  ★★ It might not be rocket science, but quantum physics is one field of science that has challenged scientists for decades. ★★ 
  Infamously, it is one of the most difficult branches of science to understand. One reason for this is that you must be ready to envision the unthinkable. Quantum physics defies common sense and intuition, and has often been described as “weird”, or “strange”, even by famous scientists like Einstein. 
  To spare you the trauma, this book will not delve into mind-boggling math or equations. This book serves as a smooth introduction into quantum physics - probably the easiest you will come across. For years, the crazy math has made many people assume quantum physics to be the preserve of a select few. That shouldn’t be the case. Quantum physics is an exciting journey if you are a thrill seeker. 
  Comprehensible? Yes, it is. You don’t have to go about it the difficult way either. In this book, we will cover the basic concepts and theories that are the foundation upon which quantum physics thrives today. With this knowledge, you can then graduate deeper into the intrigues of quantum physics. 
  The beauty of learning quantum physics is that you probably have as much certainty of the concepts as the top scientists in the world today. After all, simple things like the workings of measurements are still a conundrum to quantum physicists.

  The word Biology has been derived from two Greek words, ‘Bios' meaning ‘Life' and ‘Logos' meaning ‘Study' and thus is defined as the science that carries out studies of life, living organisms, and their evolution. 
  Biology is concerned with carrying out studies of physical structure, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development, evolution and chemical processes taking place within a living organism. For biology, ‘cell’ is regarded to be the basic unit of life, ‘gene’ as the basic unit of heredity and ‘evolution’ is considered to be the engine that is responsible for driving the processes of creation and extinction of species. 
  The person possessing the knowledge of biology has the opportunities to work in a variety of fields, namely Research, healthcare, environmental conservation, education, forensic science, biotechnology, economics, business and industries, government policies and many others. 
  It has been seen that biology also referred to as the study of life has facilitated the people in shaping up the world to some extent. Within biology lies many reliable and credible answers that explanation as to why the things happen in a scientific manner. 
  The field of biology consists of numerous research fields and like, the other fields of sciences make use of the scientific method for procuring results. This gives the biologists the appropriate space and the chance that they require for display of ideas along with the evidence and also provides with the opportunity of testing others’ ideas for their own selves.

  Summary of Stephen Hawking's Brief Answers to the Big Questions presents the thoughts of theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking on 10 major scientific and philosophical debates, including whether a deity exists, whether intelligent life exists in space, and whether humans should seek out a new home outside of Earth. Hawking, who spent his life studying how black holes could help scientists better understand the universe’s beginnings, began compiling these answers in the year before his death from a personal archive of speeches, essays, and other musings he had delivered during his time as a scientist and public figure...

  You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we’re better off without them. In his important new audiobook, Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms behind before it’s too late. 
  Lanier’s reasons for freeing ourselves from social media’s poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more “connected” than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the “benefits” of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? 
  Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us towards richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world.
