Lost Fossils

Sinopsis

Lost Fossils explores a hidden side of paleontology: the disappearance of crucial fossils due to theft, misplacement, or concealment. This book argues that these losses distort our understanding of evolutionary history and the Earth's past. It sheds light on how human factors, such as scientific ambition and historical events, have impacted the fossil record. Imagine, for instance, how the disappearance of a key early hominid fossil could alter our interpretation of human evolution.

 
The book progresses by first defining what constitutes a "lost fossil" and the reasons for their disappearance. Then, it investigates specific cases, like the alleged theft of dinosaur specimens from Mongolia. Finally, it explores the wider implications of these losses on our knowledge of evolution, biogeography, and paleoclimatology.

 
This approach highlights the precarious nature of fossil preservation and the need for better documentation. By connecting Earth sciences, geography, and history, Lost Fossils offers a unique perspective on the human element in paleontological discoveries.

On the Future - Prospects for...

Martin Rees

This audiobook narrated by Martin Rees and Samuel West offers a provocative and inspiring look at the future of humanity and science

Humanity has reached a critical moment. Our world is unsettled and rapidly changing, and we face existential risks over the next century. Various outcomes—good and bad—are possible. Yet our approach to the future is characterized by short-term thinking, polarizing debates, alarmist rhetoric, and pessimism. In this short, exhilarating book, renowned scientist and bestselling author Martin Rees argues that humanity's prospects depend on our taking a very different approach to planning for tomorrow.

The future of humanity is bound to the future of science and hinges on how successfully we harness technological advances to address our challenges. If we are to use science to solve our problems while avoiding its dystopian risks, we must think rationally, globally, collectively, and optimistically about the long term. Advances in biotechnology, cybertechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence—if pursued and applied wisely—could empower us to boost the developing and developed world and overcome the threats humanity faces on Earth, from climate change to nuclear war. At the same time, further advances in space science will allow humans to explore the solar system and beyond with robots and AI. But there is no "Plan B" for Earth—no viable alternative within reach if we do not care for our home planet.

Rich with fascinating insights into cutting-edge science and technology, this accessible book will captivate anyone who wants to understand the critical issues that will define the future of humanity on Earth and beyond.

Harness It - Renewable Energy...

Michael Ginsberg

Following an overview of the technical and historical development of the electric grid in the U.S. and Europe, this guide reviews hydropower, solar photovoltaics, wind energy, fuel cell, and battery technologies. The author also presents models for the connection of these renewable energy sources from large-scale to on-site and community power/microgrids. The models are explained through case studies in the developed and developing worlds that explore how technical evaluations are conducted, policy incentives implemented, and project finance applied.Considering the increasing importance of renewable energy for climate change mitigation, this book provides an overview of how renewable energy sources are integrated into the grid to promote better understanding among students and business professionals in the utility sector and across industries. Most literature on grid interconnection is highly technical, assuming an in-depth understanding of electrical engineering. With the rise of clean technologies and the diversity of interconnection models, this guide fills a gap in the existing literature by equipping non-technical business managers with the salient information they need to make critical decisions for their organizations.
