Guardate verso il cielo e preparatevi a sgranare gli occhi: città, foreste e oceani, capovolti sopra le vostre teste. Due mondi tanto vicini, quanto irraggiungibili e ai cui abitanti è proibito interagire. Adam (Jim Sturgess) appartiene al mondo di sotto, Eden (Kirsten Dunst) a quello di sopra. Il loro errore sarà quello di innamorarsi rischiando di incrinare per…

Encyclopadia Britannica GCSE Electronics includes two volumes in this set: 'Foundations for Electronics' and 'Analogue, Digital and Radio Circuits'. A high proportion of the programs consist of experiments, which emphasise project design, layout and construction, allowing high levels of interaction between the student and the program. Volume two of this set also incorporates sections of the highly acclaimed Crocodile Clips program. Both volumes use interactive animations to give the student the experience that is vital for exam success. Whilst this CD has been designed for those studying towards their GCSEs, it is also ideal for those interested in learning more about electronics in general.

In this four-book series we step back in time—back so many years that it is hard to grasp the distance—to explore our roots. Amazingly, for most of the millions of years that people have been around, there was more than one species of human in the world. Can you imagine meeting another species of human? Today we, Homo sapiens, are the only species of human on Earth. How did we become what we are today, and who were our ancestors and cousins in the human family tree? Together, the four books in Humans: An Evolutionary History answer these questions and more:

Lola Arendt, une petite fille de 8 ans, disparaît dans une Ile d’Ecosse. Ses parents, Martin et Sarah, brisés, ne résistent pas au drame et se séparent. Deux années plus tard, Lola est retrouvée à l’endroit exact où elle avait disparu. Elle est vivante, apparemment en bonne santé, mais reste plongée dans un étrange mutisme. Martin retourne seul sur l’île pour la chercher et la ramener : Au bonheur des retrouvailles succèdent les interrogations et la peur : Où était Lola ? Que lui est-il arrivé ? Pourquoi ne parle-t-elle pas ? Pourquoi Sarah semble lui avoir caché des informations quant à cette réapparition soudaine ? Quel est ce secret qui plane autour de Lola ?

Emphasizing genetics research, the fourth volume in the "Humans: An Evolutionary History" series explores scientists' efforts to identify which extinct human species are ancestors of Homo sapiens. They seek answers explaining why Homo sapiens is the only human species to survive. Readers learn that females transmit mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) useful for comprehending human evolution. Studies described include analysis of mtDNA specimens from modern humans representing diverse geographical areas and ethnic groups by Allan Wilson, Rebecca Cann, and Mark Stoneking who devised a phylogeny based on a common female ancestor they called mitochondrial Eve.

Monacan Indians tell their own story in this title. The contemporary Monacan Nation had approximately 1,400 registered members in 2006, mostly living in and around Lynchburg, Virginia, in Amherst County, but some are scattered like any other large family.

Das Buch hilft dem Leser bei einer systematischen Vorgehensweise für die Lösung allgemeiner steuerungstechnischer Aufgaben. Diese Vorgehensweise ist in bisherigen Publikationen auch in Applikationsberichten nur sehr eng behandelt. Es wird in dem Buch gezeigt, dass es für die gestellten Aufgaben zahlreiche Lösungsmöglichkeiten gibt, die unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen anbieten. An einer Vielzahl von Anwendungsbeispielen werden Eigenschaften und Möglichkeiten steuerungstechnischer Aufgaben und deren Verfahren erläutert. Es ist viel Wert auf die schematischen Darstellungen von Schaltfunktionen und ausführlichen Ableitungen der Funktionsgleichungen gelegt.
