[tab] [content title="Summary"] Have you ever wondered how the inventions, gadgets, and devices around us actually function? Uncover the hidden mechanisms of everyday technology with this graphic guide. "How Technology Works" demystifies the machinery that powers the modern world, covering everything from simple items like zip fasteners and can openers to advanced devices such as smartwatches, personal digital assistants, and driverless cars. It highlights inventions that have transformed history, like the internal combustion engine, alongside technologies that could be crucial for our future, including solar cells and innovative farming methods to sustain a growing population. Throughout the book, clear step-by-step explanations are paired with original graphics that break down devices to show how they operate. The opening chapter introduces foundational principles applicable to many devices, ranging from basic mechanics to electricity and digital technology. Subsequent sections categorize devices by application—such as home, transport, and computing—making it easy to find related items. "How Technology Works" is ideal for anyone who lacks formal training in STEM subjects or simply wants to satisfy their curiosity about how the modern world functions.

[tab] [content title="Summary"] This book examines the evolution of physical parameterization over the past two to three decades, offering a roadmap for future advancements. It addresses key physical processes such as convection, cloud formation, radiation, land-surface interactions, and the orographic effect. While significant progress has been made in enhancing numerical models for weather and climate predictions globally, several challenging areas remain that require a deeper understanding of physical processes based on observational data. Improving parameterization is crucial, especially as models are increasingly applied at higher horizontal and vertical resolutions. The book promotes discussion on the cloud-resolving approach versus the hybrid method, which combines parameterized convection with grid-scale cloud microphysics, and explores their implications for the intrinsic predictability of models. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers engaged in physical parameterization issues and numerical modeling.

[tab] [content title="Summary"] You know how to code, but is that enough? Do you feel out of place when other programmers discuss asymptotic bounds? Have you ever failed a job interview due to your lack of knowledge in computer science? Volume one covers the most commonly referenced topics, including: - Algorithms and data structures - Graphs - Problem-solving techniques - Complexity theory The author, a senior developer at a leading software company with a PhD in computer science, walks you through what you would have learned while pursuing a four-year computer science degree. By the end of this book, you'll have the tools you need to hold your own with those who have, or expect you to have, a computer science degree. You already know how to program. Don’t let the absence of a degree hold back your career. [/content] [content title="Content"] [/content] [content title="Author(s)"] [/content] [/tab]
