Summary

★★★   Switching from Windows to Mac? Let's make this as easy as possible!   ★★★ 
  
Big Sur adds some powerful new features to macOS, which is fantastic news...if you know how to use them. 
  
If you're like many adults, however, then your first computer was probably a Windows computer—or maybe it only had a command interface. For most of us, macOS is something a little new. 
  
MacOS isn't complicated but switching from another operating system can be a little confusing at first. This guide is intended to help you make the switch. 
In addition to showing you how exactly it works, it walks you through how you can still do all those Windows things you have grown to love. 
  
This book is intended for people who want to get started quickly with the OS. For that reason, it's not as comprehensive as other guides. It covers the most popular features, but not how to do configurations you probably have never heard of and will never want to do. 
  
I purposely have done my best to make this handbook a little more casual and fun than what you expect from most macOS manuals. MacOS is a fun operating system, and any guide you read should be an equally fun read. 
  
Some of the covered features include:What's new to macOS Big Sur How you do all those Windows "things" on a Mac Apple Services (Apple Music, Apple News, iCloud, Apple Card, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+)Using Siri How to find things / how to organize things to make them easy to find Setting up Internet and Email Using Sidecar Using Control CenterParental Controls Downloading / Updating appsOrganizing photos Using SafariProtecting your privacyManaging your passwordsUsing MapsMaking phone callsSending, replying, and pinning messages Multitasking And much, much more!  
Are you ready to start enjoying the new macOS? Then let's get started! 
  
Note: This book is based off of MacOS Big Sur: Getting Started with MacOS 11 for MacBooks and iMacs but has expanded discussion of accessibility features. It is not endorsed by Apple, Inc. and should be considered unofficial.
Available since: 12/05/2020.

    Land and Wine - The French Terroir

    This in-depth tour of the French winemaking regions illustrates how the soil, underlying bedrock, and microclimate shape the personality of a wine. 
     
    France has long been the world’s greatest wine-producing country. Its various regions each offer unique tasting experiences, from the spice of Bordeaux to the berry notes of the Loire Valley. In Land and Wine, geologist Charles Frankel guides readers through these and ten other regions, including Alsace, Burgundy, Champagne, Provence, and the Rhône valley, to explore the full meaning of terroir. 
     
    Frankel describes how Cabernet Franc takes on a completely different character depending on whether it is grown on gravel or limestone; how Sauvignon yields three different products in the hills of Sancerre; how Pinot Noir will give radically different wines on a single hill in Burgundy as the vines progress upslope; and how the soil of each château in Bordeaux has a say in the blend ratios of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon. 
     
    Land and Wine provides a detailed understanding of the variety of French wine as well as a look at the geological history of France, complete with volcanic eruptions, dinosaurs, and a menagerie of fossils flavoring the vineyards. Frankel also blends in anecdotes about winemakers and historic wine enthusiasts while offering travel tips and itineraries for visiting the wineries today.

    Dinosaurs are fascinating creatures and their popularity seems never ending, fueled by films such as Jurassic Park and documentaries such as Walking with Dinosaurs. Yet dinosaurs (or more precisely non-avian dinosaurs) last trod the Earth 65 million years ago. All we know of them today are their fossilized bones, the tracks and traces that they left behind and, in very rare instances, some of the soft tissues or even traces of their chemistry. In many respects dinosaurs present us with one of the ultimate forensic challenges: they comprise the fragmentary remains of creatures that died many tens of millions of years ago, rather than just recently, or a few tens of years ago, which is the problem usually faced by forensic pathologists. How much do we really know about them, and to what extent can their remains inform us about ancient worlds, and indeed about the history of our planet? 
    In this Very Short Introduction David Norman discusses how dinosaurs were first discovered and interpreted, and how our understanding of them has changed over the past 200 years. He looks at some of the amazing discoveries that have enabled us to gain new and unexpected insights into dinosaurs as animals with natural histories and behaviors, and considers some of the biggest questions in dinosaur biology, such as the implications of them having warm blood. Norman also shows how research upon dinosaurs has been enriched, particularly in recent decades, by technological breakthroughs, which complement the informed speculation and luck which have played a part in many of the major discoveries.

    "The Martians opens a door into a possibility that most would reject as impossible. But Nick Redfern in this provocative and exciting book makes a startling case for there being life on Mars—and, in fact, for the whole history of Mars being very, very different from what we have supposed. A wonderful adventure and a very exciting story!"—Whitley Strieber, #1 New York Times bestselling author, CommunionThe Martians is an in-depth study of the theory that Mars was once a world that teemed with life. Perhaps, even, life not too dissimilar to ours. Incredibly, the Martians may still be there. Alive. The questions that this book asks and answers include the following:  •What kind of society did the Martians have?•What caused their world to become harsh and desertlike? •Did global warming or nuclear war ensure the extinction of the Martians?•Are Martian artifacts strewn about the surface, just waiting to be found by the likes of NASA?•Has NASA already found such evidence, but chosen to withhold such monumental finds from the public and the media?•Could some form of the Martians still exist, deeply below the surface of the planet, in secure installations that allow them to ensure their civilization continues?•What do we know about the Martian environment, its atmosphere, and its landscape?The Martians explores the CIA's top-secret search for the Martians, multiple photos of strange anomalies, and the latest revelations about the environment and water on Mars. And most tantalizing of all: Did an ailing Martian race come to Earth in past eons and were they confused with gods? The questions concerning life on Mars—then and now—are many. The answers are astounding.

    After clinical history-taking and examination, radiography is the "third way" of diagnosis, and dentists face the daily task of interpreting radiographic images to help in patient management. This book aims to give a comprehensive guide to reading x-ray images in dental practice and concentrates on intraoral radiographs. The text builds on a strong foundation of anatomical knowledge and is reinforced by the authors' experience of the radiological appearances that frequently challenge dentists.

    A short and entertaining introduction to thermodynamics that uses real-world examples to explain accessibly an important but subtle scientific theory.   
     
    A romantic description of the second law of thermodynamics is that the universe becomes increasingly disordered. But what does that actually mean? Starting with an overview of the three laws of thermodynamics, MacArthur "genius grant" winner R. Stephen Berry explains in this short audiobook the fundamentals of a fundamental science. Listeners learn both the history of thermodynamics, which began with attempts to solve everyday engineering problems, and ongoing controversy and unsolved puzzles. The exposition, suitable for both students and armchair physicists, requires no previous knowledge of the subject and only the simplest mathematics, taught as needed.   
     
    With this better understanding of one science, listeners also gain an appreciation of the role of research in science, the provisional nature of scientific theory, and the ways scientific exploration can uncover fundamental truths. Thus, from a science of everyday experience, we learn about the nature of the universe.
