  Biomimetics - How Lessons From...

  Brian Clegg

  • 0

  An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. 
   
  Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems. 
   
  Science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

  The ultimate interactive public speaking guide from tech speakers 
  Poornima Vijayashanker and Karen Catlin that prepares and encourages  
  techies to discover their expertise, confidently share it, and successfully level up in their careers. 
   
  Techies around the world can now jump start and grow their speaking careers with the book, Present! A Techie’s Guide to Public Speaking, written by tech leaders, Poornima Vijayashanker and Karen Catlin. The book serves as a resource for technology professionals who want or need to develop the skills to communicate their expertise effectively, whether in a meeting at work or delivering an engaging talk at a conference. 
   
  Poornima, who is the founder of Femgineer and the founding engineer of Mint.com, collaborated with former Adobe vice president and founder of Karen Catlin Consulting, Karen Catlin, to compile and share their lessons, tips, and techniques learned from their own experiences as professional tech speakers. 
   
  “Karen and I wanted to write this book so that our fellow techies would have a comprehensive resource to help them with their own public speaking endeavors. So many folks in the tech industry have amazing ideas and experience, but they often feel stuck on how to present them effectively. Also, our hope is that more women will be inspired by our stories and encouraged to get out there and share their own valuable expertise through public speaking in order to boost representation of women tech speakers,” Poornima said. 
   
  Present! covers public speaking from A to Z. Through stories, examples, and interactive exercises, Poornima and Karen dive into topics including, overcoming stage fright, exploring personal speaking style, creating the right talk for the right audience, polishing presence and delivery, and nailing any type of talk, whether it’s a lightning or long-form talk or being part of a panel. 
   
  Karen said, “Even though Poornima and I are professional speakers, we felt it was important to share our own feelings of nerves and uncertainty, and bumps we’ve had along the way - and sometimes continue to experience. It was important for us to communicate that no one is perfect and it really is okay when talks don’t always go according to plan. Our hope is that by being open, we’ll be able to give others the confidence and the techniques to handle situations when they arise, deliver an amazing presentation, and most importantly, have FUN”!

  This detailed document explores the critical concepts of computer architecture and organization, from basic logic gates to complex processor pipelines. Topics include the von Neumann model, instruction set architecture (ISA), CPU organization, memory hierarchy, input/output systems, control units, pipelining, RISC vs CISC, parallelism, and modern trends like multi-core systems, GPU architectures, and quantum computing potentials. 
  The document also discusses the distinctions between architecture (the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure) and organization (the realization and implementation of architecture), illustrating their interdependence.

  Can Medicine be Cured?

  Seamus O'Mahony

  • 0

  • 0

  A fierce, honest, elegant and often hilarious debunking of the great fallacies that drive modern medicine. 
  Seamus O'Mahony writes about the illusion of progress, the notion that more and more diseases can be 'conquered' ad infinitum. He punctures the idiocy of consumerism, the idea that healthcare can be endlessly adapted to the wishes of individuals. He excoriates the claims of Big Science, the spending of vast sums on research follies like the Human Genome Project. And he highlights one of the most dangerous errors of industrialized medicine: an over-reliance on metrics, and a neglect of things that can't easily be measured, like compassion. 
  'A deeply fascinating and rousing book' MAIL ON SUNDAY 
  'What makes this book a delightful, if unsettling read, is not just O'Mahony's scholarly and witty prose, but also his brutal honesty' THE TIMES
