  On Time - Causality and the...

  This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
   
   
   
  The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.

  A riveting exposé of medical debt collection in America—and the profound financial and physical costs eroding patient trust in medicine 
   
   
   
  For the crime of falling sick without wealth, Americans today face lawsuits, wage garnishment, home foreclosure, and even jail time. 
   
   
   
  Yet who really profits from aggressive medical debt collection? And how does this predatory system affect patients and doctors responsible for their care? 
   
   
   
  Your Money or Your Life reveals how medical debt collection became a multi-billion-dollar industry and how everyday Americans are made to pay the price. Emergency physician and historian Luke Messac weaves patient stories into a history of law, finance, and medicine to show how debt and debt collection are destroying the foundational trust between doctors and patients at the heart of American healthcare. The fight to stop aggressive collection tactics has brought together people from all corners of the political spectrum. But if we want to better protect the sick from financial ruin, we have to understand how we got here. 
   
   
   
  With wit and clarity, Your Money or Your Life asks us all to rethink the purpose of our modern healthcare system and consider whom it truly serves.

  Welcome to Hank’s Chicken Raising Book. This book is meant for those of you who are thinking about, or have just begun, an adventure in the wide world of chickens. First though, I have to ask, why chickens? They’re such fowl creatures---sorry, about that... 
   
  So, what is this book all about? This book will answer the basic questions about chicken raising and help you get started on the right foot. It will also help you as your chicken empire grows and keep you from being plucked apart by the competitive chicken raising business. I have tried to keep this book lighthearted and while also factual and helpful, after all once you start, I don’t want you to chicken out.  
   
  I’ve designed this book to help in your research and to get you started off on the right foot. First up, I’ll talk about some of the laws you’re going to have to know related to raising chickens where you live. Then I’ll dive deeper in the question of why do you want to raise chickens? What’s the real reason. Once you know exactly why you’re raising them and what you hope to accomplish, I’ll talk about how you can decide what is the best Chicken breed or type of chicken for you? Once you know which is the bird of choice, then it’s about how to house them, after all you have to have a place to keep them. Once they’re safe, I’ll talk about feeding them, and then keeping them healthy.

  In an era of increasingly connected devices and data-intensive applications, traditional cloud computing models face significant challenges. Enter edge computing, a revolutionary paradigm that brings computing resources closer to the data source, enabling faster processing, lower latency, and enhanced privacy and security. "Edge Computing: Technical Aspects of Edge Computing - Challenges and Considerations" explores this groundbreaking technology, shedding light on its technical aspects, while addressing the hurdles and considerations involved in its implementation. 
  This comprehensive book provides a deep dive into the world of edge computing, starting with a clear explanation of its core concepts and principles. Readers will gain a solid understanding of the architecture, infrastructure, and key components that make up an edge computing environment. From edge devices and gateways to edge analytics and distributed systems, every aspect of the edge computing ecosystem is explored in detail. 
  One of the key strengths of this book lies in its exploration of the challenges and considerations associated with edge computing. It delves into the complexities of deploying and managing edge computing systems, covering topics such as network connectivity, resource management, data synchronization, and security. The book also addresses the trade-offs involved in edge computing, examining the balance between latency reduction and resource consumption, and highlighting the importance of efficient workload distribution.

  The Nature of Desert Nature -...

  Gary Paul Nabhan

  In this refreshing collection, one of our best writers on desert places, Gary Paul Nabhan, challenges traditional notions of the desert. Beautiful, reflective, and at times humorous, Nabhan's extended essay also called "The Nature of Desert Nature" reveals the complexity of what a desert is and can be. He passionately writes about what it is like to visit a desert and what living in a desert looks like when viewed through a new frame, turning age-old notions of the desert on their heads. 
   
   
   
  Nabhan invites a prism of voices—friends, colleagues, and advisors from his more than four decades of study of deserts—to bring their own perspectives. Scientists, artists, desert contemplatives, poets, and writers bring the desert into view and investigate why these places compel us to walk through their sands and beneath their cacti and acacia. We observe the spines and spears, stings and songs of the desert anew. Unexpected. Surprising. Enchanting. Like the desert itself, each essay offers renewed vocabulary and thoughtful perceptions. 
   
   
   
  The desert inspires wonder. Attending to history, culture, science, and spirit, The Nature of Desert Nature celebrates the bounty and the significance of desert places.
