  In recent years it computing developed with great speed. According to scientist Gordon Earl Moore, the number of transistors on a processor would double every 24 months or so. Transistors are the fundamental elements for a processor to perform calculations. Therefore, this prediction known as Moore's Law means that the processing power of a computer would double every two years. 
  Regularly see companies like Intel and AMD launch ever faster processors. For this, it is necessary to manipulate portions of the increasingly smaller area. But there is a limit to this. When transistors are beginning to be made with only a few molecules, it is difficult to reduce its size further and thus increase the capacity of our electronics. 
  Therefore, quantum computing is the science that studies the use of quantum mechanics to perform computational processing.

  A veteran environmentalist shares her roadmap to a healthier world—one that uses the law to empower activists and provide hope for communities everywhere.
  We have reached a critical tipping point in our fight for the environment: Corporations profit off climate change, natural disasters devastate homes, and the most vulnerable suffer the health effects of pollution. Yet our laws are designed to accommodate this destruction rather than prevent it. Without government support, it's no wonder people feel powerless. But there is a solution.
  In The Green Amendment, veteran environmentalist Maya K. van Rossum presents her radically simple plan for a green future: bypass local laws and turn to the ultimate authority—our state and federal constitutions—to ensure we have the right to a healthy environment.
  Through compelling interviews with activists on the ground, clear evidence from experts, and heartbreaking stories from those hit hardest by environmental ruin, The Green Amendment lights the path forward. In this updated edition of her trailblazing 2017 book, van Rossum invites readers to join the movement by sharing:
  
  - Why Green Amendments work where other movements have failed
  - How to position Green Amendments and what specific language offers the strongest legal protections
  - How to argue in favor of environmental rights, and the economic and health benefits that will help activists make the case
  - How Green Amendments address the crucial intersection of environmentalism and anti-racism
  - What everyone—from artists and students to scientists and lawyer—can do to further the cause
  With the power of The Green Amendment, we can claim our environmental rights, ensuring a clean, safe Earth for generations to come.

  What astronauts' extraordinary experiences of awe and humility teach us about humanity. What is it like to stand in the shadow of Earth and the Moon and look out at the vastness of the Milky Way? To confront a view so grand it cannot be reproduced in a photo? These are the questions space anthropologist Deana L. Weibel asked as she interviewed astronauts and others in the space community. What they told her was not just surprising but also deeply moving. When gazing into star fields not fully visible from Earth, these astronauts experienced a profound sense of humility that fundamentally transformed their understanding of humanity. Welcome to the ultraview effect. The ultraview effect expands on the classic "overview effect." Comparing spacefarers to religious pilgrims, Weibel suggests that this experience of deep humility is a generative reaction to awe, which inspires exploration and adventure. When facing the vastness of the universe, acknowledging our monumental ignorance is what drives our will to discover. A fascinating dive into science, cognition, and spirituality, The Ultraview Effect draws from astronauts' own accounts to make the case that continued human space exploration is not only a scientifically essential endeavor but also a culturally enriching one.
