Beschreibung

Thomas Savery's 'The Miner's Friend; Or, An Engine to Raise Water by Fire' is a groundbreaking work in the history of technology and engineering. Published in 1702, this book details the invention and operation of the first practical steam engine, which had a major impact on mining operations by enabling the efficient removal of water from deep mines. Savery's writing style is clear and technical, reflecting his expertise as an engineer. The book is a significant contribution to the literature of the Industrial Revolution, showcasing the ingenuity of early inventors in adapting the power of steam for practical applications. Thomas Savery, a military engineer by profession, was inspired to develop the steam engine after witnessing the challenges faced by miners in dealing with mine flooding. His innovative solution revolutionized the mining industry and paved the way for further advancements in steam technology. Savery's expertise and dedication to solving real-world problems are evident in 'The Miner's Friend', making it a valuable historical document. I highly recommend 'The Miner's Friend; Or, An Engine to Raise Water by Fire' to readers interested in the history of technology, engineering, and the Industrial Revolution. It provides valuable insights into the early developments of steam power and its transformative impact on industrial processes.

    An understanding of psychology-specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces-is perhaps the single most valuable nondesign skill a designer can have. The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design rather than working within the "blueprint" of how humans perceive and process the world around them.
    
    This practical guide explains how you can apply key principles in psychology to build products and experiences that are more intuitive and human-centered. Author Jon Yablonski deconstructs familiar apps and experiences to provide clear examples of how UX designers can build experiences that adapt to how users perceive and process digital interfaces.
    
    You'll learn:
    
    How aesthetically pleasing design creates positive responses
    The principles from psychology most useful for designers
    How these psychology principles relate to UX heuristics
    Predictive models including Fitts's law, Jakob's law, and Hick's law
    Ethical implications of using psychology in design
    A framework for applying these principles

    Head Cases takes us into the dark side of the brain in an astonishing sequence of stories, at once true and strange, from the world of brain damage. Michael Paul Mason is one of an elite group of experts who coordinate care in the complicated aftermath of tragic injuries that can last a lifetime. On the road with Mason, we encounter survivors of brain injuries as they struggle to map and make sense of the new worlds they inhabit.Underlying each of these survivors' stories is an exploration of the brain and its mysteries. When injured, the brain must figure out how to heal itself, reorganizing its physiology in order to do the job. Mason gives us a series of vivid glimpses into brain science, the last frontier of medicine, and we come away in awe of the miracles of the brain's workings and astonished at the fragility of the brain and the sense of self, life, and order that resides there. Head Cases "[achieves] through sympathy and curiosity insight like that which pulses through genuine literature" (The New York Sun); it is at once illuminating and deeply affecting.

    Jeffrey D. Sachs has shown himself to be one of the world's most perceptive and original analysts of global development in his groundbreaking books, including The End of Poverty and Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet. Now, in this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice. Sachs outlines the holistic way forward: sustainable development. This provocative work offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve sustainable development goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on Sachs's fourteen years as Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and as Special Advisor to the United Nations Secretary-General on the Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and a clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.
