Standing Up to China - How a Whistleblower Risked Everything for His Country

Ashley Yablon

Sinopsis

What would you do if your ambitious career suddenly transformed into a deadly game of international espionage? A true-life thriller equal to that of a heart-stopping John Grisham novel, Ashley Yablon's story takes readers into the dark crevices of deceit and corporate greed of one of the world's most powerful Chinese telecom giants. As the freshly minted General Counsel for telecom company ZTE, Yablon uncovers an illegal scheme selling billions of dollars' worth of surveillance equipment to embargoed countries. If left unchecked, these transactions could threaten the security of the United States at the highest levels. Instead of turning a blind eye, Yablon risks everything, including his life and career, to uphold justice - leading him down a course of personal and professional destruction. In this modern-day story of David and Goliath, Yablon goes head-to-head with some of the most dangerous and powerful Chinese crime bosses in the world.

Quantum Physics - What Everyone...

Michael G. Raymer

Around 1900, physicists started to discover particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and with these discoveries believed they could predict the internal behavior of the atom. However, once their predictions were compared to the results of experiments in the real world, it became clear that the principles of classical physics and mechanics were far from capable of explaining phenomena on the atomic scale. With this realization came the advent of quantum physics, one of the most important intellectual movements in human history.Today, quantum physics is everywhere: it explains how our computers work, how lasers transmit information across the Internet, and allows scientists to predict accurately the behavior of nearly every particle in nature. Its application continues to be fundamental in the investigation of the most expansive questions related to our world and the universe.However, while the field and principles of quantum physics are known to have nearly limitless applications, the fundamental reasons why this is the case are far less understood. In Quantum Physics: What Everyone Needs to Know, quantum physicist Michael G. Raymer distills the basic principles of such an abstract field, and addresses the many ways quantum physics is a key factor in today's science and beyond. The book tackles questions as broad as the meaning of quantum entanglement and as specific and timely as why governments worldwide are spending billions of dollars developing quantum technology research. Raymer's list of topics is diverse, and showcases the sheer range of questions and ideas in which quantum physics is involved.From applications like data encryption and quantum computing to principles and concepts like "quantum nonlocality" and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Quantum Physics: What Everyone Needs to Know is a wide-reaching introduction to a nearly ubiquitous scientific topic.

QUANTUM PHYSICS The Complete...

ANTONIO JAIMEZ

Do You Feel As If The Mysteries Of The Universe Are Beyond Your Grasp? Have You Tried To Immerse Yourself In The Fascinating World Of Quantum Physics Only To Find Yourself Lost Among Complex Terminology And Abstract Concepts? Perhaps You Feel Like A Tourist In A Strange Land, Overwhelmed By The Wonders Around You But Without A Guide To Help You Understand What You Are Seeing.
Why Do Other Quantum Physics Books Fail To Meet Your Expectations?
Many Books On Quantum Physics Fail In One Critical Respect: They Take For Granted That Readers Already Have Deep Prior Knowledge. These Texts Often Focus On The Technical Details, Obviating The Fact That Most Readers First Need An Intuitive Understanding Of The Fundamental Concepts. As A Result, You Have Probably Encountered Works That Tell You About Wave-Particle Duality, Quantum Superposition, Or The Uncertainty Principle, Without First Having Established A Solid Foundation That Allows You To Assimilate These Concepts Effectively.
But What If The Problem Is Not That Quantum Physics Is Too Complicated, But That It Has Not Been Presented In The Right Way? That's Where This Magical And Fascinating Read Changes The Game.
This Book Has Been Designed With You In Mind. Instead Of Throwing You Into The Deep End Of The Quantum Ocean, It Takes You By The Hand Through A Journey Of Discovery. It Starts With The Basics Of Quantum Physics In Chapter 1, Establishing A Solid Foundation Before Introducing More Complex Ideas Such As Quantum Entanglement In Chapter 4 Or Quantum Superposition In Chapter 6.
It Is Not Only A Journey Of Learning, But Also Of Reflection. The Book Raises Fundamental Questions About How We Understand The World. In Chapter 16, For Example, You Can Explore The Relationship Between Quantum Physics And Consciousness, Which Will Surely Give You A New Perspective On Your Place In The Universe.

Human Cloning

IntroBooks Team

During December 2005, there was an investigation that was conducted at the Seoul National University (SNA), South Korea had observed that the scientist named Hwang Woo Suk was responsible for fabricating the results on the deriving of the patient-matched stem cells out of the cloned embryos. This was the major setback in this field. During May 2005, Hwang made an announcement that a major advance in the creation of the human embryos in using the various cloning methods as well as in the isolation of human stem cells out of the cloned embryos. The series of developments and the advancements have contributed significantly to the existing debate during the 109th Congress upon the ethical and moral implications of cloning of the human beings. The medical scientists in various other labs, like the University of California at San Francisco and the Harvard University intended to produce the cloned embryos of human beings such as for deriving the stem cells for several medical researches on Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and several other diseases and illness.
