Download or read book Loose leaf Version for Biology How Life Works written by James Morris and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 1240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biology: How Life Works was written in response to recent and exciting changes in biology, education, and technology with the goal of helping students to think like biologists. The text, visual program, and assessments were developed together to provide students with the best resources to gain an understanding of modern biology. Content is selected carefully, is integrated to illustrate the connections between concepts, and follows six themes that are crucial to biology: the scientific method, chemical and physical principles, cells, evolution, ecological systems, and human impact. The second edition continues this approach, but includes expanded coverage of ecology, new in-class activities to assist instructors in active teaching, new pedagogical support for visual synthesis maps, and expanded and improved assessment.
Download or read book Sophie s World written by Jostein Gaarder and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2007-03-20 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Book excerpt: The Fifth Edition of INQUIRY INTO PHYSICS maintains the perfect balance of quantitative and conceptual content by carefully incorporating problem solving into a discernible conceptual framework. The text integrates simple mathematics so students can see the practicality of physics and have a means of testing scientific validity. Throughout the text, Ostdiek and Bord emphasize the relevance of physics in our daily lives. This text is committed to a concept- and inquiry-based style of learning, as evidenced in the ExploreItYourself boxes, concept-based flow-charts in the chapter openers, and Learning Checks. Students will also find applied examples throughout the text, such as metal detectors, Fresnel lenses, kaleidoscopes, and smoke detectors. The text also periodically reviews the historical development of physics, which is particularly relevant as context for non-science majors.

Download or read book Loose Leaf Version for Chemistry The Essential Concepts written by Kenneth Goldsby, Professor and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh edition of General Chemistry continues the tradition of presenting only the material that is essential for a one-year general chemistry course. It strikes a balance between theory and application by incorporating real-world examples; helping students visualize the three-dimensional atomic and molecular structures that are the basis of chemical activity; and developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Although the seventh edition incorporates many impressive features, such as conceptual idea review, animations correlated to the text, and hand-sketched worked examples, General Chemistry is still 200 to 300 pages shorter and much less expensive than other two-semester textbooks. Dr. Chang and Dr. Goldsby’ concise-but-thorough approach will appeal to efficiency-minded instructors and value-conscious students.
Download or read book The Infinite Holographic Quantum Physical Universe written by J.E. Andersen and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is J. E. Andersen, and it is not my name you should hang yourself in, but my new 5-dimensional universal holographic quantum physics model. This story starts up in 1976, when I had an incredible out-of-body experience, opened my eyes to the paranormal side-lying universe, and began exploring this experience. This led me to the right universal physics model, the physics model that I describe in my books. It was soon discovered that the 3-dimensional physics model would not be able to hold all the way. In 1986, I started a brand-new hologram model, which later turned out to reveal just the right active universe, which is 5-dimensional in the active universal engine room. We can only see, experience and detect the actual 'substance' coming out of the very innermost field of this field system, the Higg's fields! The Higg's fields are located inside the atoms, but atoms can also be empty, i.e., without the Higg's fields, and then we are inside the famous stealth technology, the 'invisibility technology'!! Remember that it is atoms that are the building blocks of the universe. It is precisely this stealth technology that comes out of this 5-dimensional very active holographic quantum physics, which is the next big breakthrough in all types of research today. The fact that the universe is no longer just physical leaves behind a universe that is totally 100% holographic, and which is powered 100% by an active 5-dimensional quantum physics. There are no physical particles in this universe, only this holographic 'matter' that can actually disappear and come back again, and now we have 'revealed' stealth technology. Stealth technology is about the relationship between the atoms and the inner Higg's fields. The atoms can actually operate completely empty, and now this 'object' can no longer be seen, due to the lack of Higg's 'substance'. This is more than interesting, this also very exciting, and completely new to you, because, this is the truth about the creation of the universe, expansion, the unifying mass inside all gravitational fields, which turn into 'pressure cookers', and develop moons into planets, planets into gas planets, gas planets into stars, and the stars burn up the physical liquid plasma, transforming this plasma into the totally invisible starlight, and thus becomes a black hole. It is the gravitational fields that create, shape and develop absolutely everything that is visible in this universe. Read my books about technology and physics.
