Polluted Air

Sinopsis

Polluted Air examines the pervasive issue of air pollution, asserting that it poses a significant threat to public health globally, stemming from industrial practices, transportation, and individual behaviors. Despite increased awareness, effective strategies for reducing exposure remain underdeveloped.

 
For instance, did you know that air pollution disproportionately affects low-income communities, raising critical social justice issues? Or that pollutants are categorized as primary (emitted directly) and secondary (formed through atmospheric reactions)?

 
The book explores the historical and scientific context of air pollution, tracing its evolution from localized incidents to a global crisis. It's structured into three sections, dissecting the causes (industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust), investigating health effects (respiratory, cardiovascular), and exploring mitigation strategies (emissions control technologies, policy interventions). The evidence is drawn from scientific literature and government reports. Each chapter concludes with actionable steps.

 
Written in an accessible style, Polluted Air is suitable for a broad audience, including students, policymakers, and concerned citizens. The book fairly addresses debates regarding the contribution of different sources and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. It empowers readers to become informed advocates for cleaner air and healthier communities.

Designing Distributed Systems -...

Brendan Burns

Every distributed system strives for reliability, performance, and quality, but building such a system is hard. Establishing a set of design patterns enables software developers and system architects to use a common language to describe their systems and learn from the patterns and practices developed by others. 
 
 
 
The popularity of containers and Kubernetes paves the way for core distributed system patterns and reusable containerized components. This practical guide presents a collection of repeatable, generic patterns to help guide the systems you build using common patterns and practices drawn from some of the highest performing distributed systems in use today. These common patterns make the systems you build far more approachable and efficient, even if you've never built a distributed system before. 
 
 
 
Author Brendan Burns demonstrates how you can adapt existing software design patterns for designing and building reliable distributed applications. Systems engineers and application developers will learn how these long-established patterns provide a common language and framework for dramatically increasing the quality of your system. This fully updated second edition includes new chapters on AI inference, AI training, and building robust systems for the real world.

Why Science Does Not Disprove God

Amir Aczel

The renowned science writer, mathematician, and bestselling author of Fermat's Last Theorem masterfully refutes the overreaching claims the "New Atheists," providing millions of educated believers with a clear, engaging explanation of what science really says, how there's still much space for the Divine in the universe, and why faith in both God and empirical science are not mutually exclusive. 
A highly publicized coterie of scientists and thinkers, including Richard Dawkins, the late Christopher Hitchens, and Lawrence Krauss, have vehemently contended that breakthroughs in modern science have disproven the existence of God, asserting that we must accept that the creation of the universe came out of nothing, that religion is evil, that evolution fully explains the dazzling complexity of life, and more. In this much-needed book, science journalist Amir Aczel profoundly disagrees and conclusively demonstrates that science has not, as yet, provided any definitive proof refuting the existence of God. 
Why Science Does Not Disprove God is his brilliant and incisive analyses of the theories and findings of such titans as Albert Einstein, Roger Penrose, Alan Guth, and Charles Darwin, all of whose major breakthroughs leave open the possibility— and even the strong likelihood—of a Creator. Bolstering his argument, Aczel lucidly discourses on arcane aspects of physics to reveal how quantum theory, the anthropic principle, the fine-tuned dance of protons and quarks, the existence of anti-matter and the theory of parallel universes, also fail to disprove God.
