Sinossi

"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.

    Proof of Stake - The Making of...

    Vitalik Buterin, Nathan Schneider

    After Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin dropped out of college and launched Bitcoin Magazine, he wrote the Ethereum white paper, which proposed an open source protocol that would take what Bitcoin did for money and do it for everything else: contracts, social networks, and sharing economies. Now, less than a decade later, his idea is valued at about half a trillion dollars, and it is the foundation for the weird new world of NFT artworks, virtual real estate, and decentralized autonomous organizations. 
     
     
     
    This book is a collection of essays including "On Free Speech," which creates a whole new standard for free speech and how to protect it;  "Prediction Markets: Tales from the Election," in which Buterin bets on the Trump-Biden election before and after it was decided, and how the prediction markets help explain the political situation today where so many believe Trump won; and the last essay in the book, "Crypto Cities," where Buterin observes the beginnings already in motion of a future where cities governed through blockchain better serve the public good than governing political institutions do today. 
     
     
      
    Understanding and engaging with Buterin's ideas will be of growing importance as the consequences of his invention continue to unfold and inspire debate worldwide.

    A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil.Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

    Every one of Earth's teeming ecosystems is an evolutionary cauldron 
     
     
     
    Christopher Wills's claim has its roots in an insight from Charles Darwin: the interactions between species in an ecosystem are a powerful driver of evolution. In this book Wills describes how, by using the latest genetic techniques, we are probing ecosystems and discovering that even the most apparently barren of them are rich in variety, especially of microbes. Exploring the many ways in which ecosystems have coped with past change, and how rapidly an ecosystem can develop complexity, Wills illuminates a pathway of hope for the natural world that we have so damaged and depleted. Our new genetic knowledge can help these evolutionary cauldrons to continue brewing richness and diversity, the better to heal our living world and to enable our own survival.
