Summary

“Deep Ice Cores” reveals the vital role that frozen archives play in understanding Earth's climate history and predicting future changes. Scientists drill into Antarctic and Arctic ice sheets to extract ice cores, which contain trapped air and ice composition from centuries past. These cores offer a tangible record of atmospheric conditions, allowing us to reconstruct past temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations.

 
Intriguingly, analyzing the isotopic composition of the ice enables researchers to pinpoint past volcanic activity and understand natural climate variability. The book argues that ice cores provide the most direct and comprehensive record of past atmospheric conditions. It guides readers through the process of ice core research, from formation and dating techniques to analytical methods.

 
Key periods in Earth's history, like glacial-interglacial cycles, are explored alongside significant findings from projects like the Vostok and EPICA cores. This data is then used to validate climate models and inform climate policy.

 
The book uniquely combines detailed scientific explanations with accessible language, making complex concepts understandable for a broad audience. It emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate change and empowers readers to understand the scientific basis of climate predictions.

 
The book progresses logically, building from foundational knowledge to in-depth data analysis and policy implications.

    Love Your Mother - 50 States 50...

    From elder voices opposing the Dakota Pipeline to young people running for office to advocate for change, every day we see real-life stories about how women are making a collective difference on climate justice. Women are also disproportionately impacted by climate change and thus are critical to transforming society away from dependence on fossil fuels and toward renewable energy and environmental equity. 
 
 
 
As a mother and a professor of environmental education, Mallory McDuff wanted to give her two daughters and her students a roadmap to engage in climate justice in their communities, rather than be left feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the problem. She set out to find women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and vocations—one from each of the fifty US states—as inspiration for a new kind of leadership focused on the heart of the climate crisis. Love Your Mother lifts up the stories of these women working toward a viable future, from farmer and rancher Donna Kilpatrick in Arkansas to writer Latria Graham in South Carolina. 
 
 
 
From Alabama to Alaska, from Wisconsin to Wyoming, these women are poets, physicians, climate scientists, students, farmers, writers, documentary filmmakers, and more. Their work lights the way for conversation and collective action in our homes and in the world. It's time we follow their lead.

    The body is central to our sense of identity. Bodily awareness, says scientist-writer Moheb Costandi, is key to self-consciousness. In Body Am I, Costandi examines how the brain perceives the body, how that perception translates into our conscious experience of the body, and how that experience contributes to our sense of self. Along the way, he explores what can happen when the mechanisms of bodily awareness are disturbed, leading to such phenomena as phantom limbs, alien hands, and amputee fetishes. 
 
 
  
Costandi explains that the brain generates maps and models of the body that guide how we perceive and use it, and that these maps and models are repeatedly modified and reconstructed. Drawing on recent bodily awareness research, the new science of self-consciousness, and historical milestones in neurology, he describes a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders that result when body and brain are out of sync, including not only the well-known phantom limb syndrome but also phantom breast and phantom penis syndromes; body integrity identity disorder, which compels a person to disown and then amputate a healthy arm or leg; and such eating disorders as anorexia. 
 
 
  
Wide-ranging and meticulously researched, Body Am I offers new insight into self-consciousness by describing it in terms of bodily awareness.
