In the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture, the winds of change are ushering in a new era marked by cutting-edge innovations and modernizations in farming practices. These transformative shifts, underpinned by technology and sustainable approaches, are revolutionizing the way we grow our food.One of the most notable advancements is the integration of precision agriculture techniques. Through the use of satellite imagery, GPS technology, and data analytics, farmers can now make highly informed decisions about planting, fertilizing, and harvesting. This not only maximizes crop yields but also minimizes resource wastage, making farming more economically and environmentally sustainable.The adoption of vertical farming and hydroponics represents another remarkable development. These practices allow crops to be grown in controlled indoor environments, free from the constraints of weather and traditional soil cultivation. As a result, farming becomes less reliant on arable land and water resources, offering a solution to the challenges posed by urbanization and climate change.Furthermore, the embrace of automation and robotics is streamlining labor-intensive tasks on the farm. Machines can now plant, weed, and even harvest crops with precision and efficiency, reducing the burden on human labor and increasing overall productivity.In conclusion, the modernizations in farming, driven by technology and sustainability, are reshaping the agricultural landscape. These innovations promise to feed a growing global population while minimizing the environmental impact, ensuring a more secure and sustainable future for agriculture. John Adam, in his exploration of these trends, invites us to witness firsthand the fascinating evolution of farming in the 21st century.

On the 21st January 2012, after a long and very brave battle, my brother lost his fight against cancer and passed away peacefully during the evening with his family around him. Having been diagnosed with a rare spinal cancer and given less than a year to live he set about raising money for Cancer Research UK. Despite the very aggressive nature of the disease he displayed an amazing spirit throughout his illness which he fought with absolute dignity. The day he died I decided to carry on his fund-raising activities and determined to run the London Marathon in his memory. This book tells the story of quite possibly the biggest challenge of my life whilst highlighting the incredible determination that he displayed throughout his illness.

X and the City, a book of diverse and accessible math-based topics, uses basic modeling to explore a wide range of entertaining questions about urban life. How do you estimate the number of dental or doctor's offices, gas stations, restaurants, or movie theaters in a city of a given size? How can mathematics be used to maximize traffic flow through tunnels? Can you predict whether a traffic light will stay green long enough for you to cross the intersection? And what is the likelihood that your city will be hit by an asteroid? Every math problem and equation in this book tells a story and examples are explained throughout in an informal and witty style. The level of mathematics ranges from precalculus through calculus to some differential equations, and any reader with knowledge of elementary calculus will be able to follow the materials with ease. There are also some more challenging problems sprinkled in for the more advanced reader. Filled with interesting and unusual observations about how cities work, X and the City shows how mathematics undergirds and plays an important part in the metropolitan landscape.

From rainbows, river meanders, and shadows to spider webs, honeycombs, and the markings on animal coats, the visible world is full of patterns that can be described mathematically. Examining such readily observable phenomena, this book introduces readers to the beauty of nature as revealed by mathematics and the beauty of mathematics as revealed in nature. Generously illustrated, written in an informal style, and replete with examples from everyday life, Mathematics in Nature is an excellent and undaunting introduction to the ideas and methods of mathematical modeling. It illustrates how mathematics can be used to formulate and solve puzzles observed in nature and to interpret the solutions. In the process, it teaches such topics as the art of estimation and the effects of scale, particularly what happens as things get bigger. Readers will develop an understanding of the symbiosis that exists between basic scientific principles and their mathematical expressions as well as a deeper appreciation for such natural phenomena as cloud formations, halos and glories, tree heights and leaf patterns, butterfly and moth wings, and even puddles and mud cracks. Developed out of a university course, this book makes an ideal supplemental text for courses in applied mathematics and mathematical modeling. It will also appeal to mathematics educators and enthusiasts at all levels, and is designed so that it can be dipped into at leisure.
