Sinopsis

How Light Bends explores the fascinating physics of refraction, explaining why light changes direction when moving between different materials like air and water. The book explains how this bending affects our everyday experiences, from the distorted view of objects underwater to the captivating display of rainbows. Readers will gain insight into Snell's Law and the index of refraction, key concepts controlling how light behaves, and how these principles underpin various optical phenomena. The book progresses from fundamental principles to real-world applications across three sections. First, it introduces the physics of refraction. Then, it dives into specific examples such as lenses, underwater vision, and mirages. Finally, it explores practical applications in fiber optics and advanced imaging. This approach bridges physics, atmospheric science, and optics, revealing how understanding refraction is vital for both explaining natural occurrences and developing advanced technologies.

    Build high-performance, scalable, and resilient systems using Python and Kafka.
    Book Description
    Python’s simplicity and flexibility, combined with Apache Kafka’s high-throughput, fault-tolerant messaging system, make them a powerful duo for building scalable, event-driven applications. Ultimate Event-Driven Architecture with Python and Apache Kafka brings together these two technologies to help developers and architects design modern, asynchronous systems capable of handling real-time data at scale.
    The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), including its core principles, benefits, and real-world relevance. It then explores the essential components of an EDA system, guiding readers through design patterns, message flow, and architectural considerations. Security, testing, and observability are covered in depth to ensure robust and reliable systems.
    Later chapters dive into Apache Kafka concepts and demonstrate how to build and deploy practical, real-world solutions using Python. Hands-on examples and a complete use case walk-through ensure that readers can confidently apply what they’ve learned in production scenarios.
    Whether you're modernizing legacy systems or architecting from scratch, this book equips you to build event-driven systems that are scalable, resilient, and future-ready. Start your EDA journey with Python and Kafka today!

    Humans once relied on the calls of wild animals to understand the natural world and their place within it. Now, this remarkable guide reveals what our ancestors knew long ago—that tuning in to the owl in the tree, the deer in the gully, can tell us important information and help us feel connected to our wild community. 
     
     
     
    In Eavesdropping on Animals, George Bumann shares the fascinating stories and insights he has gained from studying wildlife around the world for more than forty years, the last twenty of which have been spent leading popular programs on animal language and intelligence in Yellowstone National Park. Bumann shares tips, tricks, and advice for listeners living in urban, suburban, and rural areas and clearly shows us that you don't need an exotic vacation or a biology degree to have transformative wildlife encounters. Listening to and observing creatures in your own backyard, on nearby trails, and in local parks, seashores, fields, and forests can lead to extraordinary experiences and a profound sense of belonging. 
     
     
     
    Are you ready to eavesdrop on your wild neighbors? Are you ready to learn how to tell a warning call from a mating call, a purr of satisfaction from idle chatter? Then this book is for you!

    Do you spend the majority of your day in front of a laptop, in artificial light? Then drive home, chatting on your Bluetooth before heating up your dinner in the microwave? Then you “relax” with your iPad, glancing at your flat screen TV that’s downloading the latest movie, before setting the alarm on your phone and sleeping with it next to your head, the smart meter buzzing away in the background? 
    Here’s another question: How do you feel? Any headaches or ringing in the ears? Lack of energy? Putting on weight? Annoying little allergies? Ever wondered if there’s a connection? 
    Author and environmental scientist Jason Bawden-Smith believes that, with regard to the harmful effects of living in a technologically connected world, we are currently living in the dark. 
    There’s no doubt technology serves great function in this day and age, and will continue to do so. In The Dark simply brings stronger awareness to the adverse effects technology can have, and offers simple and practical measures that people can take, without feeling they have to compromise the lifestyle they want.
