Download or read book Great Adaptations written by Kenneth Catania and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The irresistible enthusiasm of Great Adaptations couldn’t come at a better time."—David P. Barash, Wall Street Journal "Be very amazed."—Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words and Becoming Wild How one scientist unlocked the secrets behind some of nature’s most astounding animals From star-nosed moles that have super-sensing snouts to electric eels that paralyze their prey, animals possess unique and extraordinary abilities. In Great Adaptations, Kenneth Catania presents an entertaining and engaging look at some of nature’s most remarkable creatures. Telling the story of his biological detective work, Catania sheds light on the mysteries behind the behaviors of tentacled snakes, tiny shrews, zombie-making wasps, and more. He shows not only how studying these animals can provide deep insights into how life evolved, but also how scientific discovery can be filled with adventure and fun. Beginning with the star-nosed mole, Catania reveals what the creature’s nasal star is actually for, and what this tells us about how brains work. He explores how the deceptive hunting strategy of tentacled snakes leads prey straight to their mouths, how eels use electricity to control other animals, and why emerald jewel wasps make zombies out of cockroaches. He also solves the enigma of worm grunting—a traditional technique in which earthworms are enticed out of the ground—by teaming up with professional worm grunters. Catania demonstrates the merits of approaching science with an open mind, considers the role played by citizen scientists, and illustrates that most animals have incredible, hidden abilities that defy our imagination. Examining some strange and spectacular creatures, Great Adaptations offers a wondrous journey into nature’s grand designs.
Download or read book Renewable Energy Forecasting written by Georges Kariniotakis and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewable Energy Forecasting: From Models to Applications provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of renewable energy forecasting technology and its applications. After an introduction to the principles of meteorology and renewable energy generation, groups of chapters address forecasting models, very short-term forecasting, forecasting of extremes, and longer term forecasting. The final part of the book focuses on important applications of forecasting for power system management and in energy markets. Due to shrinking fossil fuel reserves and concerns about climate change, renewable energy holds an increasing share of the energy mix. Solar, wind, wave, and hydro energy are dependent on highly variable weather conditions, so their increased penetration will lead to strong fluctuations in the power injected into the electricity grid, which needs to be managed. Reliable, high quality forecasts of renewable power generation are therefore essential for the smooth integration of large amounts of solar, wind, wave, and hydropower into the grid as well as for the profitability and effectiveness of such renewable energy projects. Offers comprehensive coverage of wind, solar, wave, and hydropower forecasting in one convenient volume Addresses a topic that is growing in importance, given the increasing penetration of renewable energy in many countries Reviews state-of-the-science techniques for renewable energy forecasting Contains chapters on operational applications

Download or read book Great Travellers Volume 4 written by Various and published by VM eBooks. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Next to actual travel, the reading of first-class travel stories by men and women of genius is the finest aid to the broadening of views and enlargement of useful knowledge of men and the world’s ways. It is the highest form of intellectual recreation, with the advantage over fiction-reading of satisfying the wholesome desire for facts. With all our modern enthusiasm for long journeys and foreign travel, now so easy of accomplishment, we see but very little of the great world. The fact that ocean voyages are now called mere “trips” has not made us over-familiar with even our own kinsfolk in our new dependencies. Foreign peoples and lands are still strange to us. Tropic and Arctic lands are as far apart in condition as ever; Europe differs from Asia, America from Africa, as markedly as ever. Man still presents every grade of development, from the lowest savagery to the highest civilization, and our interest in the marvels of nature and art, the variety of plant and animal life, and the widely varied habits and conditions, modes of thought and action, of mankind, is in no danger of losing its zest. These considerations have guided us in our endeavor to tell the story of the world, alike of its familiar and unfamiliar localities, as displayed in the narratives of those who have seen its every part. Special interest attaches to the stories of those travellers who first gazed upon the wonders and observed the inhabitants of previously unknown lands, and whose descriptions are therefore those of discoverers. One indisputable advantage belongs to this work over the average record of travel: the reader is not tied down to the perusal of a one-man book. He has the privilege of calling at pleasure upon any one of these eminent travellers to recount his or her exploit, with the certainty of finding they are all in their happiest vein and tell their best stories.
Download or read book Lullaby and Good Night written by Vincent T. Bugliosi and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2024-08-24 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful, haunted woman in a glittering and corrupt era takes center stage in this sizzling novel based on a true sex scandal that rocked New York City in the Roaring Twenties. Vincent T. Bugliosi, bestselling author of Helter Skelter, masterfully blends an irresistible tale of crime and passion with a richly textured re-creation of a time gone by. Brought to life are the 1920s—this century’s wildest decade, when New York was the capital of pleasure, and anything went for a price. To this city of bright lights and dark corners comes the lovely, innocent Emily Stanton, hoping for fame on the stage. What she finds is marriage to Warren Matthews, who has hooked his wagon to the gravy train of Tammany Hall’s political corruption and is riding it to the social heights. When the marriage turns into a nightmare of brutality, Emily flees with her young daughter, Jessica, only to find herself the victim of a vicious frameup masterminded by her husband to gain custody of Jessica. Robbed of her child, her reputation, and her career, a desperate Emily begins her single-minded odyssey through Manhattan’s illicit and dazzling high life to get evidence against those who framed her, so she can win her precious daughter back. Still beautiful and magnetic, she becomes a singing hostess at Texas Guinan’s notorious speakeasy. There she makes connections with the powerful likes of famed madam Polly Adler, Judge Joseph Crater, gambler Arnold Rothstein, and dapper Mayor Jimmy Walker. Finally, Emily’s battle to get back her child threatens to destroy the people who savaged her and the infamous system that spawned them. And as the decade’s frenzy mounts to its explosive climax, Emily’s very life reaches its moment of decision in a sensational murder trial that rips the last shred of secrecy from a revelation so shocking, it will shake even this blase city to its core. With this riveting human drama, Vincent Bugliosi evokes a legendary era and its glamorous and decadent underworld of speakeasies and bootleg gin, mobsters and flappers—a time and way of life that never ceases to fascinate.
