  Like it or not, you’re a leader now. Better step away from your computer and figure out how to deal with people! 
  There are few leadership books tailored specifically to the needs of technical-minded people who like hard evidence, plain language, and industry-specific guidance. 
  People like you! 
  Gwen Acton, PhD, has helped thousands of scientists and engineers to become better leaders, and she can help you too. Leadership for Scientists and Engineers offers a clear, pull-no-punches walk through all the skills you’ll need to manage a team and advance in your role, including: 
      * Delegating. Delegating way more than you think you should. Delegating like your life depends on it. 
      * Conducting one-on-ones that put you and your reports at ease and ensure no surprises when it comes time for the annual review. 
      * Navigating the hiring and onboarding process no matter what size organization you’re working with. 
      * Figuring out what to do when someone starts crying in your office. 
  Science and engineering take a lot of technical know-how, but leadership takes a lot of soft skills—communication, networking, setting and adjusting goals. 
  You want to be good at this stuff. You don’t want to hate it. Leadership for Scientists and Engineers is here to help.

  Discover the secret method used to build the world . . . 
   
   
   
  For millennia, humans have used one simple method to solve problems. Whether it's planting crops, building skyscrapers, developing photographs, or designing the first microchip, all creators follow the same steps to engineer progress. But this powerful method, the "engineering method", is an all but hidden process that few of us have heard of—let alone understand—but that influences every aspect of our lives. 
   
   
   
  Bill Hammack, a Carl Sagan Award–winning professor of engineering and viral "The Engineer Guy" on YouTube, has a lifelong passion for the things we make, and how we make them. Now, for the first time, he reveals the invisible method behind every invention and takes us on a whirlwind tour of how humans built the world we know today. From the grand stone arches of medieval cathedrals to the mundane modern soda can, Hammack explains the golden rule of thumb that underlies every new building technique, every technological advancement, and every creative solution that leads us one step closer to a better, more functional world. Spanning centuries and cultures, Hammack offers a fascinating perspective on how humans engineer solutions in a world full of problems.

  Time Waves - How To Spot Them...

  What if time isn’t a straight line—but a wave you can ride? 
  In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites readers on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe. 
  Drawing inspiration from quantum mechanics, gravitational wave theory, Jungian archetypes, and the poetic elegance of wave interference, Mathiesen proposes a radical new framework: time is not a passive backdrop to our lives—it’s an active, dynamic field of energy, pulsing with rhythms we can learn to detect, interpret, and even harness. 
  Spot the Patterns. Feel the Pull. Catch the Wave. 
  Whether you're a physicist, philosopher, seeker, or surfer of ideas, Time Waves offers a toolkit for navigating the unseen forces shaping our lives. Through vivid metaphors, scientific rigor, and speculative leaps, Mathiesen explores: 
  The anatomy of a time wave—how resonance, amplitude, and phase shifts mirror our lived experience. 
  Interference patterns of destiny—why some moments feel “meant to be” and others spiral into chaos. 
  The surfer’s mindset—how intuition, timing, and flow state align with quantum principles. 
  Atomic clocks and cosmic choreography—a visionary proposal to ESA and NASA to detect time waves via the LISA mission. 
  Mythology meets physics—from Hermes to Hawking, how ancient symbols echo modern science.

  Website development involves creating and maintaining websites. It encompasses various aspects such as web design, web programming, and database management. Web developers use languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the structure, style, and interactivity of websites. Additionally, they may work with server-side scripting languages like PHP, Python, or Ruby to handle dynamic content and databases. Understanding user experience (UX) and search engine optimization (SEO) are also crucial for creating successful websites.

  The Power of Prions - The...

  Michel Brahic

  Over the last decade, scientists have discovered the importance and widespread presence in the body of a remarkable family of proteins known as prion proteins. Research links various types of prion proteins to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's—and this has fueled the search for new drugs that could halt the progression of these terrible disorders. Other discoveries have revealed the essential roles prion proteins play in memory and immunity, and the part they may have played in the beginnings of life on our planet. 
   
   
   
  Brahic, a leading researcher on diseases of the central nervous system, first describes the discovery of prions and their role in infection, beginning with early work on the animal disease scrapie and a mysterious human illness in New Guinea, apparently transmitted by cannibalism. Prion proteins were then revealed as the cause of other illnesses, from "mad cow" disease and its human counterpart, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, to such noninfectious brain disorders as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. While the prion proteins responsible for diseases are definitively "bad," Brahic also explains that these abnormal prions are rare exceptions. Most of the time, prion proteins actually serve "good" and vital functions—and they may even have been present at the origin of life itself.
