Where Are The Little Green Men? - The Adair Hypothesis

Terry Adair

Maison d'édition: Spines

Synopsis

In a universe teeming with trillions of planets, why is there no evidence of other technological civilizations? Enrico Fermi’s famous paradox has puzzled scientists for decades. In Where Are the Little Green Men?, Terry Adair offers a bold, rigorous answer: The Adair Hypothesis.Life may be common—but civilization is not. Advanced technology demands more than intelligence; it requires a rare surplus of dense, stored energy, built through improbable cosmic, geological, and biological coincidences. From the violent birth of planets to the miracle of photosynthesis, ancient carbon burial, and humanity’s energy leaps—coal, oil, gas, fission, and the promise of fusion—Adair traces the fragile chain that allowed us to escape biology and ignite industry.The Great Silence isn’t a graveyard of fallen empires. It’s a startling reminder of how rare we may be—and the responsibility that comes with it. A fast-moving, interdisciplinary exploration of cosmology, astrobiology, and energy physics, this book reframes our cosmic solitude not as loneliness, but as extraordinary privilege.

War in the Smartphone Age -...

Matthew Ford

Thanks to smartphones, war is everywhere, all the time. Anyone can view, analyze, and comment on photos, videos, or other warzone media. Where did this technology come from? And what does it mean for the future of war?This book explains why you see what you do on your phone, and how these devices shape our knowledge, conduct, and representation of war in the 2020s. It shows why smartphones are indispensable in peace and wartime: every device is a potential weapon, lines blur between war and daily life, and conflict becomes a shared digital experience. Social media platforms displace state-controlled narratives, amplifying violence and shaping war's legitimacy. Apps democratize conflict, enabling anyone to identify and attack perceived enemies. As the Ukraine war has shown, this new reality involves complex, unevenly distributed infrastructures, merging civilian communication with military targeting.With war accelerating beyond our comprehension, militaries have raced to benefit from and adapt to the smartphone age. Matthew Ford explores critical questions about today's hyper-connected battlefield.

DESCRIPTION
Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications.
Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students.

The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book.

Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary.

These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom.

Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition.

We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.
