Atomic Reaction

Maison d'édition: Publifye

Synopsis

'Atomic Reaction' provides a comprehensive exploration of nuclear weapons technology, expertly weaving together the scientific principles of atomic physics with the dramatic historical narrative of the Manhattan Project and its far-reaching consequences. The book uniquely bridges the gap between complex physics concepts and their military applications, making it accessible to readers with basic scientific knowledge while maintaining academic rigor.

 
The narrative unfolds across three distinct sections, beginning with fundamental physics concepts like atomic structure and nuclear fission, explained through carefully crafted analogies and clear breakdowns. Drawing from recently declassified documents and firsthand accounts, the second section delves into the technical development of the first atomic weapons through the Manhattan Project. The final section examines how nuclear weapons transformed international relations and military strategy, fundamentally altering the course of human civilization.

 
This interdisciplinary work stands out for its meticulous research, incorporating primary sources from physics textbooks to military archives and diplomatic records. Technical concepts are illuminated through practical discussions of radiation effects and blast dynamics, while the broader implications of nuclear proliferation and deterrence theory are explored with scholarly objectivity. The book's balanced approach makes it particularly valuable for physics students, military history enthusiasts, and policy analysts seeking to understand both the scientific principles and historical context of nuclear weapons development.

Surgery

Hippocrates

Hippocrates is credited with being the first physician to really focus on surgery as a medical practice. He and his team of surgeons would often operate on patients with a variety of different ailments. This was a major shift from previous medical practices, which often focused on simply treating the symptoms of an illness, rather than attempting to cure it. Hippocrates and his team pioneered many surgical techniques that are still used today, and their work helped to revolutionize medicine as a whole. Read in English, unabridged.

Together We Rise - Behind the...

Anonyme

An audiobook for the ages featuring the voices of Women's March Organizers, as well as Ashley Judd, Jia Tolentino, Cindi Leive, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Sister Aisha Al-Adawiya, Melanie Campbell, Judith LeBlanc, Ai-Jen Poo, Robin Miles, January LaVoy, Thérèse Plummer, and James Fouhey.    
In celebration of the one-year anniversary of Women’s March, this oral history offers an unprecedented, front-row seat to one of the most galvanizing movements in American history, featuring the very women who organized the march, and essays by feminist activists: ROWAN BLANCHARD • SENATOR TAMMY DUCKWORTH • AMERICA FERRERA • ROXANE GAY • ILANA GLAZER • ASHLEY JUDD • VALARIE KAUR • CINDI LEIVE • DAVID REMNICK • JILL SOLOWAY • YARA SHAHIDI • JIA TOLENTINO • CONGRESSWOMAN MAXINE WATERS • ELAINE WELTEROTH • JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS • AND MORE 
On January 21, 2017, the day after Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, more than three million marchers of all ages and walks of life took to the streets as part of the largest protest in American history. In red states and blue states, in small towns and major urban centers, from Boise to Boston, Bangkok to Buenos Aires, people from eighty-two countries—on all seven continents—rose up in solidarity to voice a common message: Hear our voice. 
It became the largest global protest in modern history. 
Compiled by Women’s March organizers, in partnership with Condé Nast and Glamour magazine Editor in Chief Cindi Leive, Together We Rise—published for the one-year anniversary of the event—is the complete chronicle of this remarkable uprising. For the first time, Women’s March organizers—including Bob Bland, Cassady Fendlay, Sarah Sophie Flicker, Janaye Ingram, Tamika Mallory, Paola Mendoza, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour —tell their personal stories and reflect on their collective journey in an oral history written by Jamia Wilson, writer, activist and director of The Feminist Press. They provide an inside look at how the idea for the event originated, how it was organized, how it became a global movement that surpassed their wildest expectations, and how they are sustaining and building on the widespread outrage, passion, and determination that sparked it. 
Together We Rise interweaves their stories with ""Voices from the March""—recollections from real women who were there, across the world, and voiced by January LaVoy—and 22 short, thought-provoking essays by esteemed writers, celebrities and artists including those both written and read by Ashley Judd, Jia Tolentino, Cindi Leive, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Sister Aisha Al-Adawiya, Melanie Campbell, Judith LeBlanc, and Ai-Jen Poo. It also features the talented voices of Robin Miles as the narrator, Thérèse Plummer, and James Fouhey. An inspirational call to action that reminds us that together, ordinary people can make a difference, Together We Rise is an unprecedented look at a day that made history—and the beginning of a resistance movement to reclaim our future.  
Women’s March will share proceeds from Together We Rise with three grassroots, women-led organizations: The Gathering for Justice, SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, and Indigenous Women Rise. 
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

What the River Knows - Essays...

Michael Engelhard

Edward Abbey, who never much liked Alaska, called it "our biggest, buggiest, boggiest state." To others, it has been a cure for despair. When Michael Engelhard moved to Fairbanks more than three decades ago, he was a cheechako, a subarctic tenderfoot. Gathering skills and experiences the hard way, he attained "Sourdough" status while realizing there would always be more to learn, see, and do in the land of midnight sun and auroras. 
 
 
 
En route, Engelhard suffered frostbite, stubborn yaks, grizzly charges, trophy hunters, cold-water immersion, heartbreak, incontinent raptors, one pesky squirrel, and honeymooners from abroad. He tried to rescue a raven and explored Arctic dunes and a glacier's blue heart, and his own as he mingled with caribou on their epic journeys.

Quantum Analytics : Transforming...

Ecnal Ver

Discover the Future of Data
We live in a world overflowing with information. Every second, new data is created from our phones, computers, cars, and even household appliances. But the old tools we use to understand this data are falling behind. Quantum Analytics takes you on a journey into a new way of thinking, where strange but powerful ideas from quantum theory help us see patterns, make smarter choices, and understand complex problems.
From Classical to Quantum Thinking
Classical analytics depends on clear, simple answers. But the world isn’t simple anymore. Quantum ideas such as superposition, entanglement, and uncertainty allow us to hold many possibilities at once, see hidden connections, and even understand how our focus can change outcomes. Instead of being limited to straight-line logic, we learn to explore data as a living, changing web of information.
Tools for Real-World Challenges
This audiobook shows how quantum thinking can solve problems in business, science, medicine, and daily life. From managing traffic in busy cities to protecting personal privacy with quantum encryption, from modeling the spread of disease to building smarter machine learning systems, the applications are endless. Quantum analytics is not just about new machines. It is about a new mindset that helps us work with uncertainty instead of fearing it.
Why This Book Matters
You do not need to be a scientist to understand or use these ideas. Quantum Analytics makes complex ideas simple and clear, inviting you to see the world in new ways. You will discover how quantum theory reshapes decision-making, security, and even creativity. This audiobook is about more than data. It is about thinking differently, asking deeper questions, and opening doors to possibilities that classical methods miss.
Take this journey into the heart of quantum thinking and see how it can transform the way you understand information, make choices, and imagine the future.
