Download or read book How Bad Are Bananas written by Mike Berners-Lee and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part green-lifestyle guide, part popular science, How Bad Are Bananas? is the first book to provide the information we need to make carbon-savvy purchases and informed lifestyle choices and to build carbon considerations into our everyday thinking. The book puts our decisions into perspective with entries for the big things (the World Cup, volcanic eruptions, the Iraq war) as well as the small (email, ironing, a glass of beer). And it covers the range from birth (the carbon footprint of having a child) to death (the carbon impact of cremation). Packed full of surprises — a plastic bag has the smallest footprint of any item listed, while a block of cheese is bad news — the book continuously informs, delights, and engages the reader. Solidly researched and referenced, the easily digestible figures, statistics, charts, and graphs (including a section on the carbon footprint of various foods) will encourage discussion and help people to make up their own minds about their consumer choices.

Download or read book Banana Physics written by Adnan Contractor and published by New Degree Press. This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to make theoretical physics fun, Banana Physics explains eleven concepts in the context of quirky banana analogies. It introduces the curious (and resilient) reader to quantum mechanics, the Standard Model of Particle Physics, general relativity, loop quantum gravity, and other ideas using monkeys, banana trees, monkey-banana-baseball, bananas shot out of banana launchers, and banana smoothie spills. Intended for high school or middle school readers interested in scientific discoveries and history, Banana Physics could illuminate principles and hypotheses to budding scientists, writers, engineers, or anyone interested in interpreting science through a different lens. This resolute, accessible framework assumes no prior knowledge of physics; instead it provides a humorous, playful perspective on sophisticated concepts that may delight a broader audience.By reading Banana Physics, you'll learn: Behavioral observations of light and explanations that have been written to account for these observations.How experiments of quantum mechanics have been explained in the context of probability. The central contributions of Albert Einstein and how they conflict(ed) with preexisting ideas of space and time held since Newton's time. The role of particle physics and electromagnetism in Einstein's research. Critical clashes between ideas of modern physics
Download or read book Bananaworld written by Jeffrey Bub and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What on earth do bananas have to do with quantum mechanics? From a modern perspective, quantum mechanics is about strangely counterintuitive correlations between separated systems, which can be exploited in feats like quantum teleportation, unbreakable cryptographic schemes, and computers with enormously enhanced computing power. Schro'dinger coined the term "entanglement" to describe these bizarre correlations. Bananaworld -- an imaginary island with "entangled" bananas -- brings to life the fascinating discoveries of the new field of quantum information without the mathematical machinery of quantum mechanics. The connection with quantum correlations is fully explained in sections written for the non-physicist reader with a serious interest in understanding the mysteries of the quantum world. The result is a subversive but entertaining book that is accessible and interesting to a wide range of readers, with the novel thesis that quantum mechanics is about the structure of information. What we have discovered is that the possibilities for representing, manipulating, and communicating information are very different than we thought.
