Sinossi

Originally created as a U.S. Army Technical Manual, this book provides detailed explanation of manufacturing munitions from seemingly innocuous locally available materials. Primarily intended to increase the potential of Special Forces and guerrilla troops, "Improvised Munitions Handbook" represents perfect reading for all arms enthusiasts, as well as civilians considering their safety. This edition offers simple instructions, enriched with a large number of illustrations, on various techniques for constructing many different weapons and devices made of materials that can be bought in a drug or hardware store or found in a junkyard. The instructions are presented in a way that even people normally not familiar with making and handling munitions can use them. Table of Contents: Explosives and Propellants  Plastic Explosive Filler Improvised Black Powder  Carbone Tet- Explosive Methyl Nitrate Dynamite  Urea Nitrate Explosive Sodium Chlorate and Sugar or Aluminum Explosive…   Mines and Grenades Nail Grenade Wine Bottle Cone Charge  Coke Bottle Shaped Charge… Small Arms Weapons and Ammunitions  Pipe Pistol for 9 mm Ammunition  Shotgun (12 gauge) Carbine (7.62 mm Standard Rifle Ammunition) Rifle Cartridge…  Mortars and Rockets  Shotgun Grenade Launcher Fire Bottle Launcher 60 mm Mortar Projectile Launcher… Incendiary Devices Chemical Fire Bottle Gelled Flame Fuels Improvised White Flare Improvised White Smoke Munitions… Fuses, Detonators & Delay Mechanisms  Electric Bulb Initiator  Fuse Igniter from Book Matches  Delay Igniter from Cigarette  Watch Delay Timer Can-Liquid Time Delay Detonator… Miscellaneous  Mousetrap Switch  Knife Switch  Rope Grenade Launching Technique  Bicycle Generator Power Source  Improvised Battery Armor Materials…    Primary High Explosives  Secondary High Explosives

    Mathematical physics provides the essential framework for formulating and solving physical problems using mathematical methods. The foundations of mathematical physics are rooted in the application of mathematical structures, such as differential equations, linear algebra, and group theory, to describe the fundamental laws of nature. Physics relies heavily on mathematical formalism to express physical quantities, relationships, and conservation laws. The development of mathematical physics has enabled the discovery and prediction of new physical phenomena, from classical mechanics to quantum field theory. 
    The language of mathematical physics is built on the concept of physical observables represented by mathematical objects such as scalars, vectors, tensors, and operators. Scalars represent single-valued quantities, vectors represent quantities with both magnitude and direction, and tensors generalize vectors to higher dimensions. Operators, such as differential operators and linear operators, act on these mathematical objects to produce measurable physical outcomes. 
    Differential equations are central to mathematical physics, as they describe how physical quantities change with respect to one another. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) govern the behavior of systems that depend on a single variable, such as the motion of a particle under a central force. Partial differential equations (PDEs) describe systems that depend on multiple variables, such as wave propagation and heat conduction. Solutions to differential equations provide the time evolution and spatial distribution of physical systems.

    A playful and provocative exploration of queer single parenting and love, in conversation with an AI algorithm and a toddler 
     
     
     
    My Child, the Algorithm describes encounters between a single parent, a curious, verbal toddler, and a language-producing algorithm. Like a male seahorse, Hannah Silva carried a baby made from her partner's egg. But when she gave birth, her partner left, and Hannah found herself navigating life alone with her child, surviving on United Kingdom universal credit, humor, and buckets of imagination. 
     
     
     
    As she navigates friendship, dating, and life as a queer parent in London, Hannah begins cowriting with an open-source language model, a precursor to ChatGPT, feeding the algorithm language and receiving language in return. Through her interactions with her toddler and the algorithm, expressions of humor, play, and insight begin to emerge. With the help and disruption of these unreliable narrators, Hannah deconstructs her story and constructs a new one, unraveling what she has been taught to want, finding alternative ways of thinking, loving, and parenting today.

    Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
     
    For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
     
    From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

    More than one hundred species of kingfishers brighten every continent but Antarctica. Not all are fishing birds. They range in size from the African dwarf kingfisher to the laughing kookaburra of Australia. This first book to feature North America's belted kingfisher is a lyrical story of observation, revelation, and curiosity in the presence of flowing waters. 
     
     
     
    The kingfisher—also known as the halcyon bird—is linked to the mythic origin of halcyon days, a state of happiness that Marina Richie hopes to find outside her back door in Missoula, Montana. Epiphanies and a citizen science discovery punctuate days tracking a bird that outwits at every turn. The female is more colorful than the male (unusual and puzzling) and the birds' earthen nest holes are difficult to locate. 
     
     
     
    While the heart of the drama takes place on Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula, the author's adventures in search of kingfisher kin on the lower Rio Grande, in South Africa, and in London illuminate her relationships with the birds of Montana. In the quiet of winter, she explores tribal stories of the kingfisher as messenger and helper, pivotal qualities for her quest. For all who love birds or simply seek solace in nature, Halcyon Journey is an inviting introduction to the mythic and mysterious belted kingfisher.
