A definitive biography of a remarkable man and a brilliant scientist. Scarcely able to move or speak as a result of motor-neuron disease, Hawking has vastly expanded our scientific knowledge and made his discoveries accessible to the layperson in his bestselling book A Brief History of Time. Stephen Hawking is perhaps the most famous scientist since Einstein. Although his body is confined to a wheelchair, his brilliant work on black holes, the Big Bang, and quantum cosmology has already guaranteed his reputation as a towering figure in modern physics. This superb biography interweaves the events of Hawking's life with concise and cogent explanations of the theories that have brought us breathtakingly close to piercing the ultimate mysteries of time, space, and matter. It tells the story of Hawking's days at Oxford and of the early warning signs of the terrible disease that has made him dependent on a voice synthesizer to communicate his epochal discoveries. It shows us his emergence as the hugely successful author of the best-selling A Brief History of Time, an unexpected triumph that saved him from a financial “black hole” and brought him worldwide celebrity. And it describes the dissolution of his marriage of many years. Revealing yet ultimately admiring, Stephen Hawking is a master portrait of the man who is destined to be remembered as the most important scientist of the modern era.

In the post-1945 era, the aircraft carrier has remained a valued weapon despite the development of nuclear weapons, cruise and ballistic missiles, and highly capable submarines. At times, as in the early days of the Korean and Vietnam Wars and in the Falklands conflict, carriers alone could deploy high- performance aircraft to the battlefield.

Focusing on the practical application of narrative therapy, this book presents detailed accounts of five key areas: re-authoring conversations, remembering conversations, scaffolding conversations, definitional ceremony, and externalizing conversations. It features transcripts, commentary, and skills training exercises to enhance understanding and application in therapeutic settings. With diagrammatic charts outlining these conversations, the book serves as a valuable resource for both seasoned practitioners and newcomers, reinforcing the therapeutic potential of narrative practice.

Unlike some guides that give you just the basics that you need to get started, this book teaches you everything you need to know about using Python including what you can use it for. Python is a diverse language and is the foundation of much of what we use in the world today. Most data applications, many websites and machine learning are all powered by Python and you'll be pleased to learn that it really isn't difficult to learn. The book is divided into five sections to make it easier for the reader: Part 1 - Data Structures and Algorithms Part 2 - Machine Learning Part 3 - Django Part 4 - ArcGIS Programming Part 5 - Software Development and Testing

A biography of Isaac Newton which challenges the traditionally held portrait of him as the first modern scientist and reveals his interest in alchemy and magic, presenting an alternative view of him as a sorcerer. Originally published in 1997.

Despite incredible political, military, and intelligence risks, and after six years of secret preparations, the CIA attempted to salvage the sunken Soviet ballistic missile submarine K-129 from the depths of the North Pacific Ocean in early August 1974. This audacious effort was carried out under the cover of an undersea mining operation sponsored by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes. "Azorian"--Incorrectly identified as Project Jennifer by the press-- was the most ambitious ocean engineering endeavor ever attempted and can be compared to the 1969 moon landing for its level of technological ac.

Use of letter-writing in family therapy. White and Epston base their therapy on the assumption that people experience problems when the stories of their lives, as they or others have invented them, do not sufficiently represent their lived experience. Therapy then becomes a process of storying or restorying the lives and experiences of these people. In this way narrative comes to play a central role in therapy. Both authors share delightful examples of a storied therapy that privileges a person’s lived experience, inviting a reflexive posture and encouraging a sense of authorship and reauthorship of one’s experiences and relationships in the telling and retelling of one’s story.

Imagined by one of the world's foremost Newton scholars, this fictionalized conversation presents the essential biography of one of the greatest scientific minds of all time
