  James Webb Space Telescope The:...

  On April 24, 1990, the Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on the Space Shuttle Program’s 35th mission, but this was no ordinary mission. In its payload bay, Discovery was carrying the Hubble Space Telescope, with the objective of putting the telescope into orbit. 	The Hubble telescope, working in space less than 400 miles above the Earth’s surface, produced photos of galaxies previously unseen as they existed only 500 million years before the “Big Bang.” It was fortuitous that Hubble outlived its anticipated lifespan by many years, because the launch of its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, was delayed by 15 years.   
  	Several new obstacles delayed the launch, but NASA believed that it was finally prepared to proceed in 2020 after completion of construction four years prior. Then came the COVID pandemic, and 2020 became the year of “delayed events,” with the launch of the most sophisticated space telescope in history proving to be no exception.  
  	The increase in excitement was palpable. Scientists had viewed much of the universe through Hubble, almost as it was when it was formed, but they learned that none of these galaxies were the first ones formed. Then ultimately realized that “Hubble wasn’t the right instrument to detect those first galaxies.” “The farther we can see in space, the farther we can see in time…and that’s not a metaphor. That’s actually literally true,” explained scientist Amber Straughn. The Webb Space Telescope represents “looking in a part of space that we’ve never seen before.” The telescope will be able to detect the earliest galaxies because of its unparalleled sensitivity. Another factor is the kind of light it will collect, “light that our eyes aren’t designed to see.”

  From the renowned author of A Year in the Maine Woods, the intimate, thoughtful reflections of a lifetime spent observing the natural world. 
   
  For forty years, Bernd Heinrich has been ensconced in the woods of the northern, or boreal, forest, a vast sea of spruce, fir, and larch in the mountains of western Maine. All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the "common uncommon" of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. The Common Uncommon is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world–renowned naturalist.

  Did you know that lower oil prices are almost never passed on fairly to consumers at the pump? That oil companies sacrifice their own refineries? That they pay no taxes, manipulate information and collude to avoid competition?
  Every year, the announcement of profits by oil companies, especially Total, provokes reactions of admiration or indignation from French observers, experts and politicians. But what are these figures hiding? Thomas Porcher reveals eight scandalous practices by the gasoline giants. His aim—to encourage collective denunciation and vigilance, which alone will lead governments to act for the good of citizens.

  "Astrophysics and High Energy Physics – The Extremes of the Universe" explores the most extreme phenomena in the cosmos, delving into the physics of stars, high-energy particles, and the frontiers of theoretical physics. The study of stars uncovers the complex processes driving their formation, evolution, and eventual death, from the fusion occurring in their cores to the creation of supernovae and black holes. High-energy physics looks beyond the stars, examining the behavior of subatomic particles at immense energies, seeking to understand the fundamental forces that govern the universe. Theoretical physics plays a critical role, offering mathematical frameworks and models to explain phenomena that cannot yet be directly observed, such as dark matter, dark energy, and the early universe. 
  This book bridges these fascinating areas of physics, providing a comprehensive understanding of how the most energetic and extreme environments in the universe shape the very fabric of reality. From the birth of stars to the mysteries of quantum fields and particle accelerators, it brings together the latest discoveries and theories, inviting readers into the realm of astrophysics and high-energy phenomena. The knowledge gained through this text sheds light on the origins of our universe, the nature of matter, and the potential future of both cosmic and subatomic exploration.
