  The universe, in all its vastness, is a mysterious and awe-inspiring expanse that has captivated humanity for centuries. Our understanding of the cosmos has evolved significantly, from ancient mythologies to modern scientific theories. At the heart of this understanding lies the concept of cosmic expansion, a phenomenon that has reshaped our view of the universe and its origins. 
  The story of the universe begins with the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This singular event marked the beginning of time, space, and matter. Before the Big Bang, there was no space or time as we understand them, and all the matter in the universe was concentrated in an infinitesimally small point. The Big Bang was not an explosion in space but rather an expansion of space itself, setting into motion the vast universe we see today. 
  As the universe expanded, it cooled, and matter began to form into the stars, galaxies, and other cosmic structures. Initially, this expansion occurred at a rapid rate, but over time, it slowed down due to gravitational forces pulling matter together. For much of the universe's history, this expansion followed a predictable pattern. However, about 5 billion years ago, something extraordinary happened. The expansion of the universe began to accelerate, a discovery that fundamentally changed our understanding of cosmic evolution.

  Sample Key Takeaways: 
  1) A system isn't just a collection of random items. Rather, it is a collection of interconnected elements that are organized in a way that accomplishes a goal. A system has three core constituents: elements, interconnections, and a function or purpose.  
  2) A system is greater than the sum of its parts. It may behave in ways that are adaptive, dynamic, goal-oriented, self-preserving, and even evolutionary.

  Are you looking to teach children how to code? Or are you looking to start coding? 
  This book on beginner html and JavaScript is the answer. 
  For the last couple of years, the news keeps talking about the digital economy and how everyone needs programmers. It seems like everyone wants to learn how to code. However, it is not that easy. Coding is a skill; and like any skill it takes time to learn. Like any skill, the younger you start; the better you get. 
  From my personal experience with coding and also with teaching young kids how to code, let me tell you that coding is a lot of fun and extremely gratifying. 
  It teaches you how to organize, think logically, communicate, work in teams and be more creative. 
  However, programming can be hard to learn. Especially if you start reading advanced books. You need a step-by-step guide to get started. This book starts off with the very basics; how to install the software, set up and write your first lines of code. There are exercises at the end of each chapter that can test your new found knowledge and move you ahead. 
  And then, we get you a few more advanced skills that can get you started making websites. 
  Even if you've never touched a computer in your life, you will find this book useful.

  Witnessing the growing division in our communities, cities, and country is heartbreaking. Our worlds feel ripped apart, and we all know the pain of feeling separated. 
  While we universally agree on the need to bridge our divides, our calls for unity often intensify our differences instead of healing them. One significant reason is the irresponsible use of science. Its misuse, abuse, and overuse have deepened our divides. 
  This book begins with accessible chapters on the fundamentals of scientific tools, gradually progressing to discuss their abuse in the most contentious debates of our time, including global warming, COVID-19, Big Pharma, abortion, and gender fluidity. 
  After reading, you'll gain the ability to critically assess scientific claims in the news and engage in debates where science is misrepresented. Join me on this journey to unravel the misuse and limits of science and take a transformative step toward healing our divide.

  CERN and the Higgs Boson - The...

  The Higgs boson is the rock star of fundamental particles, catapulting CERN, the laboratory where it was found, into global spotlight. But what is it, why does it matter, and what exactly is CERN? In the late 1940s, a handful of visionaries were working to steer Europe towards a more peaceful future through science, and CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, was duly born. James Gillies tells the gripping story of particle physics, from the original atomists of ancient Greece through the people who made the crucial breakthroughs to CERN itself, one of the most ambitious scientific undertakings of our time, and its eventual confirmation of the Higgs boson. Weaving together the scientific and political stories of CERN's development, this book reveals how particle physics has evolved from being the realm of solitary genius to a global field of human endeavor, with CERN's Large Hadron Collider as its frontier research tool.
