  From the spectra of hydrogen to the cosmic showers, and the Gamma ray bursts, several interesting concepts of Nuclear physics are discussed in the useful notes that are dedicated to all levels of readers. Basic information purview is done keeping in mind of the beginners, as well as the intermediates. Upper undergraduate basic essentials are demonstrated too. In the first chapter all the knowledge base has been served in order to give an idea about what systems theory is all about. This basic information makes the useful notes perfect for beginners. Second chapter talks about various applications of systems theory to serve you with practical knowledge. In last three chapters development and history of systems theory is described. This is a complete package for basic concepts of systems theory. You can refer high level useful notes s once you have acquired basic knowledge base. Systems theory is a bit complex subject to understand at once. The useful notes explain simply on how to include every small detail related general theory of systems. That is why we used precision while dividing the content into chapters. All interrelated information is compressed within a chapter so you will not require switching between chapters now and then. Information section of the useful notes s defines origin of the term. All important names and details described in the main content are included there.

  We can thrive in the changing climate.Production & yield, pest & disease pressure, food quality, and population are all aspects of food security being affected by climate disruption. According to current projections, the global population will be thirty percent higher in 2050. Because of this and anticipated dietary changes, growers will need to produce fifty percent more food annually by 2050, without expanding the land base. What can you do? Including interviews with some of the world’s top researchers in the field of agriculture, A Farmer’s Guide to Climate Disruption provides insight into how you can thrive in the changing climate by using produce growing methods that stem the tide of climate change while regenerating your land.

  Tough and Competent documents the leadership and teamwork principles which emerged from an organization of novice, part-time engineers in NASA Mercury Control. By July 1969, when faced with the stress of the Apollo 11 mission to land Americans on the moon, they had matured into a group of hardened individuals empowered to make the split-second decisions to land with only seventeen seconds of fuel remaining. What had changed? Team chemistry, IT!, is the unifying soul of operations that emerged from the leadership, working, and social environment to achieve organizational excellence. Mission Control could address quickly the risks and complexity of spaceflight operations. The intangible element, IT!, elevates performance to where the impossible becomes commonplace.IT! was born in a bare-bones warehouse floor work environment, where learning by doing developed the materials for flight. Controllers spanned diverse backgrounds: Philco tech reps, farm boys, Native Americans, and junior college grads who became self-made engineers. A free exchange of knowledge developed expertise among colleagues. Everyone brought unique viewpoints and skills which coalesced into IT! In relaying his long tenure at NASA, Kranz narrates the development of IT! His views on lessons learned through decades of Mission Control are valuable for any innovation-based organization.

  The Nobel Prize winner offers “an ideal introduction to the theories of special and general relativity” in clear, comprehensible language(Nature).  A renowned mathematician and philosopher, and as well as recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Bertrand Russell was acclaimed for his ability to address complex subjects in accessible ways. In this classic reference book, Russell delves into physics and relativity, helping everyday readers grasp the genius and implications of Albert Einstein’s theory. When originally published in 1925, The ABC of Relativity brought science to a more general audience—and it continues to do so in the twenty-first century.  “A mind of dazzling brilliance.” —The New York Times

  Astrotopia - The Dangerous...

  As environmental, political, and public health crises multiply on Earth, we are also at the dawn of a new space race in which governments team up with celebrity billionaires to exploit the cosmos for human gain. The best-known of these pioneers are selling different visions of the future: while Elon Musk and SpaceX seek to establish a human presence on Mars, Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin work toward moving millions of earthlings into rotating near-Earth habitats. Despite these distinctions, these two billionaires share a core utopian project: the salvation of humanity through the exploitation of space. In Astrotopia, philosopher of science and religion Mary-Jane Rubenstein pulls back the curtain on the not-so-new myths these space barons are peddling, like growth without limit, energy without guilt, and salvation in a brand-new world. As Rubenstein reveals, we have already seen the destructive effects of this frontier zealotry in the centuries-long history of European colonialism. But Rubenstein does more than expose the values of capitalist technoscience as the product of bad mythologies. She offers a vision of exploring space without reproducing the atrocities of earthly colonialism, encouraging us to find and even make stories that put cosmic caretaking over profiteering.
