Sinossi

Scissors and Precision explores the surprisingly rich history of scissors, revealing how this seemingly simple tool reflects broader trends in technology and human innovation. The book traces the evolution of cutting tools from rudimentary beginnings to high-precision instruments, detailing innovations in engineering design, materials science, and ergonomics. Early scissor-like devices weren't always pivoted; some were spring-operated shears. The book uniquely illuminates history through the lens of a common object. 

 
The book examines scissors' journey across historical periods and cultures, analyzing materials used in their construction, like bronze, iron, and advanced alloys, and explaining how properties affect performance. Blade geometry and pivot mechanisms are explored, highlighting the engineering intricacies. Progressing through chapters, the study moves from ancient metalworking to modern surgical applications, showing how scissor technology adapts to meet evolving societal needs.

    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!

    Inspiring urban explorers and armchair travellers alike to consider a new way of understanding the world we live in, this unique atlas explores the modern world from surprising new vantage points. Hidden lairs beneath layers of rock, forgotten cities rising out of deserted lands and even mankind's own feats of engineering eccentricity lie in the most unusual of destinations. Go in search of the obscure and bizarre, the beautiful and estranged, taking in the defiant relics of ancient cities such as Ani, a once-thriving metropolis lost to conquered lands, and the church tower of San Juan Parangaricuto, that miraculously stands as the sole survivor of a town sunk by lava. Through the labyrinths of Berlin and Beijing — underground realms dug for refuge, espionage and even, as Canada's Moose Jaw, used as the playground for gangsters trading liquor and money over cards — never forgetting the freaks and wonders of nature's own unusual masterpieces: the magical underground river shaped like a dragon's mouth in the Philippines and the floating world of Palmerston.Atlas of Improbable Places is a fascinating voyage to the world's most incredible destinations. As the Island of Dolls and the hauntingly titled Door to Hell — an inextinguishable fire pit – attest, mystery is never far away. The truths and myths behind their creation are as varied as the destinations themselves. Standing as symbols of worship, testaments to kingships or even the strange and wonderful traditions of old and new, these curious places are not just extraordinary sights but reflections on man's own relationship with the world around us.Also in the Unexpected Atlas series: Atlas of Untamed Places,Atlas of the Unexpected, Atlas of Vanishing Places.

    The Function of Reason

    Whitehead presented these three lectures at Princeton University in 1929. Although 85 years have passed, his central thesis and his analysis remain remarkably current. The scientific materialism that Whitehead opposed with such vigor continues to dominate in academic circles, and even now those who question that worldview are often accused of being antiscientific. This is especially true in discussions of the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body (particularly the brain).It is hard to find a contemporary thinker with a better perspective on the nature and role of natural science than Whitehead, who, with Bertrand Russell, published Principia Mathematica in 1910; who taught logic and mathematics at Trinity College of Cambridge University; who taught philosophy of science at University College London; and who was a professor of philosophy at Harvard University beginning in 1924. Whitehead's cosmology is far from antiscientific, but he does explain why scientific method and technological practice alone are not able to provide a comprehensive understanding of the full range of human thought and experience. This work explains what we must do to achieve such a comprehensive understanding.© Agora Publications
