Robins Gupta

Summary

Master GraphQL to build scalable, production-ready web applications.Key Features● Build a complete Netflix-style streaming platform using GraphQL, React, Node.js, and Apollo.● Master production-grade concepts including DataLoader, caching, scalability, and performance tuning.● Learn by doing, and progress from GraphQL fundamentals to advanced real-world full-stack development.Book DescriptionAPIs power modern web applications, but traditional REST often lacks flexibility and scalability. GraphQL changes that by offering a faster, more efficient way to fetch and manage data. Ultimate GraphQL for Scalable Web Apps takes you from core concepts to production-ready apps, helping you build real-world, high-performance web applications with confidence.Through the hands-on creation of Streamify, a Netflix-style streaming platform, you can master the complete GraphQL ecosystem using Node.js, Express, Apollo Server, MongoDB, React, and Apollo Client. From designing schemas and writing efficient queries to building authentication systems and recommendation engines, every concept is grounded in real-world development.This is not a theory-heavy manual. It is a practical, project-driven guide. Each chapter builds on real implementation, helping you craft an admin panel, design a compelling interface, implement rating systems, and develop intelligent recommendations. You will confront production challenges head-on, solving the N+1 query problem with DataLoader, implementing advanced caching for performance, and architecting scalable backends for real-world traffic.Thus, by the end, you will confidently design GraphQL schemas, optimize queries, and build scalable, production-grade web applications. You will understand not just how GraphQL works, but why it matters, equipping you well to architect modern, high-performance applications that meet today’s demanding scalability standards!What you will learn● Design and implement production-ready GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server.● Build full-stack applications using React, Node.js, and MongoDB stack.● Solve N+1 query problems using DataLoader for optimal performance.● Implement advanced caching strategies on frontend and backend layers.● Create scalable architectures that handle real-world traffic and growth.● Develop authentication systems, rating features, and recommendation engines efficiently.

Quantum Physics Made Simple -...

Maynard Marrow

Quantum physics sounds brilliant—until someone actually tries to explain it.
Suddenly you’re drowning in equations, paradoxes, or New Age promises. You’re told particles can be in two places at once… that time isn’t real… that light behaves like a wave and a particle… but no one seems to explain how or why in a way that actually makes sense.
So you nod, smile, and move on—still confused.
This audiobook fixes that.
You’ll understand what superposition really is. What tunneling actually means. How Einstein proved light could knock out electrons. Why your thoughts might influence physical matter. And how quantum theory is powering the next generation of computers and technologies.
Here’s what you’ll take away:Why Max Planck’s idea shattered physics—and created an entirely new oneWhat the birth of the universe has to do with particle uncertaintyHow particles tunnel through walls (yes, seriously)Why black body radiation melted 19th-century science—and changed everythingWhat light really is, and why it behaves so weirdlyHow Einstein explained the photoelectric effect—and kicked off the tech ageWhy quantum physics and the Law of Attraction might have more in common than you thinkHow time works in quantum theory (hint: not how you expect)Why one particle can be in two places at once—and what that means for your computerWhat quantum computing is, and how it’s already rewriting the rules
If you’ve ever wished someone would finally explain quantum physics like a real person would, here it is.Start listening and see just how simple this “impossible” science can be.

Quack Quack - The Threat of...

Dr. Joe Schwarcz

Let the one and only Dr. Joe battle pseudoscience and cast a life preserver out to all those drowning in a sea of misinformation 
 
 
 
We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery—loosely defined as the spread of false "knowledge," often accompanied by various versions of "snake oil"—is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. 
 
 
 
In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.

The Andes and The Amazon

James Orton

This book, with the subtitle "Across the Continent of South America" describes the scientific expedion of 1867 to the equatorial Andes and the Amazon. The route was from Guayaquil to Quito, over the Cordillera, through the forest to Napo, and, finally, on the Rio Napo to Pebas on the Maranon.  Besides this record, the expedition - under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institute - collected samples of rocks and plants, and numerous specimen of animals. The scientists also compiled a vocabulary of local languages and produced a new map of equatorial America. James Orton (1830 - 1877) was Professor in Natural History in Vassar College, and corresponding member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. (Summary by Availle, from the Preface)
