Sinossi

Solar Storm Risks explores the real threat that solar storms pose to our modern technological infrastructure. It highlights how events like coronal mass ejections and solar flares can cause electromagnetic disturbances, potentially crippling power grids and communication networks. A key insight is that our reliance on technology has made us increasingly vulnerable, drawing parallels to the 1859 Carrington Event, which disrupted telegraph systems worldwide. The book emphasizes the urgent need for risk assessment and mitigation strategies to protect against potentially devastating consequences.

 
The book presents a fact-based analysis of solar physics, infrastructure vulnerability, and mitigation strategies. It progresses logically from explaining the science behind solar storms to examining the weaknesses in our technological systems. Subsequent chapters explore hardening infrastructure, early warning systems, and emergency response protocols, showcasing a comprehensive approach to addressing this global technological risk.

 
It underscores the importance of international cooperation to safeguard against future events.

    What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads?
    
    Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real?
    
    In this book, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves.
    
    This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

    In this book, we will explore some of the most popular and fascinating animals that people choose to keep as pets. People have spent years studying and researching the behaviour, biology, and ecology of various domestic and exotic animals, including cats, dogs, horses, spiders, snakes, and stick insects. 
    Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature. Horses, on the other hand, have a long history of working alongside humans in various activities, including transportation, agriculture, and sports. 
    When it comes to exotic pets, spiders, snakes, and stick insects are some of the most intriguing animals to keep. These creatures may not be everyone`s cup of tea, but they have unique adaptations and behaviour patterns that make them fascinating to observe. Spiders, for example, have an intricate web-spinning ability that allows them to capture their prey with ease. Snakes, on the other hand, have a unique way of moving and hunting, which sets them apart from other animals. 
    Lastly, stick insects, also known as phasmids, are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings to avoid predators. 
    In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets. Whether you are a seasoned pet owner or considering getting your first pet, this book is an excellent resource to learn more about these fascinating creatures. 
    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.

    A fascinating piece of historical scientific writing, written in 1913 by E. Walter Maunder (F.R.A.S.), the Superintendent of the Solar Dept. at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. The book is a snapshot in time showing the evolution of thinking on the solar system and cosmology. The author considers, in fine detail, the plausibility of life on other planets within our solar system, the requirements for such life, and the barriers that life faces. Whilst many of the beliefs and conventions stated within the book are now out of date, it is enlightening to hear how theories and opinions have changed in just over 100 years. This is perfect listening for anyone with an interest in scientific history and cosmology.

    The amazing true story of the man behind modern weather predictionConsider a world without weather prediction. How would we know when to evacuate communities ahead of fires or floods, or figure out what to wear tomorrow? Until 40 years ago, we couldn’t forecast weather conditions beyond ten days. Renowned climate scientist Dr. Jagadish Shukla is largely to thank for modern weather forecasting. Born in rural India with no electricity, plumbing, or formal schools, he attended classes that were held in a cow shed. Shukla grew up amid turmoil: overwhelming monsoons, devastating droughts, and unpredictable crop yields. His drive brought him to the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, despite little experience. He then followed an unlikely path to MIT and Princeton, and the highest echelons of climate science. His work, which has enabled us to predict weather farther into the future than previously thought possible, allows us to feed more people, save lives, and hold on to hope in a warming world.Paired with his philanthropic endeavors and extreme dedication to the field, Dr. Shukla has been lauded internationally for his achievements, including a shared Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for his governmental research on climate change. A Billion Butterflies is a wondrous insider’s account of climate science and an unbelievable memoir of his life. Understanding dynamical seasonal prediction will change the way you experience a thunderstorm or interpret a forecast; understanding its origins and the remarkable story of the man who discovered it will change the way you see our world.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
