El trabajo de David Morton está profundamente informado por sus extensos viajes y diversas experiencias profesionales. Su viaje a regiones fronterizas devastadas por la guerra, emprendido en solitario, demuestra una dedicación intrépida para capturar la esencia cruda de sus escenarios. Este enfoque inmersivo le permite crear narrativas que son a la vez geográficamente específicas y universalmente resonantes. La perspectiva única de Morton, moldeada por su experiencia en publicidad y un profundo compromiso con lugares desafiantes, da como resultado una escritura que es a la vez perspicaz y cautivadora.
Age of Concrete is about people building homes on tenuous ground in the outer neighborhoods of Maputo, Mozambique, places thought of simply as slums. But up close, they are an archive: houses of reeds, wood, zinc, and concrete embodying the ambitions of people who built their own largest investment and greatest bequest to the future.
The fascinating story and stunning photographs of Newcastle and Tyneside in the 1970s.
In 1831, Charles Darwin, a twenty-two-year-old aspiring naturalist, stepped on board HMS Beagle. Little did he realise that the voyage would last five years, changing not only his own life - but also the history of the entire world. The Wider Earth brings this era-defining adventure to life, from traversing the dizzying heights of the Andes to diving into the depths of the Brazilian rainforest, through weathering the storms of Tierra del Fuego, to exploring the endless wonders of the Galápagos Islands. It's a coming-of-age story about science and faith - of how one inquisitive young man asked a question of Mother Nature, and was set on course to discover the answer to one of the greatest mysteries of life on Earth. - Publisher website
A CREATIVE, FUN, AND EFFECTIVE WAY TO LEARN HUMAN ANATOMY§§More than 200 illustrations§§If you're looking for an interesting and innovative way to learn the various parts and systems of the human body, your search ends here!§§Anatomy Coloring Book for Health Professions is a fresh, fun way for students to grasp the big picture of human anatomy through a regional approach (head and neck and limbs).§§Anatomy Coloring Book for Health Professions is designed for the most effective learning possible:§§The left-hand page features a numerated structure list§The right-hand page has illustrations correlating to the numerated structure list§§Simply choose a color and shade in a term on the left and the correlated structure on the right. Repeat for each structure in the list. White space is provided to enable you to transfer anatomy and clinical information fromyour lecture notes to the appropriate illustration or term. After an illustration is fully colored and notes have been transferred you will have created your ownpersonalized textbook specific to your anatomy course!§§You will find that coloring imprints on your mind the shape and location of each body part, making later visualization much easier. The connection between eye and hand when coloring anatomic structures will prove to be an active and effective way to learn human anatomy.§
Understanding anatomical structures is one thing. Knowing how to dissect them is another. More effectively than any other resource, this user-friendly manual demonstrates how to successfully dissect the trunk, head and neck, pelvis and perineum, and upper and lower extremities. Extensively class tested and reviewed, it is proven to reduce the time you spend in dissection...without skimping on the details that you need to know!Over 400 crisp, detailed line drawings and concise, step-by-step instructions show and tell you exactly where and how to cut and what to look for.Coverage zeroes in on the specific hands-on guidance you need-omitting clinical side notes that might be interesting to read, but are not always what you need in the lab.Page references to Drake et al.: Gray's Anatomy for Students, Netter: Atlas of Human Anatomy, 4th Edition, and Moses et al.: Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy point you towards outstanding visual guidance on anatomical structure and function.STUDENT CONSULT access lets you browse through the complete contents of the book online...review cadaver dissection photographs before going into the lab...test your knowledge with review questions and answers...and follow integration links to related bonus material from Gray's Anatomy for Students, Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy, and other books.
Electronics provides a welcome, comprehensive history of one of the late twentieth century's greatest technologies: electronic devices. Some of them, the laser and the microchip for example, have become household words. Yet their origins and operation are largely unknown to the general public, remaining mysterious outside the field of engineering. Their advent brought about many of the most important historical developments in recent memory―the rise of television, the Cold War, the Space Race, the growth of Asian semiconductor manufacturers, and the emergence of the surveillance society. Electronics also relates the fascinating stories of how scientists and engineers created and commercialized such devices as the transistor, the Magnetron tube used to power microwave ovens, the CRT (cathode ray tube), the laser, the first integrated circuit, the microprocessor, and memory chips.
Morton, so have business strategies, patent battles, and a host of other factors.
