  An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind.
  
  Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems.
  
  In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

  Python for Beginners -...

  Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time. 
  This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better. 
  By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further. 
  Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do. 
  Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In the 21st century, astronomy has entered a new age—not just of discovery, but of wonder. 
  Cosmic Frontiers journeys through the most profound questions now emerging from modern science: 
  Why do galaxies form earlier than they should? What is dark matter, dark energy, and the quantum fabric of reality? Is life common among the stars—or is consciousness itself a cosmic phenomenon? 
  From the James Webb Space Telescope’s revelations of ancient galaxies to the search for biosignatures on distant exoplanets, from the detection of gravitational waves to the mysteries of quantum gravity and the multiverse, this book weaves together science, philosophy and the human spirit into a single cosmic narrative. 
  Written in vivid, poetic prose, Cosmic Frontiers is not only about what we have discovered—it is about what we still don’t understand and why those unanswered questions may be the most important of all. 
  For readers who loved Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, The Order of Time, or Cosmos, this is a visionary exploration of where science meets meaning — at the edge of the known universe.

  NASA’s Space Race Programs: The...

  Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration. 
  The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade. Landing on the Moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government’s urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). In 1957, at a time when people were concerned about communism and nuclear war, many Americans were dismayed by news that the Soviet Union was successfully launching satellites into orbit. 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions. Of course, by the time it was all done, Americans sure felt the cost was worth it as they watched the first live shots of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the Moon. As he left his first footprint on the Moon, Armstrong transmitted one of the 20th century’s most famous phrases: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
