Synopsis

"The Space Vacuum" explores the often-underestimated role of near-perfect emptiness in shaping space exploration and space science. It reveals how the vacuum of space isn't just an absence of air, but a dynamic environment filled with radiation and extreme temperatures, posing significant dangers to astronauts and spacecraft. The book details how the vacuum actively shapes the space environment through interactions with radiation, magnetic fields, and micrometeoroids. Understanding the vacuum is vital for future space travel, spacecraft design, and the search for life beyond Earth.

 
The book progresses from establishing the scientific basis of the space vacuum to examining its effects on the human body, detailing physiological challenges like radiation exposure and bone density loss. It highlights the engineering feats required to protect astronauts and equipment, such as spacesuits and spacecraft shielding.

 
The approach blends historical analysis with up-to-date space technology, and it emphasizes the iterative nature of engineering solutions developed over time. Ultimately, "The Space Vacuum" offers a comprehensive look at a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of space.

Secret Life of the City - How...

Hanna Hagen Bjørgaas

Come along on an informative, whirlwind tour of urban species and discover that you are surrounded by wild nature, even in your own backyard. 
 
 
 
When biologist Hanna Bjørgaas spots a fairy cup lichen in Antarctica, she is surprised to recognize it from her own backyard in Oslo. When she returns home, she embarks on a journey into urban nature, visiting city parks, cemeteries, and concrete rooftops to investigate the species that live in urban spaces. Along the way, she meets corvids, songbirds, ants, pigeons, bats, sparrows, fungi, and linden trees—and the experts who study their surprising abilities to survive, and thrive, in the city. 
 
 
 
As Bjørgaas discovers, urban nature—and its unique mixture of species that have never lived together before in Earth's history—is valuable. More than half of the world's human population lives in densely populated areas—and plants and animals have followed us into cities. Secret Life of the City invites us to pay more attention to the sounds, sights, and smells of urban nature right outside our door. 
 
 
 
A treasure trove of fascinating flora and fauna, this wonderful book offers a plea to save our city plants, animals, and fungi before we lose them, too.

Mighty Storms of New England -...

Eric P. Fisher

The New England landscape has long been battered by some of the most intense weather in the United States. The region breeds one of the highest concentrations of meteorologists in the country for a reason. One can experience just about anything except a dust storm. Snowstorms, floods, droughts, heat waves, arctic blasts, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other atmospheric oddities come and go with the changing seasons. Rare is the boring year of weather. 
 
 
 
Knowing the past is a critical part of understanding and forecasting the weather. Meteorologist Eric Fisher takes an in depth look at some of the most intense weather events in New England's history. The stories in this book not only describe the loss and the damage caused by the storms, but also how nearly all of them in left such an impression that they immediately led to progress where new warnings systems were implemented, government agencies formed, and technology accelerated in response to the devastation these events left behind.

A Brain for Innovation - The...

Min W. Jung

What sets humans apart from other animals? The accumulation of discoveries throughout history, big and small, has enabled us to build global civilizations and gain power to shape our environment. But what makes humans as a species so innovative? 
 
 
 
Min W. Jung offers a new understanding of the neural basis of innovation in terms of humans' exceptional capacity for imagination and high-level abstraction. He provides an engaging account of recent advances in neuroscience that have shed light on the neural underpinnings of these profoundly important abilities. Jung examines key discoveries concerning the hippocampus and neural circuits that have demystified the processes underlying imagination and abstract thinking. He also considers how these capacities might have evolved as well as possible futures for intelligence. 
 
 
 
Bringing together disparate findings in neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and artificial intelligence, A Brain for Innovation develops a unified perspective on the mechanisms of imagination, abstract thought, and creativity. Presenting cutting-edge neuroscientific research in a way that is accessible to listeners without a background in the subject, this book is essential for anyone interested in the biological basis of one of the most fundamental aspects of human nature.
