Sinossi

This book is designed for computer science undergraduates and professionals interested in mastering 3D graphics using OpenGL in Java with JOGL. It follows a “teach-yourself” format with numerous examples that can be run as presented. Unique in its approach, it covers OpenGL 4.0+ shader programming using Java, providing all the necessary materials to install JOGL and execute every example. The course starts with an introduction to OpenGL and the graphics pipeline, followed by mathematical foundations essential for 3D graphics. It then delves into managing 3D graphics data, texture mapping, and creating 3D models. Lighting, shadows, and enhancing surface detail are covered, along with advanced techniques like parametric surfaces, tessellation, and geometry shaders. The final chapters explore simulating water, ray tracing, and stereoscopy for 3D glasses and VR headsets. This book equips readers with comprehensive skills in OpenGL programming and 3D graphics, making it an invaluable resource for developing sophisticated graphics applications. The practical approach ensures thorough learning, bridging the gap between theory and application.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if consciousness continues beyond clinical death, and ordinary people have returned with extraordinary proof of an afterlife? Journey through meticulously documented near-death experiences that challenge everything science tells us about consciousness and mortality. These aren't folklore or religious tales—they're verified accounts from credible witnesses whose lives were forever transformed by their encounters with death and return. Discover the remarkable story of Tom Sawyer, who survived 33,000 volts of electricity for twenty minutes, experiencing clinical death while witnessing profound revelations about existence, interconnectedness, and the nature of reality itself. Follow Dr. Lloyd Rudy's impossible surgical case that shattered a veteran heart surgeon's materialist worldview. Each account features extensive research, medical documentation, and follow-up studies that validate these extraordinary experiences. Explore detailed life reviews where experiencers relive every moment from multiple perspectives, understanding the ripple effects of their actions across time and space. Witness dramatic personality transformations, enhanced psychic abilities, and the complete loss of death anxiety that characterizes authentic near-death experiences. These stories offer compelling evidence for consciousness survival, featuring truck drivers, medical professionals, and ordinary individuals who encountered something beyond physical reality. Whether you're seeking comfort about mortality, exploring consciousness research, or investigating evidence for an afterlife, these thoroughly investigated cases provide profound insights into humanity's greatest mystery—what happens when we die.

    A fascinating tour of creatures from the surface to the deepest ocean floor: this "miraculous, transcendental book" invites us to envision wilder, grander, and more abundant possibilities for the way we live (Ed Yong, author of An Immense World). A queer, mixed race writer working in a largely white, male field, science and conservation journalist Sabrina Imbler has always been drawn to the mystery of life in the sea, and particularly to creatures living in hostile or remote environments. Each essay in their debut collection profiles one such creature, including:     ·the mother octopus who starves herself while watching over her eggs,     ·the Chinese sturgeon whose migration route has been decimated by pollution and dams,     ·the bizarre, predatory Bobbitt worm (named after Lorena),     ·the common goldfish that flourishes in the wild,     ·and more.  Imbler discovers that some of the most radical models of family, community, and care can be found in the sea, from gelatinous chains that are both individual organisms and colonies of clones to deep-sea crabs that have no need for the sun, nourished instead by the chemicals and heat throbbing from the core of the Earth. Exploring themes of adaptation, survival, sexuality, and care, and weaving the wonders of marine biology with stories of their own family, relationships, and coming of age, How Far the Light Reaches is a shimmering, otherworldly debut that attunes us to new visions of our world and its miracles.    WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE in SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY  Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award One of TIME’s 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year •  A PEOPLE Best New Book  •  A Barnes & Noble and SHELF AWARENESS Best Book of 2022  •  An Indie Next Pick  •  One of Winter’s Most Eagerly Anticipated Books: VANITY FAIR, VULTURE, BOOKRIOT

    A potent re-examination of America’s history of public disinvestment in mass transit. 
      
    Many a scholar and policy analyst has lamented American dependence on cars and the corresponding lack of federal investment in public transportation throughout the latter decades of the twentieth century. But as Nicholas Dagen Bloom shows in The Great American Transit Disaster, our transit networks are so bad for a very simple reason: we wanted it this way. 
      
    Focusing on Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and San Francisco, Bloom provides overwhelming evidence that transit disinvestment was a choice rather than destiny. He pinpoints three major factors that led to the decline of public transit in the United States: municipal austerity policies that denied most transit agencies the funding to sustain high-quality service; the encouragement of auto-centric planning; and white flight from dense city centers to far-flung suburbs. As Bloom makes clear, these local public policy decisions were not the product of a nefarious auto industry or any other grand conspiracy—all were widely supported by voters, who effectively shut out options for transit-friendly futures. With this book, Bloom seeks not only to dispel our accepted transit myths but hopefully to lay new tracks for today’s conversations about public transportation funding.

    "Lean Leadership and Management: A Practical Guide to Streamlining Success" serves as a comprehensive manual for leaders looking to implement lean principles in their organizations effectively. This guide breaks down the theoretical underpinnings of lean methodologies into actionable strategies, demonstrating how leaders can cultivate environments that embrace continuous improvement, efficiency, and customer-centricity. 
    The book starts with a deep dive into the fundamentals of lean thinking, explaining the core principles such as value stream mapping, waste elimination, and the continuous improvement process known as Kaizen. It emphasizes how these principles are not just tools but part of a broader philosophical approach to management that requires a change in mindset from top leadership levels down to frontline employees. 
    One of the standout features of the guide is its focus on the role of leadership in lean transformations. It argues that successful lean implementation is less about the tools and techniques and more about the behavior and commitment of the leaders. The book presents the traits of effective lean leaders—such as humility, curiosity, and empathy—and illustrates how these qualities are crucial in fostering a culture that is open to change and continuous improvement. 
    Practical case studies are scattered throughout the text, providing real-world examples of challenges and solutions in implementing lean strategies. These case studies help bridge the gap between theory and practice, showing readers how various concepts can be applied in different organizational contexts. Additionally, the guide includes templates and checklists to help leaders assess their current practices, plan lean initiatives, and measure their progress over time.
