Physical Science for Educators (CID: PHYS 14)
Evans, Ford, Henry, Kumari, Mona, Wakim · Coalinga College
Physical Science for Educators is designed to prepare students to teach chemistry and physics at the K – 12 grade levels with emphasis on meeting CA Public School Standards. This course is part of the natural science series for students planning to transfer to a four-year liberal studies program. Topics include physical and chemical properties of matter, motion, energy, electricity, light, atomic structure and bonding, and chemical reactions.

Computer Science from the Bottom Up
Ian Wienand · Red Hat
Computer science is often taught from the "top down"; applications, high level programming, software design and development theory, possibly data structures. Students will probably be exposed to binary, hopefully binary logic, possibly even some low level concepts such as registers, opcodes and the like at a superficial level. This book aims to move in completely the opposite direction, working from operating systems fundamentals through to how those applications are complied and executed.

AP Environmental Science
LibreTexts
This text is designed to acquaint students with the physical, ecological, social, and political principles of environmental science. Scientific method is used to analyze and understand the interrelationships between humans and the natural environment. This test shows how ecological realities and the material desire of humans often clash, leading to environmental degradation and pollution.

Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science
Mark A. Fitch · University of Alaska Anchorage
In class materials for an introduction to logic, proof, enumeration, relations, and graph theory for lower division undergraduate students of computer science and computer systems engineering. These materials were designed to introduce concepts of logic and discrete mathematics via carefully picked problems that test understanding of definitions. Another source of exercises is required at this time.

Climate Toolkit - A Resource Manual for Science and Action
Frank Granshaw · Portland State University
The Climate Toolkit is a resource manual designed to help the reader navigate the complex and perplexing issue of climate change by providing tools and strategies to explore the underlying science. As such it contains a collection of activities that make use of readily available on-line resources developed by research groups and public agencies. These include web-based climate models, climate data archives, interactive atlases, policy papers, and “solution” catalogs.
