Sinossi

A military study of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
 
Fought over the course of forty-four days, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. In 7 Seconds to Die, military consultant and historian John Antal examines the decisive factors of the war and their implications for the future of armed conflict. 
 
The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. The Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.

    This book takes readers on a thrilling journey through the hidden layers of the cosmos. In Exploring the Invisible, we peer beyond the limits of human sight into a world driven by forces we can’t touch or see—like gravity, dark matter, and the quantum fields that ripple beneath reality. 
    In Invisible Worlds, the adventure continues as we dive into the possibility of hidden dimensions, parallel universes, and strange particles that whisper secrets about how space and time truly work. Scientists are only beginning to uncover the shadowy realms that influence everything from how galaxies form to how atoms behave. 
    Finally, Space's Hidden Forces reveals the quiet rulers of the universe—dark energy expanding space at lightning speed, magnetic fields shaping stars, and neutrinos flying through us every second. These unseen powers may hold the answers to the biggest questions in science, reshaping what we think we know about existence itself.

    Until the middle of the nineteenth century entropy and energy were confused with one another. The intellectual fog slowly cleared and now these words name subtle and powerful concepts. Most people think they know what energy is, but few could define entropy.This Very Short Introduction traces the emergence of entropy and energy as distinct concepts, and explains how entropy spread from thermodynamics into statistical mechanics, probability theory and data science. It explains the implications of entropy for heat pumps, solar cells, carbon capture, and liquified natural gas. Quantum mechanics and gravity open new horizons for entropy, and when combined in the quantum theory of black holes, they call into question our current understanding of material reality.

    This book explores the fascinating world of two critical fields in physics: plasma physics and fluid dynamics. Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, plays a crucial role in everything from the sun’s energy production to potential advancements in controlled fusion energy. Plasma physics investigates the behavior of ionized gases under various conditions, aiming to harness this powerful energy source. Controlled fusion, a field within plasma physics, focuses on replicating the energy-producing reactions of the sun, offering a potential solution for sustainable, clean energy. Meanwhile, fluid dynamics, the study of the movement of liquids and gases, impacts various applications from engineering and meteorology to biology. 
    This book delves into the intricate interactions between these two domains, examining how fluids and plasmas behave under different forces, temperatures, and magnetic fields. By integrating plasma physics, controlled fusion, and fluid dynamics, the text provides a comprehensive understanding of how motion and energy interact on both a micro and macro scale. The principles outlined have far-reaching implications for both theoretical research and practical applications, including energy generation, propulsion systems, and the study of natural phenomena such as weather patterns and ocean currents.
