Sinopsis

"Shape World" reveals the profound impact of shapes on our environment, from the microscopic to the monumental. Exploring geometric principles, the book examines how shapes interact to create complex structures in both nature and architecture.

 
Did you know that the efficiency of a honeycomb is a prime example of tessellation, or that symmetry is a fundamental principle in both the design of a butterfly's wings and the facade of a building? The book begins by introducing core geometric concepts and then progresses to explore how shapes combine, emphasizing tessellation and symmetry.

 
It concludes with real-world examples ranging from honeycombs and crystals to bridges and skyscrapers. The book uniquely presents parallel examples from the natural world and human-engineered structures, highlighting how similar geometric principles apply to both, and touches on their application to sustainable design.

 
By understanding shapes, readers gain insight into design, structural integrity, and artistic expression. This book provides a fresh perspective on how geometry informs the world around us.

A Dignified Life - Revised and...

MPH David Troxel, MSW Virginia Bell

More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related form of dementia. By the year 2030, experts estimate that as many as 66 million people will be faced with this life-altering disease. These statistics impact millions of caregivers. Compared with all types of caregivers, those who assist someone with dementia experience the highest levels of burnout, depression, poor health, and premature death. A Dignified Life, Revised and Expanded offers hope and help. 
 
 
 
Ten years ago, the first edition of A Dignified Life changed the way the caregiving community approached Alzheimer's disease by showing caregivers how to act as a Best Friend to the person. Firmly grounded in the latest knowledge about dementia, this expanded edition offers a wealth of tips and advice. 
 
 
 
While medical treatment of the disease hasn't changed, our understanding and awareness of treating people in a more caring way has changed. With no cure, respectful care by effective and compassionate care partners is the only real "treatment" available. The Best Friends Approach is successful because it sustains people's connection to their world, their loved ones, and themselves. A Dignified Life shows how to bring dignity, meaning, and peace of mind to the lives of both those who have Alzheimer's and dementia and those who care for them.

Kargil - From Surprise To Victory

V.P. Malik

""General Malik's book...stands out as perhaps the most valuable 
contribution to our military literature since Independence."" 
-The Tribune 
""Malik deserves credit for a frank and refreshing analysis of the 
first limited war fought by two nuclear powered states. His theory 
about the possibilities of further conflict would go a long way in 
shaping India's military strategy."" 
-The Telegraph 
""General Malik's account...is comprehensive, straight from the 
shoulder and interesting to a range of readers.... This...volume 
will certainly be a reference point, not just in discussions on the 
Kargil conflict, but also in the way the Indian army perceives vital 
issues like nuclear deterrence."" 
-Business Standard 
In February 1999, Pakistani Army personnel, disguised as jihadi militants, infiltrated into mountainous Kargil and occupied key vantage points. Their intrusion triggered a limited war between the world's newest nuclear states. It was a bitter battle, and one that threw up important lessons for India's defence preparedness, as also its responses to conflicts such as this. This incisive book by General V.P. Malik, former Chief of the Army Staff, analyses the reasoning behind the Pakistani Army's moves and tactics and reviews crucial issues such as the extent of intelligence and surveillance failure on the Indian side and the measures necessary to redress these failings. Away from questions of strategy and tactics, however, Kargil is also a reminder of the unalloyed heroism that was on display during those grim weeks, heroism that become a benchmark for valour.

Habit Forming - Drug Addiction...

Elizabeth Kelly Gray

Habitual drug use in the United States is at least as old as the nation itself. Habit Forming traces the history of unregulated drug use and dependency before 1914, when the Harrison Narcotic Tax Act limited sales of opiates and cocaine under US law. Many Americans used opiates and other drugs medically and became addicted. Some tried Hasheesh Candy, injected morphine, or visited opium dens, but neither use nor addiction was linked to crime, due to the dearth of restrictive laws. After the Civil War, American presses published extensively about domestic addiction. Later in the nineteenth century, many used cocaine and heroin as medicine. As addiction became a major public health issue, commentators typically sympathized with white, middle-class drug users, while criticizing such use by poor or working-class people and people of color. When habituation was associated with middle-class morphine users, few advocated for restricted drug access. By the 1910s, as use was increasingly associated with poor young men, support for regulations increased. In outlawing users' access to habit-forming drugs at the national level, a public health problem became a larger legal and social problem, one with an enduring influence on American drug laws and their enforcement.
