Listen To Your Microbes - Laura Gowers - Bog - Liberties Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Listen To Your Microbes - Laura Gowers - Bog - Liberties Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

When we are born, we are basically sterile. By the time we die, we are more microbe than human. Microscopic organisms are essential to the development of human life. Until Antonie van Leeuwenhoek observed his own microbes under a self-made microscope in the seventeenth century, we were not even aware that they existed. Clinician-scientist Fergus Shanahan and graphic design artist Laura Gowers shed light on the microbial world. How can we nurture microbes in the face of the climate emergency? Why do Irish Travellers have a unique microbiome? A remarkable, ground-breaking graphic book.

A Handful of Dust - Evelyn Waugh - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Handful of Dust - Evelyn Waugh - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

After seven years of marriage, the beautiful Lady Brenda Last is bored with life at Hetton Abbey, the Gothic mansion that is the pride and joy of her husband, Tony. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set. Brilliantly combining tragedy, comedy and savage irony, A Handful of Dust captures the irresponsible mood of the ''crazy and sterile generation'' between the wars. This breakdown of the Last marriage is a painful, comic re-working of Waugh''s own divorce, and a symbol of the breakdown of society.

Orphans of the Living - Joanna Penglase - Bog - Fremantle Press - Plusbog.dk

Orphans of the Living - Joanna Penglase - Bog - Fremantle Press - Plusbog.dk

In August 2004, Parliamentary senators wept as they presented Forgotten Australians, the report from the Senate Inquiry into the treatment of children in care. Half a million children grew up in care in twentieth-century Australia, and most often these children lived with daily brutal physical and emotional abuse in the sterile environment of an institution. Drawing on interviews, submissions to the Senate Inquiry, and her own experience, Joanna Penglase describes for the first time the experience from the perspective of the survivors. With tenderness, compassion and intellect, Penglase begins to unravel the seemingly inexplicable: how and why did this happen? She looks not only at the profound personal costs to these children, but the huge social and economic costs of these past policies.

John Stewart Bell and Twentieth-Century Physics - Andrew (professor Of Physics Whitaker - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

John Stewart Bell and Twentieth-Century Physics - Andrew (professor Of Physics Whitaker - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

John Stewart Bell (1928-1990) was one of the most important figures in twentieth-century physics, famous for his work on the fundamental aspects of the century''s most important theory, quantum mechanics. While the debate over quantum theory between the supremely famous physicists, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, appeared to have become sterile in the 1930s, Bell was able to revive it and to make crucial advances - Bell''s Theorem or Bell''s Inequalities. He was able to demonstrate a contradiction between quantum theory and essential elements of pre-quantum theory - locality and causality. The book gives a non-mathematical account of Bell''s relatively impoverished upbringing in Belfast and his education. It describes his major contributions to quantum theory, but also his important work in the physics of accelerators, and nuclear and elementary particle physics.

The River - Chris Hammer - Bog - Melbourne University Press - Plusbog.dk

The River - Chris Hammer - Bog - Melbourne University Press - Plusbog.dk

Australia's major river system is collapsing. Parts of it are dying; parts of it are already dead. Australia's most significant river no longer reaches the sea. I look out into the dim autumn light and wonder once again how it has come to this . . . In The River, Chris Hammer takes us on a journey through Australia's heartland, following the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin, recounting his experiences, his impressions, and, above all, stories of the people he meets along the way. It's a journey punctuated with laughter, sadness and reflection. The River looks past the daily news reports and their sterile statistics, revealing the true impact of our rivers' decline on the people who live along their shores, and on the country as a whole. It's a tale that leaves the reader with a lingering sense of nostalgia for an Australia that may be fading away forever.

Dungeon Hacks - David L. Craddock - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1980, computers were instruments of science and mathematics, military secrets and academia. Stern administrators lorded over sterile university laboratories and stressed one point to the wide-eyed students privileged enough to set foot within them: Computers were not toys. Defying authority, hackers seized control of monolithic mainframes to create a new breed of computer game: the roguelike, cryptic and tough-as-nails adventures drawn from text-based symbols instead of state-of-the-art 3D graphics. Despite their visual simplicity, roguelike games captivate thousands of players around the world. From the author of the bestselling Stay Awhile and Listen series, Dungeon Hacks: How NetHack, Angband, and Other Roguelikes Changed the Course of Video Games introduces you to the visionaries behind some of the most popular roguelikes of all time and shows how their creations paved the way for the blockbuster videogames of today—and beyond.

America's Forgotten Poet-Philosopher - Michael A. Flannery - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

America's Forgotten Poet-Philosopher - Michael A. Flannery - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Illuminating study of the ideas and influences of a near-forgotten American philosopher. This book examines the ideas and influences of a nearly forgotten Swedish-American philosopher, John Elof Boodin (1869–1950). A friend and student of William James and protégé of Josiah Royce at Harvard, Boodin combined Jamesian pragmatism and Roycean idealism in developing original scholarship (nearly sixty articles and eight books) from 1900 to 1947, in addition to a volume of posthumous papers published in 1957. Although he is seldom remembered today, the enduring importance of pragmatism and the rising influence of process theology today suggests that his close reading of early to mid-twentieth-century science and vast grasp of philosophical issues warrants a renewed interest in his work that can be a valuable antidote to the sterile and constricting effects of reductionism and dogmatic materialism prevalent today in both those fields.

The Pillars of Creation - Martin Beech - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

The Pillars of Creation - Martin Beech - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the mechanics of star formation, the process by which matter pulls together and creates new structures. Written for science enthusiasts, the author presents an accessible explanation of how stars are born from the interstellar medium and giant molecular clouds. Stars produce the chemicals that lead to life, and it is they that have enabled the conditions for planets to form and life to emerge. Although the Big Bang provided the spark of initiation, the primordial universe that it sired was born hopelessly sterile. It is only through the continued recycling of the interstellar medium, star formation, and stellar evolution that the universe has been animated beyond a chaotic mess of elementary atomic particles, radiation, dark matter, dark energy, and expanding spacetime. Using the Milky Way and the Eagle Nebula in particular as case studies, Beech follows every step of this amazing process.

Pulsens Koordinater - Nanna Lundgaard Arbøl - Bog - Forlaget Copenhagen Storytellers - Plusbog.dk

Pulsens Koordinater - Nanna Lundgaard Arbøl - Bog - Forlaget Copenhagen Storytellers - Plusbog.dk

Pulsens Koordinater er en kunstnerisk rejse, om det at miste sig selv og finde sig selv i processen. Historien begynder med en kvindes mistede hjerte, og tager dig med igennem et sanseberusende hav af følelser, tanker og nye erfaringer. En skyggevandring gennem Københavns gader i jagten på hendes indre puls og storbyens vildskab, med hver tekst som et koordinat på denne rejse. Uddrag fra digtet ‘Istedgade, Første sok’:“ Du leder efter sterile nåletil at lappe dit hjerte i jagten på din egen puls som dengang du græ dog ikke kunne finde hjertet fordi det var blevet trampet på midt i myldretiden ”Om forfatteren: Nanna Lundgaard Arbøl, (f. 1989.), er bosat i København Ø. Hendes tekstunivers er et forsødet indblik i de rå følelser, der med sine Disney- og eventyrsreferencer ofte skildrer den moderne kvindes kamp fra ung pige til kvinde, som en underspillet indre konflikt.
