  “Schott’s animated account moves at a fast clip, is full of colorful anecdotes, and will delight animal lovers of all stripes.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
  		 
  Sharing the stories of 22 different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, Dr. Schott examines the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed to treat all manner of creatures. From healing dogs and horses to gorillas and even dragons, at the heart lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear.
  		 
  James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth century Manhattan
  		Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.

  Bakunin's most famous work, published in various lengths, this version is the most complete form of the work published hitherto. 
  Originally titled "Dieu et l'état", Bakunin intended it to be part of the second portion to a larger work named "The Knouto-Germanic Empire and the Social Revolution" (Knouto-Germanic Empire is in reference to a treaty betwixt Russia and Germany at the time), but the work was never completed.

  Theory of Computation

  Theory of computation is seen as a branch of both theoretical computer science and modern mathematics (however, it also contains some concepts from pure mathematics). Theory of computation shows how one can effectively solve a problem using a computational model. A number of computational models are described in theory of computation. Algorithm is most common format of computational model. Algorithm is a logical, systematic presentation of the process of problem solution. It theoretically represents the procedure of solving a particular problem. Flowchart is another form of such model of computation. Simply, flowchart is a graphical representation of any algorithm, using various symbols. Each symbol of flowchart represents a particular action. Algorithms and flowcharts possess a strong relation among each other. Yet, theory of computation talks more deeply and descriptively about algorithms and less about flowcharts. 
  Theories, which are too broad, are often divided into sub theories or branches. Such division allows one to approach and learn the theory efficiently. Theory of computation is divided into four main branches. Many people see these branches as individual sub theories (sub theories and branches are both different terms). These main branches/ sub theories are as following:Automata TheoryFormal Language TheoryComputability TheoryComputational Complexity Theory 
  Here, it should be noticed that many theories treat Automata Theory and Formal Language Theory as individual concepts. It is same for vice versa situation. Many treat them as a whole. In this book, they are described as individual concepts. However, you will find many connections between their concepts. The whole structure of computation theory is dedicated to describe the capabilities and limitations of modern computer system; in terms of solving a particular problem, (This process includes various steps and operations). 
  Model of computations are mathematical abstractions of computers and their functionality. These models are used to descriptive studies and researches related to computers and various functions provided by them (capabilities, limitations, etc). These computational models are divided in various types according to the characteristics and results they provide. Turning machine is one of these many models of computations. This model is being referred here since it is arguably the most reasonable and powerful model compared to other computational models. This model has a simple and straightforward structure that is easy to interpret and understand which makes the formulation and analyzing process much easier. Other models consider that infinite memory capacity is essential in order to provide results related to decidable problems. However, turning machine requires only a finite amount of memory in order to solve and provide results for a decidable problem. It means that if a turning model is capable of solving a problem; the very same problem can be solved using any other computer that has a finite amount of available memory. 
  However, some researchers denied the turning model being the most reliable model. They do not deny its functions or capabilities, but they do point out some limitations ignoring the fact that they are yet to be proven practically.

  Saving the Starry Night - Light...

  This book takes a close look at our relationship with the sky, the stars, light, and darkness. In particular, it examines how light pollution has interfered with the culture of astronomy and our ability to appreciate this essential facet of our natural world.The sky has always held significance for humanity, in both cultural and scientific terms. And yet we persistently pollute it with sometimes unnecessary light in our obsessive desire to chase away the darkness. This effectively switches off the stars, hampering our ability to enjoy one of the most inspiring sights nature has to offer to humankind. In addition, too much light is hazardous to both our health and that of the fauna and flora of this planet. 
  Saving the Starry Night also features a comprehensive look at the current controversy regarding efforts to expand internet access through the launch into low Earth orbits of thousands of new satellites, which will pollute the night with moving lights while filling to saturation the capability of the circumterrestrial space. This conflict does not mean that the interests of astronomy and those of space technology have to be at odds, and potential compromises are explored between the satellite initiative and the desire to maintain a dark, radio silent sky.

  Astrophysics

  This book describes how physics and chemistry are used in process of determining nature of various astronomical objects. Celestial mechanics describes how physics is applied in order to determine the positions and motions of astronomical objects. Described studies related to large scale structures of the universe are described in physical cosmology. However, they are not a part of astrophysics. In astrophysics it is described how chemistry and physics are applied to figure out the nature of certain astronomical objects. Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy (Astronomy + Physics = Astrophysics). Various principles from physics and chemistry are described in astrophysics. These principles are useful in ascertaining the nature of heavenly bodies, instead of their positions or motion behavior. Following objects are studied under this particular field:SunStarsGalaxiesExtrasolar planetsInterstellar mediumCosmic microwaveBackground 
  Many things related to this field and their area of studies would be described in this book. It is going to be short and sweet even multiple books are not enough to cover whole concept of astrophysics at once. Book will start by describing the history of astrophysics. In the history, all important names, foundation of basic concepts would be covered. It will really be helpful for fresher since all basic concepts would be described and explained well. Astrophysics are usually learned or studied in two categories or sectors. First one is observational astrophysics and second one is theoretical astrophysics. Both of them are equally important since theoretical knowledge is important when one tries to apply these concepts practically. In the same way, there is not meaning of learning theories that has no use in practical implementation. In this book, both sectors are described in individual chapters. In those chapters, each important concept of these two sectors will be covered. Popularization is another important concept of astrophysics. It is also covered in a separate chapter. Overall, this book is a complete package for understanding basic concepts of astrophysics. Despite of this basic tag, these concepts are not that easy to understand since astrophysics is a hybrid concept of astronomy and physics.
