Beschreibung

"Snake Vision Secrets" offers a fascinating exploration of how snakes perceive their world through an intricate combination of visual, thermal, and chemical sensing abilities. This comprehensive examination reveals how these remarkable reptiles navigate and hunt effectively in diverse environments, even in complete darkness or underground.

 
The book uniquely integrates cutting-edge research from herpetology, neuroscience, and molecular biology to paint a complete picture of snake sensory capabilities. The text progresses systematically through three main areas: the specialized visual system of snakes, including their unique eye structure and the remarkable heat-sensing organs of pit vipers; their sophisticated chemical sensing abilities through the vomeronasal organ and forked tongue; and the complex neural processing that combines these inputs.

 
Through detailed diagrams, microscopy images, and infrared photography, readers gain unprecedented insight into how snakes create a comprehensive map of their environment using multiple sensory channels. What sets this book apart is its careful balance of scientific rigor with accessibility, making complex biological concepts understandable to both researchers and nature enthusiasts.

 
The authors draw compelling connections between snake sensory biology and practical applications in biomimetic technology and thermal imaging systems, demonstrating the broader significance of these evolutionary adaptations. By focusing specifically on sensory systems rather than general snake biology, the book provides an unparalleled depth of understanding about how these fascinating creatures perceive and interact with their world.

    In Not with a Bug, But with a Sticker: Attacks on Machine Learning Systems and What to Do About Them, a team of distinguished adversarial machine learning researchers deliver a riveting account of the most significant risk to currently deployed artificial intelligence systems: cybersecurity threats. The authors take you on a sweeping tour—from inside secretive government organizations to academic workshops at ski chalets to Google's cafeteria—recounting how major AI systems remain vulnerable to the exploits of bad actors of all stripes. 
     
     
     
    Based on hundreds of interviews of academic researchers, policy makers, business leaders and national security experts, the authors compile the complex science of attacking AI systems with color and flourish and provide a front row seat to those who championed this change. Grounded in real world examples of previous attacks, you will learn how adversaries can upend the reliability of otherwise robust AI systems with straightforward exploits.

    Predating written language and marching on through human history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. 
     
     
     
    Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the predictable oddities of quantum mechanics. 
     
      
     
    Along the way, Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.
