Veterans’ stories of PTSD and TBI anchor this “invaluable volume . . . another important cry for the proper treatment of the nation’s defenders” (Publishers Weekly). In the twenty-first century, the US military has vastly improved its combat medical and medevac capabilities. But even as more soldiers survive the thick of combat, they are returning home with invisible wounds that go tragically untreated. Hidden Battles on Unseen Fronts details the ever-increasing documented cases of physical or mental brain trauma among veterans. The authors share the “harrowing, inspiring stories” of soldiers who came home from Iraq or Afghanistan with life-altering injuries to the brain and psyche, along with their equally dramatic stories of recovery (Publishers Weekly). The chapters are developed from interviews with troops and their family members, and supported with essays by mental health professionals, veterans’ advocates, and members of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense, all of whom are working on the front lines of this national health crisis. All royalties from this work will go directly to the front line of support for wounded warriors with PTSD and TBI and their families.Ver libro

"Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but man needs both." —Fritjof Capra, Ph.D.Their paths to the truth could not be more different—but the amazing thing is that, in their own ways, the mystics and the scientists are discovering the same truths about our world. In non-technical language, with no complex mathematics or formulae, this thought-provoking program explores the main concepts and theories of modern physics, the revelations coming from particle accelerators and laboratories—and compares them with the ancient tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. In the process, we gain a clear and fascinating picture of how such seemingly disparate areas of thought are ultimately quests for the same kind of understanding.Ver libro
In this guide, you will learn about all the basics of artificial intelligence. You’ll learn what it is, how it works, and where it came from (or, in other words, how it all started). Aside from that, we’ll dive into some data analytics and examples of artificial intelligence. We’ll cover several steps in the analytical process, and see what it takes for artificial intelligence to be effective. Last but not least, safety and privacy issues will be brought to light, since today’s age is full of hacking, spying, and theft. Therefore, it is mandatory that these devices and systems are kept safe and secure. If any of these topics interest you, then I encourage you to pick up this digital book and start reading or listening to the audio version.Ver libro
