In dit fascinerende en prachtig geïllustreerde boek legt de wereldvermaarde paleontoloog Michael Benton uit hoe dinosauriërs zich gedroegen. Hij bespreekt de evolutie, het gedrag, de fysiologie en het uitsterven van dinosaurussen. Omdat de forensische technologie zich snel ontwikkelt, krijgen paleontologen steeds meer inzicht in het dagelijks leven van dinosaurussen. Dit boek legt op toegankelijke wijze uit wat de wetenschappers hebben gevonden. De prachtige, speciaal gemaakte illustraties,...

We zijn dag en nacht omgeven door elektrische en draadloze apparaten - en in toenemnde mate door 5G straling. Omdat we gebrekkige informatie krijgen weten we maar weinig van de effecten.

Wat doen zenderstraling (mobieltjes), WiFi en babyfoon met jou? En met je kinderen? Hoe kunnen we er zo verstandig mogelijk mee omgaan

Ing. Jan van Gils, natuurkundige en leraar, schreef deze kundige visie en kritische reflectie op draadloze communicatie, elektromagnetische velden en straling. En geeft inzich...

Geodesign is a GIS-based planning and design method, which tightly couples the creation of design proposals with impact simulations informed by geographic contexts. Geodesign as such comprises a set of geo-information technology driven methods and techniques for planning built and natural environments in an integrated process. It includes project conceptualization, analysis, design specification, stakeholder participation and collaboration.

This academic publication brings together a wide var...

Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very...

The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical scientists today. It draws together essential basic science, with insights into laboratory practice, to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is linked to analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. The series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a biomedical scientist may be exposed - from microbiology, to cytopathology, totransfusion science.

The third ...
