Showing results for "Architecture" in Science & Engineering

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of software architecture’s many aspects. Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics. Mark Richards and Neal Ford—hands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for years—focus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks.

Over more than five decades, legendary architect Moshe Safdie has built some of the world's most influential and memorable structures. Safdie always refers to the "silent client" an architect must ultimately serve: the people who live in, work in, or experience a building. If Walls Could Speak takes listeners behind the veil of an essential yet mysterious profession to explain through Safdie's own experiences how an architect thinks and works.

Reality is not what it seems. Not fixed. Not silent. Not separate from the one who observes it. Quantum experiments reveal seams in the world… places where information appears without traveling… where outcomes wait for attention… where time behaves like something far more flexible than a river. These seams form a doorway. A narrow line where darkness gives way to light… where the familiar dissolves into the possible… where a question becomes the beginning of understanding. This book does not claim answers. It offers a key. If you have ever sensed something beneath the surface… Step closer.

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. 

Information architecture (IA) is far more challenging - and necessary - than ever. To guide you through this broad ecosystem, this popular guide - now in its fourth edition - provides essential concepts, methods, and techniques for digital design that have withstood the test of time. UX designers, product managers, developers, and anyone involved in digital design will learn how to create semantic structures that will help people engage with your message.

As the CEO, board member, and executive of an architecture, engineering, and construction company, you are under pressure to lead your company in the age of AI disruption. Not knowing AI’s impact on your business and how you should respond is challenging.

Technology has gradually transitioned from wired to wireless over the years with tons of benefits. From the internet of things to wireless communication, we are all witnesses of the huge benefits of wireless technologies. This audiobook covers various subjects and highlights both the benefits and challenges of wireless technologies.

Walter Tschinkel has spent much of his career investigating the hidden subterranean realm of ant nests. This book takes you inside an unseen world where thousands of ants build intricate homes in the soil beneath our feet. Tschinkel describes the ingenious methods he has devised to study ant nests, showing how he fills a nest with plaster, molten metal, or wax and painstakingly excavates the cast. 

In a time of climate crisis and housing shortages, a bold, visionary call to replace current wasteful construction practices with an architecture of reuse As climate change has escalated into a crisis, the reuse of existing structures is the only way to even begin to preserve our wood, sand...

As a manager or executive working in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, you’re under pressure to do more with less, reduce waste, produce faster, and still turn a profit.

Ninety-five percent of the universe is invisible. Dark matter holds galaxies together; dark energy tears space apart. For a quarter of a century, these two phenomena have been treated as separate mysteries—independent entries in the cosmic ledger, unrelated in origin and opposite in effect. This book argues that they are the same mystery. Drawing on quantum field theory, general relativity, and a systems-theoretic perspective that spans disciplines, Boris Kriger proposes that the energy of empty space is not uniform.

Mental Architecture explores the true nature of reality and brain-based experience in a dynamic and diverse world. We unravel the mysteries behind your conscious mind, including the tendency to see faces in inanimate objects, the subjective nature of time perception, and the significant limitations mathematical models and measurement systems impose in accurately describing the world around us. 

Creativity Engineered reframes creativity as the master key for adaptation and renewal. Grounded in up-to-date insights from neuroscience, psychology, design, and ethics, it shows that creativity isn’t an accident of genius—it’s a disciplined, trainable system anyone can build and apply. This book pairs clear, research-literate explanation with actionable frameworks for working with (not against) uncertainty—and for collaborating wisely with AI.

Cloud computing has transformed the way we think about technology infrastructure and application deployment. The benefits of cloud computing, such as scalability, cost savings, and flexibility, have made it a popular choice for organizations of all sizes. This book aims to provide an in-depth understanding of cloud computing architecture, covering the core concepts, principles, and best practices. It will help you gain a comprehensive understanding of cloud computing, from the basics of virtualization to advanced topics such as cloud-native architecture, AI, and edge computing.

This book examines neuroplasticity without illusion and without despair. Against the popular belief that the brain can be endlessly reshaped by will alone, and against the opposing conviction that it is largely fixed and unchangeable, Neuroplasticity: Limits and the Architecture of Change offers a sober, philosophically grounded account of how the brain truly adapts. Plasticity is presented not as a miracle solution nor as a closed door, but as a fragile, conditional capacity—real, powerful, and constrained.

Neurotenacity is the intrinsic capacity of nervous system cells, particularly neurons, to sustain biological survival, structural integrity, and functional persistence over extended periods despite aging, physiological stress, injury, and the progressive forces of biological entropy. neurotenacity.com

What if the greatest obstacle to knowledge lies not in the world but in ourselves? Four centuries ago, Francis Bacon revolutionized human thought by identifying the “idols of the mind”—systematic biases that distort our understanding. Today, modern science has confirmed his insights with mathematical precision: the structure of our assumptions determines what we can know, often more fundamentally than the evidence we gather or the intelligence we apply.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. SOUL MECHANICS is a contemplative cosmology that begins with a single crack in the physical world: the one thing science has never explained — why there is any experience at all — and follows that crack all the way down. Across thirteen chapters, it...

This book was curated by the State Federation of Pennsylvania Women for tourists' use on a journey to Pennsylvania. Each of Pennsylvania's 67 counties has its own chapter, discussing beautiful art and buildings that may be found there (or, in lieu of art, pioneer history). These chapters were each written by a knowledgeable person from that county. While details are often sparse, the guide is an excellent starting point for individuals who wish to learn more about local history of Pennsylvania. Note: While the book was compiled in 1917, the first world war prevented its publication until 1924....
