Sinopse

Transparent Wood explores the revolutionary potential of a novel bio-based composite, poised to transform sustainable construction and various advanced material applications. This technology addresses the limitations of conventional materials like glass and steel, which are either brittle or contribute significantly to carbon emissions. The book reveals how removing lignin, the substance that gives wood its color, and replacing it with polymers can create a material stronger than traditional wood while allowing light to pass through.

 
The book details various methods of delignification, including chemical and emerging bio-based techniques, to enhance the strength and durability of the wood. It meticulously presents data from material science testing, showcasing the enhanced properties of transparent wood compared to conventional materials.

 
Structured to guide the reader through the evolution of this exciting technology, the book progresses from the basic concepts of wood science and transparency principles to the diverse applications of transparent wood in architecture, solar cells, and sustainable development.

    Upon completing his historic work on the Human Genome Project, J. Craig Venter declared that he would sequence the genetic code of all life on earth. Thus began a fifteen-year quest to collect DNA from the world's oldest and most abundant form of life: microbes. Boarding the Sorcerer II, a 100-foot sailboat turned research vessel, Venter traveled over 65,000 miles around the globe to sample ocean water and the microscopic life within. 
     
     
     
    In The Voyage of Sorcerer II, Venter and science writer David Ewing Duncan tell the remarkable story of these expeditions and of the momentous discoveries that ensued—of plant-like bacteria that get their energy from the sun, proteins that metabolize vast amounts of hydrogen, and microbes whose genes shield them from ultraviolet light. The result was a massive library of millions of unknown genes, thousands of unseen protein families, and new lineages of bacteria that revealed the unimaginable complexity of life on earth. Yet despite this exquisite diversity, Venter encountered sobering reminders of how human activity is disturbing the delicate microbial ecosystem that nurtures life on earth. In the face of unprecedented climate change, Venter and Duncan show how we can harness the microbial genome to develop alternative sources of energy, food, and medicine that might ultimately avert our destruction.

    This book is the best recipe for becoming an expert on information security. If you aspire to be a security expert by taking the CISSP exam, there is no shortage of books that claim to be the ultimate solution to information security. They dupe students into thinking that they are the only books on the market for this specific subject. 
    Well, they may be dubbed as the ultimate but are they the most reader-friendly books for this dry subject? Will there be any juice to be consumed by the reader and fiber to digest? Are those books written easy to under language? If those book authors have crammed their work with technical jargon, I must plead with you to avoid this confusion. 
    What makes this book different from the other books on the market is the fact that it is written in a lucid and coherent form. You will find all the topics well-connected and written in easy and simple language. The book contains the following topics: 
    •Security Principles 
    •Security Threats and Countermeasures 
    •Business Continuity Planning 
    •Incident Response Planning 
    •Security Models and Controls 
    •Secure Communications 
    •And lots more!
