Beschreibung

Travels on the Amazon presents adventurous chronicles of Alfred Russel Wallace's travels to the Amazon rainforests of Brazil in South America. Inspired by the travelogues of earlier and contemporary traveling naturalists, including Charles Darwin and specifically William Henry Edwards, Wallace was determined to go on an expedition abroad as a naturalist. In 1848, he and Henry Bates left for Brazil. They intended to gather insects and other animal specimens in the Amazon Rainforest for their private collections. They wanted to sell the duplicates to museums and collectors in Britain to fund the trip. Wallace also hoped to gather evidence of the changes in the species. Wallace and Bates spent most of their first year collecting near Belém, then examined inland separately. They sometimes met to discuss their findings. Wallace spent four years analyzing the inhabitants and the languages he encountered, along with the geography, flora, and fauna. After returning to the U.K., he wrote several papers and books about his ventures and findings. This wonderful book is one of his impressive travel books.

    Can Medicine be Cured?

    A fierce, honest, elegant and often hilarious debunking of the great fallacies that drive modern medicine. 
    Seamus O'Mahony writes about the illusion of progress, the notion that more and more diseases can be 'conquered' ad infinitum. He punctures the idiocy of consumerism, the idea that healthcare can be endlessly adapted to the wishes of individuals. He excoriates the claims of Big Science, the spending of vast sums on research follies like the Human Genome Project. And he highlights one of the most dangerous errors of industrialized medicine: an over-reliance on metrics, and a neglect of things that can't easily be measured, like compassion. 
    'A deeply fascinating and rousing book' MAIL ON SUNDAY 
    'What makes this book a delightful, if unsettling read, is not just O'Mahony's scholarly and witty prose, but also his brutal honesty' THE TIMES

    DESCRIPTION 
    Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications. 
    Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students. 
    
    The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book. 
    
    
    Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary. 
    
    These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom. 
    
    Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition. 
    
    We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.

    This bundle of books (4 in 1) takes readers on an enlightening journey through the everyday applications of physics, with a focus on the profound impact that physics has on our daily lives. The book draws on the spirit of the legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics, offering accessible and engaging explanations of complex physical concepts. From the basic principles of motion to the way light and sound interact with our world, the text explores how fundamental physics shapes the way we experience reality. It delves into the physics of everyday things, helping readers understand the mechanics behind familiar objects and activities, such as how refrigerators work or why the sky is blue. 
    The book also provides in-depth insight into the physics of light and color, explaining the fascinating behavior of electromagnetic waves and the science behind vision, color perception, and optical phenomena. Additionally, it explores the physics of sound, from the science of musical instruments to the way sound waves travel through air. This comprehensive approach to applied physics highlights the relevance of physics in our day-to-day existence and illustrates how even the most basic physical principles underpin the technology and experiences we often take for granted.
