Book excerpt: When historians of the future come to examine western civilization in the twentieth century, one area of intellectual accomplishment will stand out above all others; more than any other era before it, the twentieth century was an age of science. Not only were the practical details of daily life radically transformed by the application of scientific discoveries, but our very sense of who we are, how our minds work, how our world came to be, how it works and our proper role in it, our ultimate origins, and our ultimate fate were all influenced by scientific thinking as never before in human history. In the Age of Science, the former editor and publisher of Scientific American gives us a sweeping overview of the scientific achievements of the twentieth century, with chaers on the fundamental forces of nature, the subatomic world, cosmology, the cell and molecular biology, earth history and the evolution of life, and human evolution. Beautifully written and illustrated, this is a book for the connoisseur; an elegant, informative, magisterial summation of one of the twentieth century's greatest cultural achievements.

Download or read book Conservation Technology written by Serge A. Wich and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The global loss of biodiversity is occurring at an unprecedented pace. Despite the considerable effort devoted to conservation science and management, we still lack the basic data on the distribution and density of most animal and plant species, which in turn hampers our efforts to study changes over time. In addition, we often lack behavioural data from the very animals most influenced by environmental changes; this is largely due to the financial and logistical limitations associated with gathering scientific data on animals that are either widely distributed, cryptic, or negatively influenced by human presence. To overcome these limitations, conservationists are increasingly integrating/employing/incorporating technology to facilitate such data collection. The use of camera traps, acoustic sensors, satellite data, drones, and sophisticated computer algorithms to analyse the large datasets collected are becoming increasingly common. Although there are several specialist books on some of these technologies, there is currently no overarching volume that describes the available technology for conservation and evaluates its varied applications. This edited volume will fill this void, bringing together a team of international experts using a diverse range of approaches"--

Book excerpt: Porque La VIDA, con mayúsculas, está llena de obstáculos para que puedas saltarlos. De cada experiencia vivida se aprende, mucho o poco, pero se aprende.... Una vida fácil, sin piedras en el camino, una línea recta... en la que sólo se nace, se crece y finalmente se muere, estaría vacía y sería tan absurdo, tan aburrido.... por eso la vida está diseñada de otro modo y no para día tras día, año tras año, de ponerte a prueba, con aquel gran susto, con aquel engaño, con aquella injusta y repentina muerte, con aquella amiga que crees que te falló ..... No son más que, pequeños problemas, pequeñas experiencias, pequeñas vivencias .... que vas sufriendo y llorando de una forma tan curiosamente exagerada, cuando aún no has aprendido. Es bueno reconocer, que cada uno de los sucesos que ocurren en nuestras vidas, son pérdidas pero a la vez ganancias. Y a medida que creces porque vives, te darás cuenta y comprenderás, que nada es tan importante, como la propia VIDA.

Download or read book Beer of Broadway Fame written by Alfred W. McCoy and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2016 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the Regional category For more than a century, New York City was the brewing capital of America, with more breweries producing more beer than any other city, including Milwaukee and St. Louis. In Beer of Broadway Fame, Alfred W. McCoy traces the hundred-year history of the prominent Brooklyn brewery, Piel Bros., and provides an intimate portrait of the company's German American family. Through quality and innovation Piel Bros. grew from Brooklyn's smallest brewery in 1884, producing only 850 kegs, into the sixteenth-largest brewery in America, brewing over a million barrels by 1952. Through a narrative spanning three generations, McCoy examines the demoralizing impact of pervasive US state surveillance during World War I and the Cold War, as well as the forced assimilation that virtually erased German American identity from public life after World War I. McCoy traces Piel Bros.'s changing fortunes from its early struggle to survive in New York's Gilded Age beer market, the travails of Prohibition with police raids and gangster death threats, to the crushing competition from the big national brands after World War II. Through a fusion of corporate records with intimate personal correspondence, McCoy reveals the social forces that changed a great city, the US brewing industry, and the country's economy.
