  Principles of Physics -...

  Physics is the branch of science that seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing the universe. It explores the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, and investigates the forces and interactions that shape the behavior of physical systems. Physics provides the foundation for understanding natural phenomena, from the motion of celestial bodies to the behavior of subatomic particles. It is both a theoretical and experimental science, combining mathematical models with empirical observations to describe and predict physical behavior. 
  The origins of physics can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers such as Aristotle and Democritus speculated about the nature of matter and motion. However, modern physics began to take shape during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries with the work of Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Isaac Newton. Galileo introduced the concept of systematic experimentation and mathematical analysis, while Kepler’s laws of planetary motion provided empirical support for the heliocentric model of the solar system. Newton’s formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation established a comprehensive framework for understanding the mechanics of bodies in motion. 
  Physics is traditionally divided into classical and modern physics. Classical physics encompasses theories developed before the 20th century, including Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, and classical electromagnetism. Newtonian mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects using concepts such as force, mass, and acceleration. Thermodynamics studies the relationships between heat, work, and energy, while classical electromagnetism, formulated by James Clerk Maxwell, explains the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged particles.

  Telling Lies - Clues to Deceit...

  From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught? 
   
   
   
  In this revised edition, Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, adds a new chapter to present his latest research on his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and the methods for uncovering lies. Ekman has figured out the most important behavioral clues to deceit; he has developed a one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand "micro expressions"; and he has done research that identifies the facial expressions that show whether someone is likely to become violent—a self-instructional program to train recognition of these dangerous signals has also been developed. 
   
   
   
  Telling Lies describes how lies vary in form and how they can differ from other types of misinformation that can reveal untruths. It discusses how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters—even judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents.

  Mind Control - An Owner's Manual...

  A.I. or - Thinking outside the box!  Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities.  I call him 'Homo Planetae' or Man of the Planet.  Homo Sapiens or the Wise Man is no longer viable since it is this species that has brought us to the edge of extinction and the total destruction of this planet's habitat - something no other creature in history has been so careless and greedy to do.  We did that.  An evolutionary branching off of an obsolete species and onto a new more advanced creature is now taking place right before our eyes, but 'None are so blind as those who will not see.' 
  Through your increased abilities of using your mind or 'Mind Control' as this author defines it - we still have a chance to redeem ourselves and save this planet.  But time is of the essence and is rapidly running out.  The ways in which we are mind controlled by our government and our corporations, our religions are profound yet so subtle we don't even think about it until it's too late.

  Dividing Lines - How...

  Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
   
   
   
  As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.

  Off-Earth - Ethical Questions...

  Can we do better in space than we've done here on Earth? 
   
   
   
  We've pinpointed the destination, refined the technology, designed the habitat. Are we forgetting something? A timely reminder that it's not just rocket science, this book explores the all-too-human issues raised by the prospect of settling in outer space. Accordingly, her work highlights the complex ethical challenges that accompany any other-worldly venture—questions about the environment, labor rights, and medical ethics, among others. 
   
   
   
  Any such venture, Nesvold contends, must be made on behalf of all humanity, with global input and collaboration. Off-Earth thus includes historical and contemporary examples from outside the dominant Western/US, abled, and privileged narrative of the space industry. Nesvold calls on experts in ethics, sociology, history, social justice, and law to launch a hopeful conversation about the potential ethical pitfalls of becoming a multi-planet species—and, ideally, to shed light on similar problems we presently face here on Earth. 
   
   
   
  Space settlement is rapidly becoming ever more likely. Will it look like the utopian vision of Star Trek? Or the dark future of Star Wars? Nesvold challenges us to decide.

  AI is transforming software development, shifting programmers from writing code to collaborating with AI in an intent-driven workflow. Vibe coding—a prompt-first, exploratory approach where you describe what you want in natural language and let a large language model fill in the blanks—represents a radical shift in the developer's role from writing code to directing it. However, vibe coding comes with a serious caveat: Like a high-speed exploratory vehicle, it can take you off the beaten path quickly. Beyond Vibe Coding: From Coder to AI-Era Developer explores how AI-powered coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex are reshaping the way we build software, from automating routine coding tasks to influencing architecture and design decisions. 
   
  Written by Addy Osmani, this guide provides developers, tech leads, and organizations with practical strategies to integrate AI into their workflows effectively. Learn how to formulate clear goals and constraints for the AI, review AI-generated code critically, and integrate those pieces into a coherent whole. Whether you're adopting AI tools today or preparing for the future of software engineering, this book offers insights and hands-on examples to keep your skills sharp in this evolving landscape.
