Synopsis

Meteor Showers explores the fascinating world of these celestial displays, explaining their origins and the science behind their fiery passage through Earth's atmosphere. It answers how "shooting stars" form, why they're so visually stunning, and where they originate in space, bridging astronomy, atmospheric physics, and planetary science. The book emphasizes the cosmic origins and physical processes governing meteor showers, highlighting their importance in understanding the solar system's evolution and the composition of comets and asteroids, acting as natural probes delivering samples to our atmosphere.

 
Did you know that the color of a meteor is linked to its chemical composition? Or that studying meteors helps us understand the distribution of space debris? 

 
This book progresses logically, beginning with the basics of meteoroids and their parent bodies, supported by data from space missions. It then delves into the atmospheric physics involved as meteoroids burn up, using models and observational data. Finally, it examines specific meteor showers like the Perseids and Leonids, detailing their history and orbital characteristics. Presenting scientific findings in accessible language with diagrams and data visualizations, it avoids jargon to ensure comprehension across varying scientific backgrounds. Meteor Showers uniquely combines astronomical observations with atmospheric modeling for a comprehensive understanding.

    Deborah is a British First World War tank that rose from the grave after taking part in one of the most momentous battles in history. In November 1917, she played a leading role in the first successful massed tank attack at Cambrai. Eighty years later, in a remarkable feat of archaeology, the tank's buried remains were rediscovered and excavated, and are now preserved as a memorial to the battle and to the men who fought in it. John Taylor's book tells the tale of the tank and her crew and tracks down their descendants to uncover a human story every bit as compelling as the military one.

    Our age will be defined by the climate emergency. Contrary to the doomist narrative that's taken hold about the climate emergency, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it. On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. From the Chinese bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon Musk, to the Danish students who helped to build the world's longest-operating wind turbine, or the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to bend the emissions curve. 
     
     
     
    Through stories that bring people, policy and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable. This inspiring blend of business, science, and history provides the framework for ensuring that future generations can live in prosperity and that the wheels of progress don't falter.

    Humans once relied on the calls of wild animals to understand the natural world and their place within it. Now, this remarkable guide reveals what our ancestors knew long ago—that tuning in to the owl in the tree, the deer in the gully, can tell us important information and help us feel connected to our wild community. 
     
     
     
    In Eavesdropping on Animals, George Bumann shares the fascinating stories and insights he has gained from studying wildlife around the world for more than forty years, the last twenty of which have been spent leading popular programs on animal language and intelligence in Yellowstone National Park. Bumann shares tips, tricks, and advice for listeners living in urban, suburban, and rural areas and clearly shows us that you don't need an exotic vacation or a biology degree to have transformative wildlife encounters. Listening to and observing creatures in your own backyard, on nearby trails, and in local parks, seashores, fields, and forests can lead to extraordinary experiences and a profound sense of belonging. 
     
     
     
    Are you ready to eavesdrop on your wild neighbors? Are you ready to learn how to tell a warning call from a mating call, a purr of satisfaction from idle chatter? Then this book is for you!
