Summary

Generally the golden age of Physics is identified in the period that runs from 1900 to 1945 and which sees the birth and consolidation of fundamental theories such as Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. A collection of the original Scientific Publications in English that marked the stages of this process, is re-proposed for a historical reading of that period keeping its chronology for years. This document refers to the sad events linked to the explosion of the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which, with their burden of death and destruction, have indelibly marked the entire history of mankind. The most painful and controversial way to legitimize the birth of the new Modern Physics. They are reported, introduced by short explanatory notes, the most important and significant historical documents, some declassified in recent times, which now constitute the testimony inherited from subsequent generations of one of the most terrible pages in the history of the twentieth century. The volume, unlike the others centered on the collection of specialized physics "papers", selects a wide documentation consisting of military reports, testimonies, stories, medical publications on the effects caused by radiation and "Flash Burn", with a purpose therefore more specifically scientific historical. Useful for any research, historical insights or even for simple reading or consultation.
The text is equipped with a convenient interactive index.

Notes on the Author.
Francesco Scognamiglio is an independent author of informative texts on Physics and History of Science and Technology. Graduated in Engineering with AeroSpaziale specialization fhe has passionately cultivated a particular interest in the knowledge and understanding of the fundamental laws that govern natural phenomena, trying to transmit knowledge even to those who would not have easy access to the subject for its high specialized content. For this purpose he  is supported by many years of experience in training and teaching  activities, addressing its interest for the deepening of the peculiar philosophical and historical aspects. And it is precisely the particular attention to a scientific historical reconstruction of the evolution of the new Atomic Theories in the period from 1900 to 1945, which guides the author in the presentation of important historical documents and dramatic original testimonies of the period examined.

    Recalling remarkable cases-and people-from a career launched in the first days of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Paul Seward leads us in his memoir through suspenseful diagnoses and explorations of anatomy. By his side, we learn to distinguish nursemaid's elbow from a true broken arm. We learn how our breathing and swallowing mechanisms resemble a practical joke. But when a baby's heart stops and a young doctor forgets what to do, the situation is far from funny. Within the conditions of great stress and rapid decision-making that are routine in the ER, Dr. Seward shows us that medical staff must be more than technicians of the body: they must be restorers of the human. Whether it is comforting anxious families or subjecting a distressed patient to tough procedures, they must learn the difficult work of caring for strangers. Throughout Patient Care, Dr. Seward reflects on how a life in medicine tests what it means to put ethics into practice.

    Like the alphabet, the calendar, or the zodiac, the periodic table of the chemical elements has a permanent place in our imagination. But aside from the handful of common ones (iron, carbon, copper, gold), the elements themselves remain wrapped in mystery. We do not know what most of them look like, how they exist in nature, how they got their names, or of what use they are to us. Unlocking their astonishing secrets and colorful pasts, Periodic Tales is a passionate journey through mines and artists' studios, to factories and cathedrals, into the woods and to the sea to discover the true stories of these fascinating but mysterious building blocks of the universe.

    Programmers who endure and succeed amidst swirling uncertainty and nonstop pressure share a common attribute: They care deeply about the practice of creating software. They treat it as a craft. They are professionals.
    
    In The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers, legendary software expert Robert C. Martin introduces the disciplines, techniques, tools, and practices of true software craftsmanship. This book is packed with practical advice-about everything from estimating and coding to refactoring and testing. It covers much more than technique: It is about attitude. Martin shows how to approach software development with honor, self-respect, and pride; work well and work clean; communicate and estimate faithfully; face difficult decisions with clarity and honesty; and understand that deep knowledge comes with a responsibility to act.
    
    Listeners will learn:
    - What it means to behave as a true software craftsman
    - How to deal with conflict, tight schedules, and unreasonable managers
    - How to get into the flow of coding, and get past writer's block
    - How to handle unrelenting pressure and avoid burnout
    - How to combine enduring attitudes with new development paradigms
    - How to manage your time, and avoid blind alleys, marshes, bogs, and swamps
    - How to foster environments where programmers and teams can thrive
    - When to say "No"-and how to say it
    - When to say "Yes"-and what yes really means
     
    Great software is something to marvel at: powerful, elegant, functional, a pleasure to work with as both a developer and as a user. Great software isn't written by machines. It is written by professionals with an unshakable commitment to craftsmanship. The Clean Coder will help you become one of them-and earn the pride and fulfillment that they alone possess.

    Assuming the Ecosexual Position...

    What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor.Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.

    Any form of dementia is terrifying and lonely for both the one suffering it and for those close to them. How do our relationships with those we love change with loss of memory or clarity of thought? What happens to our relationship with God? 
    For those suffering from early-stage Alzheimer's, for their friends and family, community and church, this book will help you understand the disease itself, how to love and care for those affected by it, and how to see the hope that's greater than it: we may forget, but God always remembers. 
    With pastoral tenderness and gospel confidence, Dr. Benjamin Mast shares his expertise on the subject and displays the power of the gospel that remains intact even when memory fades. Second Forgetting provides:Up-to-date answers to common questions about the disease and its effect on personal identity and faith.Personal stories of those affected and the loved ones who care for them and what their experiences were like—where they found hope and how they most needed support.Practical suggestions for how the church can come alongside families and those struggling or hurting. 
    When a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they face great uncertainty, knowing that they can expect to live their remaining years with increasing confusion and progressively greater reliance upon other people to care for them. Dr. Mast will help you see how Alzheimer's disease cannot have the final say on God's unforgotten children. 
    Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
