14.Encyclopedia of Evolution
Encyclopedia of Evolution contains 215 entries, which
span modern evolutionary science and the history of its development. Even
though the entries use some technical terminology, it is intended to be concise
and useful to non-specialist readers. By reading these entries, you may discover
that many of the things that you have heard all of your life about evolution
are wrong. Encyclopedia
of Evolution adopts
a stance, nearly universal among scientists, that is critical of creationism
and its variations such as intelligent design theory. The evolutionary view of
the world helps us to appreciate our place in it and also to be grateful for
the beauty of the world. We see ourselves as existing, as highly intelligent
creatures, for only a tiny fraction of the history of the universe, and as part
of an ecological and evolutionary web of the life of this planet. This e-book

26.The Shape of
Life : Genes, Development and the Evolution of Animal Form
Rudolf Raff is
recognized as a pioneer in evolutionary developmental biology. In their 1983
book, Embryos, Genes, and Evolution, Raff and co-author Thomas Kaufman proposed
a synthesis of developmental and evolutionary biology. In this book, Raff
analyzes the rise of this new experimental discipline and lays out new research
questions, hypotheses, and approaches to guide its development. Raff uses the
evolution of animal body plans to exemplify the interplay between developmental
mechanisms and evolutionary patterns. Animal body plans emerged half a billion
years ago. Evolution within these body plans during this span of time has
resulted in the tremendous diversity of living animal forms. Raff argues for an
integrated approach to the study of the intertwined roles of development and
evolution involving phylogenetic, comparative, and
functional biology. This new synthesis will interest not only scientists
working in these areas, but also paleontologists, zoologists, morphologists,
molecular biologists, and geneticists. This e-book contains 538 pages.

28.Energy, the Subtle Concept: The discovery of Feynman’s blocks from Leibniz to Einstein
But
what, exactly, is being conserved? Are some forms of energy more fundamental
than others? What is the link between energy, space, time, and matter? Th e various forms and their formulae are so seemingly
unrelated—is there some underlying essence of energy? Th
e aim of this book is to answer these questions and to explain the
concept of energy through the history of its discovery. The aim of this book is to explain
energy and to use the history of its emergence for this purpose. As the book is
therefore primarily physics explanation rather than history of physics, no
attempt is made at a comprehensive historical account. The chronology is broken
up by frequent asides and explanations in modern terms. The amount of biographical
detail is mostly in inverse proportion to the fame of the given scientist and
many important scientists are left out altogether (Colding,
Rankine, Séguin, Lomonosov, la Borda, Bélidor, Holtzmann, Krönig, Ewart, Hachette, Coriolis, and others). Chapters 2 – 16 chart the discovery
of energy up to the mid- nineteenth century. Chapters 17 and 18 look forward to
energy in the modern era: the treatment is more condensed and assumes a
background in the physical sciences.This e-book
contains 415 pages.

33 Nature and Motion in Physics point of View - 6 volumes
This
book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. Curiosity
about how people, animals, things, images and space move leads to many
adventures. This volume presents the best of them in the domain of everyday
life. In order to be simple, the text focuses on concepts, while keeping mathematics to
the necessary minimum. Understanding the concepts of physics is given
precedence over using formulae in calculations.The
whole text is within the reach of an undergraduate. In order to be up to date, the text is enriched by themany
gems – both theoretical and empirical – that are scattered throughout the scientific
literature. In order to be captivating, the text tries
to startle the reader as much as possible. Reading a book on general physics
should be like going to a magic show. We watch, we are astonished, we do not
believe our eyes, we think, and finally we understand the trick. When we look
at nature, we often have the same xperience. Indeed,
every page presents at least one surprise or provocation for the reader to
think about. Numerous interesting challenges are proposed. The motto of the text, dieMenschen
starken, die Sachen
klaren, a
famous statement by Hartmut von Hentig
on pedagogy, translates as: ‘To fortify people, to clarify things.’ Clarifying
things
requires courage, as changing habits of thought produces fear, often hidden by
anger. But by overcoming our fears we grow in strength. And we experience
intense and beautiful emotions.
This
e-book consists of the topics on fall, flow and heat, relativity, light,
charges and brain, the quantum of change, pleasure, technology and stars, and
speculation on unification. This e-book contains 2146 pages.

of some of the CNS circuits for the purpose of stimulating the reader’s
interest. The speculative nature of such statements are clearly stated. We
suggest that the reader reads through the entire book at least once to develop
an overview of the brain. This e-book contains 283 pages.
