Sinopse

Solar Storms explores the compelling intersection of technology, Earth sciences, and geography by examining the potentially devastating impacts of solar storms on our modern world. These space weather events, driven by phenomena like coronal mass ejections and solar flares, pose a significant threat to essential infrastructure. The book highlights intriguing facts, such as the vulnerability of satellite systems and communication networks, which could lead to widespread disruption in our interconnected society.

 
The book progresses by detailing the physics of the Sun, tracing the journey of solar storms through space, and analyzing their interaction with Earth's magnetosphere. It reviews past events, including the Carrington Event of 1859, which caused telegraph system failures, to illustrate the potential for far greater disruption today.

 
A key focus is on the vulnerability of power grids, underlining the need for infrastructure resilience.

 
Unique in its approach, Solar Storms doesn't just present the risks; it also emphasizes proactive measures. It advocates for enhanced monitoring, infrastructure hardening, and public awareness as vital strategies to mitigate the potential impact of these geomagnetic disturbances. By bridging astrophysics with electrical engineering and space physics with risk management, the book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based analysis of the risks and potential solutions, making complex scientific concepts accessible to a broad audience.

    Finding Voice For Authentic...

    Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak “Mother Tongue” — speaking from the belly rather than the mind. 
    She laments that in Western culture “the language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.” 
    In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program you’ll be dazzled by the mystery of Terry’s dying mother’s request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding one’s authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

    When Trees Testify - Science...

    This stunning cultural and personal reclamation of Black history and Black botanical mastery offers up lessons from the natural world shared through the stories of long-lived trees. The histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees, and others, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that, like Native American traditions, predates the United States entirely. In When Trees Testify, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees—as well as the cotton shrub—are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. Combining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany, Montgomery talks to majestic trees, and in this unique and compelling narrative, they answer.

    Ernst Mach was a Moravian-born Austrian physicist and philosopher, who contributed to the physics of shock waves. The ratio of one's speed to that of sound is named the Mach number in his honor. As a philosopher of science, he was a major influence on logical positivism and American pragmatism. Through his criticism of Newton's theories of space and time, he foreshadowed Einstein's theory of relativity.Included in this compilation are a set of scientific lectures that were intended to popularize science in the late 19th and early 20th century. Now in the twenty-first century, and scientific literacy falling to an all-time low, a call to popularize science could not be more needed.
