Principles of Computational Geometry

Devang Patil

Summary

"Principles of Computational Geometry" delves into the intersection of mathematics, algorithms, and computer science to solve geometric problems using computational methods. We cover a wide range of topics, from fundamental geometric concepts to advanced algorithmic techniques. Our book explores geometric data structures and algorithms designed to efficiently tackle issues like geometric modeling, spatial analysis, and geometric optimization.
We introduce readers to key concepts like convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, and Delaunay triangulations, which serve as building blocks for solving complex geometric problems. Additionally, we discuss techniques for geometric transformation, intersection detection, and geometric search, providing the tools needed to analyze and manipulate geometric data effectively.
Throughout the text, we highlight practical applications of computational geometry, ranging from computer graphics and image processing to robotics and geographic information systems. We also explore the theoretical underpinnings of computational geometry, offering insights into the mathematical foundations of algorithms and their computational complexity.
Overall, "Principles of Computational Geometry" serves as a comprehensive guide for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in leveraging computational methods to solve geometric problems efficiently and effectively. With its blend of theory and practical applications, our book offers a valuable resource for anyone exploring the rich and diverse field of computational geometry.

Design Dissected - Is the design...

David Galloway

Many people assert that all of reality, including life, has simply emerged as a result of natural law and circumstance. How credible is that assumption? How well does it fit with what we find? Exquisite features of apparent design are in evidence everywhere we look. Either something is responsible for all the molecular engineering of life or, it just happened and nothing is directly responsible. Which option offers the best explanation?
This book provides a clinician’s perspective on the evidence for design in living things. Specific scenarios are dissected from examples of real cases in clinical medicine and surgery, as well as descriptions of some of the amazing integrated systems that exist in human physiology. Read about the critical processes that must be successfully navigated at the time of birth for every individual to have any prospect of survival. Beyond that, think about thinking itself. This book is a powerful challenge to the belief that the universe, life, and conscious experience can result only from unguided, natural processes.
“Excellent ... a most enjoyable mix of personal anecdote and scientific precision.” Prof John C Lennox
“Fresh and original. Beautifully written and extensively researched. Highly recommended.” Dr Stephen C. Meyer
“Impressive and thought provoking” Prof Frank Dunn

Walking Wild - Hiking the length...

Jose A Neves

"A must-read for anyone who loves Kruger and adventure." - Tony Park
WALKING WILD is not your typical safari - no game drives, no cool sundowners and definitely no fences. Instead, it's 605 km of dust, sweat and unforgettable moments as an unlikely group of strangers sets out to walk the entire length of Kruger National Park. Over six stages and three years, they walked from Crooks' Corner in the far north to Malelane in the south, averaging 20 km a day with heavy backpacks and only the wild for company.
Led by two armed guides, they braved blistering heat and violent storms. At night, as hyenas nosed their tents and lionesses strolled right through camp, some slept soundly - others lay wide eyed, waiting for dawn. They drank from murky trickles in dry riverbeds, navigated thick riverine bush teeming with hippo, buffalo and crocodiles, and slowly learnt to read the bush - from the smallest antlion to the distant roar of a lion.
But Kruger's wilderness is not without its challenges. Poachers - both criminal syndicates and those in search of bushmeat - move in the shadows, rivers bring pollution from beyond its borders, and conservation battles rage on. WALKING WILD captures the magic and the madness of life on foot in one of the world's most iconic national parks. It's a story of adventure, camaraderie and deep immersion in the wild - a journey that leaves no one unchanged.
WALKING WILD is a testament to resilience, discovery and the deep connection between people and nature. If you've ever dreamt of experiencing Kruger beyond the safari vehicle, this book is your ticket to the trail.

A Dignified Life - Revised and...

MPH David Troxel, MSW Virginia Bell

More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related form of dementia. By the year 2030, experts estimate that as many as 66 million people will be faced with this life-altering disease. These statistics impact millions of caregivers. Compared with all types of caregivers, those who assist someone with dementia experience the highest levels of burnout, depression, poor health, and premature death. A Dignified Life, Revised and Expanded offers hope and help. 
 
 
 
Ten years ago, the first edition of A Dignified Life changed the way the caregiving community approached Alzheimer's disease by showing caregivers how to act as a Best Friend to the person. Firmly grounded in the latest knowledge about dementia, this expanded edition offers a wealth of tips and advice. 
 
 
 
While medical treatment of the disease hasn't changed, our understanding and awareness of treating people in a more caring way has changed. With no cure, respectful care by effective and compassionate care partners is the only real "treatment" available. The Best Friends Approach is successful because it sustains people's connection to their world, their loved ones, and themselves. A Dignified Life shows how to bring dignity, meaning, and peace of mind to the lives of both those who have Alzheimer's and dementia and those who care for them.
