Behind the scenes, stories, jokes and analysis of all the Monkey Island games, including many interviews of the creators. LucasArts has become a legendary developer in part because of The Secret of Monkey Island, which was created here in 1990. The Secret of Monkey Island, the world's most famous point-and-click adventure game, owes its reputation to its world of colourful, delightfully anachronistic pirates, to its Monty Python humour, but also, quite simply, to the fact that it revolutionised a genre. This book is a tribute to the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, the great pirate. But it also aims to explain why Monkey Island represents a decisive step forward in the way a story can be told through a video game. It will also look back at the turbulent history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, discover a few recipes for voodoo toddy, learn interactive pirate reggae songs, shine at a social gathering of forty-something geeks and discover lines as sharp as a boarding sword (useful for

Computational thinking is increasingly gaining importance in modern biology, due to the unprecedented scale at which data is nowadays produced. Bridging the cultural gap between the biological and computational sciences, this book serves as an accessible introduction to computational concepts for students in the life sciences. It focuses on teaching algorithmic and logical thinking, rather than just the use of existing bioinformatics tools or programming. Topics are presented from a biological point of view, to demonstrate how computational approaches can be used to solve problems in biology such as biological image processing, regulatory networks, and sequence analysis. The book contains a range of pedagogical features to aid understanding, including real-world examples, in-text exercises, end-of-chapter problems, colour-coded Python code, and 'code explained' boxes. User-friendly throughout, Computational Thinking for Life Scientists promotes the thinking skills and self-efficacy req

Python is one of the most popular programming languages, widely used for data analysis and modelling, and is fast becoming the leading choice for scientists and engineers. Unlike other textbooks introducing Python, typically organised by language syntax, this book uses many examples from across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth science, and Engineering to teach and motivate students in science and engineering. The text is organised by the tasks and workflows students undertake day-to-day, helping them see the connections between programming tools and their disciplines. The pace of study is carefully developed for complete beginners, and a spiral pedagogy is used so concepts are introduced across multiple chapters, allowing readers to engage with topics more than once. “Try This!” exercises and online Jupyter notebooks encourage students to test their new knowledge, and further develop their programming skills. Online solutions are available for instructors, alongside discipline-specif

It is evident that some of the most powerful brands are deeply embedded in our unconscious emotions and memories. The purpose of this book is to develop an understanding of the link between the human brain and brand management principles as well as activities. It will educate readers about brain-operating principles and their impact on how humans perceive brands. The book also analyzes how modern brands are created by leveraging brain functioning. In a nutshell, the book explains the indispensable role that the human brain plays in creating, sustaining and rejuvenating brands.

Functional and concurrent programming paradigms can help experienced object-oriented developers write high-quality software faster: code that's easier to understand, debug, optimize, and evolve. But these approaches have often been surrounded by mystification and misconceptions, leading many developers to avoid them. In Functional and Concurrent Programming, Michel Charpentier clears away the confusion, showing how to use these features safely and well, so you can gain their benefits without their pitfalls. Writing for developers with some object-oriented experience in Java, C++, C#, Python, or elsewhere, Charpentier teaches key concepts through the use of realistic, modern examples: code written in Scala, but relevant to users of any modern object-oriented language. As a hybrid language, Scala can be used effectively to illustrate both object-oriented and functional programming; it offers advanced features for concurrency; and it interoperates with Java, and can use many components of
