Sinossi

This book introduces programming concepts using Python 3, designed for beginners and hobbyists with no prior programming experience. It covers loops, strings, functions, files, graphics, multimedia, algorithms, classes, and more. Many examples are based on video game development, making learning engaging and practical. The book uses a just-in-time presentation style, providing material when it's needed, and includes companion files with source code, exercises, projects, and figures.The course starts with an overview of modern computers and basic programming concepts. It progresses through topics like repetition, sequences, functions, file input/output, classes, graphics, data manipulation, and multimedia. The latter chapters focus on basic algorithms, programming for the sciences, writing good programs, parsing, and communicating using graphics and Pygame.By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of programming fundamentals, enhanced by practical applications in video game development. This approach not only makes learning enjoyable but also equips students with the skills needed for further studies in computer science and programming.

    What If Time Is Not What We Think? 
    What if everything you have been taught about time is wrong? What if time does not move in one steady line, the same for everyone, but instead bends, shifts, or even disappears depending on where you are in the universe? Quantum Time takes you on a fascinating journey into the strange world of quantum physics to explore one of the greatest mysteries of existence: time itself. 
    Time in Daily Life vs. the Quantum World 
    In everyday life, time feels simple. Seconds tick forward. Clocks keep us on schedule. We grow older. But in the quantum world, none of this is guaranteed. At the smallest scale of reality, time may not even exist the way we think it does. Instead, it may be something that only appears when particles interact, a fragile construct that changes depending on the universe or multiverse you are in. 
    A Radical New View of Time 
    This audiobook challenges the traditional idea that time is an absolute force. Instead, it presents a bold new view. Time may be local, appearing only through the behavior and arrangement of particles. That means different regions of the cosmos or even parallel universes could each experience time in completely different ways. In some cases, time may even loop, pause, or move backward. 
    Where Physics Meets Consciousness 
    From black holes to quantum entanglement, Quantum Time explores how the deepest mysteries of physics connect with human consciousness and reality. It asks whether the mind itself may play a role in shaping how we experience past, present, and future. 
    An Invitation to Rethink Reality 
    If you are fascinated by science, philosophy, or metaphysics, Quantum Time offers a thought-provoking journey that will forever change the way you see the ticking clock.

    Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
     
     
     
    In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.

    There's an unspoken assumption when we go to see a doctor: the doctor knows our medical story and is making decisions based on that story. But reality often falls short. Medical records vanish when we switch doctors. Critical details of life-saving treatment plans get lost in muddled electronic charts. The doctors we see change according to specialty, hospital shifts, or an insurer's whims. 
     
      
     
    In this gripping narrative from medicine's front lines, Ilana Yurkiewicz reveals how a system that doesn't talk to itself puts insupportable burdens on physicians, patients, and caregivers. The stories she tells are at once harrowing and commonplace. A patient narrowly averts an unnecessary, invasive heart procedure by producing a worn rhythm strip he has carried in his pocket for a decade. A man diagnosed with leukemia while visiting from abroad has thirty-one physicians, but no one he can call "his" doctor, with tragic consequences. When Yurkiewicz's own father falls ill, a culture that incentivizes health care providers to react with quick fixes leads to weeks of additional suffering. 
     
     
     
    The system is hanging by a thread, and we need better solutions. Yurkiewicz issues a clear-eyed call for change, naming concrete reforms doctors and policymakers can make, and empowering patients and their loved ones to advocate for themselves in the meantime.

    The Collected Writings of Edward Leedskalnin is a compilation of two of Leedskalnin's works, Magnetic Current and A Book in Every Home. This eccentric sculptor and amateur scientist devoted most of his life to creating a large complex of megalithic stones that he quarried and carved himself. Edward Leedskalnin was born in Latvia in 1887. Although he only received formal education up to the fourth grade, he was very inquisitive and spent a large part of his youth reading. He was said to be a sickly boy and grew into a small man-reportedly measuring just 5 feet tall and weighing 100 lbs. At age 26, he was engaged to marry a 16-year-old girl named Agnes Skuvst, but the wedding was called off. Accounts differ, some claiming the wedding was canceled the day before it was scheduled and others saying that Leedskalnin was jilted at the altar. Regardless, he was heartbroken and shortly after emigrated to America. After reaching New York in 1912, he continued on to Oregon where he worked for an ax-handle manufacturer. By 1923, he had contracted tuberculosis. The illness prompted him to move to a warmer climate for his health. He chose Florida, where he purchased an undeveloped acre of land in Florida City. It was on this modest plot that he began Rock Gate (later renamed Coral Castle). This ambitious project involved extracting enormous pieces of oolite stone from his land, moving them into position, and carving them-entirely alone. The pieces include sculptures and carved stone furniture, as well as a two-story tower that served as his living quarters. The project was devoted to his "Sweet Sixteen," the woman who had rejected him many years earlier.Due to the scale of the project, some have dubbed it "Florida's Stonehenge." While it's unclear how Leedskalnin was able to complete it, it is all the more impressive considering his small stature and questionable health. When he wasn't hewing or carving stone, Leedskalnin was also conducting experiments and writing.
