Sinopsis

Meteor Impact Events explores the dramatic history of collisions between Earth and space rocks, revealing how these catastrophic events have profoundly shaped our planet. It examines major impacts, such as the Chicxulub impact linked to dinosaur extinction, and the Tunguska event, a rare airburst. Such events highlight the ongoing threat from near-Earth objects. The book begins with the physics of impact cratering and then analyzes key events using geological strata, geochemical anomalies, and historical accounts. It integrates diverse scientific disciplines to offer a holistic understanding. By synthesizing perspectives from astronomy, geology, and environmental science, Meteor Impact Events provides a unique view of Earth's dynamic history. The text progresses logically, connecting geological history to contemporary planetary defense efforts. This book offers a comprehensive, accessible overview suitable for anyone interested in earth sciences and planetary science.

    Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world. It is ubiquitous—in our homes and offices, in the present and most certainly in the future. Today, we encounter AI as our distant ancestors once encountered fire. If we manage AI well, it will become a force for good, lighting the way to many transformative inventions. If we deploy it thoughtlessly, it will advance beyond our control. If we wield it for destruction, it will fan the flames of a new kind of war, one that holds democracy in the balance. As AI policy experts Ben Buchanan and Andrew Imbrie show in The New Fire, few choices are more urgent—or more fascinating—than how we harness this technology and for what purpose. 
     
     
      
    The new fire has three sparks: data, algorithms, and computing power. These components fuel viral disinformation campaigns, new hacking tools, and military weapons that once seemed like science fiction. To autocrats, AI offers the prospect of centralized control at home and asymmetric advantages in combat. It is easy to assume that democracies, bound by ethical constraints and disjointed in their approach, will be unable to keep up. But such a dystopia is hardly preordained. Combining an incisive understanding of technology with shrewd geopolitical analysis, Buchanan and Imbrie show how AI can work for democracy. With the right approach, technology need not favor tyranny.

    This is small copy of introduction of the book: Giordano Bruno was a 16th-century Italian friar, philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, and occultist. He is best known for his cosmological theories, which anticipated the Copernican model of the universe and held that the stars are distant suns surrounded by their own planets. Bruno's ideas were considered heretical by the Catholic Church, and he was burned at the stake in Rome in 1600. 
    Bruno was born in Nola, Italy, in 1548. He joined the Dominican Order at the age of 15, but he soon became disillusioned with the Church's teachings. He left the Order in 1572 and began to travel throughout Europe, teaching his ideas about cosmology and philosophy. 
    In 1576, Bruno published his book On the Shadows of the Ideas, in which he outlined his cosmological theories. He argued that the universe is infinite and that it contains many inhabited worlds. He also rejected the Aristotelian view of the universe as a finite sphere centered on the Earth.  
    Bruno's ideas were controversial from the start. He was accused of heresy by the Catholic Church and forced to flee Geneva in 1583. He then spent several years in France, where he was protected by King Henry III. However, after Henry's death in 1589, Bruno was forced to flee again. 
    In 1591, Bruno returned to Italy. He was arrested in Venice in 1592 and extradited to Rome. He was put on trial for heresy and found guilty. On February 17, 1600, Bruno was burned at the stake in Campo de' Fiori. 
    Despite his execution, Bruno's ideas had a profound influence on later thinkers. His work helped to pave the way for the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

    This book includes two different titles, which are: 
    Nursing - Nursing is more than just a profession; it is a calling that blends compassion, science, and clinical expertise to promote health and well-being. As one of the most trusted professions globally, nursing plays a critical role in the healthcare system, directly impacting patients' lives and outcomes. This chapter provides an overview of nursing careers, introducing the diverse roles within the field and the various paths one can take to become a nurse. 
    Nurses are at the heart of patient care, often serving as the bridge between patients and other healthcare professionals. They are involved in a wide range of activities, from administering medications and performing clinical procedures to providing emotional support and educating patients about their health conditions. Nurses work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, community centers, schools, and even patients' homes, adapting their skills to meet the specific needs of each environment. 
    Social Work - Social work is a vital profession dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. It encompasses a broad range of practices aimed at addressing social issues, alleviating suffering, and promoting social change. Rooted in the principles of social justice, human rights, and empowerment, social work strives to enhance the well-being of marginalized populations while fostering an equitable society.
