Sinopse

Footsteps Forgotten unveils Earth's hidden narratives by exploring ichnology, the study of trace fossils, focusing on fossil footprints. This unique approach sheds light on ancient migrations and pivotal moments in human evolution and prehistory. The book argues that footprints offer a direct record of past life, revealing how our ancestors moved, lived, and interacted with their environment. For example, the Laetoli footprints in Tanzania provide a snapshot of early hominin bipedalism, capturing a moment millions of years ago. It highlights the importance of these often-overlooked clues for understanding our shared past. The book provides a multidisciplinary perspective, drawing from earth sciences, paleontology, archaeology, geology, and anthropology, making it accessible to a broad audience. It emphasizes the significance of ancient migration routes as arteries of cultural exchange, technological diffusion, and genetic mixing. Footsteps Forgotten progresses through fundamental concepts, case studies of significant footprint sites, and a synthesis of findings to present a broader picture of human history. High-resolution photographs, maps, and 3D models visually enhance the reader's understanding. It begins by introducing the basics of footprint analysis and geological preservation, then delves into global case studies illustrating how footprint evidence has reshaped our understanding of specific historical or prehistoric events. The final section synthesizes these findings, discussing implications for understanding modern human behavior and challenges.

A New Concept of the Universe

Walter Russell

*Walter Russell's* *A New Concept of the Universe* offers a revolutionary perspective on the nature of reality, blending science, philosophy, and metaphysics to present a unified model of the cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, Russell challenges conventional scientific theories about atomic structure, energy, and matter, proposing instead a dynamic, rhythmic universe governed by principles of balance and unity. He emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, where opposites such as light and darkness, motion and stillness, continually interplay to sustain the cosmic order. Russell's work seeks to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, offering readers a profound understanding of the universe's underlying intelligence and the role of consciousness in shaping reality. Through this book, he invites readers to reconsider humanity's place in the cosmos and embrace a more holistic vision of existence.

The Decision Intelligence...

L. Y. Pratt, N.E. Malcolm

Decision intelligence (DI) has been widely named as a top technology trend for several years, and Gartner reports that more than a third of large organizations are adopting it. Some even say that DI is the next step in the evolution of AI. Many software vendors offer DI solutions today, as they help organizations implement their evidence-based or data-driven decision strategies. 
 
 
 
But until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision making and integrate their decisions with data. 
 
 
 
With this book, authors L. Y. Pratt and N. E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes, with a focus on systems that act in an advisory, human-in-the-loop capacity to decision makers. 
 
 
 
This handbook addresses three widespread data-driven decision-making problems: 
 
 
 
● How can decision makers use data and technology to ensure desired outcomes? 
 
 
 
● How can technology teams communicate effectively with decision makers to maximize the return on their data and technology investments? 
 
 
 
● How can organizational decision makers assess and improve their decisions over time?

Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads...

Irvin Muchnick

“Football’s massive popularity is undeniable, as are the many reasons players and fans are drawn to the game. But what is also undeniable is the game’s brutality and the troubling aspects of football culture at all levels. To whatever extent the reader shares Irv Muchnick’s perspective and conclusions, the evidence and arguments he presents deserve thoughtful attention.” — Bob Costas, Emmy Award–winning sportscaster 
		 
“Muchnick’s jeremiad digs deeper than ever into the greed and hypocrisy of high school and college football, and the trail of broken bodies left in their wake. His information on the perils of conditioning is essential reading and might save your kid’s life.” — Robert Lipsyte, author of The Contender and SportsWorld
		 
Football’s concussion crisis is well known, with our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that kid players across the continent die every year before a single ball is snapped — just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches? And then, when the unimaginable happens, the football world simply buries the evidence, pays off victims’ families, and moves on …
		 
Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads presents the shocking stories of young men struck down by exertional heatstroke and other, often unacknowledged, causes. Taking the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport’s underreported worst tragedies and cover-ups it makes the case that no matter how much we enjoy America’s most popular sport at elite levels it belongs out of our public schools and off our public fields.

Developing Mobile Apps - From...

Craig Dames

The mobile app industry has rapidly evolved over the past decade, shaping how people interact with technology daily. With millions of apps available across various platforms, understanding the mobile app landscape is crucial for anyone looking to develop a successful application. This chapter explores the different types of mobile apps, emerging trends in app development, and the factors to consider when choosing the right platform for your project.
Mobile applications generally fall into three main categories: native apps, web apps, and hybrid apps. Native apps are built specifically for a particular operating system, such as iOS or Android, using platform-specific programming languages like Swift or Kotlin. They offer high performance, seamless integration with device features, and a superior user experience. Web apps, on the other hand, run on web browsers and are built using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. While they are accessible across devices, they lack the speed and functionality of native apps. Hybrid apps combine elements of both native and web applications, using frameworks like React Native or Flutter to develop cross-platform solutions that work on multiple operating systems with a single codebase.
As mobile technology advances, several trends continue to shape the app development industry. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being integrated into apps to provide personalized user experiences, from virtual assistants to predictive analytics. Augmented reality and virtual reality have also gained traction, particularly in gaming, retail, and education. Another significant trend is the rise of 5G technology, which enables faster data transfer, lower latency, and enhanced app performance.
