Ammunition, Demystified is Hatcher's Notebook for the twenty-first century. It's a "e;soft"e; technical document intended for small caliber ammunition design and production engineers, as well as more advanced shooters and reloaders who want a more in-depth understanding of how guns and ammunition work and interact with one another. There is very little that is truly simple about small arms ammunition due to the enormous stresses to which the bullet and cartridge case structures are subjected during the firing process and the nonlinear material properties of these ammunition components. Ammunition Demystified untangles these interactions and will help put you on the path of increased understanding of a simple yet complex topic. This book encapsulates the technical knowledge acquired on bullets, cartridge cases, barrels, and ammunition testing over a career spanning four decades. It is a useful reference for shooters, reloaders, and "e;ammo guys"e; to assist them when they troubleshoot the mechanical and dispersion performance of their firearms and ammunition.Ammunition Demystified topics covered are* cartridge cases and case-chamber interaction* propellants and interior ballistics* projectile design, aerodynamics, and stability* trajectory, dispersion, accuracy* barrel: manufacture, fatigue life* ammunition: pressure and velocity testing, and load developmentwww.bulletology.com

The definitive introduction to game theoryThis comprehensive textbook introduces readers to the principal ideas and applications of game theory, in a style that combines rigor with accessibility. Steven Tadelis begins with a concise description of rational decision making, and goes on to discuss strategic and extensive form games with complete information, Bayesian games, and extensive form games with imperfect information. He covers a host of topics, including multistage and repeated games, bargaining theory, auctions, rent-seeking games, mechanism design, signaling games, reputation building, and information transmission games. Unlike other books on game theory, this one begins with the idea of rationality and explores its implications for multiperson decision problems through concepts like dominated strategies and rationalizability. Only then does it present the subject of Nash equilibrium and its derivatives.Game Theory is the ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Throughout, concepts and methods are explained using real-world examples backed by precise analytic material. The book features many important applications to economics and political science, as well as numerous exercises that focus on how to formalize informal situations and then analyze them.Introduces the core ideas and applications of game theoryCovers static and dynamic games, with complete and incomplete informationFeatures a variety of examples, applications, and exercisesTopics include repeated games, bargaining, auctions, signaling, reputation, and information transmissionIdeal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate studentsComplete solutions available to teachers and selected solutions available to students

En mytesprengende, øyeåpnende beretning om hvordan mennesker har utviklet seg. Et paradigmeskifte i vår tenkning om kvinnekroppen, hvordan den ble til og hvordan denne evolusjonen fortsatt former livet i dag.Hvordan drev kvinnekroppen 200 millioner år med menneskelig evolusjon? Hvorfor lever kvinner lenger enn menn? Hvorfor er det mer sannsynlig at kvinner får Alzheimers? Hvorfor skårer jenter bedre i alle akademiske fag enn gutter frem til puberteten, når poengsummen deres plutselig faller? Er sexisme nyttig for evolusjon? Og hvorfor, seriøst hvorfor, må kvinner svette gjennom sengetøyet hver natt når vi kommer i overgangsalderen?Med grenseløs nysgjerrighet og skarpt vidd går forsker Cat Bohannon løs på blant annet disse spørsmålene. Med et vitenskapelig blikk på de siste 200 millioner årene forklarer hun hvordan vitenskapen har sett på utviklingen av kvinnekroppen:«Vi trenger en slags brukermanual for det kvinnelige pattedyret. En no-nonsense, hardtslående, seriøst undersøkt (men lesbar) beretning om hva vi er. Hvordan kvinnekropper utviklet seg, hvordan de fungerer, hva det egentlig betyr å være en kvinne biologisk. Noe som ville omskrive historien om kvinnelighet. Denne boken er den historien. Vi må sette kvinnekroppen inn i bildet. Hvis vi ikke gjør det, er det ikke bare feminismen som er kompromittert. Moderne medisin, nevrobiologi, paleoantropologi, til og med evolusjonsbiologi får alle et slag når vi ignorerer det faktum at halvparten av oss har bryster. Så det er på tide vi snakker om bryster. Bryster og blod og fett og skjeder og livmor - alt sammen. Hvordan de ble til og hvordan vi lever med dem nå, uansett hvor rar eller morsom sannheten er.»EVA er ikke bare en omfattende revisjon av menneskets historie, den er et presserende og nødvendig korrektiv for en verden som har fokusert først og fremst på den mannlige kroppen altfor lenge. Ved å fortsette der Sapiens slapp, vil Eva fullstendig endre det du tror du vet om evolusjon og hvorfor Homo sapiens er blitt en så vellykket og dominerende art.«En pageturner om pattedyrs utvikling som begynner i juratiden, EVA forteller den tradisjonelle historien om evolusjonsbiologi på nytt ved å plassere kvinner i sentrum ... Boken er engasjerende, leken, lærd, diskursiv og rik på detaljer.»The New York Times

Life is uncertain. We are all the result of an unforeseen and unforeseeable sequence of small occurrences. But what underlies this fragile chain of events? Is it random or just complex? And what role does luck play in our lives?David Spiegelhalter has spent his career crunching data in order to help understand uncertainty and assess the chances of what might happen. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.Uncertainty, he argues, is a relationship between the observer and an object in the outside world. He shows us how we can express it numerically, and then update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. In crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, a field that informs everything from annuities to pandemics and climate change, while also examining the limitations of statistical modelling and arguing we need to have the humility to admit our ignorance.Drawing on a wide range of real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty in a world that makes it inevitable

In the Land of Ninkasi tells the story of the world's first great beer culture. In this authoritative but light-hearted account, archaeologist Tate Paulette brings the world of ancient Mesopotamian beer into vivid focus. He weaves together insights drawn from archaeological remains, ancient works of art, and cuneiform texts and pulls the reader, step-by-step, into the process of analysis and interpretation, explaining exactly what we know and how we know it. Readers will learn about the beers themselves and how they were made, consumed, and stored, and how to recreate modern versions of Mesopotamian brews.

Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters describes the observation, analysis and prediction of wind-generated waves in the open ocean, in shelf seas, and in coastal regions with islands, channels, tidal flats and inlets, estuaries, fjords and lagoons. Most of this richly illustrated book is devoted to the physical aspects of waves. After introducing observation techniques for waves, both at sea and from space, the book defines the parameters that characterise waves. Using basic statistical and physical concepts, the author discusses the prediction of waves in oceanic and coastal waters, first in terms of generalised observations, and then in terms of the more theoretical framework of the spectral energy balance. He gives the results of established theories and also the direction in which research is developing. The book ends with a description of SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore), the preferred computer model of the engineering community for predicting waves in coastal waters.

Psykisk dårlig helse tar over som den største helsetrusselen i vår tid. Et høyt tempo, konstant stress og en digital livsstil begynner å påvirke utviklingen av hjernen vår og mental dårlig helse tar over som den viktigste helsetrusselen i vår tid. Uansett hvor mye du liker å se på bilder på instagram, nyhetene på mobilen eller filmer og TV-serier, er ikke hjernen din tilpasset dette tempoet samfunnet i dag har. Men det betyr ikke at vi er maktesløse - med litt mer kunnskap om hvordan hjernen fungerer, innser vi snart at det egentlig handler om enkle og grunnleggende ting. Den menneskelige hjernen er skapt i en helt annen tid, og kanskje vi burde vise det litt mer hensyn. Anders Hansens Skjermhjernen hjelper deg til å få et helt nytt bilde av hva som skjer i hodet ditt og hvordan du kan ta mere hensyn til ditt eget hode. «Aldri i menneskehetens historie har vi endret oss så raskt som de siste tiårene. Men det er ikke bare våre digitale vaner vi har endret. Vi opplever også en annen type stress enn vi gjorde tidligere. Vi sover mindre og er mer stillesittende. Alt dette betyr at hjernen er i en ukjent verden. Denne boken handler om konsekvensene den har for oss.»
