Paperback. Condition: New. By the Wainwright-Conservation-Prize-winning author of Rebirding Spend a year in an orchard, celebrating its imperilled, overlooked abundance of life. England's ancient orchards, collaborations between people and nature, are sources of hope for the future. Protecting them promises a far richer England for the centuries to come, for wildlife and for us. As the seasons turn, a wealth of animals and plants are revealed: Bumble and solitary bees apartment-hunting in April; spotted flycatchers migrating in May; redstarts, hedgehogs and owls nesting in June; an explosion of life in the summer and the harvest and homespun cider-making in the autumn.

Explore this unique habitat throughout the course of a year, and marvel at the beauty and strength of nature.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever opened a database and wondered where to begin-or why your SQL works sometimes and breaks the moment things scale Have you written queries that run fine on small data, only to crawl in production Have you been asked to 'optimize,' 'secure,' or 'migrate' a database and realized no one ever taught you how those pieces actually fit together SQL Crash Course: Essential Skills for Data and IT Professionals by Nicholas Gates is written for people exactly like you-curious, ambitious, and tired of shallow explanations. This book doesn't assume you want to memorize syntax for the sake of it. Instead, it starts a conversation with you-one that keeps asking the same question professionals face every day: why does this work, and what happens when it doesn't Do you want to understand SQL, or do you want to think like someone who truly understands databases >As you read, you're constantly challenged to reflect: - Why does one query design scale while another quietly fails - Why do transactions behave differently under load - Why does 'just adding an index' sometimes make things worse - Why do modern teams care so much about observability, migrations, and data lineage This isn't just about writing SQL-it's about using SQL responsibly in real systems. Nicholas Gates walks you through SQL as it's actually used in the field: in production databases, cloud platforms, analytics pipelines, and machine learning workflows. The explanations feel like a mentor sitting beside you, anticipating your next question before you ask it. Ever wondered how professionals design databases that survive growth, audits, outages, and migrations >The book speaks directly to: - Data analysts who want to move beyond dashboards- Backend and DevOps engineers responsible for production databases- IT professionals supporting mission-critical systems- Students and career-switchers who want practical confidence, not just theoryInstead of telling you 'what to do,' this book keeps asking, 'what would you do next ' >By the end, SQL no longer feels like a collection of commands.>If you've ever felt that most SQL books stop right when things get interesting-this one is written for you.
