Making a successful video game is hard. Even games that are well-received at launch may fail to engage players in the long term due to issues with the user experience (UX) that they are delivering. That's why makers of successful video games like Fortnite and Assassin's Creed invest both time and money perfecting their UX strategy.

These top video game creators know that a bad user experience can ruin the prospects for any game, regardless of its budget, scope, or ambition. The game UX accoun...

Covers all randomised controlled experimental designs likely to be needed in laboratory animal research, with worked examples showing how they can be statistically analysed. This book covers the learning outcomes of Module 10 and part (ii) of Module 11 of education and training under Directive 2010/63/EU.

The powers of living matter are still more characteristic. It is continually wasting away by a kind of internal combustion, but continually repairs the waste by the processes of growth.

Moreover, this growth is of a characteristic kind, differing absolutely from the so-called growth of lifeless things. Crystals and other lifeless bodies grow, if at all, by accretion, or the addition of new particles to the outside. Living matter grows from within by intus-susception, or taking in new particle...

In the greatly awakened interest in the common-school subjects during recent years, geography has received a large share. The establishment of chairs of geography in some of our greatest universities, the giving of college courses in physiography, meteorology, and commerce, and the general extension of geography courses in normal schools, academies, and high schools, may be cited as evidence of this growing appreciation of the importance of the subject.

While physiographic processes and resul...

De bevolkingsgroei heeft de mens voor een groot aantal problemen gesteld, waarvan dat van de ondervoeding wel het opvallendste en schrijnendste is. Alle leven is er voor zijn voeding direct of indirect afhankelijk van de 'groene aarde', van het bladgroen van de planten, die de aarde bedekken en die ook, en zeker niet in mindere mate, in de zeeën leven. Het leven op aarde vormt een groot en samenhangend geheel, waarin de groene plant een sleutelpositie inneemt. Kennis van de processen die zic...

Hoe ontstaan nieuwe soorten? Hoe is het leven op aarde geëvolueerd? Welke weg hebben we zelf afgelegd en hoe merken we dat vandaag nog?

Evolutie is een van de meest intrigerende fenomenen op onze planeet en het resultaat ervan zien we overal om ons heen. Aan de hand van talrijke voorbeelden wordt in dit boek duidelijk gemaakt hoe evolutie werkt en nog steeds doorgaat. Zo is er aandacht voor de stamboom van het leven, misverstanden rond evolutie en de clash tussen Darwin en God. Bovendien is h...
