Summary

An enhanced eBook published in full colour. Now including extensive interactive content enabling exploration by inserting any values that would occur in a real situation whereby the graphics are redrawn to reflect those changes.
Calculations can be also tested against any standard subject textbook to compare the results.
Interactive Technology when used in the classroom can motivate passive students by encouraging their active participation where STEM subjects are ideally suited to Mobile Interactive Technology.
Students are more likely to be comfortable with technology they understand i.e. their phone and can interact with, often preferring 'Learning-by-Doing' over traditional pencil and paper methods.
Full colour graphics that are redrawn for every input change will make the learning experience more enjoyable and effective as it encourages experimentation of real world situations as almost any practical values are accepted.
Students who struggle to be fully engaged in normal classroom activity can often achieve the unexpected once sat in front of a digital screen where they can learn without the embarrassment of full class exposure.
Mobile Interactive Technology can bring any STEM textbook to life by inserting printed values from the book into their mobile device and comparing the results.
Colourful visual presentation assists the learning process as students will more likely remember, thereby increasing their personal confidence as they believe they are learning more as a result. Knowing the content is on their phone encourages them to dip-in in a spare moment more than open a traditional textbook.
Conclusion: Students will spend more time engaged with the Mobile Interactive Technology than with a traditional textbook.
For each topic group students can test their understanding by considering an open question whereby their ease of answering will provide an indication of personal progress.

Just Six Numbers - The Deep...

Martin Rees

How did a single "genesis event" create billions of galaxies, black holes, stars, and planets? How did atoms assemble — here on earth, and perhaps on other worlds — into living beings intricate enough to ponder their origins? What fundamental laws govern our universe?This audiobook describes new discoveries and offers remarkable insights into these fundamental questions.There are deep connections between stars and atoms, between the cosmos and the microworld. Just six numbers, imprinted in the "Big Bang", determine the essential features of our entire physical world. Moreover, cosmic evolution is astonishingly sensitive to the values of these numbers. If any one of them were "untuned", there could be no stars and no life. This realization offers a radically new perspective on our universe, our place in it, and the nature of physical laws.

Dark Matter Theory

Introbooks Team

Dark matter is a non luminous component of the cosmos. Yet, that can be detected or identified for its existence through the gravitational force. The gravity on the light emitting components that pass by proves the presence of this dark matter. The concept of black holes can be better understood too, in the same manner if there is a definite and concrete answer to this question of dark matter or dark energy. 96% of the universe constitutes the dark energy and the dark matter. Understanding the behavior of the dark energy and dark matter becomes a crucial need in that way. Significant findings in this subject are of global importance today. That can bring in revolutionary changes and seed for new and advanced technologies to come in the near future.

Man In My Head Has Lost His Mind...

Carter Blakelaw

The howl of the bedside clock-radio carves through your dreams like a buzz-saw through butter, and you are awake. In another place. 
Never mind the bright yellow sunlight that flecks your pillow and warms your face; you are rudely awake, and resent it. Gah! 
You roll onto your side, cantilever your legs over the side of the bed and plant your feet squarely on the carpet. You rub your face. Massage your neck. Oh, what it is to be alive!--and conscious--oh oh oh, indeed. 
But what is it to be alive, and conscious? 
Alive, we have some inkling of; you eat, you sleep, you exercise. You stay healthy and keep your body going as best you can. But conscious? What even is that? 
A good question is what that is, and a question for which this book has an answer. 
So in this text, first I set the scene:Did our consciousness evolve?Does consciousness give us free will?Which animals do we think are conscious?Where does consciousness go when we sleep?How does consciousness deliver meaning?What might a theory of consciousness look like? 
Then I propose:A model for consciousness at the macro scaleA mechanism for consciousness at the micro scale 
Finally, I suggest some real world tests that science will one day be able to perform which will either corroborate or invalidate the theory I present here. This is a workable, testable theory. Science and philosophy demand nothing less. 
A must-listen for the curious-minded, which you are, are you not? So listen on...
