Milo is thrilled to be starting at the country's fanciest,
shiniest, most prestigious school. But it soon becomes clear that
something sinister is going on. The headmaster, Dr Pummelcrush, is
bent on brainwashing the students and turning them into mindless,
unthinking human robots. When Milo stumbles across a bright and
colourful secret garden and meets its joyous gardener, he and his
friends begin to open their minds to a whole new way of thinking:
philosophy. Can the Philosophy Resistance Squad use their new
questioning skills to resist Pummelcrush's evil project and save
their classmates from being zombified?
'Writing the Science Fiction Film' describes the kinds of stories
that work best as science fiction, explores the parameters of the
science fiction genre, and shows what science fiction can offer to
writers that other genres cannot.
This is the age of data. There are more innovations and more
opportunities for interesting work with data than ever before, but
there is also an overwhelming amount of quantitative information
being published every day. Data visualisation has become big
business, because communication is the difference between success
and failure, no matter how clever the analysis may have been. The
ability to visualize data is now a skill in demand across business,
government, NGOs and academia. Data Visualization: Charts, Maps,
and Interactive Graphics gives an overview of a wide range of
techniques and challenges, while staying accessible to anyone
interested in working with and understanding data. Features:
Focusses on concepts and ways of thinking about data rather than
algebra or computer code. Features 17 short chapters that can be
read in one sitting. Includes chapters on big data, statistical and
machine learning models, visual perception, high-dimensional data,
and maps and geographic data. Contains more than 125
visualizations, most created by the author. Supported by a website
with all code for creating the visualizations, further reading,
datasets and practical advice on crafting the images. Whether you
are a student considering a career in data science, an analyst who
wants to learn more about visualization, or the manager of a team
working with data, this book will introduce you to a broad range of
data visualization methods. Cover image: Landscape of Change uses
data about sea level rise, glacier volume decline, increasing
global temperatures, and the increasing use of fossil fuels. These
data lines compose a landscape shaped by the changing climate, a
world in which we are now living. Copyright (c) Jill Pelto

Robert Grant Watson was a British diplomat attached to the British
Legation in Persia. His A History of Persia, published in 1866, is
a detailed account of events in the country in the first half of
the nineteenth century, when the foundations of the Qajar dynasty
were being laid. Watson uses both European and Persian sources to
detail the circumstances of the Qajar rise to rule and recount the
tumultuous events of Persia affairs - both foreign and domestic -
between 1800 and 1860. This was one of the first books to be
written on this specific period and details Persia's entanglements
with European powers, including the war between Persia and Russia,
her internal ructions, and the complex dealings of the various
treaties and their upsets. The hard-to-find volume is now
re-published with a new introduction by the leading scholar of
Iranian History, Ali Ansari, who is Professor at St Andrews
University in the U.K.
