Free Download W.C. Jameson, "Pat Garrett: The Man Behind the Badge"
English | ISBN: 1630761044 | 2015 | 248 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Pat Garrett, the sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico, claimed responsibility for the death of the notorious outlaw, Billy the Kid. This charge would not be his first lie, nor would it be his last, but it would be, by far, the most prominent. In a departure from the overwhelming literature that takes lawman Pat Garrett’s story-that he killed The Kid in a happenstance meeting in an isolated cabin-as historical truth, W.C. Jameson presents evidence to the contrary.

One of America’s leading curators, "a woman of resilience and vision, a writer of clarity and ardor" (Chicago Tribune), takes you on a personal tour of the world of modern art.One of America’s leading curators, "a woman of resilience and vision, a writer of clarity and ardor" (Chicago Tribune), takes you on a personal tour of the world of modern art. In the Depression-era climate of the 1930s, Katharine Kuh defied the odds and opened a gallery in Chicago, where she exhibited such relatively unknown artists as Fernand Léger, Paul Klee, Joan Miró, Ansel Adams, Marc Chagall, and Alexander Calder. Her extraordinary story reveals how and why America became a major force in the world of contemporary art. 59

Free Download Demetris Nicolaides, "In Search of a Theory of Everything: The Philosophy Behind Physics"
English | ISBN: 019009835X | 2020 | 186 pages | AZW3 | 2 MB
In Search of a Theory of Everything takes readers on an adventurous journey through space and time on a quest for a unified "theory of everything" by means of a rare and agile interplay between the natural philosophies of influential ancient Greek thinkers and the laws of modern physics. By narrating a history and a philosophy of science, theoretical physicist Demetris Nicolaides logically connects great feats of critical mind and unbridled human imagination in their ambitious quest for the theory that will ultimately explain all the phenomena of nature via a single immutable overarching law.

Free Download Michael Hutchinson, "Faster: The Obsession, Science and Luck Behind the World’s Fastest Cyclists"
English | ISBN: 1408837773 | 2015 | pages | AZW3 | 357 KB
For professional cyclists, going faster and winning are, of course, closely related. Yet surprisingly, for many, a desire to go faster is much more important than a desire to win. Someone who wants to go faster will work at the details and take small steps rather than focusing on winning. Winning just happens when you do everything right – it’s the doing everything right that’s hard. And that’s what fascinates and obsesses Michael Hutchinson.

Free Download The Physics Behind Electronics
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031554590 | 427 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 61 MB
This book is not simply about electronics but rather a thorough exploration of physics. Instead of isolating electronics as an art, its primary goal is to explain the physical principles behind electronic circuits and how they are applied practically. Electronics provides a framework for understanding physics, and vice versa.

Free Download Negotiation Neuroscience: The Brain Science Behind Business Deals
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031697537 | 199 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB

Free Download Design Behind Interaction: Interfaces, Technology, Meanings
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031674154 | 110 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB
This book investigates how digital transformation and technological innovations are challenging traditional design paradigms and redefining the conception of interfaces, suggesting a future where interfaces seamlessly integrate into or disappear within smart objects. Through the lens of Thingk, a university spin-off of the Politecnico di Milano, it addresses the practical application of theoretical design research in creating objects that, while analog in appearance, are technologically augmented, embracing a multidisciplinary approach that includes product design, communication, and interaction design. Covering an eight-year span of experimental design and analysis, it dives into how smart objects leverage context-awareness and situated meanings, engaging users from research and co-creation to validation. The significance of this book lies in its comprehensive analysis and insights into the design process behind such objects, underscoring the need for thorough examination of how semantic reconfigurations impact on affordances and agency. With a strong emphasis on a research-through-design approach and case studies, it bridges theoretical inquiry with practical applications, offering insights into the potentials of design-driven innovation in evolving user experiences.

Free Download The Emerging Quantum The Physics Behind Quantum Mechanics by Luis de la Peña , Ana María Cetto , Andrea Valdés Hernández
English | PDF (True) | 2015 | 371 Pages | ISBN : 3319078925 | 4.9 MB
This monograph presents the latest findings from a long-term research project intended to identify the physics behind Quantum Mechanics. A fundamental theory for quantum mechanics is constructed from first physical principles, revealing quantization as an emergent phenomenon arising from a deeper stochastic process. As such, it offers the vibrant community working on the foundations of quantum mechanics an alternative contribution open to discussion. The book starts with a critical summary of the main conceptual problems that still beset quantum mechanics. The basic consideration is then introduced that any material system is an open system in permanent contact with the random zero-point radiation field, with which it may reach a state of equilibrium. Working from this basis, a comprehensive and self-consistent theoretical framework is then developed. The pillars of the quantum-mechanical formalism are derived, as well as the radiative corrections of nonrelativistic QED, while revealing the underlying physical mechanisms. The genesis of some of the central features of quantum theory is elucidated, such as atomic stability, the spin of the electron, quantum fluctuations, quantum nonlocality and entanglement. The theory developed here reaffirms fundamental scientific principles such as realism, causality, locality and objectivity.
