Sinossi

In "The Birds of Jamaica," Philip Henry Gosse expertly compiles an extensive ornithological record of Jamaica's avian fauna, showcasing his keen observational skills and scientific rigor. The book employs a meticulous descriptive style that reflects both Gosse's reverence for the natural world and the Victorian spirit of exploration prevalent during his time. Each species is carefully detailed with attention to its habitat, behavior, and distinctive features, setting the stage for a rich understanding of Jamaica's biodiversity, while also contributing to the broader field of natural history documentation that was gaining prominence in the 19th century. Philip Henry Gosse was a prominent naturalist and writer whose meticulous approach to observation was inspired by his early life immersed in nature. Born in England in 1810, he passionately engaged with the natural world from a young age, becoming a pioneering figure in the fields of natural history and marine biology. His experiences in Jamaica, where he settled temporarily, allowed him to harness his zeal for exploration and research, leading to this invaluable contribution that reflects both his scientific acumen and artistic sensibility. This work is highly recommended for anyone interested in ornithology, natural history, or the rich biodiversity of Caribbean islands. Gosse's ability to blend scientific detail with engaging prose opens the door for readers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Jamaica's birdlife, making it a vital resource for both scholars and nature enthusiasts alike.

    Medical microbiology is a branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of microorganisms and their role in human health and disease. It encompasses the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Understanding the fundamental principles of medical microbiology is essential for the effective diagnosis and management of infectious diseases, which continue to represent a significant global health challenge. 
    Microorganisms are ubiquitous and can be found in almost every environment on Earth, including the human body. The human microbiome, a collection of trillions of microorganisms living within and on our bodies, plays a crucial role in maintaining health. While many of these microorganisms are harmless or even beneficial, others are pathogenic and capable of causing diseases. The ability of pathogens to infect, survive, and reproduce in human hosts is the cornerstone of infectious disease. 
    The study of medical microbiology involves understanding the characteristics of pathogens, how they cause disease, and how the human immune system responds to these invaders. Pathogens are typically classified into several groups based on their structure, genetic makeup, and mode of transmission. Bacteria, for example, are single-celled organisms that can either be beneficial or harmful. Viruses, which are much smaller than bacteria, are unable to replicate on their own and require a host cell for reproduction. Fungi and parasites, which include yeasts, molds, protozoa, and helminths, also contribute to a wide variety of infections in humans.

    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’.

    The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
     
     
      
    Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
     
     
      
    Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.

    “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
