Sinopsis

In "Riverby," John Burroughs offers a profound exploration of the natural world through a series of contemplative essays that seamlessly blend personal reflection with astute observations of wildlife and landscape. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of 19th-century American nature writing, Burroughs'Äôs prose invites readers to engage deeply with their surroundings, drawing on rich imagery and sensory detail. As an early proponent of the environmentalist movement, Burroughs contextualizes his work within the burgeoning appreciation for nature during the American Transcendentalist period, echoing the sentiments of contemporaries like Thoreau and Emerson while establishing his distinct voice. John Burroughs (1837-1921) was a naturalist and essayist whose lifelong affinity for the great outdoors began in his youth, growing up on a farm in New York. His interactions with nature fostered a passionate advocacy for ecological conservation, and his writings reflect a commitment to observing and preserving the beauty of the natural world. Burroughs'Äôs connections with influential figures in the conservation movement, alongside his travels and experiences in varied landscapes, culminated in this celebrated collection that seeks to inspire a reverent connection to nature through the written word. Readers who seek to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world will find "Riverby" to be an enriching companion. Burroughs'Äôs elegantly crafted prose not only enlightens but also encourages introspection and mindfulness about one'Äôs place within the environment. This book is essential for those who appreciate nature writing and the philosophical inquiries it inspires, making it a timeless classic in American letters.

Contrary to the doomist narrative that's taken hold about the climate emergency, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it. On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. From the Chinese bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon Musk, to the Danish students who helped to build the world's longest-operating wind turbine, or the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to bend the emissions curve. 
     
     
     
    Through stories that bring people, policy and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable.

    DESCRIPTION 
    Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications. 
    Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students. 
    
    The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book.

    Starting a software development project is easy … but finishing it? Successfully? is a different story. Software CAN be developed that meets real needs and its development can be both efficient and effective. But. You have to know what you are up against. You need to know what questions to ask and how to understand the answers. 
    A non-technical manager, business owner, or SaaS founder who is responsible for the creation of a software system has a problem. A big problem. Crafting a software system is a complex process fraught with unexpected difficulties, impenetrable jargon, and hidden risks. Overwhelming. 
    Adrift in a "fog of ignorance." You don't even know what you don't know ... 
    The depth of those gaps in your knowledge may be substantial, but they can be filled selectively by reading/learning or by hiring the expertise. But in that "fog of ignorance" there is not even enough information to guide the learning or hiring. 
    This book burns off that fog to at least get you the clarity on what your "gaps in knowledge" are. 
    This book is intended for non tech SaaS founders, managers, and owner/operators who do not have a technical background but who are in a position that includes leading one or more technical projects. A great gift for your PHB. 
    Dr Will has a BS, MS, and PhD all in Computer Science as well as 40+ years managing software projects in the US Air Force, Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Collective Technologies, Club Corp, STX Cadware, and his own business Paladin Logic, Ltd.

    Agriculture stands at the heart of human civilization, sustaining populations, economies, and ecosystems around the globe. As the primary source of food and materials for countless industries, agriculture is fundamental to our daily lives. Yet, as demand for food and resources grows, traditional farming practices have come under scrutiny for their impact on land, water, and ecosystems. This situation has sparked a profound exploration into how agriculture can evolve to meet future needs without compromising environmental health or resource availability. 
    In response to these challenges, sustainable agriculture has emerged as a guiding framework. Rather than depleting resources, sustainable agriculture seeks to work in harmony with nature, fostering productive systems that can endure and even improve over time. Key principles include conserving soil health, managing water resources responsibly, reducing reliance on chemical inputs, and promoting biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture not only aims to enhance the resilience of farming systems but also to address some of the long-standing issues in conventional agriculture, from soil degradation to pest resistance. 
    Advancements in technology and innovative farming practices play an essential role in this shift. Techniques such as precision farming, vertical agriculture, and renewable energy integration are now helping farmers produce more with less environmental impact. By adopting these methods, we can begin to build a resilient food system capable of withstanding fluctuations in demand and environmental pressures.
