Sinopsis

In "Origin of Cultivated Plants," Alphonse de Candolle revolutionizes our understanding of plant domestication, meticulously cataloging the origins and evolutionary trajectories of various cultivated species. De Candolle blends empirical observation with a systematic approach, examining not only geographical distribution but also the intricate relationships between humans and their agricultural environments. His work is notable for its scientific rigor and clear prose, establishing a foundation for future botanical and agricultural studies while situating cultivated plants within a broader ecological and historical context. Alphonse de Candolle was a pioneering Swiss botanist whose extensive studies of plant taxonomy, melancholia resulting from the loss of family, and a passionate dedication to the natural sciences profoundly shaped his insights into agriculture. Influenced by the early principles of evolutionary theory and a systematic observational approach, de Candolle sought to clarify the complexities surrounding plant origins and their cultural significance for societies across the globe. His scholarly contributions laid the groundwork for our contemporary understanding of botany and genetics. "Origin of Cultivated Plants" is an essential reading for scholars, agriculturalists, and garden enthusiasts alike. Its comprehensive examination invites readers to reflect on the vital relationship between humans and the plants they cultivate, all while presenting a rich historical narrative that underscores the significance of biodiversity and sustainable agricultural practices in an ever-evolving world.

    In the world of data warehousing, the accuracy and performance of models are crucial for effective data analysis and decision-making. "Model Evaluation" is a comprehensive book that provides a detailed overview of the evaluation process for data warehouse models. From understanding the basics of data warehousing to evaluating the performance of different types of models, this book covers the key concepts, techniques, and best practices for evaluating the accuracy and performance of data warehouse models. 
    The book begins with an introduction to data warehousing and its importance in modern organizations. It then delves into the various types of data warehouse models, including relational, dimensional, and multi-dimensional models, and their unique features and use cases. The book explores the challenges and considerations in evaluating the performance and accuracy of these different types of models, including data quality, data completeness, data consistency, and data timeliness. 
    "Model Evaluation" provides a comprehensive overview of the different evaluation techniques and methodologies used in data warehousing, such as benchmarking, performance metrics, data profiling, and data validation. It covers the best practices for evaluating the accuracy of data warehouse models, including data validation and verification techniques, data profiling and cleansing methods, and statistical analysis. 
    The book also discusses the importance of metadata in the evaluation process and how it can provide context and understanding of the data in the data warehouse. It covers topics such as data definitions, data models, data sources, and data transformations, and how they can impact the accuracy and performance of the data warehouse models.

    Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
      
    This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.

    Aerospace engineering encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including aerodynamics, which studies how air flows around objects like aircraft wings; propulsion systems, which power vehicles through the atmosphere or space; materials science, which focuses on developing lightweight yet durable materials for aerospace applications; and avionics, which involves designing and implementing electronic systems for navigation, communication, and control. 
      
    Additionally, aerospace engineers work on structural design to ensure that vehicles can withstand the stresses of flight and space travel, as well as thermal management to regulate temperatures in extreme environments. They also contribute to the development of guidance and control systems to maintain stability and control during flight. 
      
    Moreover, aerospace engineering extends beyond Earth's atmosphere, with space exploration being a significant area of focus. This includes designing spacecraft for missions to satellites, communication and observation, etc. Overall, aerospace engineering plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the universe and expanding our capabilities beyond the confines of our planet.
