  To date, more than a million insect species have been described, with probably at least another 5-8 million species waiting in the wings for a name. Insects are a fascinatingly diverse and beautiful spectrum of animals. They range in size from the tiny parasitic wasp, measuring a mere 139µm, to the aptly named Titan beetle, which can reach lengths of up to 17cm. They can be found on all continents of the world, from the Sahara Desert to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. While no insects live beneath the waves, the intrepid sea skaters skim the surface of some of the world's oceans. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction explores the extraordinary world of insects. It analyses insect evolution, taxonomy, and development, and describes their behavior, their life styles, and the interactions they have with other insects and other animals. As Simon Leather shows, insects are the bedrock on which human civilization rests; without them we would almost certainly not exist. Although they can be seen as pests of our crops plants, they are also invaluable for pollinating our flowering plants and are an invaluable link in all land ecosystems. As they face challenges from climate change and pesticides it has never been more important to understand these oft-dismissed creatures.

  Introducing a new type of book that will change your life: UX: User Experience Basics for Beginners. UX books are a category of design books that focus on the usability and user interface of products, mobile apps, and websites. They help listeners understand how their product looks and functions from their perspective as users. The UX book is for anyone who needs to create interfaces for companies or individuals in order to make them more usable, engaging, or beautiful. 
  The UX book is for aspiring and experienced designers, developers, product managers, and marketers who need to design products that people will use. Today's business world requires designers to evolve beyond the traditional interfaces of PDFs with multiple columns of text and images. And that means learning how to create apps and websites that meet today's sophisticated user needs. 
  The book covers the following aspects:What is user experience?Why is user experience important?How does user experience impact SEO?How to enhance site user experience designCommon UX problems with websitesWhat UX tools are there, and what can the data tell you?And much more 
  The principle of the book is to offer students a workable and applicable design pattern for developing an interaction from a user's behavior and design point of view. The designers and developers will be able to understand the constraints of the system and design a custom solution that can be easily implemented in any problem domain. The book is written with academic rigor, practicality in the relevance of today's user interface design, while remaining accessible to students. 
  We hope that you enjoy learning about UX and are able to apply this knowledge to your own or your clients' products. We also hope that this book will encourage you to learn more about UX design and how to make use of our learning resources.

  Odontology - Teeth and Their...

  Teeth have played a crucial role in the survival and adaptation of countless species throughout history. Their development and evolution provide insight into the dietary habits, environmental changes, and biological adaptations of various organisms, including humans. From primitive jawless fish to modern mammals, the transformation of teeth reflects an ongoing evolutionary process shaped by natural selection and functional necessity. 
  The earliest evidence of tooth-like structures dates back over 500 million years to the era of jawless fish. These ancient creatures possessed dermal denticles—small, tooth-like scales covering their bodies—that provided protection and may have eventually contributed to the formation of true teeth. As vertebrates evolved, the emergence of jaws revolutionized feeding strategies, allowing for more efficient food consumption and leading to the diversification of teeth in different species. 
  In early jawed fish, known as placoderms, teeth were not yet distinct from the jawbone but were integrated into it. Over time, evolutionary pressures favored the development of separate, more specialized teeth. This adaptation enabled vertebrates to exploit a wider range of food sources, leading to increased survival and reproduction. With the rise of sharks and bony fish, teeth became more complex, capable of being replaced throughout an organism’s life, a trait still seen in many species today.

  How the World Flows -...

  How the World Flows acts like a microscope that pulls the listener into the barely noticeable, Lilliputian world of fluids at small scales—the microfluidic world—and answers the question "What is microfluidics?" in non-technical language.Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Albert Folch explores this micro science which has inspired engineers to build devices such as engines, spray cans, ballpoint pens, inkjet and 3D printers, pregnancy and Covid tests, glucometers, asthma nebulizers, kidney dialysis machines, and DNA analyzers.This book also shows that many processes essential to life on Earth—such as the formation of raindrops, the rise of sap in plants, and the percolation of water through soil—are all microfluidic marvels. It examines how our cells breathe, feed, and fight diseases through small capillaries. Through engaging and digestible stories, Folch takes a lens to this tiny science and demonstrates how big a role microfluidics play in life as we know it.
