Bee-Master of Warrilow

Tickner Edwardes

"Is it true that a bee can only sting once?" I asked him, as he bent again over the crocus beds. 
 
He laughed. 
 
"What would be the good of a sword to a soldier," he said, "if only one blow could be struck with it? It is certainly true that the bee does not usually sting a second time, but that is only because you are too hasty with her. ...But now watch how the thing works naturally." 
 
A bee had settled on his hand as he was speaking. He closed his fingers gently over it, and forced it to sting. 
 
"Now," he continued, quite unconcernedly, "look what really happens..." (from The Bee-Master of Warrilow) 
 
The Bee-Master of Warrilow, steeped from his earliest years in the lore of his bee-keeping forefathers, is a guardian of the English bee-garden life and of the fascinating creature that is the honey bee. (Summary by Steve C)

QUANTUM PHYSICS FOR BEGINNERS -...

Richard J. Schrödinger

Is it possible for two objects to be in two places at once? Can cause and effect happen in reverse? Is time travel possible?
Believe it or not, it is possible: welcome to the Quantum World!
Unlike other arguments, however, the real difficulty is not in understanding, but in accepting something completely senseless, precisely in the right meaning of the term: not sensible, that is, contrary to the perception of our senses. You will notice that quantum mechanics is much "easier" than the theory of relativity.
In fact, you could get a child to help you digest certain concepts. The great difficulty does not lie in their complexity, but their absurdity in terms of logic acquired after many years of existence in a world that constantly follows certain rules.
★★★In this book you will learn:★★★What the interference is;How many dimensions the Universe has;Quantum wave function;What Particles of Light are.The relation between waves and particles;The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle;How particles can be in multiple places at once;Quantum entanglement;
…and much more!
Quantum Physics for Beginners is at the basis of all the technological innovations of today, from atomic energy to computer microelectronics, from digital clocks to lasers, semiconductor systems, photoelectric cells, diagnostic and treatment equipment for many diseases. In short, today we can live in a "modern" way thanks to Quantum Physics and its applications.
This comprehensive beginner’s guide to quantum mechanics explains the most important and stunning quantum experiments that show quantum physics is real.
Are you ready? Let’s dive into the fascinating science of Quantum Physics by scrolling up the page and pressing the button to get your copy now!

In the Name of Sharks - 1st Edition

François Sarano

Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the latest scientific research on the biology and ethology of sharks and their exceptional characteristics, this book aims to break through the barrier of prejudice and to pay homage to their true nature. Representing a last vestige of wildness, their populations are nevertheless under threat—like so many species, they have been hunted and exploited by humans. Sarano argues for a change of mindset in which we lose ourselves in the world of the other, so that each living entity, human and non-human, can take their rightful place in the broader global ecosystem.
