Sinopse

In "Is Mars Habitable?", Alfred Russel Wallace embarks on an intriguing exploration of the possibility of life on the Red Planet. Published during the late 19th century, a period marked by burgeoning scientific inquiry and the dawn of modern evolutionary thought, Wallace employs a blend of empirical observation and philosophical speculation. His literary style is marked by clarity and logical progression, as he systematically examines the implications of atmospheric conditions, potential habitats, and the evolutionary viability of Martian organisms. By situating his argument within the broader context of natural history and contemporary scientific debates, Wallace challenges readers to contemplate not only the existence of extraterrestrial life but also the limits of human understanding in an ever-expanding universe. Alfred Russel Wallace, a renowned naturalist and contemporaneous to Charles Darwin, played a pivotal role in developing the theory of evolution through natural selection. His extensive travels to the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago introduced him to diverse ecosystems, fostering a profound interest in the living conditions required for life. This background informs his inquiry into Martian habitability, as he deftly navigates the intersections of biology, geology, and climate science, rooted in his deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of life. "Is Mars Habitable?" is an essential read for enthusiasts of astrobiology, evolutionary theory, and the historical context of scientific thought. Wallace's thought-provoking arguments and meticulous approach invite readers to ponder humanity's place in the cosmos while appreciating the challenges of interplanetary exploration. This book remains a timeless contribution to the ongoing quest to understand life beyond Earth.

    The Philosophy of Social Ecology...

    What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. In the essays of The Philosophy of Social Ecology, Murray Bookchin confronts these questions head on: invoking the ideas of mutualism, self-organization, and unity in diversity, in the service of ever expanding freedom. 
     
     
     
    Refreshingly polemical and deeply philosophical, these essays take issue with technocratic and mechanistic ways of understanding and relating to, and within, nature. More importantly, they develop a solid, historically and politically based ethical foundation for social ecology, the field that Bookchin himself created and that offers us hope in the midst of our climate catastrophe.

    The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
     
    “Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
     
    As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
     
    With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.

    As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
     
     
     
    Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
     
     
     
    ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
     
     
     
    ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
     
     
     
    ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?
