Small vs Giant

Nora Franklin

Sinopse

'Small vs Giant' offers a fascinating exploration of how size fundamentally shapes life across the animal kingdom, from microscopic tardigrades to massive blue whales. The book meticulously examines the relationship between physical size and survival strategies, revealing how creatures of different scales have evolved distinct solutions to life's basic challenges.

 
Through careful comparative analysis, readers discover how body size influences everything from metabolic processes and heat regulation to hunting techniques and social behavior. Beginning with fundamental physics principles that govern different size scales, the book progresses through increasingly complex aspects of biological adaptation.

 
Readers learn how tiny water bears achieve survival through cryptobiosis, while large mammals like elephants maintain life through sophisticated circulatory systems. The analysis spans multiple scientific disciplines, connecting principles of physics and evolutionary biology to explain how size shapes ecological roles and survival strategies.

 
Written in an accessible yet scientifically rigorous style, the book combines laboratory research, field observations, and computational models to present a comprehensive view of size-based biological principles. Detailed illustrations and microscopic imagery support the text's careful explanations, making complex concepts understandable for both casual nature enthusiasts and serious biology students.

 
This unique approach to understanding biological diversity demonstrates how physical scale influences every aspect of an organism's existence, from its metabolic efficiency to its role in complex ecosystems.

The Physics of Light and Color -...

Mark Hedges

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It is essential for the process of vision and plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. The study of light, known as optics, explores how light behaves, interacts with matter, and is perceived by the human eye. Color, on the other hand, is the result of how light interacts with objects and is perceived by the brain. The interaction between light and matter can produce a wide range of effects, such as reflection, refraction, and dispersion, which give rise to the rich variety of colors we see in the world around us. 
The nature of light can be understood through both particle and wave theories. In the early 20th century, scientists realized that light behaves not only as a wave but also as a particle. This wave-particle duality is one of the key concepts of quantum mechanics, where light exhibits both wave-like properties, such as interference and diffraction, and particle-like properties, such as when it is absorbed or emitted in discrete packets called photons. These photons carry energy and momentum, and their interactions with matter give rise to various phenomena that are central to the physics of light.

Internet Marketing - Secrets Of...

Owen Jones

The information in this ebook on various aspects of using the Internet to your advantage is organised into 20 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line. In fact, the number of people trying to make (some extra) money online has skyrocketed over the last ten or twelve years, but especially since the Covid-19 lockdowns. 
Not everything can be blamed on Covid-19 though. Britain, for example, has suffered twelve years of ‘austerity’ brought in by a government that seems no longer to care about the electorate. First they blamed the banking crisis; then the influx of foreign labour; then Covid; and now Brexit and the war in the Ukraine. No doubt you have heard similar excuses where you live. Anyway, the result has been exorbitant inflation and a reduction in wages, and that has led to enterprising people trying improve their situation by working online. This book is for you. I hope that it helps.
