Beschreibung

366 prompts for noticing nature every day of the year.

Arranged in day-by-day format, this beautiful book is a celebration of the nature you can find in your city or town, such as urban foxes prowling in the street, wildflowers sprouting from a crack in the pavement, butterflies on your balcony and the joys of wandering along a canal path. 
Learn how to put up a bug hotel on the 5th January, search for cherry blossom on the 4th April and have a picnic underneath a willow's branches on the 11th June. There are cloud formations to spot, avenues of trees to walk down and elderberries to harvest.
Over the past few years, many city dwellers have learned to appreciate the nature on their doorsteps, as part of the lasting legacy of lockdown. This timely book is a celebration of the vast variety of wildlife around us, proving that you don't need a trip to the countryside to enjoy the natural world.

    Computer Architecture and Organization is a foundational subject in computer science and engineering that explores the internal structure and functioning of computer systems. It encompasses the design principles of hardware components, how these components interact, and the organizational methods used to optimize performance, efficiency, and functionality. 
    This detailed document explores the critical concepts of computer architecture and organization, from basic logic gates to complex processor pipelines. Topics include the von Neumann model, instruction set architecture (ISA), CPU organization, memory hierarchy, input/output systems, control units, pipelining, RISC vs CISC, parallelism, and modern trends like multi-core systems, GPU architectures, and quantum computing potentials. 
    The document also discusses the distinctions between architecture (the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure) and organization (the realization and implementation of architecture), illustrating their interdependence.

    Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
     
     
     
    Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
     
     
     
    A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.

    The journey toward modern power cell technology began with a simple, yet profound, question: How could we store energy efficiently for future use? Early efforts to store and harness energy date back to the 19th century, but it wasn't until the 20th century that the foundations for power cells—an essential part of our energy storage systems—were truly laid. 
    In the 1950s, the advent of the first rechargeable batteries marked a critical turning point. While earlier technologies had focused on single-use solutions, the development of rechargeable batteries, such as the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, offered a glimpse into the potential for sustainable energy storage. Scientists, engineers, and inventors sought to solve the problem of storing energy in a way that was both compact and reliable, an issue that had long hampered the efficiency of early electrical systems. 
    The early breakthroughs were just the beginning. As the world began to recognize the importance of renewable energy sources—wind, solar, and hydroelectric power—the need for effective energy storage became even more pressing. Renewable energy production, often intermittent, required reliable methods to store excess energy for times when generation was low. This gave rise to research into more efficient and sustainable battery technologies, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in energy storage.
