It's Not Rocket Science by Ben Miller Pdf

The Top Ten Bestseller Black holes. DNA. The Large Hadron Collider. Ever had that sneaking feeling that you are missing out on some truly spectacular science? You do? Well, fear not, for help is at hand. Ben Miller was working on his Physics PhD at Cambridge when he accidentally became a comedian. But first love runs deep, and he has returned to his roots to share with you all his favourite bits of science. This is the stuff you really need to know, not only because it matters but because it will quite simply amaze and delight you. 'Let me show you another, perhaps less familiar side of Science; her beauty, her seductiveness and her passion. And let's do it quickly, while Maths isn't looking' - Ben Miller 'This book makes climate change actually seem interesting. Not just important - it's obviously important - but interesting. As a result I bought lots of other books about climate change, something I now regret' - David Mitchell Ben Miller is, like you, a mutant ape living through an Ice Age on a ball of molten iron, orbiting a supermassive black hole. He is also an actor, comedian and approximately one half of Armstrong & Miller. He's presented a BBC Horizon documentary on temperature and a Radio 4 series about the history of particle physics, and has written a science column for The Times. He is slowly coming to terms with the idea that he may never be an astronaut.

This is (not) Rocket Science by Lucio Di Jasio Pdf

"The introduction of the Core Independent Peripherals represents a major shift in the way PIC® microcontroller solutions can be developed today. While low-end 32-bit MCUs, competing for the same applications space, are suggesting an ever stronger focus on software (meaning more code, more complexity) and require higher clock speeds, the Core Independent Peripherals philosophy is based on the use of autonomous and directly interconnected hardware peripheral blocks. You will achieve more while reducing software complexity, delivering faster response times at lower clock speeds using less power!"--Back cover

Think Like a Rocket Scientist by Ozan Varol Pdf

* One of Inc.com's "6 Books You Need to Read in 2020 (According to Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, and Adam Grant)"* Adam Grant's # 1 pick of his top 20 books of 2020* One of 6 Groundbreaking Books of Spring 2020 (according to Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Dan Pink, and Adam Grant). A former rocket scientist reveals the habits, ideas, and strategies that will empower you to turn the seemingly impossible into the possible. Rocket science is often celebrated as the ultimate triumph of technology. But it's not. Rather, it's the apex of a certain thought process -- a way to imagine the unimaginable and solve the unsolvable. It's the same thought process that enabled Neil Armstrong to take his giant leap for mankind, that allows spacecraft to travel millions of miles through outer space and land on a precise spot, and that brings us closer to colonizing other planets. Fortunately, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to think like one. In this accessible and practical book, Ozan Varol reveals nine simple strategies from rocket science that you can use to make your own giant leaps in work and life -- whether it's landing your dream job, accelerating your business, learning a new skill, or creating the next breakthrough product. Today, thinking like a rocket scientist is a necessity. We all encounter complex and unfamiliar problems in our lives. Those who can tackle these problems -- without clear guidelines and with the clock ticking -- enjoy an extraordinary advantage. Think Like a Rocket Scientist will inspire you to take your own moonshot and enable you to achieve liftoff.

Why It's Not All Rocket Science by Robert Cave Pdf

Robert Cave examines 100 extraordinary projects, theories and experiments that have been conducted in the name of science. Some, including various nuclear tests, have attracted controversy and hostility; others, such as Johann Wilhelm Ritter's erotic self-experiments with a voltaic pile, seem downright weird. But Cave demonstrates, thoroughly and informatively, that it is only by doggedly asking awkward questions, and paying close attention to the answers, that scientists have been able to make progress. From spider monkeys to human cyborgs, and from swimming in syrup to chaos theory, Cave places each experiment and discovery in its scientific context to present an entertaining guide to some of the most jaw-dropping entries in the history of science. Why It's Not All Rocket Science contains chapters on psychology, the body, society, planet Earth and the universe, and to read it is to gain startling insights into why scientists seem to behave so oddly, and how their brilliant if sometimes bizarre work benefits all of society.

It's ONLY Rocket Science by Lucy Rogers Pdf

Most amateur astronomers – and many of those with similar interests but who are not currently practising observers – have only a sketchy understanding of space flight. This book provides an introduction to its mechanics. The beauty of this book, written by an engineer who is also an accomplished science writer, is that it covers the subject comprehensively, and yet is almost entirely descriptive and non-mathematical. It deals with all aspects of space flight, from how to leave the Earth (including the design of the rocket, mission planning, navigation and communication), to life in space and the effects of weightlessness. The book also includes sections describing how an amateur can track satellites and understand their orbital parameters.

Kill the Coronavirus by John Stanley Newell Pdf

Everything in this book should have been taught in school, but no school anywhere teaches this information. Viruses are a naturally occurring phenomenon that are vulnerable to the same naturally occurring substances they have been for billions of years. Viral controls are universal and easy to access. Terrestrial life couldn't exist if this was not true. Viral pandemics only happen if the laws of nature are ignored on a grand scale by the public, by industry and governments and perpetuated by ignorance and corruption. Illness is profitable. Health is not profitable. 'KILL THE CORONAVIRUS' tells you how to protect yourself and your family right now. This is information your government should have made available and didn't. Next it details the process to re-state the human immune system to enable it to combat Covid-19 naturally and properly. In that sense, this book takes a radical holistic strategy using the correct foods and liquids to make us an inhospitable host to Corona Viruses of any description and overall, much healthier. How to convalesce is rarely discussed in medical literature available to the public. It is important to understand. How to use your time wisely to maximize a full recovery. No government has handled this material well at all.

It's Not Rocket Science, You Know by Kenny Snyder Pdf

It's Not Rocket Science, You Know was written by Kenny Snyder as a response to something he noticed while teaching music in Hawaii. Although some students in his theory classes were music majors, they had somehow missed or overlooked the basics of music. Because of this, Kenny began writing some simple ideas down and those turned into this little book about music. Instead of chapters, It's Not Rocket Science, You Know is separated into conversations. Kenny uses a tone of writing that is humorous in order to pull the reader into these conversations. Along the way, he builds on concepts that are universal without making them boring. Each conversation has moments where Kenny encourages the reader to stop, take out their notebook and practice drawing the subject matter at hand. He stresses the importance of learning how to draw notes and staves and symbols. Kenny feels that knowledge is retained at a much higher rate when it is transferred to paper. In addition to humor and conversational writing, Kenny includes hand-drawn pictures and illustrations to keep the ideas moving forward. This personal touch also creates a casual feel to the material.Along the way, Kenny adds some unique concepts normally not found in a beginner music book, such as learning the Nashville Numbers system, how to use a metronome and designing a lead sheet. All in all, It's Not Rocket Science, You Know is a terrific foundational book for both beginner and advanced music students, or for curious onlookers who are thinking about dabbling into music.
