Beschreibung

Glacier Origins explores how glaciers form, move, and dramatically reshape landscapes, emphasizing their role as dynamic agents of landscape evolution. The book highlights the accumulation of snow transforming into glacial ice and the forces driving glacial movement, like internal deformation. Intriguingly, glaciers don't just bulldoze; they also deposit materials, creating unique landforms. The book's approach is process-based, explaining the physical mechanisms behind glacial features rather than simply describing them.

 
Beginning with glacier formation and ice physics, it progresses through glacial dynamics and landform analysis, culminating in a discussion of glaciers in a warming world and its impact on water resources. By tracing the journey of ice and its profound effects, the book reveals the interconnectedness of climate, geology, and ecology in glacial environments.

    What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it. 
     
    Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. 
     
    NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction', how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light. 
     
    Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence - unviable for most people - The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ¬- and therefore the real people around us.

    50 Situations Awaiting Every Forensic Scientist is a personal guide to navigating the unique challenges and opportunities faced by America's forensic laboratory scientists. Charged with the awesome responsibility of giving a voice to the most commonly collected items of crime scene evidence, these highly trained professionals have a profound and lasting impact on the fairness and efficiency of our criminal justice system. In this thoughtful collection of heartfelt advice, humorous reflections, and candid self-admissions, acclaimed forensic laboratory administrator and expert witness coach, John M. Collins, encourages readers to stand tall in the face of adversity and opportunity. There is no such thing as a typical forensic science career, but there are situations, both common and uncommon, that can disorient even the most capable professionals if they are not prepared for them. Written from the perspective of one of the most recognized and respected forensic science leaders, not only in the United States but also internationally, 50 Situations promises to inspire and motivate, while also cautioning forensic scientists to remain alert for situations that are especially threatening or perplexing. Luck favors the prepared, which is why this book is a must-read for forensic science professionals at all levels of experience and responsibility who are interested in maximizing their individual effectiveness. 
    Two special features have been included in the 2nd edition for readers who are students or practicing forensic scientists. The first is the addition of five coaching questions at the end of each situation to facilitate reflection and discussion for both individuals and study groups. The second is a special chapter addressing criticisms launched against forensic science professionals by innocence activists in the criminal justice reform movement. While recognizing the legitimacy of this movement, the author puts these criticisms into their proper context.

    Unveiling Compiler Secrets from Source to Execution.
    Book Description
    Compilers are the backbone of modern computing, enabling programming languages to power everything from web applications to high-performance systems. Kickstart Compiler Design Fundamentals is the perfect starting point for anyone eager to explore the world of compiler construction.
    This book takes a structured, beginner-friendly approach to demystifying core topics such as lexical analysis, syntax parsing, semantic analysis, and code optimization. The chapters follow a progressive learning path, beginning with the basics of function calls, memory management, and instruction selection. As you advance, you’ll dive into machine-independent optimizations, register allocation, instruction-level parallelism, and data flow analysis. You’ll also explore loop transformations, peephole optimization, and cutting-edge compiler techniques used in real-world frameworks like LLVM and GCC. Each concept is reinforced with hands-on exercises, practical examples, and real-world applications.
