  • A Matter of Taste - A Farmers' Market Devotee's Semi-Reluctant Argument for Inviting Scientific Innovation to the Dinner Table - cover

    A Matter of Taste - A Farmers'...

    How farmer's markets and organic produce became synonymous with "good food" and why they shouldn't be.
       
    How did farmer's markets, nose-to-tail, locavorism, organic eating, CSAs, whole foods, and Whole Foods become synonymous with “good food”? And are these practices really producing food that is morally, environmentally, or economically sustainable? Rebecca Tucker's compelling, reported argument shows that we must work to undo the moral coding that we use to interpret how we come by what we put on our plates. She investigates not only the danger of the accepted rhetoric, but the innovative work happening on farms and university campuses to create a future where nutritious food is climate-change resilient, hardy enough to grow season after season, and, most importantly, available to all—not just those willing or able to fork over the small fortune required for a perfect heirloom tomato.
       
    Tucker argues that arriving at that future will require a broad cognitive shift away from the idea that farmer's markets, community gardens, and organic food production is the only sustainable way forward; more than that, it will require the commitment of research firms, governments, corporations, and post-secondary institutions to develop and implement agri­science innovations that do more than improve the bottom line. A Matter of Taste asks us to rethink what good food really is.

    One of the core things the firms require to innovate, grow, and make decisions within the digital economy is data. Managing this, however, has been a complex task that's not only technological but also strategic vision combined with great understanding concepts in databases. Written to help readers with the complexities in database systems with wise, major decisions, this book, "Choosing the Right Database Management Strategy: Behind the Scenes of Data: Principles and Practices of Database Management " has been authored for a purpose. 
    From new trends to database models and the optimization strategies that are current trends, this book mentions some of the fundamental ideas related to database administration. The reader will clearly get the point in relational and NoSQL databases, as well as hybrid systems that take advantage of both methodologies. Useful frameworks are also available regarding performance optimization, data integrity assurance, and selection of storage strategies. 
    Organized into five exhaustive parts, following a step-by-step methodology, this book would appeal to every kind of skill level. However, while such mature professionals are going to tackle topics like scalability, distributed systems, and storage in the cloud, beginners get their basic concepts defined concisely. 
    This book has something unique- the fusion between theory and practice. It's because it harmoniously fuses practical examples to informative information equipped for the precise challenge that's required to overcome a specific reader's data-setting settings. Through this book, you will gather information that should allow you fully exploit your data as a student, data professional, or enthusiast.

  • The Dakota Access Pipeline Protests - Indigenous Rights and Environmental Concerns in Modern America - cover

    The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests were a defining moment in the intersection of environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights. Proposed to transport crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, the pipeline’s route crossed sacred lands and the Missouri River, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage. While its proponents touted economic benefits and energy security, the project drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies, sparking a global movement.  
      
    At its core, the DAPL protests highlighted long-standing issues of environmental justice and the marginalization of Indigenous peoples in America. For centuries, Native American communities have faced the erosion of their sovereignty and disregard for their land rights. The pipeline’s route through unceded treaty lands underscored systemic failures to honor agreements and protect sacred sites. Moreover, it served as a stark reminder of the broader environmental challenges tied to fossil fuel dependence and its impact on climate change.  
      
    The Standing Rock protests grew into a powerful grassroots campaign that united activists, environmentalists, and Indigenous groups from around the world. The movement’s significance lay not only in its immediate objectives—stopping the pipeline—but also in its ability to bring visibility to Indigenous struggles and inspire global solidarity. Social media played an instrumental role in amplifying the protests, creating a platform for underrepresented voices and rallying international support.

    Madison & Adams presents to you this meticulously edited Tesla collection. The edition includes the works of this visionary scientist, his autobiography and the extensive biography dedicated to his various  areas of Tesla's research and inventions . 
    
    Biography "The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla"  is a comprehensive compilation of Tesla's pioneering activities, research, and works. The ideas and inventions are conveyed in their own way, determining by their own place by intrinsic merit. But with the fact that Tesla blazed a path that electrical development would later follow for years to come, the compiler of the book endeavored to bring together all of Tesla's work up to that point in Tesla's life. Aside from indicating the range of his thought and originality of his mind, the book has historical value because it describes the scope of Tesla's early inventions. Tesla is recognized as one of the foremost electrical researchers and inventors and, at the time of publication, the book was the "bible" of every electrical engineer practicing the profession.
    This edition includes as well the writings of the scientist himself:
