Review:
There may be “an app for that,” but every app starts as an idea. Ideas can come from anyone-designers or developers, marketing managers or CEOs and this book is about bringing those ideas to life.
iOS is a remarkable platform, both from a technology standpoint and as a pure business opportunity. With over 10 billion apps downloaded through the iTunes App Store, and over 50 million new iOS devices expected to ship in 2011, no other platform puts big business and individual developers on a level playing field like iOS does. Needless to say, if you have an idea for an app, now is the time to make it happen.
Whether you’re a designer or a developer, this book will help you:
Create basic user interface elements
Understand navigation metaphors and practices
Design for multiple devices
Customize system UI elements
Incorporate system-provided and custom animations
Use touch- and motion-based gestures
Create UIViews and UIViewControllers using Core Graphics
Avoid rejection by the iTunes App Store

Wars were fought the world over between the 12th and 17th centuries as navies, armies, and chartered merchant companies battled one another (and locals) on every inhabited land and every navigable body of water. Continental rivalries turned into global rivalries for power, territory, markets, and souls. "Gunpowder Empires," emerging in the fourteenth century, drastically altered global politics with brutal simplicity. Those who adopted gunpowder weapons effectively--France, Ottoman Turks, Iran--inevitably crushed those who did not--Mongols, Aztecs, Japanese Samurai. This unparalleled work offers close to 2,000 incredibly wide-ranging entries on cultural, military, and political history, as well as geography, biography, and philosophy.

Authoritative, thorough, and engaging, Life: The Science of Biology achieves an optimal balance of scholarship and teachability, never losing sight of either the science or the student. The first introductory text to present biological concepts through the research that revealed them, Life covers the full range of topics with an integrated experimental focus that flows naturally from the narrative. This approach helps to bring the drama of classic and cutting-edge research to the classroom—but always in the context of reinforcing core ideas and the innovative scientific thinking behind them. Students will experience biology not just as a litany of facts or a highlight reel of experiments, but as a rich, coherent discipline
