Sinopsis

In "Popular Scientific Lectures," Ernst Mach presents a compelling collection of talks that elegantly demystify complex scientific principles for a general audience. Written in a clear and engaging style, the lectures explore the foundations of physics, emphasizing the importance of empirical observation and the philosophical implications of scientific theories. Mach's integration of scientific discourse with his critical stance on positivism offers profound insights into the nature of knowledge and reality, making this work a significant contribution to the philosophy of science during the late 19th century. Ernst Mach, a prominent physicist and philosopher, profoundly influenced the fields of science and philosophy. His work came at a time when scientific thought was rapidly evolving, and his rejection of absolute concepts in favor of relativity echoed the sentiments of contemporaries like Albert Einstein. Mach's experiences as an educator and his commitment to accessible science fostered a passion for distilling complex ideas into coherent narratives, a hallmark of his lectures. "Popular Scientific Lectures" is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the historical context of scientific thought and its philosophical ramifications. It is particularly recommended for students and educators seeking clarity in the realms of physics and philosophy, subtly guiding the reader to appreciate the profound connections between the two disciplines.

    Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
    'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás

    Aeronautical management encompasses the strategic planning, direction, and control of aviation operations. This field integrates principles of business management with the technical and regulatory aspects of aviation to ensure the efficient and safe operation of airlines, airports, and related services. 
      
    Operations management focuses on the day-to-day activities necessary to run an airline or airport, including scheduling flights, managing ground services, and coordinating with air traffic control. Safety and security ensure compliance with aviation safety standards and security regulations. This area involves risk management, emergency planning, and maintaining up-to-date safety protocols. Financial management involves budgeting, financial planning, and cost control to maintain profitability. It also includes revenue management, which involves optimizing pricing strategies and managing ancillary revenues. 
      
    Human resources management covers the recruitment, training, and retention of aviation personnel, including pilots, cabin crew, ground staff, and maintenance engineers. Marketing and customer service focus on promoting aviation services, building brand loyalty, and ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction through effective communication and service delivery. Regulatory compliance ensures that operations adhere to national and international aviation regulations, including managing relationships with regulatory bodies such as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Environmental management addresses the environmental impact of aviation operations, promoting sustainable practices and compliance with environmental regulations.

    DESCRIPTION 
    Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications.
    Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students. 
    
    The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book. 
    
    
    Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary. 
    
    These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom. 
    
    Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition. 
    
    We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.

  • The Promise of Psychedelics - Science-Based Hope for Better Mental Heath - cover

    The Promise of Psychedelics -...

    "Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Peter Silverstone was a young MD who took up a new position in psychopharmacology research at Oxford University. Since then, the field has bloomed into a spectrum of possibilities that include the use of psychedelics as a treatment for depression, addiction, PTSD, grief, and anxiety. The Promise of Psychedelics is for you—if you or someone you know has not received successful treatment despite trying several mental-health therapy programs and medication. You are not alone: one in five adults suffer mental-health issues that impact their functioning. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, cannabinoids, and LSD can cause profound, intense changes—not only in what we experience but how we think, how we feel, and what we do. Dr. Silverstone avoids scientific language whenever possible, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. You’ll be introduced to the most recent advances in our understanding of psychedelics: what they are, how they work, what the risks are, and which ones will transform mental-health treatment for millions of patients. You’ll gain an understanding of the complexity of the regulatory approval process and why it takes so long for some of these psychedelics to become legal for therapeutic use. You’ll walk away from The Promise of Psychedelics with a big dose of hope if you’ll pardon the pun. The good news is that we’re on the cusp of a revolution in mental health—one offering hope that many just might soon see the end of mental illness."
