Angie Hong

The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
 
 
 
With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk.

From Big Bang to Black Holes -...

Dirk Fallon

The origins of the universe are a subject of profound scientific interest and philosophical debate. The most widely accepted explanation for the birth of the cosmos is the Big Bang Theory. According to this theory, the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point around 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity contained all of the matter and energy that would eventually form stars, galaxies, planets, and everything else that makes up the cosmos.
The event itself wasn’t an explosion in the traditional sense but a rapid expansion of space itself. Immediately following the Big Bang, the universe began to expand exponentially, a process known as cosmic inflation. During this phase, the universe grew from smaller than the size of an atom to a vast, nearly infinite expanse in an instant. The rapid expansion allowed matter and energy to cool, leading to the formation of elementary particles such as quarks, electrons, and neutrinos. As the universe continued to expand and cool, quarks combined to form protons and neutrons, which eventually led to the creation of simple atomic nuclei like hydrogen and helium.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the universe cooled enough for electrons to combine with protons and form neutral hydrogen atoms. This allowed light to travel freely, marking the beginning of what is known as the "cosmic dark ages." During this time, the universe was nearly invisible to the human eye, as light was scattered by free electrons. Eventually, gravity began to take hold, pulling matter together to form the first stars and galaxies.

Sustainability of Coatings

Anonymous

The Mission
This book explores how coatings contribute to global sustainability goals, going beyond performance optimisation to include life cycle assessment, emission categorisation, and the principles of circular economy. By linking chemical formulation, process engineering, and environmental responsibility, the book aims to redefine the role of coatings as active contributors to climate protection rather than passive materials of consumption.
The Audience
As a guide serves "Sustainability of Coatings" for formulation chemists, process engineers, R&D specialists, and decision-makers responsible for environmental strategies. Whether from academia or industry, readers will find both conceptual frameworks and practical methodologies for quantifying, comparing, and improving the ecological performance of coating systems – from raw material selection to end-of-life considerations.
The Value
Offering a holistic view of the coatings life cycle, the book bridges scientific knowledge and industrial practice. It empowers readers to apply life cycle analysis, understand emission scopes, and design coatings with lower carbon footprints while maintaining functional and aesthetic quality. Through detailed discussions on various coating types – solvent-based, water-borne, powder, and radiation-curable – it delivers actionable insights into how sustainability can align with efficiency and innovation.
Teasertext:
Sustainability is becoming a defining principle in coating technology. Sustainability of Coatings provides a clear and comprehensive overview of how ecological and carbon footprints shape the future of surface protection and design. From life cycle assessment and emission scopes to practical strategies for sustainable formulation and process optimization, this book connects environmental science with industrial application. A must-read for chemists, engineers, and decision-makers seeking to combine performance, efficiency, and climate responsibility in modern coating systems.
