Sinopsis

Earthquake Rescues explores the critical intersection of Earth Sciences, Geography, and Technology in modern search-and-rescue (SAR) operations following devastating earthquakes. It showcases how SAR teams leverage advanced tools to locate and extract survivors from the rubble.

 
One key aspect highlighted is the use of thermal imaging technology, often deployed via drones, to detect human presence under debris. Another is the indispensable role of canine search units, whose acute sense of smell can pinpoint survivors in collapsed structures.

 
This book uniquely emphasizes the synergy between geographic understanding, technological innovation, and the expertise of rescue personnel. It details how these elements combine to maximize the chances of saving lives after a quake.

 
Beginning with the science of earthquakes and their geographical impact, the book progresses through evolving SAR strategies, including the deployment of canine units and aerial drones. It culminates with case studies and a discussion of ethical considerations, offering a comprehensive view of earthquake rescue operations.

    HOW THIS PRODUCT CAN WORK FOR YOU
     
    For a restful night's sleep, there are several phases you go through. With each phase our sleep gets deeper, our body becomes more relaxed, and our brain wave patterns slow down. We experience our deepest sleep phase when our brain enters the delta wave state. Delta sleep is the phase in which the body regenerates and rebalances itself for the new day.
     
    
     
    Getting enough sleep is therefore essential for a healthy, productive life. This program has been proven to increase delta wave activity in your brain. The program has already helped many people to find regular, restful, and revitalizing sleep. ULTIMATE SLEEP SOUNDS is a pioneer in the field of audio-acoustic research. Numerous companies, health professionals, meditation groups, and individuals swear by their audio programs and their spectacular soundscapes that stimulate our brain waves and put them into a state of deep relaxation.

    An introduction to the basics of blockchain technology. 
    Are you confused by the blockchain? 
    Do you know what it is and how it works? 
    Do you want to know how it can change the world? 
    Then, you’ve chosen the right book. 
    Blockchain technology is not new. In fact, it was introduced in 2009 with the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, but since then, things have moved on at a significant pace. These days, many industries are developing their own blockchain-based solutions, looking to replace their existing database and record-keeping systems with one that works faster and is far more secure. 
    In this book, you will learn:What blockchain isHow blockchain works – a brief overview and a more technical lookThe history of blockchain technology and BitcoinThe advantages and disadvantages of blockchain technologyHow blockchain works with the financial industryHow it works with other industriesHow decentralized apps and smart contracts workWhat the proof-of-work concept is and how it worksThe current and future use cases for the blockchainWhat Ripple and the R3 consortium areAnd much more 
    The blockchain has already changed the world in so many ways, and most of us aren’t even aware that the systems we’ve used every day have changed. Not every blockchain is decentralized; some still have a centralized intermediary. Not every blockchain is open-source. Banks, governments, and financial institutions are all maintaining control but in a more open, secure way that is far less open to fraud than previous financial transaction systems.

    “The most original and probably the most important writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley."—Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Prometheus Rising and other worksPeter Carroll’s classic work has been profound influence on the Western magical world and on the practice of chaos magick in particular. In Liber Null and Psychonaut, Carroll presents an approach to the practice of magic that draws on the foundations of shamanism and animism, as well as that found in the Greek magical papyri, the occult works of Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley, and the esoteric meditative practices of classical India and China. Also very much at work in the text are 20th century scientific ideas of quantum physics and chaos theory.The result is a profoundly original work of magical studies that also includes a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists with instructions that lead the reader through new concepts and practices to achieve Carroll’s definition of magic itself: the raising of the whole individual in perfect balance to the power of infinity.This Weiser Classics edition is a thoroughly revised republication of Liber Null and Psychonaut, first published by Weiser in 1987, and includes a new foreword by Ronald Hutton, a leading authority on modern witchcraft and paganism.

    Viruses are microscopic entities that exist at the boundary between living and non-living matter. Despite their minuscule size, viruses have a profound impact on all forms of life, from bacteria and plants to humans and animals. They are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, outnumbering bacteria by a factor of ten. Viruses have played a key role in shaping ecosystems, driving evolution, and causing significant diseases in both humans and other organisms. 
    A virus is fundamentally a small particle, or "virion," composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat known as a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid membrane called an envelope. Unlike bacteria or other microorganisms, viruses lack the machinery necessary for self-replication and metabolism. Instead, they must infect a host cell to reproduce. The virus hijacks the host's cellular machinery to replicate its genome and assemble new viral particles, which are then released to infect other cells. 
    The structure of viruses is incredibly diverse. There are simple, rod-shaped viruses, more complex spherical ones, and even geometrically intricate varieties like the icosahedral viruses. The genetic material within the virus—whether it is single-stranded or double-stranded, RNA or DNA—dictates the virus's replication strategy and determines how it interacts with the host organism. While some viruses infect only specific species or cell types, others are capable of infecting multiple hosts, sometimes crossing species barriers in the process.

    An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
    		 
    Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
    		 
    In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
    		 
    Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.
