The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the internet, and playing games. It also plays high-definition video. This book takes you step-by-step through many fun and educational possibilities. Take advantage of several preloaded programming languages. Use the Raspberry Pi with Arduino. Create Internet-connected projects. Play with multimedia. With Raspberry Pi, you can do all of this and more.

Covering over a thousand years of royal history, Matt Richardson highlights the triumphs, tragedies, and scandals that are central to this rich heritage.

littleBits are electronic building blocks with over 60 modules and trillions of combinations. With littleBits, anyone can harness the power of electronics, microcontrollers, and the cloud--regardless of age, gender, technical ability, or educational background. You can combine these simple, snap-together, magnetic bricks to make simple electronic circuits, or build robots and devices that combine sensors, microcontrollers, and cloud connectivity. This book, co-authored by littleBits founder Ayah Bdeir, along with top-selling author Matt Richardson (Getting Started with Raspberry Pi), teaches you just enough electronics to start making things with littleBits and takes you on up through connecting littleBits to the cloud and programming with its Arduino-compatible module.

Many people think of Linux as a computer operating system, running on users'' desktops and powering servers. But Linux can also be found inside many consumer electronics devices. Whether they''re the brains of a cell phone, cable box, or exercise bike, embedded Linux systems blur the distinction between computer and device. Many makers love microcontroller platforms such as Arduino, but as the complexity increases in their projects, they need more power for applications, such as computer vision. The BeagleBone is an embedded Linux board for makers. It''s got built-in networking, many inputs and outputs, and a fast processor to handle demanding tasks. This book introduces you to both the original BeagleBone and the new BeagleBone Black and gets you started with projects that take advantage of the board''s processing power and its ability to interface with the outside world.

Getting Started with the Intel Galileo gets you up and running with this new, x86-powered board that was developed in collaboration between Arduino and Intel. You''ll learn how to set it up, connect it to your computer, and begin programming. You''ll learn how to build electronics projects around the Galileo, and you''ll explore the features and power that make it different from all the boards that came before. Developed in collaboration with the Intel Galileo team, and in consultation with members of the Arduino team, this is the definitive introduction to Intel''s new board for makers.

The Queer Limit of Black Memory: Black Lesbian Literature and Irresolution identifies a new archive of Black women''s literature that has heretofore been on the margins of literary scholarship and African diaspora cultural criticism. It argues that Black lesbian texts celebrate both the strategies of resistance used by queer Black subjects and the spaces for grieving the loss of queer Black subjects that dominant histories of the African diasporas often forget. Matt Richardson has gathered an understudied archive of texts by LaShonda Barnett, S. Diane Adamz-Bogus, Dionne Brand, Sharon Bridgforth, Laurinda D. Brown, Jewelle Gomez, Jackie Kay, and Cherry Muhanji in order to relocate the queerness of Black diasporic vernacular traditions, including drag or gender performance, blues, jazz, and West African spiritual and religious practices. Richardson argues that the vernacular includes queer epistemologies, or methods for accessing and exploring the realities of Black queer experience that other alternative archives and spaces of commemoration do not explore. The Queer Limit of Black Memory brings together several theorists whose work is vital within Black studies--Fred Moten, Saidiya Hartman, Hortense Spillers, Frantz Fanon, and Orlando Patterson--in service of queer readings of Black subjectivity.

Madagascar, veritable laboratoire de l evolution pour la faune et la flore, est le 2eme pays au monde en matiere de diversite de primates (bien qu il represente moins de 7 % de la surface du premier pays, le Bresil) avec 98 especes endemiques. C est aussi un pays fragile dont les richesses naturelles s erodent tres rapidement. Ainsi, en 2012, l UICN a revele une hausse dramatique du nombre de lemuriens menaces d extinction. Avec 15 % des especes et sous-especes de primates connus au monde, 20 % des genres et 36 % des familles, la responsabilite du pays en terme de conservation n en est que plus grande. Cet ouvrage synthetise les donnees disponibles concernant l ecologie, la repartition et le statut de conservation des lemuriens, et permet leur identification dans la nature. Il espere contribuer ainsi au developpement de l ecotourisme a Madagascar, encourager la poursuite de nouvelles recherches et l augmentation des connaissances sur la biologie des lemuriens. D un usage facile, il est concu pour etre une reference pour les ecotouristes et les primatologues amateurs. Les 102 taxons actuellement connus sont richement illustres et la repartition geographique, l ecologie et le comportement de chacun d eux sont decrits en detail. Un repere en couleur sur la tranche de l ouvrage permet rapidement de visualiser les cinq familles de lemuriens actuels. Les six premiers chapitres presentent l histoire geologique de l ile, comment les lemuriens y sont arrives, les especes eteintes, la decouverte et l etude des lemuriens actuels ainsi que les enjeux de leur conservation. Les chapitres 7 a 11 constituent l essentiel de l ouvrage et fournissent les donnees detaillees sur les 102 especes et sous-especes. Enfin, les annexes offrent de nombreuses cartes presentant la topographie de l ile, ses regions biogeographiques et domaines floristiques, et repertorient les lieux ou peuvent etre observes ces lemuriens dans leur habitat naturel. La riche bibliographie permet au lecteur d approfondir et d elargir encore ses connaissances. "
