Petroleum-based and natural gas-based chemicals are well-established products that have served industry and consumers for more than one hundred years. However, time is running out and natural gas and petroleum are now being depleted at a measurable rate. Thus, the need for alternative technologies to produce chemicals is necessary. Chemicals produced from sources other than natural gas and petroleum are making headway into the chemical balance. The dynamics are now coming into place for the establishment of a chemicals-from-biomass industry, recognizing that it is not only supply and demand but the available and variable technology. Biomass Processes and Chemicals is written to assist the reader in understanding the options that are available for the production of chemicals from biomass.

This lyrical, stunning picture book is a warm-hearted tribute to siblings and their magical bond, with stunning art by award-winning illustrator Sonja Wimmer.p>It's true that sometimes we fight when we want to play with the same toys. But when night falls, we snuggle up together and fall asleep while we read fairy tales to each other. We're similar in so many ways! And we're different in others. But one thing is for sure, and that is that we'll always be there to help each other out. It doesn't matter if stormy nights or evening shadows come to visit us. As long as we are together, we will get through them. We've learned so many things together, and discovered that the day and the night, even though they seem so different, form a part of the same melody.Brothers and sisters play together, they fight, hug, and make each other laugh and cry. But, above all, they remain united

A History of Photography in 50 Cameras explores the 180-year story of perhaps the most widely used device ever built. It covers cameras in all forms, revealing the origins and development of each model and tracing the stories of the photographers who used and popularized them. Illustrated throughout with studio shots of all fifty cameras and a selection of iconic photographs made using them, it is the perfect companion guide for camera and photography enthusiasts alike. The cameras include: The Nikon F, the hockey puck that saved photographer Don McCullin's life when it stopped a sniper's bullet during the Vietnam War. Its indestructibility, reliability and interchangeable lenses made it a favored workhorse of photojournalists. The Leica M3-D was also favored by war photographers, including David Duncan Douglas, who used the camera during his coverage of the Korean and Vietnam Wars. In 2012, one of his four customized Leica cameras sold at auction for nearly $2 million. A Speed Gr

Build a solid foundation in the knowledge and skills you need to succeed as a nurse! Designed specifically for today's students, Fundamentals of Nursing, 3rd Edition takes a fresh, conversational approach that is friendlier than typical books on nursing fundamentals.

Practical exercises provide a unique kind of active learning, allowing you to apply concepts to actual patient care. Even care planning is different, as authors Barbara L. Yoost and Lynne R. Crawford are pioneers of conceptual care mapping - a visual, holistic way of making clinical judgments and planning patient care. Essentially, this text offers an easier, fundamentally different way to learn the nursing profession!

本書介紹了從荷馬到聖奧古斯丁的大約1100年裡古典思想中一些有哲學趣味的議題，主要關注希臘哲學（也就是用希臘語表達的哲學思想）及其直系後裔。本書是為那些對希臘羅馬世界的哲學家或其文學歷史背景知之甚少或完全不知的讀者而寫的，他們或多或少會從中得到他們所期待的東西。第一章是導言，介紹了本書涉及的範圍、時期劃分、主要論題和相關研究資料。第二章到第四章並未涵蓋人們通常設想的所有那些“前蘇格拉底哲學家”，倒是涵蓋了值得早期希臘哲學初學者進一步研究的一些作者和問題。第五章到第七章用了很大篇幅來討論柏拉圖和亞裡士多德，但又試圖避免讓他們佔據主導。第八章到第十一章希望讓讀者對亞裡士多德之後哲學中的變化和延續有所瞭解。作者在本書中顯示出哲學問題意識的多樣性和複雜性，從宇宙論、自然哲學、知識論、本體論、倫理學到政治哲學和神學，無所不包，所有討論的理論都被視為對哲學的重要貢獻，讀者可以發現自己從頭到尾都被哲學問題所吸引。所以，如果毫無哲學背景的讀者被這本古代哲學史導論引向了哲學，那是一點兒也不稀奇的，或許這正是作者的初衷。--------------------系列書目《科學哲學導論》（第四版）Philosophy of Science，Fourth Edition《技術哲學導論》Philosophy of Technology《古典思想》Classical Thought《觀念的發明者》（第三版）Inventors of Ideas，Third Edition《物理學的概念》（第五版）Physics: Concepts and Connections，Fifth Edition《時間之箭，時間之環》Time’s Arrow，Time’s Cycle《現代宇宙中的空間與時間》Space and Time in the Modern Universe《牛頓傳》The Life of Isaac Newton《瓦特傳》The Life and Legend of James Watt

Topology optimization is a digital method for designing objects in order to achieve the best structural performance, sometimes in combination with other physical requirements. Topology optimization tools use mathematical algorithms, such as the finite element method and gradient computation, to generate designs based on desired characteristics and predetermined constraints. Initially a purely academic tool, topology optimization has advanced rapidly and is increasingly being applied to the design of a wide range of products and components, from furniture to spacecraft. To explore the potential and challenges of topology optimization, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a two-day workshop on November 19-20, 2019, Exploiting Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities: Topology Optimization in Design. The workshop was organized around three main topics: how topology optimization can incorporate manufacturability along with functional design; challenges and opport

政治行動和政治制度要麼是基於政治哲學家發明的政治觀念，要麼是由於缺乏這樣的觀念。古往今來，偉大思想家通過提出回應社會問題的新觀念來回應其共同體中的危機。他們不僅過去是、現在也是才華橫溢之人，那些新的政治觀念將為他們所感受到的混亂帶來秩序。他們還給出理由來支持他們關於誰應當統治、如何統治以及為了誰的利益而統治這些問題的主張。無論亞裡士多德關於人性和宇宙的思考，聖奧古斯丁對於兩座城邦的看法，馬基雅維利的精英和大眾之分，霍布斯和洛克對自然狀態的構想，瑪麗·沃斯通克拉夫特對性別角色的批判，密爾的自由概念，馬克思對資本主義的批判，還是弗洛伊德對人類心理的刻畫，他們的觀念都帶來了改變。他們以此作為弱者的武器，用來對抗充當壓迫性政權工具的其他觀念。政治哲學的研究為我們呈現出過去的模式，我們可以通過人為的、抽象的但終究是有意義的術語（例如古代、中世紀以及現代）來考察這些模式。這些術語和相關的觀念為我們提供了新的視角，從而使得我們能夠以有助於擴大政治進步這一目標的方式去評價甚至改變當前的政府結構、組織與行為。因此，它們通過幫助我們從少數人或多數人的奴役中解放出來，提升了我們作為自由且負責任的公民採取行動的能力。本書是為幫助讀者看到政治哲學如何以種種大多數人沒有認識到的方式與人類生活的各個方面相聯繫，並旨在成為一本針對該主題的讀者友好型入門圖書。通過簡要地討論 17位主要西方政治思想家的觀點，以闡明他們關於政治和社會的觀點對於我們理解當代政治是多麼重要。--------------------系列書目《科學哲學導論》（第四版）Philosophy of Science，Fourth Edition《技術哲學導論》Philosophy of Technology《古典思想》Classical Thought《觀念的發明者》（第三版）Inventors of Ideas，Third Edition《物理學的概念》（第五版）Physics: Concepts and Connections，Fifth Edition《時間之箭，時間之環》Time’s Arrow，Time’s Cycle《現代宇宙中的空間與時間》Space and Time in the Modern Universe《牛頓傳》The Life of Isaac Newton《瓦特傳》The Life and Legend

We like to think we understand what’s happening around us; that we can determine the path our life takes. But often, things don’t go that way – in fact, they rarely do. What helps us respond to life as it unfolds? To live freely, stay humble and find comfort in difficult times? Is it possible to silence our inner critic, and learn to become a friend to ourselves? In the Swedish sensation I May Be Wrong, former forest monk Björn Natthiko Lindeblad shows how letting go of our need for control is about finding the courage to face the uncertainty that is a natural part of life. We don’t choose our thoughts. We don’t control the shape they take, or what pops into our minds. We can only choose whether or not to believe them. Infusing the eve

Quotations are a standard way that the humanities make meaning; the pull-quote, epigraph, and quotation are standard for citing evidence and invoking and interrogating authority in both literary and scholarly writing. However, film studies has yet to seriously examine how moving images canquote one another, convening interaction and creating new knowledge across time. Classical Projections offers film quotation as a new concept for understanding how preexisting moving image fragments are reframed and re-viewed within subsequent films. As a visual corollary to literary quotation, film quotations embed film fragments in on-screen movie screens. Though filmquotations have appeared since silent cinema, Classical Projections focuses on quotations of classical Hollywood film--mainstream American studio production, 1915-1950--as quoted in post-classical Hollywood, roughly 1960 to present. This strategic historical frame asks: how does post-classicalcinema visualize its awareness of coming aft

"Exceptionally absorbing and thrilling. ... Masterful." --NatureA magnificent (Scientific American), genre-defying narrative of the most ambitious science project ever conceived: NASA's deep space mission to Europa, the Jovian moon where might swim the first known alien life in our solar systemIn the spirit of Tom Wolfe and John McPhee, The Mission is an exuberant master class of creative nonfiction that reveals how a motley, determined few expanded the horizon of human achievement. When scientists discovered the first ocean beyond Earth, they had two big questions: "Is it habitable?" and "How do we get there?" To answer the first, they had to solve the second, and so began a vivacious team's twenty-year odyssey to mount a mission to Europa, the ocean moon of Jupiter.Standing in their way: NASA, fanatically consumed with landing robots on Mars; the White House, which never saw a science budget it couldn't cut; Congress, fixated on going to the moon or Mars--anywhere, really, to give as
