Sinopsis

In 'Micrographia', Robert Hooke embarks on a groundbreaking exploration of the microscopic world, unveiling the previously invisible intricacies of nature through meticulous observation and detailed illustrations. This seminal work, published in 1665, represents a significant shift in scientific inquiry, paralleling the rise of the scientific revolution. Hooke's prose weaves together eloquent description with empirical observation, providing a vivid account of his experiments that range from the structure of a flea to the intricate patterns of a cork's cellular structure. His innovative use of the microscope not only revolutionizes biology but also sets a precedent for the visual representation of scientific findings. Robert Hooke, an esteemed polymath and member of the Royal Society, was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, particularly the emphasis on observation as a means of knowledge. His background in physics, architecture, and natural history equipped him with a unique perspective that allowed him to interpret his observations in innovative ways. Hooke's collaborative nature and friendship with contemporaries like Sir Isaac Newton positioned him at the forefront of scientific discourse, driving his desire to share the wonders he unearthed through his lens. '*****Micrographia'***** is indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the origins of modern microscopy and its implications on life sciences. This work not only provokes a sense of wonder about the natural world but also encourages a deeper appreciation for the intricate details that define our universe. Reading Hooke's text will enrich your understanding of both historical scientific methods and the profound nature of inquiry.

    Starting a software development project is easy … but finishing it? Successfully? is a different story. Software CAN be developed that meets real needs and its development can be both efficient and effective. But. You have to know what you are up against. You need to know what questions to ask and how to understand the answers. 
    A non-technical manager, business owner, or SaaS founder who is responsible for the creation of a software system has a problem. A big problem. Crafting a software system is a complex process fraught with unexpected difficulties, impenetrable jargon, and hidden risks. Overwhelming. 
    Adrift in a "fog of ignorance." You don't even know what you don't know ... 
    The depth of those gaps in your knowledge may be substantial, but they can be filled selectively by reading/learning or by hiring the expertise. But in that "fog of ignorance" there is not even enough information to guide the learning or hiring. 
    This book burns off that fog to at least get you the clarity on what your "gaps in knowledge" are. 
    This book is intended for non tech SaaS founders, managers, and owner/operators who do not have a technical background but who are in a position that includes leading one or more technical projects. A great gift for your PHB. 
    Dr Will has a BS, MS, and PhD all in Computer Science as well as 40+ years managing software projects in the US Air Force, Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Collective Technologies, Club Corp, STX Cadware, and his own business Paladin Logic, Ltd. Dr Will was a pioneer in online instruction for the US Air Force, and has taught courses in Computer Science and Software Engineering at The Air Force Institute of Technology, Navel Postgraduate School, Southern Methodist University, Central Michigan University, and the University of Dallas.

    Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on the latest scientific research on the biology and ethology of sharks and their exceptional characteristics, this book aims to break through the barrier of prejudice and to pay homage to their true nature. Representing a last vestige of wildness, their populations are nevertheless under threat—like so many species, they have been hunted and exploited by humans. Sarano argues for a change of mindset in which we lose ourselves in the world of the other, so that each living entity, human and non-human, can take their rightful place in the broader global ecosystem.
