Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher is a publishing first. This set couples a book containing the six easiest chapters from Richard P. Feynman’s landmark work, Lectures on Physics specifically designed for the general, non-scientist readerwith the actual recordings of the late, great physicist delivering the lectures on which the cha...(展开全部)

A book about modern operating systems. Topics are broken down into three major conceptual pieces: Virtualization, Concurrency, and Persistence. Includes all major components of modern systems including scheduling, virtual memory management, disk subsystems and I/O, file systems, and even a short introduction to distributed systems.

OSTEP ("oh step"), or the "the comet book", represents the culmination of years of teaching intro to operating systems to both undergraduates and graduates at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Computer Sciences department for nearly 20 years.The book is organized around three concepts fundamental to OS construction: virtualization (of CPU and memory), concurrency (locks and c...(展开全部)

The six easiest chapters from Feynmans landmark work, Lectures on Physics specifically designed for the general, non-scientist reader.

"If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces."- John Gribbin, New Scientist It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the Califo...(展开全部)

理查德·费曼，1918年，费曼诞生于纽约市布鲁克林区，1942年，从普林斯顿大学取得博士学位。第二次世界大战期间，他曾在美国设于新墨西哥州的罗沙拉摩斯（Los Alamos）实验室服务，参与研发原子弹的曼哈坦计画（Manhattan Project），当时虽然年纪很轻，却已经是计画中的重要角色。随后，他任教于康乃尔大学以及加州理工学院。1965年，由于费曼在量子电动力学的成就，与朝永振一郎（Sin-Itiro Tomonaga）、施温格（Julian Schwinger）两人，共同获得该年度的诺贝尔物理奖。 费曼博士为量子电动力学理论解决了不少问题，同时他首创了一个解释液态氦超流体现象的数学理论。之后，他跟葛尔曼（Murray Gell-Mann）合作，研究弱交互作用（例如贝他衰变），做了许多奠基工作。后来数年，费曼成为发展夸克（quark）理论的关...(展开全部)

No twentieth-century American scientist is better known to a wider spectrum of people than Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988)—physicist, teacher, author, and cultural icon. His autobiographies and biographies have been read and enjoyed by millions of readers around the world, while his wit and eccentricities have made him the subject of TV specials and even a theatrical film. The s...(展开全部)

James Scott taught us what's wrong with seeing like a state. Now, in his most accessible and personal book to date, the acclaimed social scientist makes the case for seeing like an anarchist. Inspired by the core anarchist faith in the possibilities of voluntary cooperation without hierarchy, "Two Cheers for Anarchism" is an engaging, high-spirited, and often very funny defense...(展开全部)
