  In the vast expanse of the universe, where the night sky reveals countless stars, planets, and galaxies, the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. Among the many tools at the disposal of astronomers and astrophysicists, photometry stands as a beacon of precision and insight. This book, "Photometry: Science, Sensitivity, and Its Connection to Astronomy," is your guided journey into the fascinating world of measuring and interpreting light in the cosmos. 
  ​​​​​​​ 
  As you gaze upon the night sky, you might wonder: How do astronomers decipher the secrets held within the twinkling stars and distant galaxies? The answer lies in photometry, a powerful technique that allows scientists to quantify and analyze the luminous emissions of celestial objects. From determining the properties of stars and planets to unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos itself, photometry serves as the bedrock of astronomical research. 
  In this book, we embark on an exploration of the science of photometry, delving deep into its principles, techniques, and applications. Whether you are an aspiring astronomer, a seasoned researcher, or simply a curious soul with a passion for the night sky, this book will illuminate the path to understanding the luminous tapestry of our universe.

  This bundle contains three titles.  
  - General Relativity  
  - Special Relativity  
  - Relativity and Cosmology  
  The vastness of the universe and the mysteries of space and time have fascinated humanity for centuries. The theories of relativity, both special and general, have revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos, offering insights into the nature of gravity, space-time curvature, and the behavior of objects at speeds near that of light.  
  Together with cosmology, the study of the universe’s origins, structure, and eventual fate, these fields provide a unified framework for understanding the physical laws that govern everything from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. This collection delves into the principles that shape our universe, uncovering the deep connections between relativity and cosmology.

  Concussion is one of the most common neurological conditions, with many people having experienced at least one concussion within a lifetime. Concussion has been the focus of great media attention which has brought awareness to this important health issue. While most have heard about athletes and concussions, these injuries can occur at any age and can have many causes such as car accidents and falls. 
   
   
   
  In Navigating the Challenges of Concussion, expert clinicians and researchers in the fields of neurology and neuropsychology teamed together to provide up-to-date and evidence-based information for patients and families affected by concussion or those at increased risk of sustaining concussions. Topics covered include how concussion is different from other forms of brain injury, what to expect after a concussion, and what to do if symptoms are persisting. The authors explore extensively the common misconceptions around the treatment of concussion, and instead offer evidence-based guidance to follow instead. Special considerations for children and students, athletes, employees, military personnel, and older adults are discussed. Patient stories are included throughout which highlight some of the experiences that patients with concussion may face and may relate to their own concussion journey.

  Network engineers that want to advance their careers or learn more about the Cisco technology they are working with should invest in a Cisco certification. As a Cisco Certified professional, a person is armed with all the knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen area of expertise. The certification is globally recognized and sought after by major corporations, especially in today's ever-evolving world of IT technology. Cisco ensures that its certified network professionals are kept up to date with the latest technologies and trends. Obtaining a Cisco Certification validates that the IT professionals are dedicated to their career, it opens up new career paths, and may move them into a higher salary bracket. Cisco Certified professionals are in demand worldwide and that demand is increasing with the rapid technology development growth. They are also among the top-paying jobs in the world! If you are an IT professional wanting to further your career as a Cisco Certified professional, then it all starts with the new CCNA qualification. Recently, Cisco announced that they were revamping their certifications. They want to ensure their courses include all the latest technological innovations that pertain to their industry sector. On 23 February 2020 Cisco will be launching its new courses that affect each level of certification, from entry-level to architect level. They have retired some of their courses in an effort to streamline the certification path. Before, the CCNA consisted of multiple courses and exams, one for each network path, such as CCNA Cloud, CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Security. This meant three different courses and three different exams. The new CCNA replaces these individual CCNA courses and exams, which means one course covering a broader spectrum of IT fundamentals. It also means the IT professional only has to sit one exam to obtain their certificate! This book is a guide to help you discover the new CCNA certificate.

  Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
   
     
   
  In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
   
    
   
  Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.
