Nature by Design : The Practice of Biophilic Design
Describes the basic principles, practices, and options for successfully implementing biophilic design. He shows us what is—and isn’t—good biophilic design using examples of workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, commercial centers, religious structures, and hospitality settings. This book will to appeal to architects, designers, engineers, scholars of human evolutionary biology, and—with more than one hundred striking images of designs—anyone interested in nature‑inspired spaces.
Indiscrete Thoughts
Indiscrete Thoughts gives a glimpse into a world that has seldom been described, that of science and technology as seen through the eyes of a mathematician. The era covered by this book, 1950 to 1990, was surely one of the golden ages of science as well as of the American university. Cherished myths are debunked along the way as Gian-Carlo Rota takes pleasure in portraying, warts and all, some of the great scientific personalities of the period —Stanislav Ulam (who, together with Edward Teller, signed the patent application for the hydrogen bomb), Solomon Lefschetz (Chairman in the 1950s of the Princeton mathematics department), William Feller (one of the founders of modern probability theory), Jack Schwartz (one of the founders of computer science), and many others.
Goodman and Gilman's the pharmacological basis of therapeutics ; 14th ed.
A collaboration between two friends and professors at Yale, Louis Goodman and Alfred Gilman. Over the years, “G&G” has been acclaimed as the “blue bible” of pharmacology. Surely much of that acclaim reflects the book’s purpose, delineated by the original authors and steadily adhered to over 81 years: to correlate pharmacology with related medical sciences, to reinterpret the actions and uses of drugs in light of advances in medicine and the basic biomedical sciences, to emphasize the application of pharmacodynamics to therapeutics, and to create a book that would be useful to students of pharmacology and to healthcare practitioners.
