50 Ideas You Really Need to Know: Universe

EPUB | 1.51 MB | 208 pages | English | 2011
For millennia humanity has gazed in wonder at the night sky, tracked the motions of the planets and attempted to explain our place in the Universe. But only in our own time has the true scale, the astonishing variety and the remarkable strangeness of the cosmos come clearly into focus.

The pace and sophistication of recent scientific discovery has been breathtaking, but breakthroughs are often difficult to understand and their impact is hard to fully appreciate. In 50 Ideas You Really Need to Know: Universe, Joanne Baker clearly and concisely explains all of the essential concepts, major discoveries and the very latest thinking in astrophysics, including: the basic principles of astronomy - from heliocentrism to Newton's theory of optics; the constituent parts of the Universe, its creation and evolution; the key concepts of cosmology including the theory of relativity, supermassive black holes and 'multiverses'; the very latest developments in our understanding of quasars, exoplanets and astrobiology.

From dwarf planets to dark energy; and from the Big Bang to the death of stars, this book is the perfect introduction to the cutting-edge science that is shaping our understanding of our place in the Universe and that could lead to the next great discovery - the detection of life beyond Earth.

50 Big Ideas You Really Need to Know

In a series of 50 accessible and lucidly written essays, Ben Dupre probes some of the most significant ideas in politics, philosophy, religion, economics, science and the arts.

Practical Algorithms

PDF | 5 MB | 150 pages | English | George Yool | 2014
An algorithm is a solution to a class of problems generally contained in programming unit called a module and accessed by one or more objected oriented programs. A class on algorithms is a class on problem solving with the expectation of marketable results. This requires a textbook that actually provides problem solving tools. Solving the problems is hard enough. The tools should be the easy part. Practical Algorithms provides a complete toolbox from meeting the client to rolling out a scalable solution fitting the client’s needs.

The typical algorithms text focuses on pseudocode, which at best lays out business rules, and at worst solves nothing. As such, pseudocode is given minimal attention. Using MCSE, MCSD, and other marketable standards as a basic guideline, this text applies practical experiences in the field and classroom to make this extremely difficult material as simple as possible. This book took a failed class at multiple institutions, made the concepts accessible, and led every student to not only succeed in the class, but to have what they needed in their careers.

The first subject created a line of grateful engineers and project managers on the first day of class. The subject: sales, from meet and greet to proposal and contract writing to closing the deal. Every class meeting we systematically explored vital elements to breaking down and solving problems from system and network architectures to hard coding and n-tiered databases. This book turned a failed class into a success story.

Logo Modernism

PDF | 28.5 MB | Scanned version | 432 pages | English, French, German | 2019
Modernist aesthetics in architecture, art, and product design are familiar to many. In soaring glass structures or minimalist canvases, we recognize a time of vast technological advance which affirmed the power of human beings to reshape their environment and to break, radically, from the conventions or constraints of the past. Less well-known, but no less fascinating, is the distillation of modernism in graphic design.

This unprecedented TASCHEN publication, authored by Jens Müller, brings together approximately 6,000 trademarks, focused on the period 1940–1980, to examine how modernist attitudes and imperatives gave birth to corporate identity. Ranging from media outfits to retail giants, airlines to art galleries, the sweeping survey is organized into three design-orientated chapters: Geometric, Effect, and Typographic. Each chapter is then sub-divided into form and style led sections such as alphabet, overlay, dots and squares.

Alongside the comprehensive catalog, the book features an introduction from Jens Müller on the history of logos, and an essay by R. Roger Remington on modernism and graphic design. Eight designer profiles and eight instructive case studies are also included, with a detailed look at the life and work of such luminaries as Paul Rand, Yusaku Kamekura, and Anton Stankowski, and at such significant projects as Fiat, The Daiei Inc., and the Mexico Olympic Games of 1968. An unrivaled resource for graphic designers, advertisers, and branding specialists, Logo Modernism is equally fascinating to anyone interested in social, cultural, and corporate history, and in the sheer persuasive power of image and form.

Shaped by its richly diverse cultural heritage and by immensely significant historical events, the Indian subcontinent holds a unique place in world civilization. Perhaps no era is more relevant to our understanding of how present-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh came to be than the nearly two centuries of British rule, beginning in 1757, during which India emerged as the most valuable colony of any empire in history. This was a period of seminal transformation and change—for the subcontinent, for Britain, and for the world.

How Rich Countries Got Rich... and Why Poor Countries Stay Poor

EPUB | 11.18 MB | 387 pages | English | October 1st, 2019
A maverick economist explains how protectionism makes nations rich, free trade keeps them poor—-and how rich countries make sure to keep it that way.

Throughout history, some combination of government intervention, protectionism, and strategic investment has driven successful development everywhere from Renaissance Italy to the modern Far East. Yet despite the demonstrable success of this approach, development economists largely ignore it and insist instead on the importance of free trade. Somehow, the thing that made rich nations rich supposedly won't work on poor countries anymore.

Leading heterodox economist Erik Reinert's invigorating history of economic development shows how Western economies were founded on protectionism and state activism and only later promoted free trade, when it worked to their advantage. In the tug-of-war between the gospel of government intervention and free-market purists, the issue is not that one is more correct, but that the winning nation tends to favor whatever benefits them most.

As Western countries begin to sense that the rules of the game they set were rigged, Reinert's classic book gains new urgency. His unique and edifying approach to the history of economic development is critical reading for anyone who wants to understand how we got here and what to do next, especially now that we aren't so sure we'll be the winners anymore.
