Sinossi

Planetary Rings explores the captivating science behind the rings of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter. These aren't just beautiful ornaments; they are dynamic systems offering invaluable insights into planet and Solar System formation. The book investigates their composition, formation theories—from disrupted moons to captured debris—and dynamics using data from missions like Voyager and Cassini.

 
Did you know that understanding ring structures helps us infer past cosmic events like collisions? Or that the presence of water ice in rings is relevant to discussions about potential habitability in icy moons? The book provides accessible explanations of celestial mechanics, gravitational interactions, and material properties needed to understand ring systems.

 
It progresses logically, starting with the discovery and basic characteristics of planetary rings, then examining individual ring systems and the forces shaping them, and finally delving into theoretical models of ring formation. By integrating observations from space missions with theoretical models, Planetary Rings connects ring studies to astrophysics, planetary geology, and even astrobiology.

 
This unique perspective sheds light on how ring analysis refines models of planet formation. Ongoing debates, such as the age of Saturn's rings and the role of embedded moonlets, are also addressed, making this book a valuable resource for students, amateur astronomers, and anyone interested in space science.

    Terrible Beauty - Reckoning with...

    Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. 
     
     
     
    The problem is, none of this—whether individual efforts or corporate sustainability tactics—will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change. We only pretend it will, at our peril. 
     
     
     
    As Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth is that much of the modern environmental road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. But there is another truth: while ineffective or duplicitous environmentalism has become standard practice, we all have friends and family we love and care about, whose future depends on solving the problem of climate change. Conscience tells us we have an obligation to repair the world. How can our common dreams be so at odds with our daily practice? And how might we meld our spirit and our passion to create a better future?

    Not quite land and not quite water, boglands have long been dismissed as wastelands. Come closer and a strange truth emerges: These wild, eerie landscapes stretch our minds, hold the history of humanity, and will shape the future of our planet. In Bogland, acclaimed ecologist Merritt R. Turetsky invites listeners to discover the elusive magic and surprising power of these misunderstood places, where the boundaries blur between life and death, past and present, refuge and peril. 
     
    Venturing from the boreal forests of Canada to the jungles of Borneo, and from the planet's oldest bog in Greece to some of its newest in Greenland, Turetsky unveils bogs as marvelous paradoxes that defy categorization and their own systemic undervaluation. Here, radical life forms spring from layers upon layers of dead matter. The past and present commingle with uncanny intimacy as peat safeguards artifacts for centuries, along with ancient lives unearthed later as "bog bodies" so remarkably preserved they are sometimes mistaken for the recently missing. Proverbially dangerous, bogs have offered shelter throughout history to the marginalized and resistance movements from Virginia to Vietnam. They also regulate the planet's climate, sequestering nearly one-third of Earth's soil carbon while covering just 3 percent of its surface—even as accelerating exploitation risks transforming them from climate allies to climate foes, and erasing these ecosystems just as we’re learning to appreciate them. 
     
    The debut of an extraordinary nature writer, Bogland is an ode and a call to action: to defend bogs' strangeness and stillness from rising destruction, to value them for their refusal to conform, and to learn from them new ways to adapt, endure, and belong on our changing planet—before it's too late.

    A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
     
     
     
    From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
     
     
     
    Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.
