'Combines science with journalism to weave a captivating account of the most extraordinary objects in the universe: black holes. A superior account.' Marcus Chown 'Facing Infinity is an especially attractive introduction to a wonderfully attractive subject.' Frank Wilczek From the 18th century vicar who was the first to look up at the night's sky and suggest there was something very dark and extraordinarily heavy that was moving the stars, to the first actual photograph of a black hole, 250 years later, Jonas Enander has travelled the world, visited telescopes and observatories, interviewed world-leading space researchers, and delved deep into the archives to investigate how our relationship with black holes has changed over time. Throughout this journey, Enander explores how our desire to answer the question of the origin of the universe inadvertently led to the invention of WiFi and the calibration of GPS; how our looking outward gave us critical evidence of our impact on climate change that could be the key to the future of all humanity and how colonialism sparked the race for discovery, affecting those most vulnerable, creating a ripple effect being felt to this day. Discover how black holes work, where they come from, and what role they play in the universe. How is it even possible to know that we are on a 230 million year journey around the Milky Way with an enormous black hole at its centre? How is it possible to determine that this black hole has a mass equivalent to four million suns? What happens when black holes collide? Are we living in a black hole? And how do we even know any of this? Based on interviews with over 20 leading black hole researchers, including several Nobel Laureates, Facing Infinity deciphers the most mind-bending science whilst retaining a sense of wonder, in an approachable and spellbinding journey into the universe's greatest mysteries.

Chris Anderson's initial `Long Tail' analysis was released in 2004 just as the wave of mergers and acquisitions was sweeping the music publishing and radio industries. Music industry executives began looking for Anderson’s ‘Long Tail’ effect and with it the implied redistribution of royalty income from popular songs to long dormant and forgotten works in their catalogs. These music publishers had hoped to further maximize the value of their copyright assets (lyrics and melody) in their existing music catalogs as the sale of compact disks diminished, and consumers switched their purchasing and listening habits to new digital formats in music technology such as the iPod. This book deals with the measurement of skewness, heavy tails and asymmetry in performance royalty income data in the music industry, an area that has received very little academic attention for various reasons. For example, the pay packages, including signing bonuses, of some `superstars' in the sports world are often announced when they join a team. In the art world, the value of an artist's work is sometimes revealed when the work is sold at auction. The main reason it is difficult to study art and culture from a royalty income perspective is that most of the income data at the individual level is often proprietary, and generally not made publicly available for economic analysis. As a Senior Economist for the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) using both internal and licensed external proprietary data, the author found that the so-called `superstar effects' are still present in performance royalty income. Success is still concentrated on a relatively few copyright holders or members who can be grouped into `heavy tails' of the empirical income distribution in a departure from Anderson's `long tail' analysis. This book is divided into two parts. The first part is a general introduction to the many supply and demand economic factors that are related to music performance royalty payments. The second part is an applied econometrics section that provides modeling and in-depth analysis of income data from a songwriter, music publisher and blanket licensing perspective. In an era of declining income from CD album sales, data collection, mining and analysis are becoming increasingly important in terms of understanding the listening, buying and music use habits of consumers. The economic impact on songwriters, publishers, music listeners, and Performance Rights Organizations (PROs) is discussed and future business models are evaluated. The book will appeal to researchers and students in cultural economics, media and statistics as well as general readers and professionals in the music publishing industry.

Into the city of Tel Aviv the whirlwinds come, and nothing will ever be the same. Through a city torn apart by a violence they cannot comprehend, three disparate people — a documentary film-maker, a yeshiva student, and a psychotic fireman — must try to survive, and try to find meaning: even if it means being lost themselves. As Tel Aviv is consumed, a strange mountain rises at the heart of the city, and shows the outline of what may be another, alien world beyond. Can there be redemption there? Can the fevered rumours of a coming messiah be true? A potent mixture of biblical allusions, Lovecraftian echoes, and contemporary culture, The Tel Aviv Dossier is part supernatural thriller, part meditation on the nature of belief — an original and involving novel painted on a vast canvas in which, beneath the despair, humour is never absent. Experience the last days of Tel Aviv. Praise for The Tel Aviv Dossier "The weird and unsettling Lovecraftian bits? On a scale of one to ten, those are cranked up to about twelve. This book is very, very strange, which means it's a great read!" — Little Red Reviewer "One word review: fun! This novel is insane. It is an often pessimistic mosaic of modern Israeli culture, society, and beliefs. It captures moments of clarity and meaning while examining what happens when our mundane reality butts up against an absurd apocalyptic event. (6 out of 6 He'Brew: The Chosen Beer)" — Southern Fried Weirdo "A deranged sci-fi extravaganza... a neo-Gnostic apocalypse narrative for the iPod generation." — The Jewish Quarterly

Ha llegado el libro que estaba esperando: conozca Arduino a través de múltiples prácticas ordenadas por nivel de dificultad. En esta segunda edición se ahonda en el desarrollo de muchas de las prácticas expuestas en la primera edición del libro, pero se emplea el novedoso Arduino MKR 1010. Mucho más potente y dotado de un módulo de conexión WiFi, Arduino MKR 1010 le permitirá adentrarse en el mundo del internet de las cosas (IoT). Asimismo, en esta guía de autoaprendizaje se presentan nuevas herramientas de desarrollo hardware, como el sistema Grove, que evita el cableado de componentes, y los "bricks", el método revolucionario en el terreno educativo de la electrónica. En cuanto al software, se muestran las plataformas IoT más relevantes en la actualidad. ThingSpeak, Adafruit IO o Blynk integran los valores captados por diferentes sensores a través de Arduino 1010 para mostrarlos ordenada y gráficamente en un PC, una tablet o un móvil. Además, se dedica un capítulo completo a las comunicaciones Bluetooth y al desarrollo de aplicaciones para Android utilizando App Inventor 2, así como se incluye otro capítulo sobre las comunicaciones LoRaWAN, tratadas con un ejemplo práctico y didáctico por medio de Arduino MKR 1300. TTN y Ubidots se muestran como ejemplos de utilización básica. Con este libro, iniciarse en el internet de las cosas sin perder de vista la sencillez de la programación con Arduino, es posible. Consiga ya su ejemplar, disfrute de su enfoque práctico y conozca las herramientas que le permitirán innovar en el desarrollo de sus proyectos.
