Když Jen Campbell začala sepisovat své zkušenosti se zákazníky z knihkupectví na blogu, netušila, jaký úspěch zaznamenají. Postupem času se hlášky mimoňských podivínů dostaly z obrazovky počítače na papír a od té doby baví jak odvážné knihkupce, kteří musí dennodenně čelit podivným a občas poněkud děsivým dotazům, tak i jejich knihomilské zákazníky kteří dokážou ocenit absurdní a literární humor.
Computers are used in every part of science from ecology to particle physics. This introduction to computer science continually reinforces those ties by using real-world science problems as examples. Anyone who has taken a high school science class will be able to follow along as the book introduces the basics of programming, then goes on to show readers how to work with databases, download data from the web automatically, build graphical interfaces, and most importantly, how to think like a professional programmer. Topics covered include: Basic elements of programming from arithmetic to loops and if statements. Using functions and modules to organize programs. Using lists, sets, and dictionaries to organize data. Designing algorithms systematically. Debugging things when they go wrong. Creating and querying databases. Building graphical interfaces to make programs easier to use. Object-oriented programming and programming patterns.
This book introduces us to St Bernard of Clairvaux through the lens of friendship. Close reading of Bernard's writings, not least of his letters, brings out the humanity of the saint and reveals the role of human friendship in his life. The author shows how similar are the experiences of this twelfth-century monk, with his needs and joys, hopes and feelings of inadequacy, to our own experiences of relationship in our present world with its pressures and social media. Liz Carmichael, Emeritus Research Fellow, St John's College, Oxford This fascinating and intimate portrayal of Bernard will inspire anyone wishing to explore the essential place of spiritual friendships in forming true disciples of Christ. Nick Swanson, Baptist Union Church Minister; Spiritual Direction trainer, Launde Abbey Team; IPCS Pastoral Supervision tutor Jennifer Campbell's brilliance in the book is how she has curated original material from the letters and reflections of the monks that by and large speak for themselves--and yet speak directly into our own age. One cannot read the book and not have one's own experience touched and illumined by the deeply authentic wisdom it contains. Chris Blakeley, Director of the St George's House Leadership Fellows Programme at Windsor Castle, Spiritual Direction Tutor
