Android UI Development with Jetpack Compose - Bring declarative and native UI to life quickly and easily on Android using Jetpack Compose and Kotlin

Thomas Künneth

Sinopsis

Compose has caused a paradigm shift in Android development, introducing a variety of new concepts that are essential to an Android developer’s learning journey. It solves a lot of pain points associated with Android development and is touted to become the default way to building Android apps over the next few years. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect all changes and additions that were made by Google since the initial stable release, and all examples are based on Material 3 (also called Material You).
This book uses practical examples to help you understand the fundamental concepts of Jetpack Compose and how to use them when you are building your own Android applications. You’ll begin by getting an in-depth explanation of the declarative approach, along with its differences from and advantages over traditional user interface (UI) frameworks. Having laid this foundation, the next set of chapters take a practical approach to show you how to write your first composable function. The chapters will also help you master layouts, an important core component of every UI framework, and then move to more advanced topics such as animation, testing, and architectural best practices.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to write your own Android apps using Jetpack Compose and Material Design.

Minds I've Met - From Denying to...

Frans de Waal

New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal traces the dramatic changes in humanity’s perception of animals over the past half-century. 
How humans think about animals―and our place among them―has undergone a seismic change. Breaking old scientific taboos and never shying away from controversial topics, renowned primatologist Frans de Waal was at the forefront of this revolution, fighting against claims of human exceptionalism. From de Waal’s early studies in the Netherlands through his five-decade professional career in the United States, Minds I’ve Met follows this radical shift in how science perceives animals. De Waal’s pioneering work challenged the traditional view of animals as living machines and contributed to a new image of animals as intentional agents with minds of their own, capable of remarkable cognitive feats, demonstrating empathy and self-awareness, showing emotions and consciousness. His final published work, Minds I’ve Met celebrates animals’ awe-inspiring abilities and traces the complete turnaround in one of the fiercest scientific debates of our time, bringing humans ever closer to the rest of the animal world and animals closer to us.

Albert Einstein

"Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" is a seminal work by Albert Einstein, first published in 1916, designed to explain the groundbreaking theories that reshaped our understanding of the universe. In this accessible text, Einstein introduces readers to the Special Theory of Relativity, which addresses the relationship between space and time, and the General Theory of Relativity, which expands these concepts to include gravity as the curvature of space-time caused by mass and energy. Written for the layperson, Einstein employs clear language and thought experiments to elucidate complex ideas such as time dilation, length contraction, and the equivalence principle, making this book a cornerstone of modern physics and a must-read for anyone interested in the fundamental nature of reality.

DESCRIPTION
In the modern era, we are dependent on technology for almost every aspect of our lives. Computers are a major part of this technology-assisted life, as we have now developed ways to do most of the essential tasks on a computer. Computer science is no longer limited to theories and lectures, it has now become an important part of our lives.

The students will face a global competition once they step out of the school so they should be updated with the latest technologies which holds a promising future in the times to come. The best way to learn is, to do it through fun filled activities. To make content interesting through the course of the book, we have included key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Exercise, In The Lab (Subject Enrichment), Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project Work, Explore More, Keyboard Shortcuts and Glossary.

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

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

We hope that the book enables the children to learn the concepts with not only the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find its applications. We look forward to any suggestions for improving the book.

The Apothecary's Wife - The...

Karen Bloom Gevirtz

The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments—and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century. 
 
 
 
Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today's global for-profit medication system. A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary's Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine's values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.
