We Dare to Fly

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where stars twinkle like celestial diamonds and planets dance in harmony, lies a realm of wonder and mystery that has captivated humanity for millennia—space. This book takes you on an enthralling journey through the history of space exploration, from its humble beginnings to its awe-inspiring achievements.

From the dawn of the space age, when Sputnik's launch ignited a global race to conquer the heavens, to the triumphant moment when Neil Armstrong took his historic first steps on the moon, we witness the indomitable spirit of human exploration. Through the trials and tribulations, the successes and failures, we discover the extraordinary stories of the brave men and women who dared to venture beyond the confines of Earth.

Beyond the moon, we explore the vast reaches of our solar system, unraveling the secrets of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and beyond. We encounter the beauty of cosmic phenomena—pulsating nebulae, swirling galaxies, and the enigmatic black holes that hold the universe's mysteries. As we venture further into the cosmos, the search for extraterrestrial life captivates our imagination, leading us to ponder the profound question: are we alone?

This book delves into the cutting-edge advancements that are shaping the future of space exploration. From the International Space Station, a symbol of international cooperation, to the rise of private space companies, we witness the dawn of a new era in space travel. The possibilities are limitless—human colonies on Mars, mining asteroids for valuable resources, and even interstellar travel to distant stars.

But space exploration is not without its challenges. We face the harsh realities of space—the unforgiving vacuum, the relentless radiation, and the immense distances that separate us from other worlds. Yet, these challenges serve as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of humanity. With each step forward, we push the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding, expanding the horizons of human possibility.

This book is an invitation to embark on a voyage of discovery, to explore the wonders of the cosmos and to dream of what lies beyond. It is a celebration of human curiosity, perseverance, and the boundless potential that lies within us. As we continue our cosmic journey, we carry with us the hope and aspiration of generations past and the dreams of generations to come. The future of space exploration is in our hands, and the possibilities are truly limitless.

Zoology - The Animal Kingdom

Mike Crawford

Zoology, the scientific study of animals, is a broad and dynamic field that encompasses a wide range of topics, from the anatomy and physiology of organisms to their behaviors, evolutionary history, and interactions with their environments. It is a fundamental branch of biology, crucial for understanding life on Earth. The word "zoology" comes from the Greek words "zoo," meaning animal, and "logos," meaning study, thus literally translating to the "study of animals." This field not only explores the diversity of animal life but also offers insights into the nature of life itself and the interrelationships among all living organisms. 
The scope of zoology is vast, as it covers every aspect of animal life, from the microscopic world of single-celled organisms to the complex behaviors of large mammals. The study of zoology can be broken down into several subfields, such as physiology, behavior, evolution, ecology, and taxonomy, each of which provides valuable information about the functioning of animals in the natural world. For example, physiologists examine how animals’ bodily systems—like the nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems—function to maintain life, while evolutionary biologists trace the development of animal species over time. Ecologists focus on how animals interact with their environments, while taxonomists classify and name the vast array of species found on Earth.

DESCRIPTION
Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications.
Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students.

The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book.

Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary.

These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom.

Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition.

We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.

Code White - Sounding the Alarm...

Margaret M. Keith, James T. Brophy

When health care workers call a Code White, it’s an emergency response for a violent incident: a call for help. But it’s one that goes unanswered in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care homes across the country. Code White exposes a shocking epidemic of violence that’s hidden in plain sight, one in which workers are bruised, battered, assaulted, and demeaned, but carry on in silence, with little recourse or support.
		 
Researchers Margaret M. Keith and James T. Brophy lay bare the stories of over one hundred nurses and personal support workers, aides and porters, clerical workers and cleaners. The nightmarish experiences they relate are not one-off incidents, but symptoms of deep systemic flaws that have transformed health care into one of the most dangerous occupational sectors in Canada.
		 
The same questions echo in the wake of each and every brutal encounter: Is violence and trauma really just “part of the job”? Why is this going underreported and unchecked? What needs to be done, and how?
