This book provides the first comprehensive overview of software architecture’s many aspects. Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics. Mark Richards and Neal Ford—hands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for years—focus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks.

Numbers. Like the alphabet, they’re one of the most elementary of concepts learned and memorized at a young age; but outside of figuring out tips and taxes, you probably haven’t given much thought to them since then. To a mathematician, every number has its own unique properties and personality - and when studied, played with, and manipulated, numbers can actually be tons of fun.

Have you ever wondered how your robot vacuum avoids your coffee table or how a self-driving car knows when to stop at a red light? What about the robots that dance on stage, deliver meals, or even roam the dusty surface of Mars? These aren't just science fiction anymore—they're part of an increasingly real and evolving world: the world of robotics. Robots are everywhere, from household gadgets to space-faring explorers, from robotic pets to factory arms assembling your smartphone. We see them in the news, in our homes, in medicine, in classrooms, and on construction sites.

On May 2, 1970, a DC-9 jet with 57 passengers and a crew of six departed from New York's JFK International Airport en route to the tropical island of St. Maarten, but four hours and 34 minutes later, the flight ended in the shark-infested waters of the Caribbean. It was, and remains, the only open-water ditching of a commercial jet. The subsequent rescue of survivors took nearly three hours and involved the coast guard, navy, and marines.

Water is the most fundamental of survival needs. While many communities around the world are used to struggling with water shortages, many of us have no clue what we would do in this sort of situation.

Discover the fascinating world behind every flight you take. From the Wright brothers’ twelve-second flight to today’s global network carrying over 4 billion passengers annually, aviation represents one of humanity’s most remarkable achievements. But how does this complex industry actually work? Air Transport Explained takes you on a comprehensive journey through the aviation ecosystem, revealing the systems and innovations that make modern air travel possible.

We prefer not to talk about it, but we should. Disease spread by waste kills more people worldwide every year than any other single cause of death. Even in America, nearly two million people have no access to an indoor toilet. Yet the subject remains unmentionable. Moving from the underground sewers of Paris, London, and New York (an infrastructure disaster waiting to happen) to an Indian slum where ten toilets are shared by 60,000 people, The Big Necessity breaks the silence, revealing everything that matters about how people do - and don't - deal with their own waste.

The Pennsylvania and the New York Central railroads helped to develop central Pennsylvania as the largest source of bituminous coal for the nation. By the late 19th century, the two lines were among America’s largest businesses and would soon become legendary archrivals. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) first arrived in the 1860s. Within a few years, it was sourcing as much as four million tons of coal annually from Centre County and the Moshannon Valley and would continue do so for another quarter century.
