Summary

"Lava Flows" explores the fascinating world of molten rock, detailing how lava shapes our planet's surface. It delves into the science behind lava's movement, volcanic eruptions, and their lasting impact. The book reveals how understanding lava flows is crucial for predicting volcanic hazards and comprehending Earth's geological evolution. For instance, the book examines how different lava types, like pāhoehoe and ʻaʻā, create unique volcanic landforms, and how lava's viscosity and chemical composition affect eruption styles. This book uniquely integrates cutting-edge volcanology research with accessible explanations, connecting it to broader fields like environmental and planetary science. It presents information drawn from field observations, lab experiments, and remote sensing data, providing a holistic view of lava flow dynamics. Beginning with lava's fundamental properties, the book progresses through eruption types and lava flow mechanics, culminating in an examination of lava's long-term impact on Earth's surface.

Starved for Light - The Long...

Christian Warren

A wide-ranging history of rickets tracks the disease’s emergence, evolution, and eventual treatment—and exposes the backstory behind contemporary worries about vitamin D deficiency. Rickets, a childhood disorder that causes soft and misshapen bones, transformed from an ancient but infrequent threat to a common scourge during the Industrial Revolution. Factories, mills, and urban growth transformed the landscape. Malnutrition and insufficient exposure to sunlight led to severe cases of rickets across Europe and the United States, affecting children in a variety of settings: dim British cities and American slave labor camps, moneyed households and impoverished ones. By the late 1800s, it was one of the most common pediatric diseases, seemingly an intractable consequence of modern life. Starved for Light offers the first comprehensive history of this disorder. Tracing the efforts to understand, prevent, and treat rickets—first with the traditional remedy of cod liver oil, then with the application of a breakthrough corrective, industrially produced vitamin D supplements—Christian Warren places the disease at the center of a riveting medical history, one alert to the ways society shapes our views on illness. 
 

Sweeping and engaging, Starved for Light illuminates the social conditions underpinning our cures and our choices, helping us to see history’s echoes in contemporary prescriptions.

On the Origin of Species

Charles Darwin

"There is grandeur in this view of life."

In 1859, Charles Darwin published a book that would forever alter the course of human thought. On the Origin of Species introduced the world to the concept of Natural Selection—the process by which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Moving away from the static view of nature, Darwin presented a world of constant, slow, and magnificent transformation.

The Mechanism of Life: Through decades of meticulous observation—from the beak shapes of Galápagos finches to the breeding of domestic pigeons—Darwin laid out a compelling case for how biological diversity arises. He explains how favorable traits are preserved over generations, allowing species to fill specific niches in their environment.

A Masterpiece of Scientific Logic: Despite the controversy it initially sparked, On the Origin of Species is written with remarkable clarity and humility. Darwin anticipates and addresses the potential objections of his contemporaries, grounding his revolutionary ideas in overwhelming evidence from geology, embryology, and paleontology. It remains not just a textbook of biology, but a beautifully written tribute to the interconnectedness of all living things.

Explore the foundation of your own history. Purchase "On the Origin of Species" today and witness the dawn of modern biology.

The Cardiac Fulcrum in the...

Jorge Trainini

"Since the publication of Fundamentals of the New Cardiac Mechanics: The Suction Pump, ten years ago, there has been a productive succession of studies and research by these brilliant scientists who expanded the knowledge of cardiac mechanics and the myocardial muscle structures and bands. They found the presence of an osseous or cartilaginous tissue, which they called the cardiac fulcrum, where the myocardial bands begin and end, it serves as support for the entire system; they also documented the finding of the lubrication of the entire muscular framework of the heart.
This knowledge enriches our understanding about the anatomy, physiology, and mechanical contraction of the heart, and thanks to the results, better treatments for heart failure are made possible. Until now, cardiologists explained heart contraction and its failures with the Frank-Starling Law (or simply the Starling Law); now, these new concepts of myocardial torsion and detorsion have been introduced, and the consequent protodiastolic suction through the contraction of sectors that contribute to the detorsion and active expansion of the ventricular cavities, generating an aspirating movement of the blood and a three-phase cardiac cycle. Furthermore, they explain the loss of the ventricles' aspirating capacity due to their dilation, when part of the myocardial torsion and detorsion is lost, and consequently, the heart's efficiency as a pump. I am truly convinced that these findings have opened up great lines of research for the future understanding of heart failure" (Dr. Pedro Cossio).
