Summary

Self-Healing Concrete explores a groundbreaking technology that allows concrete to autonomously repair cracks, offering a promising solution for sustainable infrastructure. Imagine bridges and buildings mending themselves, significantly reducing maintenance and extending their lifespan. This innovative approach incorporates self-healing agents like bacteria or polymers, which are activated by water when cracks form, effectively sealing the damage. The book details how integrating these mechanisms could revolutionize construction, moving towards more resilient and eco-friendly structures.

 
The book begins by establishing a foundation in concrete history and the mechanics of crack formation. It then progresses to examine various self-healing agents and methods for their incorporation, such as direct addition or encapsulation. Highlighting the practical implications, case studies of pilot projects demonstrate the technology's performance in real-world conditions.

 
The book emphasizes the potential economic and environmental benefits, including reduced carbon emissions and extended structural integrity, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand and implement this cutting-edge construction material.

    It’s clear that the future is all about artificial intelligence and machine learning. We all want better recommendations, better personalization, and we want much more from our internet searches. The apps we use can see, they can hear, and they can even respond, and that is a direct result of artificial intelligence – improving the user experience and bringing much more value across every industry. 
    This brings two questions to mind, though – How do we bring those experiences to life and what’s the best computer programming language to use? 
    The obvious answer is to use Python because it is the best language for machine learning. 
    Why?  
    What makes it the best programming language? 
    Artificial intelligence projects are different from your standard software project, and that difference comes from the technology stack, from the skills that you need for artificial intelligence projects and from the real necessity for deep research. 
    You need a programming language that offers stability, flexibility, and a wide range of tools. Python gives you all this and more. From development, right through deployment to maintenance, the Python language helps us to be productive developers, confident about what we are building.

    Miner's Day is a testament to coal mining communities in the mid-twentieth century. First published by Penguin Books as a slim paperback in 1945, it married a reflective text by Britain's outstanding miner-writer, B. L. Coombes, to illustrations by the artist Isabel Alexander.
    The original text is now republished in a generous new format with a substantial introduction and the full wealth of images that Isabel Alexander made in an extended project to document people and places in the South Wales coalfield – a unique addition to the visual representation of mining communities.
    Bert Coombes in words and Isabel Alexander in images each aimed to reveal the layered reality of coal-mining communities to a distant public. They documented both work below ground and devastated environments above. They described the lives not just of working men but women, children and older people too. They saw poverty and despair but also love, hope and even humour. The South Wales they captured echoes similar communities across the world and evolving global challenges to health, work and environment. Miner's Day is as relevant now as it was in 1945.

    You have heard the words for years. Entanglement, superposition, the cat in the box, that experiment with the two slits. You nod along, you enjoy the documentary, and somewhere in the last five minutes the thread slips away again.
    
    This is the beginner's guide to quantum physics that finally makes it stick. Each commute-sized chapter takes one famous puzzle and cracks it open with a single tangible everyday analogy, so you can hear what a quantum actually is, why light behaves as both wave and particle, what the double slit really shows, and how the same strange rules make the sun shine and put a laser in your pocket. No equations, no diagrams, nothing you need to see. And where physicists still argue about what it all means, you get the honest version, because the unsettled parts are the best part.
    
    By the end you can explain uncertainty and entanglement in your own words. Press play on the first chapter and start understanding.

    Have you lost a loved one? Your sadness becomes depression. Your child is a little too lively? He or she may be a danger to society. Do you have a penchant for cake? You have a psychiatric disorder.
    The new standard way of thinking about mental health, dictated by the publication of an international guide, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is authorian and overshadows Therapeutic Listening in favor of the drug treatment—its latest version, the DSM-5, lists more than 350 diseases.
    Patrick Landman exposes the abuses of such a takeover—the range of normality is reduced and we all become consumers of psychotropic drugs, and even potential lunatics.
