Synopsis John M. Horton, Mariner Artist by : Peter Vassilopoulos
"John M. Horton's marine art captures today and yesterday - people, places and events as we know and remember them. His paintings grace the walls of corporate offices, private homes, mansions, museums and even ships at sea. While there are many artists who paint marine scenes, few have Horton's ability to delineate accurately the architecture of a ship. And few compare when it comes to depicting the history of maritime events through their work." "Horton's portrayals range from the Pacific voyages of discovery when captains Cook and Vancouver first anchored off British Columbia to contemporary settings on urban and rural waterfronts. He gives us glimpses of other parts of the world, or the military at work, of bustling ports and tranquil inlets."--BOOK JACKET.

Synopsis Genius at Play by : Siobhan Roberts
A multifaceted biography of a brilliant mathematician and iconoclast A mathematician unlike any other, John Horton Conway (1937–2020) possessed a rock star’s charisma, a polymath’s promiscuous curiosity, and a sly sense of humor. Conway found fame as a barefoot professor at Cambridge, where he discovered the Conway groups in mathematical symmetry and the aptly named surreal numbers. He also invented the cult classic Game of Life, a cellular automaton that demonstrates how simplicity generates complexity—and provides an analogy for mathematics and the entire universe. Moving to Princeton in 1987, Conway used ropes, dice, pennies, coat hangers, and the occasional Slinky to illustrate his winning imagination and share his nerdish delights. Genius at Play tells the story of this ambassador-at-large for the beauties and joys of mathematics, lays bare Conway’s personal and professional idiosyncrasies, and offers an intimate look into the mind of one of the twentieth century’s most endearing and original intellectuals.

Synopsis Android Game Programming by Example by : John Horton
Android gaming is a hot topic these days, but one of the few areas of technology that does not have an abundance of clear and useful documentation online. However, there is an ever-increasing demand for Android games. This book will help you get up to speed with the essentials of game development with Android. The book begins by teaching you the setup of a game development environment on a fundamental level. Moving on, the book deals with concepts such as building a home screen UI, implementing game objects, and painting the scene at a fixed resolution. Gradually, it builds up to the implementation of a flexible and advanced game engine that uses OpenGL ES 2 for fast, smooth frame rates. This is achieved by starting with a simple game and gradually increasing the complexity of the three complete games built step by step. By the end of the book, you will have successfully built three exciting games over the course of three engrossing and insightful projects.

Synopsis The Inner Game of Stress by : W. Timothy Gallwey
A unique and empowering resource to overcoming stress and stabilizing your mental health in today’s volatile world—part of the bestselling Inner Game series, with more than one million copies sold! “Tim Gallwey is one of the great teachers of our time. In this day, when many talk of accelerating learning in organizations but few have actually done it, the words of a master are timely indeed.”—Peter M. Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization Renowned sports psychology expert W. Timothy Gallwey teams up with two esteemed physicians to present an invaluable guide for managing everyday stress. Gallwey explains how negative self-talk undermines us and leaves us feeling helpless and unhappy—and he shows that we have the means to build a shield against stress using our abilities to take childlike pleasure in learning new skills, which can help us rest, relax, and trust our own judgement. With his trademark mix of case histories and interactive worksheets, Gallwey helps us tap into our inner strengths with these practical tools: • the STOP technique: Learn how to Step back, Think, Organize, and Proceed with a more conscious choice process, even in the most chaotic circumstances. • the Attitude tool: If you’re feeling resentment, try gratitude. • the Magic Pen: Develop the ability to open up your intuition and wisdom. • the Transpose exercise: Imagine what the other person thinks, feels, wants—and develop empathy, kindness, and better relationship skills. • the PLE triangle: Use your goals for Performance, Learning, and Experience to redefine success and enhance enjoyment. You don’t have to be an athlete to keep your life in perspective and your performance at its peak. A one-of-a kind guide, The Inner Game of Stress allows anyone to get in the game and win.
