 The Formation of the Solar System: Theories Old and NewPDF | English | 11 MB Michael Woolfson Publisher: Imperial College Press Date: September 29, 2007 Pages: 340 Description:This book traces the development of ideas about the origin of the Solar System from ancient times to the present day. A survey of more modern ideas, covering the last 200 years or so, highlights the difficulties experienced by theories and also points the way towards the development of a more successful theory. In particular, the current standard model the Solar Nebula Theory is examined and discussed in some detail. After more than thirty years of development, this theory has still not settled down into an agreed form, as it experiences both theoretical difficulties and problems with reconciling new observations. By contrast, the Capture Theory, developed over the last forty years by the author, and supported by recent observations provides a complete description of the formation of the Solar System, including an evolutionary hypothesis that explains the detailed structure of the system. Written in an informative yet accessible manner, this book will appeal to both specialist and non-specialist readers alike.

 Surfer, October 2008PDF | English | 42.1 MB What if everything you knew, or assumed, about Timmy Reyes -- who's been painted as "just another comp surfer from Orange Country" -- was wrong? And what if Timmy, and guys like him, happened to be among the most compelling reasons for optimism about the state of surfing? Island beyond ReachAfter days at sea in a boat with an engine belching smoke, Jason Shibata, Kekoa Cazimero, and Daniel Jones found an absolutely faultless setup on an island lost in time. Here are the visual results -- and their thoughts on the wave, the place, the people, and the dog meat they ate for dinner. A People's History of TrestlesA gritty look at North America's most iconic wave, and the battles -- ecological, political, and uh, surf-ical -- that have made it a fixture in our collective consciousness. Surf TipDoes good surfing need to be hardwired into your brain?

 Game Theory at Work: How to Use Game Theory to Outthink and Outmaneuver Your CompetitionCHM | English | 1.8 MB James Miller Publisher: McGraw-Hill Date: March 2003 Pages: 288 Description:Game theory -- the study of how competitors act, react, and interact in the strategic pursuit of their own self-interest -- has become an essential competitive tool in today's business arena. Game Theory at Work provides examples of how businesspeople can use this time-proven approach to successfully meet competitive challenges and, more often than not, claim the upper ground in each battle before it begins. Game Theory at Work steers clear of the opaque mathematics and pedagogy that so often hamper practitioners of game theory, relying instead on lively case studies and examples to illustrate its remarkable methods in action. Complex yet comprehensible, it provides you with:
Methods for applying game theory to every facet of business
Strategies for instantly improving your position in virtually any negotiation
Game theory techniques to increase the output and value of each employee
At its essence, business is a game, albeit a profoundly serious game that must always be played to win. Game Theory at Work is the first plain-English examination of the use of game theory in business. Let it provide you with the intellectual tools you need to instantly understand every game you're playing, use that knowledge to your advantage, and consistently maximize your finish-line payoff.
