevi established a working relationship. It was a war that humans had no chance of winning on this planet so many light-years from home.

Now, nearly 200 years after that conflict, humanity has traded its advanced technology for peace and an island refuge that no atevi will ever visit. But then the sole human allowed into atevi society is marked for an assassin's bullet. The work of an isolated lunatic? The interests of a particular faction? Or the consequence of one human's fondness for a species which has 14 words for betrayal and not a single word for love?

Free Download Learn Faster, Perform Better: A Musician's Guide to the Neuroscience of Practicing by Molly Gebrian
English | July 30, 2024 | ISBN: 0197680070 | 272 pages | MOBI | 6.06 Mb
Practicing is an essential part of every musician's life, but we are rarely taught how to practice in the most effective and efficient way. Many of us find ourselves frustrated when we sound good in the practice room only to embarrass ourselves on stage or in front of our teachers. We feel overwhelmed by the amount of music we have to learn, unsure how to balance everything. Playing from memory can feel terrifying and an insurmountable challenge, and overcoming bad habits can seem impossible at times.

Molly Gebrian applies the science of learning and memory to practicing and performing, giving musicians the tools to learn music more effectively and experience greater confidence on stage. Researchers working in the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience have discovered many important principles about how the brain learns new information, retains this information both short- and long-term, and how to make this learning reliable in high-pressure situations like performances. Musicians often choose practice strategies that don't align well with the optimal ways in which the brain learns, leading to frustration while practicing and inconsistency in performance. The author offers a practical guide, using accessible language for non-scientists and non-academics, to help musicians get more out of their practicing by applying this research. Gebrian starts with general principles of learning and how the brain works, and then progresses through increasingly specific topics. Throughout the book, the science behind the various topics is explained in layman's terms, accompanied by practical, actionable advice that can be implemented immediately, to give musicians of all levels better tools while practicing and greater confidence on stage.

Spanish | June 27, 2024 | ISBN: 1803276657 | 720 pages | PDF | 38 Mb
En este libro se aborda por primera vez el trabajo de la industria osea en una provincia del Imperio romano. Hasta la fecha unicamente se habia tratado de forma particular el material depositado en un museo, o bien de un yacimiento concreto. Por tanto, estamos ante una obra pionera en la que podemos obtener una vision global y general de esta industria en un amplio territorio, Hispania. En este aspecto, en este libro se muestra las peculiaridades que se encuentran en cada territorio, asi como las influencias y conexiones locales, regionales, y con con el resto del Imperio. En una primera parte se aborda la situacion general en que se encuentra la investigacion, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. A partir de aqui, nos centramos en los talleres hispanos y su produccion, para proseguir y profundizar, a traves de una clasificacion sencilla y abierta (con la finalidad de que se puedan ir incorporando nuevas piezas), en un analisis pormenorizado de las distintos objetos. Para una mejor comprension y manejo, la obra cuenta con abundantes imagenes en las que se puede apreciar las caracteristicas descritas y sus pequenas o grandes diferencias. El trabajo se completa con una descripcion detallada de cada grupo y posibles variantes, localizacion y areas por donde se difunde, cronologia de la pieza (cuando es posible) o de la agrupacion por comparacion, y, sobre todo, un analisis de conjunto con el que se pretende conocer mejor el grupo a tratar. Se incide de forma especial en aquellas piezas que no son tan frecuentes en los muestrarios que conocemos.
