Databaser är en fundamental byggsten inom IT och har en central betydelse för att individer, företag, organisationer och samhällen ska kunna verka i modern tid. Denna bok lär ut databaser och SQL från grunden. Bokens primära fokus är på relationsdatabaser där kodexempel demonstreras i databashanterarna MySQL och Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL). Boken har även ett kapitel som täcker icke-relationella databaser. Eftersom boken lär ut databaser och SQL från grunden innebär det att inga förkunskaper inom dessa områden förutsätts. Boken kan användas i kurser av olika slag inom exempelvis yrkeshögskolan, företag eller andra organisationer. Boken lämpar sig också för självstudier. Även de som har viss erfarenhet av databaser och SQL kan med fördel läsa boken för att få en gedigen grund.

In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus publicly defended his hypothesis that the earth is a planet and the sun a body resting near the center of a finite universe. But why did Copernicus make this bold proposal? And why did it matter? The Copernican Question reframes this pivotal moment in the history of science, centering the story on a conflict over the credibility of astrology that erupted in Italy just as Copernicus arrived in 1496. Copernicus engendered enormous resistance when he sought to protect astrology by reconstituting its astronomical foundations. Robert S. Westman shows that efforts to answer the astrological skeptics became a crucial unifying theme of the early modern scientific movement. His interpretation of this "long sixteenth century," from the 1490s to the 1610s, offers a new framework for understanding the great transformations in natural philosophy in the century that followed.
