Sinossi

Permafrost Secrets explores the hidden world of thawing Arctic permafrost and its global implications. It reveals how this once-frozen ground contains a wealth of ancient organic matter, potentially viable microorganisms, and vast stores of greenhouse gases. As the Arctic warms at twice the global average, this thaw accelerates climate change through the release of methane and carbon dioxide, creating a dangerous feedback loop. 

 
The book examines permafrost from multiple angles, detailing its geological history, biological contents, and the practical risks of its degradation. One alarming insight is the potential re-emergence of ancient viruses, posing new threats to global health. Another is the increasing infrastructure damage in Arctic regions, disrupting communities and economies. 

 
Adopting an evidence-based approach, Permafrost Secrets synthesizes findings from geology, microbiology, and climatology to present a comprehensive picture. Beginning with a foundational understanding of permafrost, the book progresses through its composition, climate impacts, and associated risks, culminating in a call to action for scientists and policymakers.

    Kinesiology, the scientific study of human movement, is a multidisciplinary field that integrates principles from anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and neuroscience. It examines how the body moves, the forces that act upon it, and the underlying mechanisms that control movement. By understanding these principles, professionals in various fields, including physical therapy, sports science, and occupational therapy, can enhance human performance, prevent injuries, and improve rehabilitation strategies. 
    The origins of kinesiology date back to ancient civilizations, where scholars like Aristotle and Galen first explored the mechanics of movement. However, the field gained prominence in the 19th and 20th centuries as scientific advancements allowed for a deeper understanding of biomechanics and motor control. Today, kinesiology encompasses a vast range of topics, from the microscopic study of muscle fibers to large-scale analyses of athletic performance. 
    One of the core components of kinesiology is biomechanics, which applies the principles of physics and engineering to study how forces influence movement. Biomechanics helps explain how the body maintains balance, generates power, and absorbs impact. For example, analyzing the gait cycle of a runner can reveal inefficiencies that may lead to injuries. By optimizing movement patterns, biomechanics contributes to improving athletic performance and developing assistive technologies such as prosthetics and orthotics.

    In May 2018 NASA called a press conference to announce the successful test-run of their tiny nuclear reactor KRUSTY (Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology). This revolutionary technology, which runs on heat alone, may have profound consequences for the future of mankind, enabling us to maintain permanent bases on the Moon, on Mars, and other planets, and eventually power a starship. On earth too it could have enormous benefits as a new way to generate power at a time when climate change is threatening our very existence. 
     
     
     
    This book is the amazing story behind this invention, which began with Robert Stirling's original designs for a heat exchange engine in 1816. An invention truly ahead of its time, the practical application of the Stirling Engine has taxed the minds of scientists and inventors for almost 200 years. Only now is it possible for its full potential to be realized. Phillip Hills weaves science and history together to tell the story of one of the most exciting scientific developments the world has ever seen.

    The Hidden Cosmos - Dark...

    Dark matter is one of the most intriguing and elusive subjects in modern astrophysics, captivating the minds of scientists and enthusiasts alike. It represents a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Despite its invisible nature, dark matter exerts gravitational influence on visible matter, affecting the behavior of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe. 
    The concept of dark matter originated from astronomical observations that could not be explained by visible matter alone. Early studies of the rotational speeds of galaxies revealed that stars at the edges of galaxies were moving much faster than expected based on the mass of visible stars and gas. This anomaly led to the hypothesis that an unseen mass was responsible for the additional gravitational pull. As a result, dark matter is thought to make up about 85 percent of the total matter in the universe, profoundly influencing the formation and evolution of galaxies. 
    Scientific research on dark matter has involved numerous observational and theoretical studies. Researchers have relied on indirect methods to study this mysterious substance, such as analyzing the gravitational lensing effect, where the gravity of dark matter bends the light from distant objects. This effect not only provides evidence of dark matter's presence but also offers insights into its distribution across the cosmos. The study of cosmic microwave background radiation, the afterglow of the Big Bang, further supports the existence of dark matter by revealing fluctuations that can be linked to its gravitational effects in the early universe.
