Synopsis

Living Materials explores the exciting potential of integrating living organisms and biological processes into material science, offering solutions to issues of sustainability and performance. This emerging field promises self-repairing structures and buildings that grow, moving beyond the limitations of traditional materials. Imagine bio-concrete buildings and self-repairing pipelines becoming commonplace, greatly reducing our reliance on resource-intensive manufacturing. The book traces the development of bio-materials and their applications in Growing Structures, Living Infrastructure, and Designing with Biology. It highlights how biotechnology is being used for environmental remediation, such as in bio-filtration systems, and also examines the integration of living systems into design, for example, bio-luminescent lighting. One intriguing area covered is the potential for Living Materials to revolutionize construction through bio-printed buildings, showcasing a blend of biology and architecture. The book provides a structured overview, beginning with fundamental concepts and progressing through real-world applications, ethical considerations, and future directions. By presenting research, case studies, and expert interviews, it bridges the gap between current scientific understanding and the transformative possibilities of bio-integrated design, making it valuable for anyone interested in sustainable development and the future of materials science.

    Are we alone in the universe? It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars—especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars—a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction. 
     
     
     
    Steffen offers a unique, inside account of the work of the Kepler science team (and the sometimes chaotic interactions among team members), mapping the progress of the mission from the launch of the rocket that carried Kepler into space to the revelations of the data that began to flow to the supercomputer back at NASA—evidence of strange new worlds unlike anything found in our own solar system.

    Forgotten Forests: Twelve...

    Ancient trees, some over a thousand years old, are dotted around the British Isles, the last survivors of a lost world. Now, new scientific studies of these trees and of fossilised forests and of our oldest wooden artifacts can help us to understand the many woodlands that have disappeared from our landscapes. 
    Locked in ice for more than twenty thousand years, the lands that now make up Britain and Ireland were some of the last settled by humans. The earliest people, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers like Cheddar Man, arrived around eleven thousand years ago to find dense forests. While they lived lightly, they did introduce fire, which they used to create clearings, and this was the beginning of the reshaping of Britain’s forests. 
    When Neolithic farmers migrated to Britain from Europe some six thousand years ago, it meant a violent end to the hunter-gatherers’ way of life. It also indicated a dramatic change for the ecosystems. Forests were cleared for fields, trees and plants fed to livestock and predators hunted. A wild, forested world became one of agriculture and villages. 
    As humans learned to work bronze, then iron, they also used wood in myriad ways, building homes, then cathedrals, hand tools then furniture and early machines, boats and eventually immense ships. The forests of Britain and Ireland fuelled the burgeoning human civilisation, from the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings and Normans, to the British, Scottish, Welsh and Irish peoples through to the present day. In that time our woodlands have changed beyond recognition, but clues to their story remain. Biologist and Britain’s first senior officer for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Jonathan Mullard retraces the history of the forgotten forests of Britain and Ireland, piecing together historical records going as far back as the written word and archaeological evidence going back far further. The result is a wealth of arcane anecdotes and the latest scientific understanding of our natural history, as well as a fascinating journey through the forests, landscapes and human history of Britain. 
    From Mesolithic clearings to Neolithic fields and the shipbuilding empires that followed, this non-fiction journey through nature shows how ecology and habitats were transformed across Britain and Ireland. Along the way, Mullard’s account reaches beyond familiar woodlands to the wider story of forests as living systems—complex habitats whose ecology still shapes the landscapes we inherit today. 
    For fans of Tristan Gooley (How To Read Water), Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), Adam Weymouth (Kings of the Yukon), Jo Woolf (The Great Horizon), and Rough Guides (The Rough Guide to Morocco).
