Sinossi

In "Through Space to Mars; Or, the Longest Journey on Record," Roy Rockwood embarks on an ambitious interplanetary adventure that melds scientific imagination with the burgeoning genre of early science fiction. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century explorations of the cosmos, Rockwood employs a vibrant prose style, rich in detail and vivid descriptions, bringing to life the mechanics of space travel and the challenges faced by the protagonists. The narrative intricately weaves elements of adventure, technology, and the human spirit'Äôs quest for discovery, while positioning itself within the context of an era fascinated by the possibilities of the universe beyond Earth. Roy Rockwood, an American author known for his prolific contributions to science fiction and pulp literature, was deeply influenced by the technological advancements of his time and the burgeoning field of astronomy. His experience as an author of juvenile fiction allowed him to craft engaging narratives that captured the imaginations of young readers, ultimately encouraging them to dream about the stars. Rockwood's passion for science and exploration is palpable in this book, as he deftly explores themes of perseverance and innovation. I highly recommend "Through Space to Mars" to readers who are passionate about science fiction and the potential of human exploration. This novel not only provides an enthralling tale of adventure but also offers insights into the early perceptions of space travel, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and science.

    Sharks are some of the most fascinating and ecologically important, yet most threatened and misunderstood animals on Earth. More often feared than revered, their role as predators of the deep has earned them a reputation as a major threat to humans. But the truth is that sharks are not a danger to us—they’re in danger from us. 
     
    In Why Sharks Matter, marine conservation biologist Dr. David Shiffman urges us to overcome our misconceptions and embrace sharks as the imperiled and elegant ocean guardians they really are. Touching on everything from Shark Week to shark fin soup, overfishing to marine sanctuaries, Shiffman reveals why sharks are in trouble, why we should care, and how we can save them. 
     
    A witty narrative highlighting the author’s fascinating experiences working with sharks, this exploration of the essential principles of shark conservation science and policy is full of amazing facts about both little-known and iconic shark species. It spells out how healthy shark populations support marine ecosystems—and the coastal economies that depend on them—while carefully explaining what scientists, conservationists, and readers can do to help. With his signature pragmatism and irreverence, Shiffman doesn’t shy away from explaining why much of what you’ve heard about sharks and how to save them is wrong. 
     
    Perfect for shark enthusiasts, Why Sharks Matter provides an approachable, informative guide to the world of shark conservation, and an insider’s introduction to the passionate, brilliant people who work to protect our oceans. This fun read will have you looking at sharks with a fresh perspective and an understanding that their survival is crucial to the survival of another apex predator—ourselves.

    Biochemical engineering integrates the principles of biology, chemistry, and engineering to develop processes for the large-scale production of valuable biochemicals. This interdisciplinary field plays a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, and environmental engineering. 
      
    One of the fundamental aspects of biochemical engineering is fermentation, which involves the controlled growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi to produce desired compounds. These microorganisms can be genetically engineered or selected for their ability to synthesize specific products, such as antibiotics, vitamins, or biofuels. 
      
    Biocatalysis is another key area within biochemical engineering, focusing on the use of enzymes or whole cells to catalyze chemical reactions. By harnessing the specificity and efficiency of biological catalysts, biocatalysis offers environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for chemical synthesis and manufacturing processes. 
      
    Bioseparation techniques are essential for isolating and purifying target biomolecules from complex mixtures produced during fermentation or biocatalytic reactions. These techniques include filtration, chromatography, centrifugation, and membrane processes, which enable the recovery of high-purity products for further downstream processing.

    We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
     
     
     
    A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.
