Sinopsis

"Physics of Sports" explores the fundamental physics principles underpinning athletic performance across various sports. It unveils the science of motion, energy, and materials within the realm of athletics, offering insights into how physics affects everything from running speed to the trajectory of sports projectiles. For instance, understanding aerodynamics helps explain how spin influences a curveball or how a ski jumper achieves flight. The book delves into the aerodynamics of sports projectiles, the biomechanics of human movement, and the properties of sports equipment. Examining muscle movement, joint action, and leverage reveals how athletes efficiently generate force and power. By connecting physics, engineering, physiology, and sports science, this book bridges the gap between abstract physics concepts, like Newton's laws of motion and energy conservation, and real-world sports applications.

 
The book's structure progresses from introducing fundamental physics concepts to applying them to specific sports, analyzing athletic movements, and considering practical applications such as optimizing training techniques. Supported by real-world examples, experimental data, and computer simulations, "Physics of Sports" enhances our understanding of athletic achievements and provides insights into optimizing training and equipment design. This makes it valuable for sports enthusiasts, science students, coaches, and those in the sports equipment industry.

    The time for effective change is shrinking. 
    In this book, writer, researcher and advocate Gerry Gillespie outlines how we can create a global solution, and it starts between our ears. In order to restore our world ecosystems and our vital soils, he wants to change how we think about our trash. Readers will learn why we all need to change our mind about waste management systems, how to reconnect our organic waste to local soil and food growers, and why this leads to more local jobs. 
    With chapters about source separation, soil management and climate change, and practical approaches to zero waste, Gillespie presents a practical, logical argument for one way to save the world and grow a local economy. In economic and environmental terms, clearly explains how, if waste were collected as source-separated products, more than half of it could be returned to soils as quality compost and biological products. A very large percentage of the remainder can be put back through recycling, re-manufacturing and reusing. And it’s not just theoretical. Gillespie details how this reduction of waste is already being achieved in parts of the world and how we could do it globally … if we could only think differently. 
    Advocates, nonprofit directors, waste managers, landfill directors, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, eco-farmers and anyone searching for environmental solutions and opportunities with source separation should not only read this book … we must figure out how to change our thinking, and put Gillespie’s plan into action.

    Have you thought about a career in data science? It's where the money is right now, and it's only going to become more widespread as the world evolves. Machine learning is a big part of data science, and for those that already have experience in programming, it's the next logical step. 
    Machine learning is a subsection of AI, or Artificial Intelligence, and computer science, using data and algorithms to imitate human thinking and learning. Through constant learning, machine learning gradually improves its accuracy, eventually providing the optimal results for the problem it has been assigned to. 
    It is one of the most important parts of data science and, as big data continues to expand, so too will the need for machine learning and AI. 
    Here's what you will learn in this quick guide to machine learning with Python for beginners:What machine learning isWhy Python is the best computer programming language for machine learningThe different types of machine learningHow linear regression worksThe different types of classificationHow to use SVMs (Support Vector Machines) with Scikit-LearnHow Decision Trees work with ClassificationHow K-Nearest Neighbors worksHow to find patterns in data with unsupervised learning algorithms 
    You will also find plenty of code examples to help you understand how everything works.

    With profound implications for our most foundational assumptions about gender, Gender Mosaic explains why there is no such thing as a male or female brain.For generations, we've been taught that women and men differ in profound and important ways. Women are more sensitive and emotional, whereas men are more aggressive and sexual, because this or that region in the brains of women is smaller or larger than in men, or because they have more or less of this or that hormone. This story seems to provide us with a neat biological explanation for much of what we encounter in day-to-day life. But is it true? According to neuroscientist Daphna Joel, it's not. And in Gender Mosaic, she sets forth a bold and compelling argument that debunks the notion of female and male brains. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, including the groundbreaking results of her own studies, Dr. Joel explains that every human brain is a unique mixture -- or mosaic -- of "male" and "female" features, and that these mosaics don't map neatly into two categories. With urgent practical implications for the way we understand ourselves and the world around us, Gender Mosaic is a fascinating look at the science of gender, sex and the brain, and at how freeing ourselves from the gender binary can help us all reach our full human potential.

    This program is read by the author. In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way.   Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didn’t believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response?The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves—with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home and way of life. And it all starts with what we eat—and don’t eat—for breakfast.
