Book Description
The present work proposes a tour from quantum physics to genetic engineering, going through us and a little further. It is a subtle and deep ride that dives into mankind's biggest mysteries. The proposal is to present scientific knowledge through an accessible language, worthy of a science fiction author. However, the author uses his academic knowledge to approach the subject with seriousness, in which the theoretical base is the fruit of an extensive research aiming to bring updated information, supported by renowned books and articles. In a beautiful fusion of the complicated and the subtle, the objective is to simply challenge you to think about everything and the anti-everything, through an unusual and surprising plot. Some of the approached subjects: Fundamental forces, Theory of Everything, space-time, multiverse, string theory, M theory, Big Bang, general and special relativity, DNA, genetic engineering, chemical weapons, heredity, stem cells, genetic enhancement, cloning, programed death, telomerase, antimatter, dark matter, dark energy, quantum mechanics, double slit experiment, quantum leap, quantum entanglement, quantum teleportation, chemical evolution, RNA world, panspermia, God and us.

Book Description
The essential and bestselling guide to typography from beloved design educator Ellen Lupton—revised and expanded to include new and additional voices, examples, and principles, and a wider array of typefaces. "Thinking with Type is to typography what Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time is to physics."—I Love Typography The bestselling Thinking with Type in a revised and expanded third edition: This is the definitive guide to using typography in visual communication. Covering the essentials of typography, this book explores everything from typefaces and type families to kerning and tracking to grids and layout principles. Ellen Lupton provides clear and focused guidance on how letters, words, and paragraphs should be aligned, spaced, ordered, and shaped. Historical and contemporary examples of graphic design show how to learn the rules and how to break them. Critical essays, eye-opening diagrams, helpful exercises, and dozens of examples and illustrations show readers how to be inventive within systems that inform and communicate. Featuring 32 pages of new content, the third edition is revised and refined from cover to cover: More fonts: old fonts, new fonts, weird fonts, libre fonts, Google fonts, Adobe fonts, fonts from independent foundries, and fonts and lettering by women and BIPOC designers Introductions to diverse writing systems, contributed by expert typographers from around the world Demonstrations of basic design principles, such as vi­sual balance, Gestalt grouping, and responsive layout Current approaches to typeface design, including Variable fonts and optical sizes Tips for readability, legibility, and accessibility Stunning reproductions from the Letterform Archive Thinking with Type is the typography book for everyone: designers, writers, editors, students, anyone who works with words on page or screen, and enthusiasts of type and lettering. Readers will also love Ellen Lupton's book Extra Bold: A Feminist, Inclusive, Anti-racist, Nonbinary Field Guide for Graphic Designers.

Book Description
Nations worldwide consider education an important tool for economic and social development, and the use of innovative strategies to prepare students for the acquisition of knowledge and skills is currently considered the most effective strategy for nurturing engaged, informed learners. In the last decade especially, European countries have promoted a series of revisions to their curricula and in the ways teachers are trained to put these into practice. Updating curriculum contents, pedagogical facilities (for example, computers in schools), and teaching and learning strategies should be seen as a routine task, since social and pedagogical needs change over time. Nevertheless, educational institutions and actors (educational departments, schools, teachers, and even students) normally tend to be committed to traditional practices. As a result of this resistance to change within educational systems, implementing educational innovation is a big challenge. The authors of the present volume have been involved with curriculum development since 2003. This work is an opportunity to present the results of more than a decade of research into experimental, inventive approaches to science education. Most chapters concern innovative strategies for the teaching and learning of new contents, as well as methods for learning to teach them at the pre-university school level. The research is focused on understanding the pedagogical issues around the process of innovation, and the findings are grounded in analyses of the limits and possibilities of teachers’ and students’ practices in schools.
