This is an unusual journey through mathematics in a rock & roll setting, where Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry become easy and fun to understand thanks to the many mathematical ideas in the songs and records of world-famous rockstars.

The book is divided by topic, each dealing with a specific branch of mathematics and taking the reader on a step-by-step journey from the natural numbers of Rock around the clock that kicked off the history of rock, to the prime numbers of We will rock you and the geometry of The dark side of the moon.

Each chapter begins with an anecdote, an event or a record from the history of rock that provides the musical setting to introduce and explore a related mathematical concept.

What if a plant let us gaze into the future? Civilisations have always exploited the environment to thrive but now we must change how we use natural resources if we want to save the environment. It is a crucial pillar for our survival.

This book shows us how observing ecosystems, researching, experimenting and innovating can help us to adopt sustainable productions and behaviours that will trigger changes guaranteed not to compromise everything around us.

Targeted nutrition, biodiversity, plant domestication, recycling, renewable products and molecules are t crucial to life on Earth and are the driving force of circular bioeconomics, aimed at bringing a structural change to society.

This book tells us how to look at, listen to and take care of the woods.

A ranger and an oceanographer explain why it is crucial to protect the balance between humankind and the environment, and how nature has the wondrous ability to regenerate itself. It is a compelling read packed with stunning, exclusive pictures that show us how trees are born, grow and die, and reminds us of what happens when we fail to protect the woods.

For instance, the north-east Vaia storm revealed undeniable signs of a teetering age-old balance, of forests no longer able to cope with environmental factors that have changed drastically over the centuries.

This smooth, fact-filled read takes us on a journey through the complexity of ecosystems, the value of biodiversity and the urgency of environmental issues. It is a crucial book to help us understand the message that the woods are sending us and to restore the magic that trees can generate.

The book goes behind the scenes of the world of technology to tell us how The Next Big Thing is being prepared.

From finance to politics, from trade to manufacturing, from town planning to home management, from medicine to the conquest of space, there is no field A.I. hasn’t made its way into. It is invisible and ubiquitous.

Those with the smartest algorithms have more than just a competitive advantage – they actually pilot our lives and lay out our future. But A.I. is also the first evolutionary technology able to teach itself and make choices. What will happen tomorrow if the Machine takes over?

The book encourages us to reflect on the dynamics, the logic, the risks and the opportunities of the imminent algorithmic society.

The author ties together its technical, economic and social aspects and investigates how it will affect the labour world, particularly from the fascinating perspective of biology algorithms.

The book places people – especially workers – at the core of developments in economy and technology, observing past organism trends and hypothesising immediate developments.

There is no attempt to intimidate or delude because the future of artificial and augmented intelligence is far from set in stone.

The book teaches readers how to devise, create and strategically spread valuable content and convey it to the audience at the right time, using the right modalities and the appropriate devices.

The book is a comprehensive guide to all the principles of UX Writing. It includes a vast selection of practical examples and suggestions, providing readers with an effective writing method.

The book is about a series of cybercrime stories with global ramifications that have impacted people, organisations and businesses worldwide.

Some of these stories are a brilliant blend of plots, twists, mysteries and swerves. But the digital dimension also heralds in a host of new problems that require specific tools, interpretations and solutions.

The stories are told in such exquisite detail that seemingly unrelated ones can actually be tied in with each other.

While the media struggle to keep up with the web and its information overflow, here you can actually take the time to enjoy piecing it all together.

The book investigates the enthralling history of numbers – how they were invented, what they mean, how they evolved, how the concept of infinity was achieved and much more. In the labyrinth of the continuum – an expression coined by Leibniz for philosophical issues related to real numbers – maths is our thread of Ariadne that helps us find our way and describe time and space. The author shows us the relationship between maths and philosophy in the interpretation of the world, beginning with real numbers and sets and also tackling derivatives as well as solved and unsolved maths problems.
We will discover that maths is the key tool to knowledge and a crucial part of culture; it is not for just a select few but can in fact be understood by everyone.
