Sinopse

"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.

The Social Genome - The New...

Dalton Conley

A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
 
 
 
Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
 
 
 
The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

Imminent Domains - Reckoning...

Alessandra Naccarato

Imminent Domains: Reckoning with the Anthropocene invites readers to join a contemplation of survival—our own, and that of the elements that surround us. Using research, lyric prose, and first-hand experiences, Alessandra Naccarato addresses fundamental questions about our modern relationship to nature amidst depictions of landscapes undergoing dramatic transformation.
We trace the veins of harm, memory and meaning amongst ecosystems and bioregions; through history and across continents, from the mines of Cerro Rico to the ruins of Pompeii. Arranged by five central elements of survival—earth, fire, water, air and spirit—these essays refute linearity, just as nature does.
Naccarato offers not blanket answers about our future, but rather myriad ways to find our own, individual response to an imminent question. We are being called to work together; to dig a trench deep and wide enough that the fires around us might stay at bay. How do we turn towards the fire?
