The Prenatal Prescription

Peter Nathanielsz, Christopher Vaughan

Summary

Did you know that your actions during pregnancy impact your child's health after birth and into adulthood? That what you eat, how much you exercise, your stress level, and your immediate environment are all key factors in determining your baby's predisposition to such conditions as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke, cancer, even depression? Based on more than thirty years of rigorous scientific research, Dr. Nathanielsz's The Prenatal Prescription explains why this is so and what you can do about it.Focusing on the main factors that directly affect the unborn child -- nutrition, stress, toxins, and exercise -- Dr. Nathanielsz lays out a clear and easy-to-follow program for "prenatal programming." He explains the science behind the fetal origins of adult disease, and offers tools that you can use to make your prenatal interaction with your baby memorable and beneficial.Starting before conception, this simple prescription will change forever the way you think about preparing yourself for pregnancy. All parents want a long and healthy life for their child. The Prenatal Prescription explains how to make this a reality.

Python Machine Learning for...

Alex Campbell

Have you thought about a career in data science? It's where the money is right now, and it's only going to become more widespread as the world evolves. Machine learning is a big part of data science, and for those that already have experience in programming, it's the next logical step. 
Machine learning is a subsection of AI, or Artificial Intelligence, and computer science, using data and algorithms to imitate human thinking and learning. Through constant learning, machine learning gradually improves its accuracy, eventually providing the optimal results for the problem it has been assigned to. 
It is one of the most important parts of data science and, as big data continues to expand, so too will the need for machine learning and AI. 
Here's what you will learn in this quick guide to machine learning with Python for beginners:What machine learning isWhy Python is the best computer programming language for machine learningThe different types of machine learningHow linear regression worksThe different types of classificationHow to use SVMs (Support Vector Machines) with Scikit-LearnHow Decision Trees work with ClassificationHow K-Nearest Neighbors worksHow to find patterns in data with unsupervised learning algorithms 
You will also find plenty of code examples to help you understand how everything works.

The Fresh and the Salt - The...

Ann Lingard

“Beautiful, intensely visual prose, born from deep intimacy with subtle borderlands: land and sea, England and Scotland, people and environments.” —David Gange, author of The Frayed Atlantic Edge 
 
Firths and estuaries are liminal places, where land meets sea and tides meet freshwater. Their unique ecosystems support a huge range of marine and other wildlife: human activity too is profoundly influenced by their waters and shores. 
 
The Solway Firth—the crooked finger of water that both unites and divides Scotland and England—is a beautiful yet unpredictable place and one of the least-industrialized natural large estuaries in Europe. Its history, geology and turbulent character have long affected the way its inhabitants, both human and non-human, have learnt to live along and within its ever-changing margins. 
 
“Lingard’s scientific knowledge of the area and its multitudinous inhabitants [is] delivered in riveting prose. This is deep and beautiful natural history writing.” —BBC Countryfile Magazine 
 
 
 
“Like a hungry gull, Ann Lingard explores her beloved Solway shoreline for every living detail that catches her eye. In so doing she has created a portrait of this nation-cleaving water that is as broad and deep as the estuary itself.” —Mark Cocker, author of Birds & People 
 
“A kaleidoscopic portrait of the borders of the land.” —Cumbria Life 
 
“Lingard writes vividly about this estuary . . . an excellent point of reference for locals, visitors and for those simply intrigued by this lesser-known corner of Scotland.” —Scottish Field

Java - 3 books in 1 : Java...

Andy Vickler

This book is a compilation of 3 books :Java Basics for BeginnersJava Front End ProgrammingJava Back End Programming
Simplicity sets this book apart from all the others. This book contains proven strategies to learn Java programming in a short time. The market is replete with Java books, but the problem is that they are written in a complex and difficult to understand manner. In this book, you’ll be able to easily understand each line of code with added explanations and comments for each code.
Unlike many other authors, I have taken great care in producing the codes, ensuring they are all functional. However, you need to install the Eclipse compiler and configure it before practicing the codes.
Coding is a fun and productive activity if you are not just reading it. I encourage you to take the code samples in the book, edit them per your choice, and run them in a compiler to see what output you can produce after the changes to the code. The more you do the edits, the better you will be at coding in Java Swing. This is one of the best languages to do front-end programming. You will enjoy it when you start producing the results of your choice.
Are you interested in learning the ins and outs of backend development? Have you learned the basics of the Java computer programming language and want to take your learning further? Then you've picked up the right guide.
Backend programming is not the easiest, nor is it the hardest part of developing a web application. However, it is an incredibly satisfying part. Backend development is all about making a web application work; it's the ins and outs of the server-side of the application, what the user sees, how they can interact with it, and much more.
