Summary

"Light and Color" explores the physics behind our perception of color, revealing how light waves interact with matter and our eyes. It traces the journey from natural phenomena like rainbows, caused by light dispersion, to technological advancements such as LED lighting, highlighting the importance of understanding wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. The book argues that color is less an inherent property of objects and more a product of physics combined with the human visual system.

 
The book begins by establishing the fundamental properties of light waves before examining the human visual system and its interpretation of different wavelengths as colors. It delves into practical applications like LED technology, emphasizing its impact on energy efficiency.

 
"Light and Color" distinguishes itself by integrating the physics of light with the biology of color perception and the technology of light emission, providing a holistic understanding often missing in specialized treatments. The book's approach is informative and accessible, making complex concepts understandable through diagrams, graphs, and real-world examples. It connects physics with biology, chemistry, and engineering, showcasing the pervasive nature of light and color in different domains.

 
By understanding these principles, readers can apply them to real-world situations, from color mixing in art to improving energy efficiency in lighting systems.

    Take a data-first and use-case-driven approach with Low-Code AI to understand machine learning and deep learning concepts. This hands-on guide presents three problem-focused ways to learn no-code ML using AutoML, low-code using BigQuery ML, and custom code using scikit-learn and Keras. In each case, you'll learn key ML concepts by using real-world datasets with realistic problems. 
 
 
 
Business and data analysts get a project-based introduction to ML/AI using a detailed, data-driven approach: loading and analyzing data; feeding data into an ML model; building, training, and testing; and deploying the model into production. Authors Michael Abel and Gwendolyn Stripling show you how to build machine learning models for retail, healthcare, financial services, energy, and telecommunications. 
 
 
 
You'll learn how to distinguish between structured and unstructured data and the challenges they present; visualize and analyze data; preprocess data for input into a machine learning model; differentiate between the regression and classification supervised learning models; compare different ML model types and architectures, from no code to low code to custom training; design, implement, and tune ML models; and export data to a GitHub repository for data management and governance.

    When I Consider Your Heavens -...

    In this thought-provoking book, Antony Latham shows how science and philosophy provide evidence for the existence of God. There was a beginning of the universe, which requires an explanation beyond itself. The exquisite fine-tuning of the physical laws necessary for life has all the hallmarks of design. Paleontology and biology show unmistakable signs of an intelligence behind life. Consciousness and free-will, inexplicable in purely physical terms, point to something beyond the material. The philosophy of beauty and morality leads us to an author of both. He argues that the universe is ‘open’—not simply the interaction of matter and energy, but a realm where miracles can happen. The evidence for the greatest miracle in history, the resurrection of Jesus, is carefully presented. 
 
About the Author: 
Antony Latham is a retired family doctor with nine years of experience working in hospitals in East Africa. He has authored books on Darwinism and the philosophy of mind, and holds a degree in Medical Law and Bioethics. Currently, he chairs the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics. He and his wife have four children and three grandchildren. They live in the Western Isles of Scotland, where he enjoys sailing and mountaineering.
