In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established.

Serendipity tells the story of James Estes’s life as a naturalist and the concepts that have driven his interest in researching the ecological role of top-level predators. Using the relationships between sea otters, kelp, and sea urchins as a touchstone, Estes retraces his investigations of numerous other species, ecosystems, and ecological processes in an attempt to discover why ecologists can learn so many details about the systems in which they work and yet understand so little about the broader processes that influence these systems.

L’hacking non nasce con i computer. Già agli inizi del Novecento dei giovani appassionati modificavano i propri apparecchi radio per ottenere prestazioni non previste dal loro produttore. Alcuni decenni dopo, negli anni ’60, si diffondono i "phone phreaks", degli "hacker dei telefoni" che prefigurano molte caratteristiche della odierna cultura digitale. Con la diffusione dei PC i gruppi hacker diventano un fenomeno mediatico e di massa. Alla metà degli anni ’80, quello che fino ad allora era stato considerato come un "ragazzo prodigio" si trasforma in una potenziale minaccia come autore di clamorose truffe o altre pratiche criminali.

Nicht nur als Vater zweier Kinder macht er sich Gedanken, wie es um die Zukunft bestellt ist.

Il cervello è l’organo in grado di invecchiare meno di tutti gli altri. Meno del fegato, della pelle o del cuore. Prendercene cura è la nostra unica opportunità di estendere la giovinezza, di assaporare a lungo la vita e di salvaguardare allo stesso tempo la salute del corpo. Come racconta in questo libro Michela Matteoli, tra i neuroscienziati italiani più riconosciuti a livello internazionale, il cervello ha un punto di forza: la plasticità, cioè la proprietà di modificare se stesso e di autoripararsi.

This is a book of ideas—possibly different and unusual ideas—that are often anti-intuitive, politically incorrect and contrary. It is about how humans view themselves, their world and the Universe. It is about something called a worldview—a collection of mental models that form a structure or frame-work with which the brain classifies and interprets incoming and existing input and forms the basis for what is though, believed, retained or dismissed.

The year 2024 is marked by an astronomical phenomenon of monumental significance: the 2024 Supernova. This event is anticipated to be one of the most visually spectacular and scientifically significant astronomical events of the century.

What if you found out that we know a lot more about the answers to these questions than most people think? That we've known what time really is for quite a while, but that physicists rarely talk about it, and non-physicists consistently forget it? That modern science has given us answers about what consciousness must be and what the real role of the brain is in controlling our lives?

Smoke to See By is a collection of 21 essays and stories, many never before published, written by award-winning essayist and columnist Ben Moyer. The collection tracks the writer’s quest for intimate knowledge of, and personal connection to, the natural features of his home region, the foothills and ridges of Northern Appalachia.

Aerospace engineering encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including aerodynamics, which studies how air flows around objects like aircraft wings; propulsion systems, which power vehicles through the atmosphere or space; materials science, which focuses on developing lightweight yet durable materials for aerospace applications; and avionics, which involves designing and implementing electronic systems for navigation, communication, and control.

Embrace the rain: Unveil nature’s lifesaving secrets & master the art of water survival. Two manuscripts in one book.

A new theory of Time Wave Modulation and the Time Doppler Effect. Could have an impact as big or bigger than Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. This completely new scientific breakthrough could change the way that everyone on this planet looks at the amount and quality of Time we have left. After listening to this book, if you waste any of this precious gift, it won't be because I didn't tell you so.

Fact: 60% of Americans are unprepared for natural disasters—don’t be part of that statistic. Explore the art of water survival and self-reliance in an unpredictable world! In a world where unpredictability is constant, the importance of water becomes clear. We can live weeks without food, but only days without water—it’s vital for survival. Imagine a sudden power outage during a storm or an unexpected disaster striking your community. In these moments, one of your most critical lifelines is safe, clean water.

Lying in the remote hills of southwest Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest harbors elephants, chimpanzees, monkeys, and half the world’s population of endangered mountain gorillas. For two years, Thor Hanson called that forest home, working with local guides and trackers to develop an ecotourism program for the newly-formed Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Thoroughly researched and beautifully told, Hanson’s story blends natural history with cultural insight to place the forest and the gorillas in the context of modern Africa.

20 yüzyılın dehası olarak anılan ünlü fizikçi Einstein'ın oluşturduğu teoriler astronomi başta olmak üzere birçok bilim dalının önünü açıcı bir işleve sahiptir. Onun bilim ve araştırma tutkusu, hayatın zorluklarına rağmen hiç tükenmemiş ve gelecek nesillere örnek teşkil etmiştir. Hem çalışma disiplini hem de bilim dünyasında çığır açan teorileriyle modern bilimin bu noktaya gelmesinde büyük katkısı olan Einstein, her zaman kendinden söz ettirmiş ve bilim denince akla gelen ilk isim olmuştur.

Following the discovery of the Higgs boson, Frank Close has produced this major revision to his classic and compelling introduction to the fundamental particles that make up the universe. Frank Close takes us on a journey into the atom to examine known particles such as quarks, electrons, and the ghostly neutrino, and explains the key role and significance of the Higgs boson. Along the way he provides fascinating insights into how discoveries in particle physics have actually been made, and discusses how our picture of the world has been radically revised in the light of these developments.
