DNA ancestry companies generate revenues in the region of $1bn a year, and the company 23andMe is said to have sold 10 million DNA ancestry kits to date. Although evidently popular, the science behind how DNA ancestry tests work is mystifying and difficult for the general public to interpret and understand.

The Flying Man: Otto Lilienthal-History, Flights and Photographs
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030950328 | 352 Pages | PDF (True) | 17 MB
"Of all the men who attacked the flying problem in the 19th century, Otto Lilienthal was easily the most important. His greatness appeared in every phase of the problem. No one equaled him in power to draw new recruits to the cause; no one equaled him in fullness and dearness of understanding of the principles of flight; no one did so much to convince the world of the advantages of curved wing surfaces; and no one did so much to transfer the problem of human flight to the open air where it belonged."

THE QUEEN OF THE NEANDERTHALS by Ruben Ygua

The Stone Age was a long period that we have barely begun to know... now we know that we were wrong about that remote past.Man, by nature, is sedentary. A deep primitive instinct leads us to consider as property the territory that feeds us and gives us refuge. Archaeology has revealed that long before the dynastic history of the Pharaohs began, primitive tribes lived along the Nile River, settled in sedentary villages, millennia before agriculture and the domestication of animals. These tribes were hunter-gatherer clans, nomads only when climatic changes forced them to leave; they organized complex societies that maintained an intense trade in the middle of the Stone Age, exchanging the most diverse products, sometimes transported more than two thousand kilometers from their place of origin.Before pottery, before copper metallurgy, before the domestication of the horse, and before plugging... they evolved complex societies of hunters, collected wild cereals to make wheat and barley flour, drank beer, consumed bread... and built sanctuaries and temples, which only now archaeology is discovering.It was a time when only one animal had been domesticated: the dog.

Sound Analysis and Synthesis with R by Jérôme Sueur
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 682 Pages | ISBN : 3319776452 | 111.2 MB
Sound is almost always around us, anywhere, at any time, reaching our ears and stimulating our brains for better or worse. Sound can be the disturbing noise of a drill, a merry little tune sung by a friend, the song of a bird in the morning or a clap of thunder at night. The science of sound, or acoustics, studies all types of sounds and therefore covers a wide range of scientific disciplines, from pure to applied acoustics. Research dealing with acoustics requires a sound to be recorded, analyzed, manipulated and, possibly, changed. This is particularly, but not exclusively, the case in bioacoustics and ecoacoustics, two life sciences disciplines that attempt to understand and to eavesdrop on the sound produced by animals. Sound analysis and synthesis can be challenging for students, researchers and practitioners who have few skills in mathematics or physics. However, deciphering the structure of a sound can be useful in behavioral and ecological research - and also very amusing.
