Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited sources in marine science and oceanography. The ever-increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues, especially global climate change and its impacts, creates a demand for authoritative refereed reviews summarizing and synthesizing the results of recent research. For more than 50 years, OMBAR has been an...

Tech experts Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever describe dozens of astonishing technological advances in this fascinating and thought-provoking book, which asks what kind of future lies ahead -- Star Trek or Mad Max ? Breakthroughs such as personalized genomics, drones, self-driving vehicles, and artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, the same technologies raise the specter of a frightening future...

A history of technology from the age of stone implements to that of the supercomputer. Describes the social and cultural contexts within which technology developed.

"This book is aimed at new mechanical design engineers -- to improve your employability and to help you "˜hit the ground running'. It also contains useful information and checklists for more experienced designers. It's a quick read, listing real-world, non-academic, practical experiences which you won't find in an engineer's technical reference book. It includes design and drafting guides, good advice for everyday design and general office life,...

A photographic survey of developments in technology since the mid-eighteenth century, with information about the people behind the inventions.

Study one of the most complete transformations of reality in history: the new picture of life that emerged from the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Close by tracing their influence on William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and on television reality shows..

This program covers the important topic of standing waves and resonance (part 2) in Physics. We begin by discussing how waves can be made to reflect off of an object and interfere in the opposite direction to the original wave leading to a standing wave. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills...

From the American dust bowl of the 1930s to the relentless expansion of the Sahara in Africa, drought represents severe weather that can stretch out for years. Explore what’s going on in the atmosphere to create extreme drought, which is associated with heat waves and dust storms.

This program covers the important topic of conservation of energy (part 1) in simple harmonic motion in Physics. We begin by discussing how in a perfect system energy is neither created nor destroyed. As the object swings, the energy is continually transferred from kinetic to potential forms and vice versa. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis...
