The Geographical Distribution of Animals (Vol1&2) - With a Study of the Relations of Living and Extinct Faunas as Elucidating the Past Changes of the Earth's Surface

Alfred Russel Wallace

Sinopse

In his seminal work, "The Geographical Distribution of Animals" (Vol. 1 & 2), Alfred Russel Wallace offers a meticulous examination of the factors influencing the distribution of animal species across the globe. His comprehensive analysis is grounded in biogeography and draws upon an extensive collection of field observations, emphasizing the interplay between environment, geography, and zoological distribution. Wallace'Äôs literary style is precise and informative, indicative of the Victorian scientific discourse, and imbued with a vivid prose that reflects his passion for natural history. This work not only elucidates the patterns of species distribution but also challenges the prevailing notions of the time, laying the foundations for modern biogeographical studies. Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, emerged as a pioneering naturalist whose explorations in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago shaped his understanding of evolution and adaptation. His scientific inquiries were fueled by a profound curiosity about the natural world and a determination to understand the mechanisms of diversity. Wallace's theory of natural selection, co-developed with Darwin, amplifies the intellectual context in which this book was conceived, underscoring his significance in the history of evolutionary biology. This work is essential for scholars and enthusiasts of natural history, ecology, and evolution, as it provides an in-depth understanding of species distribution from a historical perspective. Wallace'Äôs insights remain profoundly relevant, making this dual volume an invaluable addition to any serious library on biological sciences. The meticulous detail and innovative thinking presented in these volumes will undoubtedly inspire readers to further explore the intricate tapestry of life on Earth.

Epilepsy: A Guide For Parents -...

Edmonton Epilepsy Association

If your child has been diagnosed with epilepsy, you may have questions regarding the condition. What causes epilepsy? How is it diagnosed? What are the available treatments? How can I help my child? It is not unusual for a parent to experience feelings of helplessness, fear, grief, or anger after a child has been diagnosed with epilepsy. Local epilepsy associations can provide you with valuable information regarding your concerns. Many associations have helpful resource materials on epilepsy and a staff committed to answering questions and providing information. Often associations offer in-service training to schools which educate others about the condition. Associations may also be able to provide you with support groups, trained professionals, or other families who are facing similar challenges. In some cases, a diagnosis of epilepsy may require little change in lifestyle. In other cases, there may be significant change for the child and the family. In either situation, learning about epilepsy can empower you and help you make informed decisions regarding medical treatment, care, or safety. Learning about epilepsy may also help to alleviate your own anxiety and allow you to focus on the needs of your child.

Artificial Intelligence -...

Victor Servings

The principle of artificial intelligence has been around since the 1970s. Originally, the primary objective was for computers to make choices with no input from people. However, it never ever caught on, partially because system administrators could not find out how to utilize all the information. Even if some could understand the value in the data, it was really difficult to utilize, even for engineers. 
  
On top of that, the challenge of extracting data from the simple databases of 3 decades ago was huge. Early AI applications would spit out reams of data, most of which wasn't sharable or adaptive to different business needs.
