Sinopsis

Asteroid Belt Dynamics explores the fascinating realm between Mars and Jupiter, revealing how this region of space holds crucial insights into the solar system's origin and evolution. The asteroid belt, often considered a "failed planet" due to Jupiter's gravitational influence, presents a dynamically evolving system shaped by collisions, gravitational forces, and space weathering. This book uniquely combines observational data with theoretical modeling to present an up-to-date view of these complex interactions.

 
Kirkwood gaps, for instance, demonstrate how Jupiter's gravity sculpts the asteroid belt, while the Yarkovsky effect illustrates how subtle forces can alter asteroid trajectories over vast timescales. The book progresses from fundamental concepts like asteroid classification and orbital elements to advanced topics such as collisional evolution and gravitational perturbations. Readers will discover how asteroids fragment and re-accumulate, and how these processes contribute to the belt’s current structure.

 
The book culminates in a synthesis of these concepts, offering a holistic view of the asteroid belt as a complex, interconnected system, with implications for asteroid mining, planetary defense, and our broader understanding of solar system evolution. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field, bridging the gap between introductory texts and advanced research papers.

Why Geese Don't Get Obese (and...

Eric P. Widmaier

Imagine being able to consume 250,000 calories daily without gaining weight. 
If you had the metabolism of a shrew you could. And while most of us can't hold our breath for more than a few minutes, the Weddell seal can remain under water for a full 75 minutes! 
Through many amazing examples, Why Geese Don't Get Obese discusses the mechanisms humans and other creatures have evolved to gauge their need for food; gather water and oxygen; circulate blood; regulate body temperature; respond to stressful situations; and maintain other survival needs. 
Peppy prose and just the right amount of detail make this audio-book a delight and a fitting ode to the remarkable resilience of nature!

Cloud Computing

Bright Mills

Cloud computing represents a paradigm shift in how organizations, individuals, and developers use technology. Rather than owning and maintaining physical servers or computing infrastructure, users can now access computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and more on-demand over the internet from cloud providers. 
This in-depth explanation explores the origins, models, architecture, components, benefits, challenges, use cases, and future of cloud computing. Covering essential service models like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), it delves into deployment models (public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud), major cloud providers (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud), security concerns, and practical applications across industries.

Praxis Tacticum - The Art...

Colonel Charles S. Oliviero

Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
 
 
 
All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
 
 
 
There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.
