  The fascinating inside story of how the Android operating system came to be. 
   
   
   
  In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software but couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, delivering an operating system (including camera software) to over 3 billion devices worldwide. This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. 
   
   
   
  Androids: The Team that Built the Android Operating System is a first-hand chronological account of how the startup began, how the team came together, and how they all built an operating system from the kernel level to its applications, and everything in between. It describes the tenuous beginnings of this ambitious project as a tiny startup, then as a small acquisition by Google that took on an industry with strong, entrenched competition. Author Chet Haase joined the Android team at Google in May 2010 and later recorded conversations with team members to preserve the early days of Android's history leading to the launch of 1.0. This engaging and accessible book captures the developers' stories in their own voices to answer the question: How did Android succeed?

  Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning describes how coral reefs have alternately flourished and declined over the last fifty years and the dynamics of these changes. The study is based on recordings at thirty different locations along the Sudanese coast, visited by the author between 1971 and 1973. 
   
  Beyond the Red Sea's desert shores lie some of the richest and most diverse coral reefs on our planet. Over a thousand species of reef fishes, matched by a similar abundance of living corals, creating habitats scientists were only just beginning to understand. The complexity of the interrelations was truly mesmerizing. A single intervention, such as removal of a key species, could cause the whole community to collapse. Healthy corals were transformed into green weed-smothered reefs, accompanied by the loss of both corals and fish. 
   
  Based on the author's observations of how knowledge and perspectives have changed over the last fifty years, this book highlights lessons learned from historical records that may help maintain and reestablish coral reefs in the years to come. 
   
  Topics covered include: CORAL REEF FISH (fish surveys); CORAL REEF PROFILES (coral growth rates, coral distribution, and corals on 'Cousteau garage'); CORAL THREATS (climate change, coral bleaching, coral diseases, coral sponges, Terpios hoshinota, coral predators, and coral urchins);  
  CORAL—ALGAE; CORAL RESEARCH; and more . . .
