    Learn modern Angular development and jumpstart your web development journey
    Book Description
    Angular is one of the most popular and powerful frameworks for building dynamic, scalable web applications. With its robust ecosystem, it’s widely used to create high-performance, enterprise-level applications.
    This book offers a hands-on approach to mastering Angular, guiding you from setting up your development environment to exploring advanced topics like unit testing. You’ll start by learning how to set up Angular and create your first application, followed by gaining a solid understanding of TypeScript, enhancing your ability to work with Angular’s strongly typed features.
    The book covers core building blocks like components, directives, pipes, and services, providing a strong foundation for robust applications. You’ll also explore Angular’s reactivity system and how to handle asynchronous data to build dynamic UIs. It dives into component communication, data flow, and both Reactive and Template-Driven forms, helping you implement form validation and handle user input effectively.
    Additionally, you’ll master Angular’s routing system, use Jest for unit testing, and explore new features like control flow syntax, Standalone components, and Signals. By the end, you’ll be confident in building and managing Angular applications.

    “Takes the reader into the Pacific war and offers a front-row seat to the exploits of the Wright Project and their highly innovative technology.” —War History Network 
     
    In August 1943, a highly classified US Army Air Force unit, code-named the “Wright Project,” departed Langley Field for Guadalcanal in the South Pacific to join the fight against the Empire of Japan. Operating independently, under sealed orders drafted at the highest levels of Army Air Force, the Wright Project was unique, both in terms of the war-fighting capabilities provided by classified systems the ten B-24 Liberators of this small group of airmen brought to the war, and in the success these “crash-built” technologies allowed. The Wright airmen would fly only at night, usually as lone hunters of enemy ships. In so doing they would pave the way for the United States to enter and dominate a new dimension of war in the air for generations to come.  
     
    This is their story, from humble beginnings at MIT’s Radiation Lab and hunting U-boats off America’s eastern shore, through to the campaigns of the war in the Pacific in their two-year march toward Tokyo. The Wright Project would prove itself to be a combat leader many times over and an outstanding technology innovator, evolving to become the 868th Bomb Squadron.  
     
    Comprehensive and highly personal, this story can now be revealed for the very first time, based on official sources, and interviews with the young men who flew into the night.

    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.

    In the mid-eighteenth century, most of the Mediterranean coastline and its hinterlands were controlled by the Ottoman Empire, a vast Islamic power regarded by Christian Europe with awe and fear. By the end of the First World War, however, this great civilisation had been completely subjugated, and its territories occupied by European powers. Sea of Troubles is the definitive account of the European conquest of the Levant and North Africa over three centuries. Ian Rutledge reveals the intense imperial rivalry between six European powers - Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Austria-Hungary and Russia - who all jostled for control of the trade, lands and wealth of the Islamic Mediterranean. The competition between these states made their conquest a far more difficult and extended task than they encountered elsewhere in the world. Yet, as new contenders entered the contest, and as rivalries intensified in the early twentieth century, events would spiral out of control as the continent headed towards the First World War.
