Sinopse

Total eclipses of the Sun are rare and dramatic—and on April 8, 2024, one will cross the US. But when exactly will it happen? In this short but richly illustrated book, prominent scientist and computation pioneer Stephen Wolfram tells the triumphant and hard-won story—spanning more than two thousand years—of how science, mathematics and computation have brought us to the point where we can now predict the time of the eclipse to within one second. Learn how the problem of eclipses brought us some of the earliest exact science, the first known computer, contributions from many of the all-time greats of mathematics and physics, and critical technology for the space program. See how all this provides a clear, modern understanding of a phenomenon that has surprised and amazed throughout human history.

    “I couldn’t stop reading it. It is well written with good imagery and appeals to those of us who have dealt with fear on any level…” ~ Bruce Weary, D.C., endurance rider 
    Sometimes raw, sometimes humorous, but always honest, this is a true account of a woman’s struggle to overcome a paralyzing fear, get back into the sport she loves, and the friendships she develops along the way. 
    After a lifetime of riding and owning horses and performing both in the show ring and on the trail, a difficult fall off her own horse on her own property leads Pam to realize age is catching up with her and she has become afraid to get back in the saddle. She embarks on a journey to find the perfect horse to help her get back into the tough sport of endurance riding, never knowing she would find help, both physically and emotionally, in a trainer and fellow rider who becomes a great friend. 
    This is a book for anyone who has fear or aging issues, anyone who loves riding horses, and anyone who needs a bit of hope.

    A much-needed program to prevent and reverse disease, and discover a path to sustainable, long-term health from an acclaimed international doctor and star of the BBC program Doctor in the House. 
    How to Make Disease Disappear is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee’s revolutionary, yet simple guide to better health—a much-needed, accessible plan that will help you take back control of your health and your life. 
    A physician dedicated to finding the root cause of ill health rather than simply suppressing symptoms with drugs, Dr. Chatterjee passionately advocates and follows a philosophy that lifestyle and nutrition are first-line medicine and the cornerstone of good health. Drawing on cutting edge research and his own experiences as a doctor, he argues that the secret to preventing disease and achieving wellness revolves around four critical pillars: food, relaxation, sleep, and movement. By making small, incremental changes in each of these key areas, you can create and maintain good health—and alleviate and prevent illness. As Dr. Chatterjee, reveals we can reverse and make disease disappear without a complete overhaul of our lifestyle. 
    His dynamic, user-friendly approach is not about excelling at any one pillar. What matters is balance in every area of your life, which includes:Me-time every dayAn electronic-free Sabbath once a weekRetraining your taste budsDaily micro-fastsMovement snackingA bedtime routine 
    Practical and life-changing, How to Make Disease Disappear is an inspiring and easy-to-follow guide to better health and happiness.

    Learn about Einstein's theory of relativity from a physics Nobel laureate and "one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century" (New York Review of Books) in six memorable lessons It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics. In Six Not-So-Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, Feynman delves into one of the most revolutionary discoveries in twentieth-century physics: Einstein's theory of relativity. The idea that the flow of time is not a constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike. But as Feynman shows, these tricky ideas are not merely dry principles of physics, but things of beauty and elegance.   No one — not even Einstein himself — explained these difficult, anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of all time.  “There is no better explanation for the scientifically literate layman.” –Washington Post Book World

    Energy-Efficient Computing: Designing Sustainable Systems for Performance, Power Optimization, and a Greener Digital Future delivers a comprehensive, forward-looking exploration of how modern computing systems can be engineered to balance performance demands with the urgent need for sustainability. As data centers grow, AI workloads scale, and edge devices proliferate, energy-efficient design is no longer optional—it is essential for the future of digital innovation. 
    This book provides a complete framework for understanding energy consumption across hardware, software, algorithms, and system design. From processor architectures and thermal management to power-aware scheduling, green cloud computing, and efficient AI model architectures, it equips readers with practical strategies to reduce power usage while maintaining—or even increasing—computational performance. 
    Blending theory with real-world case studies, the book highlights the principles, technologies, and engineering practices driving sustainable computing today. It examines cutting-edge trends such as low-power microarchitectures, renewable-energy-aligned data centers, intelligent workload distribution, and emerging paradigms like near-memory computing and carbon-aware AI.
