Synopsis

Classic Arcade Boom explores the captivating history of classic arcade games, examining their technological innovation, cultural impact, and economic forces that propelled their rise and eventual reshaping. It reveals how inserting a quarter unlocked not just a game but a cultural phenomenon, transforming arcades into social hubs.

 
The book emphasizes that the arcade era was more than a fleeting fad, representing a unique blend of technological progress, social trends, and economic factors that fostered a distinct subculture. The book delves into the technological advancements of the 1970s and 1980s, from early vector graphics to advanced sprite-based systems, making complex concepts accessible to all readers. It highlights how arcades influenced music, fashion, and language, becoming integral social gathering places. This history also examines the business models and marketing strategies that defined the arcade industry. Arcade machines became more than just a game, they became a cultural touchstone.

 
The book unfolds by first introducing the key technologies that made arcade games possible. It then explores how arcades became social gathering places before analyzing the economic aspects. The book concludes by exploring the decline of the classic arcade and the resilience of classic games through modern re-releases and dedicated collectors.

Battlefields of The Future: The...

Dr. Nick Coman, I. A.I.

A 36‑lecture audio course on how wars are actually fought in the machine age—from seabed cables and city power grids to low‑Earth orbit, cislunar space, and the neural loop between a human and a weapon. We break the kill chain open: sensing and space‑based cueing; edge compute and target fusion; communications that survive jamming; and the things that do damage—mines, missiles, loitering munitions, directed energy, electromagnetic pulse, and code.
We make the stack legible for operators and serious thinkers alike: synthetic aperture radar becomes SAR; high‑altitude long endurance becomes HALE; link budgets and laser crosslinks stop being magic and start being math you can reason about in words. You will see how orbital “stalkers” shadow satellites, why stratospheric platforms matter when air defenses make manned ISR bleed, how decoys and digital camouflage fracture an adversary’s picture, and where the automation boundary really sits when AI runs parts of the kill web with a human on the loop.
Engineering reality, not brochure fog, sets the pace. We trace power budgets, attrition math, and reconstitution timelines; map chokepoints in chips, propellants, optics, batteries, and shipyards; and follow sanctions, export controls, and standards as operational constraints, not afterthoughts.
The glidepath is explicit. 2025 to 2035: proliferated space, cheap autonomy, hard lessons from electronic warfare. 2035 to 2050: directed‑energy baselines, resilient meshes, smarter decoys. 2050 to 2075 and beyond: cislunar logistics with teeth, human performance management that is governed not ghoulish, brain–computer interfaces that shorten loops without erasing judgment.
Rigorous, unsentimental, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to modern combat systems—how they are built, how they break, and how they win.

Obesity - The other pandemic of...

Ada Cuevas, Donna Ryan

Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

Types of UFOs Observed in History

Martin K. Ettington

My goal in this book is to show the different types of UFOs reported throughout history and today. 
I’m not trying to prove whether these ships are real or not. I just thought that given the many thousands of sightings of UFOs there should be some commonalities between the sightings. 
Some of the questions I want to answer include: 
Are there any trends in these sightings? 
Is there an evolution in the design of these vehicles over time? 
Are there some common designs over time? 
Also, some of the UFOs sighted are likely fakes or secret projects built by the US government. I tried to show that information too. 
Just due to the number of stars in our galaxy I’m convinced that Aliens exist and have probably visited our planet thousands or even millions of year in the past-in addition to visiting in the present. 
This collection of historical photos, drawings, and descriptions should provide you with a narrative as to how these sightings have changed over time.
