Not much literature exists on QR (Quick Response) Codes and their applications in the emerging digital society, making this foundational text very important to the field of technology. It spells out their “pros” and “cons”, providing potential challenges to their emergence.
The Evolution of the Net
This book describes the evolution of the Net for nonspecialists. It explains the infrastructure’s journey from the network transmission of Telephony, the medium of the 20th century, to the knowledge navigation of Telesophy, the future medium for moving from data to wisdom.
This book covers the composition, production, testing methods, and application of modern cellulose fibre cement boards (FCB). It explores fabrication, testing procedures, and practical applications illustrated with examples. Valuable for researchers, architects, and engineers.
The Finance Sector and Climate Change
While fossil fuel interests are blamed for thwarting climate policy, this book shows the financial sector’s influence is greater. It funds a ‘climate crisis’ narrative to serve its investments in renewables, imposing restrictions that harm the developing world, as revealed here.
The Floating Towns of Tomorrow
As climate change and population growth challenge our world, floating cities offer a solution. This book proposes viable urban planning and architectural solutions for coastal cities, starting with a pilot project in Singapore. For all who wish to rethink our cities.
The “Ultraviolet Catastrophe”, the failure to account for black-body radiation, led to quantum mechanics. Another catastrophe was politely ignored and fluid dynamics remained trapped in the nineteenth century. The book outlines a solution to this dilemma.
Semiconductor silicon is the basic material of modern electronics. Its properties are determined by defects in its crystal structure, but a complete description of these defects has been a mystery—until now. This book solves it using classical and probabilistic approaches.
Over the past 60 years, optics has changed radically. The invention of the laser led to new branches of the field. This work unites traditional and modern optics into a single theory, using modern mathematical tools and a heuristic approach.
The Fundamental Principles of Physics
This book provides a precise idea of what an atom or molecule is using quantum theory. To overcome student comprehension difficulties, it insists on the importance of underlying physical principles, such as particle-wave duality, indeterminism, and presence probability.
From energy and electronics to medicine, oxide materials are essential. This book presents the fundamentals of oxide powders, establishing a connection between their structure and electromagnetic properties to pave the way for new technological and biomedical applications.
This textbook presents the foundations of electrochemistry, necessary to understand chemical power sources like batteries, hydrogen production, and corrosion protection. It is a systematic presentation from theory to practice, outlining concepts, formulas, and research methods.
This textbook is an introduction to modern physical chemistry, with an emphasis on the core ideas of the science. Concise yet rigorous, it provides sufficient material to solve key problems. For students, researchers, and professionals in chemistry, physics, and engineering.
Mathematical logic is grounded on false assumptions that have impoverished knowledge. This book’s “contrastive theory of rationality” shows a better way to ground logic, resolving its foundational crisis and altering its future, with enormous implications for knowledge.
The Future of Post-Human Organization
This book challenges the obsessive craze for organizational performance, exploring its dark sides. It provides an alternative way to understand organizations—in relation to communication, decision-making, and leadership—to radically change how we think.
The Future of Post-Human Performing Arts
This book offers a new transdisciplinary theory of performing arts to go beyond existing traditions. This seminal project will fundamentally change how we think about the arts from the combined perspectives of the mind, society, and culture.
The General Theory of Particle Mechanics
Yefremov provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, demonstrating that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium.
This illustrated guide explores moiré patterns in 1D, 2D, 3D, and time. Learn to identify, distinguish, evaluate, and control the moiré effect, and to use it in modern technologies.
This book proposes a model of the global carbon cycle linking the Earth’s crust and the biosphere. It shows how periodic carbon dioxide injections from colliding tectonic plates control photosynthesis, explaining mass extinctions, “explosions of life,” and oil distribution.
This collection of essays addresses pivotal problems about our planet’s environment and ecology. It highlights the inter-relation of science, philosophy, ethics, and religion, concluding with an ethical analysis of the overlapping challenges that require urgent attention.
The Great 1976 Tangshan Earthquake
In 1975, China predicted the Haicheng earthquake, saving thousands. Eighteen months later, jubilation turned to despair when the unpredicted Tangshan quake killed over 250,000. This book explores this epic success and failure and offers a viable future for earthquake prediction.
