Sinopsis

Smell Through Evolution explores the fascinating world of olfaction and its evolutionary journey, detailing how the sense of smell has shaped the lives of diverse species. The book examines the molecular mechanisms driving olfaction, the evolutionary pressures influencing olfactory systems, and the resulting ecological impacts.

 
Did you know a salmon uses its sense of smell to return to its birthplace, or that subtle changes in olfactory receptors can significantly impact an organism's survival?

 
The book uniquely integrates molecular, neurobiological, and ecological perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of how olfaction has evolved across different lineages, from insects to mammals. Chapters delve into pheromone detection, predator avoidance, and the extraordinary olfactory abilities of migratory animals.

 
By connecting genomics, neuroscience, and ecology, Smell Through Evolution highlights the profound impact of sensory systems on evolution and the intricate interplay between genes, environment, and behavior.

    Management is understood in different ways by different people. Economists regard it as a factor of production. Sociologists see it was a class or group of persons while practitioners of management treat it as a process. For our understand management may be viewed as what a manager does in a formal organization to achieve the objectives. It is called bee by Mary Parker Follet: “The art of getting things done through people”. This definition throws light on the fact that managers achieve organizational goals by enabling others to perform rather than performing the tasks themselves.The writer emphasizes on the project management skills with a maiden introduction of “Scrum project management skills”. Author has briefed the differences between management methodology of Scrum project management and other project management methods. 
    Scrum Project Management Method gives you: 
    1.Fast and easy understanding approach 
    2.A rapid process to reap the benefits quickly 
    3.It simplifies the toughest and difficult tasks technically 
    4.It is a framework in which you can join various processes and techniques

    String theory is a theoretical framework aiming to unify all fundamental forces and particles by positing that they are vibrations of one-dimensional "strings," rather than point-like particles. These strings, in different vibrational modes, correspond to various particle types and properties. 
      
    Key to string theory is the requirement of extra dimensions—beyond the familiar three spatial and one temporal dimension—that are typically compactified into small, curled-up spaces. These extra dimensions are crucial for the theory's mathematical consistency and to reconcile gravity with the other fundamental forces. 
      
    Central to its complexity are Calabi-Yau manifolds, complex multidimensional spaces used in the compactification process, influencing observable universe properties. Despite its potential to provide a unified framework for all physics forces, string theory faces challenges including mathematical intricacies, the lack of direct experimental verification, and numerous variant formulations.

    Elon & The Future That Forgot Us is a meditation on what happens when progress evolves faster than empathy. It chronicles the transformation of technology from servant to sovereign, exploring how humanity built machines in its image — and was quietly erased from the design. The story unfolds as both prophecy and elegy, examining our collective faith in innovation, the myth of genius, and the loneliness of a world that remembers everything except why it was created. Through poetic reflection, it questions whether the future we built can still recognize us, and whether memory — not speed — might be our last act of rebellion.

    Coinage—it is one of the most successful and consistent technologies ever invented. Nothing else we still use in everyday life has a history quite like it. Look around at all the things that would bewilder a Greek, Roman, or Renaissance ancestor; then, dig into your purse or pocket for that one artifact that they would immediately recognize. Historian Frank L. Holt takes us on a journey through the history of numismatics, the study of coins—one of the oldest and most important contributions to the arts and humanities. 
     
     
     
    For 2600 years, poets, economists, philosophers, historians, and theologians have pondered the mysteries of money. Who invented coins, and why? Does coinage function beyond our control? How has it changed world history and culture? What does numismatics reveal about our past that could never be discovered from any other source? How has numismatics advanced using modern science? Does it still suffer from racist ideas about physiognomy and phrenology? The approach taken in this book is as multifaceted as coined money itself. Coins are integral to our economic, social, political, religious, and cultural history. When Money Talks explores each aspect of coinage, and takes a special interest in how coins have appeared in literature and pop culture, ranging in its analysis from Greek drama and the New Testament to TV sitcoms and meme theory.

    “A sharp eye and an ingenious mind are at work on every page. . . . Read this book. . . . Then go forth, enjoy the view, and impress your friends.” —Laurence A. Marschall, Natural HistoryHow heavy is that cloud? Why can you see farther in rain than in fog? Why are the droplets on that spider web spaced apart so evenly?If you have ever asked questions like these while outdoors, and wondered how you might figure out the answers, this is a book for you. An entertaining and informative collection of fascinating puzzles from the natural world around us, A Mathematical Nature Walk will delight anyone who loves nature or math or both.John Adam presents ninety-six questions about many common natural phenomena—and a few uncommon ones—and then shows how to answer them using mostly basic mathematics. Can you weigh a pumpkin just by carefully looking at it? What causes the variations in the colors of butterfly wings, bird feathers, and oil slicks? And why are large haystacks prone to spontaneous combustion? These are just a few of the questions you'll find inside. Many of the problems are illustrated with photos and drawings, and the book also has answers, a glossary of terms, and a list of some of the patterns found in nature. About a quarter of the questions can be answered with arithmetic, and many of the rest require only precalculus. Regardless of math background, readers will learn from the informal descriptions of the problems and gain a new appreciation of the beauty of nature and the mathematics that lies behind it.“Remarkably lucid. . . . ordinary math becomes adventure.” —Booklist
