Summary

"Espresso for Android Automated Testing""Espresso for Android Automated Testing" is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for software engineers, QA professionals, and Android developers seeking to master the complexities of UI automation on the platform. Beginning with a rich historical context, the book explores automated testing’s evolution within Android, unpacks the testing spectrum from unit through UI layers, and candidly addresses the unique challenges posed by Android’s vast device landscape. With a clear comparative analysis of major frameworks, readers gain a firm foundation for strategically advancing their test automation practices.Diving deeply into Espresso’s architecture, the book skillfully dissects Espresso’s core mechanics—including matchers, actions, assertions, and its sophisticated synchronization model—while providing advanced guidance for crafting custom extensions, managing test orchestration, and architecting robust, maintainable test suites. Through detailed case studies and hands-on techniques, readers learn how to tackle complex UI scenarios such as dynamic RecyclerViews, custom view hierarchies, WebViews, intricate gestures, and the nuances of asynchronous behavior. Best practices for state management, parameterization, diagnostics, and fixture design are thoroughly addressed, empowering teams to deliver flake-resistant and reliable tests at any scale.Beyond technical mastery of Espresso, the book addresses the full software development lifecycle by integrating UI testing into modern CI/CD pipelines, overcoming fragmentation, and leveraging parallelism for scalable execution. Topics including security, privacy, accessibility, localization, and performance testing reflect real-world challenges, while dedicated chapters on test code maintainability, flakiness management, and onboarding new contributors help organizations create a sustainable test automation culture. Concluding with an exploration of emerging trends—such as AI-augmented testing, cross-platform strategies, and continuous quality engineering—this book is an indispensable guide to engineering high-quality, resilient Android apps in an ever-evolving landscape.

    Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
     
     
     
    "In the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: 'remote trout lake,' 'fish up to thirteen pounds,' 'the place the guides fish on their days off,'" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best—explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. The View from Rat Lake deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip.

    Everyone has heard of the term "pseudoscience," typically used to describe something that looks like science, but is somehow false, misleading, or unproven. Given the virulence of contemporary disputes over the denial of climate change and anti-vaccination movements—both of which display allegations of "pseudoscience" on all sides—there is a clear need to better understand issues of scientific demarcation. 
     
     
     
    Pseudoscience: A Very Short Introduction explores the philosophical and historical attempts to address this problem of demarcation. This book argues that by understanding doctrines that are often seen as antithetical to science, we can learn a great deal about how science operated in the past and does today. This exploration raises several questions: How is the status of science shaped by political or cultural contexts? How does pseudoscience differ from scientific fraud? 
     
     
     
    Michael D. Gordin both answers these questions and guides listeners along a bewildering array of marginalized doctrines, looking at parapsychology (ESP), Lysenkoism, scientific racism, and alchemy, among others, to better understand the struggle to define what science is and is not. Pseudoscience: A Very Short Introduction provides a historical tour through many of these fringe fields in order to provide tools to think deeply about scientific controversies.

    Justin Hocking grew up in a part of Colorado where so many things happened beneath the surface—mining exploits, underground nuclear testing just thirty miles from his family's home, and geothermal activity that heats one of the world's largest hot spring pools. His homelife, too, was plagued by hidden patterns of abuse and virulent masculinity. A Field Guide to the Subterranean charts the author's lifelong process of unearthing the past and reclaiming his own identity and connection to the natural world. 
     
     
     
    How might we transform our traumas into deeper care for one another and the landscapes that sustain us? How do we transcend the mythos of the rugged American male so rooted in extraction and exploitation? And how far can we move beyond the self in a memoir? Hocking explores these and other vital questions by combining personal introspection with expansive narratives that examine geology, ecology, gender theory, mining history, labor rights, and even skateboarding. 
     
      
     
    Abundant with historical research and teeming with birdlife—and ranging in location from remote caves and mountains to secluded surf breaks in Costa Rica—A Field Guide to the Subterranean heralds a boldly original and kaleidoscopic approach to the genres of memoir and nature writing.
