Sinossi

"Memory Makers" presents a fascinating exploration of computer memory evolution, from the humble beginnings of 4-kilobyte RAM systems to today's terabyte-capable machines. This comprehensive journey through the history of data storage technology combines technical insight with human innovation, making complex concepts accessible to readers with basic technical knowledge.

 
The book expertly weaves together the development of various memory technologies, from magnetic core memory of the 1950s through semiconductor memory, DRAM, SRAM, and modern non-volatile solutions. The narrative unfolds across three main sections, beginning with fundamental memory concepts before diving into groundbreaking innovations like floating-gate transistors and error correction techniques.

 
Drawing from extensive research, including patents, engineer interviews, and industry data, the book illuminates how crucial challenges were overcome, such as the persistent battle against power consumption and heat generation. Through detailed schematics and case studies, readers gain practical insights into how major technology companies transformed theoretical possibilities into commercial realities.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to technical and historical content, making it valuable for both technology professionals and computing enthusiasts. While maintaining technical accuracy, it connects memory development to broader themes in materials science and economics, showing how decreased costs and increased storage capacity sparked new industries.

 
The book concludes by examining current trends and future possibilities, including quantum memory and biological storage systems, providing crucial context for understanding tomorrow's technological challenges in cloud computing, mobile devices, and artificial intelligence.

    Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
     
     
     
    In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
     
     
     
    Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.

    Amy Shah, MD, leading medical doctor and Instagram personality @fastingmd, shares her proven 5-step program for battling excessive hunger and food cravings by harnessing the power of psychobiotics and intermittent fasting. 
     
    “My mission is to revolutionize the way we think about hunger and nutrition, and to help people manage hunger and cravings and break free from the tyranny of diets and battles with food. I’ve seen my program work for people all over the world. And it will work for you, too.” —from the introduction by Dr. Amy Shah 
    Dr. Amy Shah kept hearing the same complaints from her patients: “I feel hungry all the time, even when I just ate.” “My cravings are out of control.” They were white-knuckling it through yet another diet plan, only to feel depleted, frustrated, and really effing hungry. 
    So she created I’m So Effing Hungry, a science-based plan designed to help you take charge of your health and your cravings, without feeling deprived. As Dr. Shah explains, cravings aren’t your fault—and eating a healthier diet isn’t just a matter of self-discipline or willpower. There are powerful biological forces at play in your body that govern your hunger levels and cravings. 
    Drawing on the emerging science of psychobiotics—healthy gut bacteria that help improve mood and regulate hunger, weight, and cravings—Dr. Shah has created a 5-step plan to help you make peace with food and your body: 
    STEP 1. REPLENISH: your body by eating more nourishing, mood-balancing foods. 
    STEP 2. REWIRE: your brain to undo the addiction pathways and cravings for processed foods. 
    STEP 3. RESET: your circadian rhythm to activate hunger hormones that reduce your appetite. 
    STEP 4. REFRESH: with a good night’s sleep, using proven good sleep habits used by the U.S. military. 
    STEP 5. RETRAIN: your body with exercise that regulates key neurotransmitters that influence our hunger response. 
    Complete with more than thirty delicious recipes and peppered with easy Hunger Hacks and Cravings Crushers—like eating walnuts to reduce hunger and getting direct sunlight first thing in the morning—I’m So Effing Hungry is a complete guide to help you reframe decades-old dieting patterns and stop fighting the scale. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
