In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

Managing people is difficult wherever you work. But in the tech industry, where management is also a technical discipline, the learning curve can be brutal - especially when there are few tools, texts, and frameworks to help you. In this practical guide, author Camille Fournier (tech lead turned CTO) takes you through each stage in the journey from engineer to technical manager.

For years, companies have rewarded their most effective engineers with management positions. But treating management as the default path for an engineer with leadership ability doesn't serve the industry well—or the engineer. The staff engineer's path allows engineers to contribute at a high level as role models, driving big projects, determining technical strategy, and raising everyone's skills. This in-depth book shows you how to understand your role, manage your time, master strategic thinking, and set the standard for technical work.

Kinder stellen tausend Fragen. Wir Erwachsenen hingegen trauen uns oft nicht mehr, genau nachzufragen. Schließlich müssten wir es ja längst wissen. Bedauerlicherweise werden viele Themen so kompliziert erklärt, dass den meisten von uns schon nach kurzer Beschäftigung damit die Lust am Wissen vergeht. Doch es geht auch anders! Dieses Hörbuch ist für all die wissensdurstigen Menschen produziert worden, die sich nicht damit abfinden wollen, etwas nicht zu verstehen.

Stephen Fry travels into the most remarkable place we know - our brain. The organ of knowledge and the one we know least about. Over 12 episodes Stephen explores just how much we’ve learned about this mysterious structure in recent years and tries to answer some of the most difficult questions that remain. To do this, we relay the discoveries and stories of neuroscientists, psychologists, anthropologists and even philosophers, to add illumination and perspective as we travel. Each episode will be full of brainy stories: some shocking, some thrilling, some scarcely believable.

Clean Architecture is an essential book for every current or aspiring software architect, systems analyst, system designer, and software manager - and for every programmer who must execute someone else’s designs.

xkcd-Fans aufgepasst: Nach "What if?" jetzt der weltoriginellste "Self-Help-Guide" von Randall Munroe! Für jede Aufgabe, die sich uns stellt, gibt es einen richtigen Weg, einen falschen, und einen, der so offensichtlich absurd ist, dass man ihn niemals in Betracht ziehen würde. "How to" ist eine Anleitung zu diesem dritten Ansatz. Es zeigt uns, wie wir digitale Daten versenden, indem wir USB-Sticks an Zugvögeln befestigen. Wie wir unserem Auto Starthilfe geben, indem wir elf Jahre auf eine Sonneneruption warten. Und wir erfahren, wie wir endlich pünktlich zu Verabredungen kommen.

A gripping journey of discovery, The Catalyst moves from the early experiments that first hinted at RNA's spectacular powers, to Cech's own paradigm-shifting finding that it can catalyze cellular reactions, to the cutting-edge biotechnologies poised to reshape our health.

The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge provides basic knowledge that is essential for pilots. This handbook introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training.

This handbook is useful to beginning pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates.

Muss es wirklich immer das Antibiotikum oder die Schmerztablette sein? Oder gibt’s da nicht auch was Natürliches? Im Podcast ist Dr. med. Franziska Rubin, ganzheitliche Ärztin und Bestsellerautorin, im Gespräch mit Moderatorin Sina Peschke und erklärt praxisnah, warum die Natur in vielen Fällen die bessere Heilerin ist. Vor allem in den letzten Jahren haben viele wissenschaftliche Studien gezeigt, wie gut naturheilkundliche Verfahren und auch pflanzliche Mittel wirken: Lavendel hilft beim Schlafen, aber auch gegen Ängste. Kohlwickel wirken ganz ausgezeichnet gegen Knieschmerzen und ...

Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger were friends and comrades-in-arms against what they considered the most preposterous aspects of quantum physics: its indeterminacy. Einstein famously quipped that God does not play dice with the universe, and Schrödinger is equally well known for his thought experiment about the cat in the box who ends up "spread out" in a probabilistic state, neither wholly alive nor wholly dead.

In this absorbing and frequently contentious book, Roger Penrose puts forward his view that there are some facets of human thinking that can never be emulated by a machine. The book's central concern is what philosophers call the "mind-body problem". Penrose examines what physics and mathematics can tell us about how the mind works, what they can't, and what we need to know to understand the physical processes of consciousness.

Too often, Christians appear reluctant to stand up for their beliefs because they feel they lack the expertise to reply when confronted by contrary arguments that refer to scientific information. But in fact, the degree of complexity found in the biology of our own bodies is indicative of a Creator, one who can design amazingly intricate biochemical pathways that are beautifully balanced and seamlessly interwoven.

Whether your interest lies in alternative cosmology, spiritual philosophy, or the intersection of science and metaphysics, this volume bridges those worlds. Walter Russell’s unified model demonstrates how mind and matter are inseparable aspects of one creative intelligence—revealing fresh insights for modern listeners.

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book.
