Títulos em Ciências e Engenharia

A ciência, cada vez mais, tem questionado e refutado o senso comum e as crenças que a humanidade vem acumulando ao longo das gerações. Diante desse conflito entre as experiências subjetivas e as evidências científicas, é comum indagar: afinal, o que é ciência? Como ela funciona? Para que serve? O que diferencia ciência de pseudociência? Como a ciência é impactada pelas fake news e pela desinformação?

This book explains why events in the world cannot always be understood as the result of separate things influencing one another locally. Starting from a well-established result in modern physics, it shows that some correlations observed in nature cannot be explained by assuming that each object carries its own independent properties and that all influence spreads step by step through space. The book examines the theorem that establishes this limit and the experiments that confirm it.

Below the waves, the ocean remains a largely undiscovered realm, with only 25% of its features mapped in detail. What we know about its depths, we've learned with the help of deep-sea robots. World-renowned robotics expert James Bellingham introduces listeners to this compelling world of contemporary undersea exploration and the vital role autonomous robots play in corporate and governmental aquaculture management, climate data, energy source locations, shipwreck explorations, and much more.

Jonathan Black shows that from Marie Curie to today's architects of AI, many of our greatest scientists have been guided by secret, mystical and 'higher' teachings towards an understanding of the universe familiar to the builders of the pyramids of Giza or the Temple at Jerusalem. He explores how these discoveries, foreshadowed and paralleled by geniuses including Carl Gustav Jung and Hilma af Klint, raise deep and urgent questions about our understanding of the universe. Is the material universe we perceive with our senses an illusion? Is a higher intelligence directing it?

It's in every photo you post to Instagram, every Google search you make and every prompt you give to ChatGPT . . . Big Math - the branch of modern mathematics behind our digital revolution - operates under the hood of these everyday miracles, driving the biggest shifts in how we shop...

Why does mathematics—a creation of the human mind—describe the physical world with such extraordinary precision? Why do equations invented for one purpose turn out, decades or centuries later, to be the perfect language for a completely different realm of nature? In 1960, the Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner called this correspondence a 'gift we neither understand nor deserve.' The question has haunted science ever since. In this book, Boris Kriger proposes an answer that is at once simple and profound: mathematics describes the world because only the mathematically structured survives.

Measuring distances in the Universe is one of the most demanding intellectual achievements in the history of science. The objects studied by astronomy are separated from us by such vast expanses that no direct measurement is possible. Every number describing the scale of the cosmos must therefore be inferred indirectly, through light, motion, geometry, and carefully constructed physical models.

What if every relationship followed the same simple structure—and you just never learned how to see it? In The CATR Theory™: The 4 Legs of Successful Personal and Professional Relationships. It’s NOT Rocket Science! (CATR: pronounced “cater”), Laurie Thibert introduces a framework that quietly explains why some relationships thrive while others fracture.

As climate action accelerates, carbon credits have become one of the most powerful tools for reducing global emissions. Yet few truly understand how these markets work. Understanding Carbon Credits breaks down the science, systems, and strategies behind carbon crediting in a way that’s clear, actionable, and insightful.

In an era dominated by digital technology, we have long assumed that our devices—smartphones, computers, and networks—operate on the solid ground of classical physics. Yet the truth is far more profound: modern microelectronics has always rested on quantum foundations. Boris Kriger reveals how quantum mechanics quietly shaped the transistor from its inception, how effects like tunneling, interference, and decoherence were not later intrusions but essential enablers of function.

Over 2 million people are employed throughout the construction industry. Whether you’re toiling with concrete, sweeping with a broom or core drilling through a wall, you might want to take the next step into management at some point in your career.

Beyond the Lab Coats blends science, storytelling, and self-discovery as José and Yelena Barbosa pull back the curtain on the food, beverage, and supplement industries while sharing the personal, corporate, and cultural lessons earned along the way. From humble beginnings marked by uncertainty to leading R&D teams for world-class brands, the authors explore the rigorous science of formulation, the politics of innovation, the missteps that become turning points, and the humor found everywhere in between.

Our understanding of diseases have dramatically changed over human history. Early civilisations believed health and disease were directly caused by the gods. This is why priests and priestesses were also healers and doctors. The ancient Greeks introduced the four humours theory, namely that the body was composed of four fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Disease and illness were caused by imbalances. Treatment was to rebalance these fluids.

Traditionally driven by systems and data, UK manufacturing is now hungry to transform. As it seeks to attract, retain, and grow the best talent, the role of the People Person has never been more essential. Heart of Steel offers a rare and vital guide for people-persons who know they bring something manufacturing desperately needs.

Dies ist nicht nur ein weiteres Lehrbuch über Anatomie und Physiologie. Es handelt sich um ein umfassendes Lernsystem, das Ihnen dabei hilft, anatomische Strukturen, physiologische Prozesse und klinische Anwendungen für die Pflege und medizinische Praxis zu erlernen und zu behalten.

What if the world you see isn't the world that truly exists? In what's really going on in the universe?, Brian Perez takes listeners on a bold exploration of consciousness, frequency, light, sound, and the unseen layers of reality that may surround us at all times. Blending metaphysics, modern physics, ancient wisdom and personal insight, the audiobook, examines questions of humanity has asked for centuries: is reality constructed? Is consciousness fundamental? Are we limited by our senses? And what might exist just beyond our perception?

Quando si parla di cibo le nostre scelte sono spesso influenzate da convinzioni che si basano sul fantomatico "sentito dire", sul "a casa mia si è sempre fatto così", o sul bombardamento mediatico della pubblicità o della scienza da bar. Provate a pensarci: quante delle nostre abitudini nel campo dell'alimentazione sono motivate da informazioni attendibili? Troppo poche!

Resto-Rat® on Budget Restoration provides a candid look into the reality of classic vehicle restoration. Drawing on fifty years of hands-on experience and over 13,000 hours of meticulously documented labor across 33 projects, Wilson dismantles the myth of the “budget” restoration. He warns enthusiasts that resurrecting vintage automobiles demands substantial time, funding, and specialized skills, often exceeding the finished vehicle's market value.
