  An extraordinary view of the wild horse bands in the Rockies' Pryor Mountains like you've never seen before, Wild Stallions of the Rockies chronicles the life of the leader stallion, Cloud (1995-2016). This remarkable account details his reign among the wild horse herds in the Rockies, as well as both his immediate family band and rival bands that occupy the same region on the Montana-Wyoming border. You'll see the predators, both human and animal, that challenge the stallions' survival, plus the fighting between bands for power, family, and territory. Phenomenal photography gives you an up close and personal look at the feeding, foaling, and freedom of these wild horses, and interactive QR codes grant you access to exclusive and stunning video from its companion PBS Nature documentary series, Cloud: Challenge of the Stallions.

  When Robert Zubrin published his classic book The Case for Mars a quarter century ago, setting foot on the Red Planet seemed a fantasy. Today, manned exploration is certain, and as Zubrin affirms in The New World on Mars, so too is colonization. 
   
   
   
  We will settle on Mars, and with our knowledge of the planet, analyzed in depth by Dr. Zubrin, we will utilize the resources and tackle the challenges that await us. What we will we build? Populous Martian city-states producing air, water, food, power, and more. Zubrin's Martian economy will pay for necessary imports and generate income from varied enterprises, such as real estate sales—homes that are airtight and protect against cosmic space radiation, with fish-farm aquariums positioned overhead, letting in sunlight and blocking cosmic rays while providing fascinating views. Zubrin even predicts the Red Planet customs, social relations, and government that will overcome traditional forms of oppression to draw Earth immigrants. 
   
    
   
  With all of this in place, Zubrin's Red Planet will become a pressure cooker for invention, benefiting humans on Earth, Mars, and beyond. We can create this magnificent future, making life better, less fatalistic. The New World on Mars proves that there is no point killing each other over provinces and limited resources when, together, we can create planets.

  Plasma Physics - Exploring the...

  Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, is a unique and dynamic state in which gas is ionized, allowing free electrons and ions to coexist. Unlike solids, liquids, and gases, plasma exhibits collective behavior due to long-range electromagnetic interactions among its charged particles. It is the most abundant form of matter in the universe, making up stars, the interstellar medium, and even artificial applications on Earth. 
  The concept of plasma dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when scientists first began studying ionized gases. The term "plasma" was coined in 1928 by Irving Langmuir while researching electrical discharges in gases. Since then, plasma physics has evolved into a vast field, influencing multiple scientific and technological disciplines, including astrophysics, nuclear fusion, space exploration, and industrial applications. 
  One of the defining characteristics of plasma is its ability to conduct electricity and respond to magnetic fields. Unlike neutral gases, where collisions dominate particle interactions, plasmas are governed by electromagnetic forces, leading to complex behaviors such as waves, instabilities, and turbulence. This property allows plasmas to sustain structures like magnetospheres around planets and controlled fusion reactors designed for energy production.

  This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle

  The Coming Storm - Why water...

  Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the twenty-first century than the competition for oil or gas.
  The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead: that is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing compared to what they will do for the most vital natural resource of all.
  As both a citizen who has supported water charities and worked in the NHS and a politician who has dealt with security and economic issues, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns that are often written about separately but seldom together and provides a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.
