Sinopsis

Asteroid Impact explores the Earth-shattering event that led to the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, forever altering life on our planet. This book examines the geological and paleontological evidence surrounding the asteroid impact that occurred roughly 66 million years ago. The book highlights how the discovery of iridium anomalies and shocked quartz were initial key pieces of evidence that supported the asteroid impact theory. It also shows how this single event drastically altered the environment, leading to widespread species extinction and influencing the course of evolution.

 
The book progresses by first establishing a historical context, followed by an examination of physical evidence, including the Chicxulub crater and impact debris. It then synthesizes data from various scientific disciplines, such as Earth sciences and planetary science, to provide a comprehensive overview. The book explains how the Chicxulub impact served as the primary catalyst for the extinction event, causing long-lasting changes in Earth's biodiversity and geological structures.

 
Through visualizations and accessible explanations, it offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal moment in Earth's history.

    Unfinished Concrete: An Audio-Anthology of Miami Voices is a collection of poems, stories, micro-essays, and conversations that speak to and from Miami’s neighborhoods—each one a unique place with its own sounds, sights, and rhythms. The storytellers in this anthology grapple with the complexity that comes from a lifetime in a place and all the attending struggles and victories—the deep love and unspeakable sorrow—the well-worn aches and the inveterate joys. While the result is a rich narrative of the current moment in Miami-Dade county, these stories speak, too, of the personal and structural histories that have led to this moment, to these stories and experiences. In this way, the individual stories in Unfinished Concrete manage to piece together a mosaic of Miami that speaks to an authentic lived experience. 
    About the Publisher: 
    O, Miami builds community around the power of poetry. Through collaborations, projects, events, and publications, we create a platform for amplifying Miami’s voices, investing in a new shared narrative of our city and a more equitable picture of its future.

    Carl R. Trueman and Other Christian Evangelical Scholars Examine the Life and Work of Renowned Catholic, Social Conservative Thinker Robert P. George
    Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, is one of the most influential conservative intellectuals of his generation. Among many honors and accolades, George received the US Presidential Citizens Medal from President George W. Bush and served as chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Though a Catholic himself, George's influence has transcended traditional religious categories to shape evangelical discourse on politics, ethics, and political philosophy throughout his career. 
    In this thorough introduction and careful analysis of George's work for Protestant audiences, editor Andrew T. Walker gathers essays from high profile evangelical writers and academics—including Carl R. Trueman, Hunter Baker, Jennifer Marshall Patterson, and Scott Klusendorf—to explore subjects such as faith and reason, George's New Natural Law theory, and how to collaborate across ideological lines. Social Conservatism for the Common Good helps Christian evangelicals understand George's philosophy and apply it to their own cultural engagement and public witness.
    
    - Biography of Influential Conservative Scholar Robert P. George: Explores the breadth of his political philosophy and activism, as well as his relevance to the evangelical community
