Sinopse

Fusion Energy Potential explores the exciting possibility of replicating the power of stars to create a clean and virtually limitless energy source here on Earth. The book delves into the core physics of nuclear fusion, detailing how light atomic nuclei can combine to release vast amounts of energy. One intriguing fact is that fusion power plants would not produce long-lived radioactive waste, a significant advantage over current nuclear fission reactors. This exploration covers the leading technological approaches to achieving fusion, such as magnetic confinement (using devices like tokamaks and stellarators) and inertial confinement (using lasers). It highlights the significant engineering challenges involved in creating and sustaining fusion reactions, including developing materials that can withstand extreme temperatures. The book progresses from explaining the basic physics to examining the social, economic, and environmental impacts of fusion energy, emphasizing its potential role in combating climate change and ensuring energy security. The book uniquely balances a comprehensive overview of fusion energy with accessible explanations suitable for a broad audience, including those without an advanced physics background. Fusion Energy Potential also draws from global research and experimental data, offering insights into the progress being made and emphasizing that fusion, while complex, represents a technologically plausible path to a sustainable energy future.

Beyond Measure - The Hidden...

James Vincent

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.

The Shadow Universe - Exploring...

Dirk Fallon

For most of human history, the night sky was a mystery filled with countless stars twinkling in the darkness. Ancient civilizations saw patterns in the stars and used them to guide their calendars, stories, and navigation. Yet, behind those points of light lay something even more vast and perplexing—the dark space between them. It wasn't until the development of modern astronomy that scientists began to seriously consider what might exist in the dark regions of the universe. At first, darkness was assumed to be simply empty space, a void where no stars or planets resided. But as our tools improved and our questions deepened, we started to understand that darkness in the cosmos holds far more meaning than we originally thought.
The idea that the universe might be filled with something unseen first gained traction in the early 20th century. Astronomers like Fritz Zwicky noticed strange behaviors in galaxy clusters. When calculating the mass of these clusters based on the visible matter, the numbers didn’t add up. Galaxies were moving too fast to be held together by gravity from the matter we could see. Zwicky proposed the existence of "dunkle Materie" or dark matter—something invisible but exerting gravitational pull. This was one of the first scientific suggestions that dark space might not be empty at all, but rather filled with mysterious forces and substances.
At the same time, other areas of study began to reveal more about what darkness might mean in a cosmological context. Observations of cosmic microwave background radiation showed that the universe had a very specific structure after the Big Bang, influenced by matter both visible and invisible. These early echoes from the origin of the universe suggested a cosmic framework shaped in part by things we couldn't directly detect. The darkness, once thought to be empty, was influencing the evolution of everything we could see.

Geratology - Understanding Old...

Mike Crawford

Geratology is the scientific study of aging, encompassing its biological, psychological, and social dimensions. While often confused with geriatrics, which focuses on medical care for older adults, geratology takes a broader approach, examining aging as a lifelong process that affects individuals and societies in complex ways. Understanding geratology is crucial as global life expectancy rises and aging populations reshape economic, healthcare, and social structures. 
The origins of geratology trace back to early philosophical and medical inquiries into longevity. Ancient Greek and Roman scholars explored aging as a natural phenomenon, while modern scientific advancements have provided deeper insights into the mechanisms of aging. Over the past century, geratology has evolved into an interdisciplinary field, drawing from biology, psychology, sociology, and public health to analyze how people age and how societies can better support aging populations. 
At its core, geratology investigates the biological changes that occur with age. These include cellular senescence, genetic factors, and the gradual decline of organ function. Research into longevity has uncovered key processes such as telomere shortening, oxidative stress, and the role of inflammation in age-related diseases. While aging is an inevitable process, scientific advancements continue to explore ways to slow its progression and improve quality of life in later years.

Understanding the Heart -...

Stephen Hussey

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the world. Despite ever-advancing medical procedures and more powerful pharmaceutical drugs, the rate of heart disease continues to rise. According to Dr. Stephen Hussey, this is due in part to misunderstandings about how the heart really functions and how to keep it healthy. These misunderstandings result in improper medical approaches and off-target intervention therapies. As a type 1 diabetic, Dr. Hussey has always known that he was at two to four times greater risk of developing heart disease. As a result, he has dedicated his entire adult life to understanding the heart, to prevent himself from becoming a statistic. And then his worst nightmare came true. Dr. Hussey suffered a “STEMI,” a blockage in the left anterior descending artery of his heart. STEMIs are typically so fatal that they are known as “widowmakers.” Only twelve percent of those who experience them outside of a hospital setting survive. Dr. Hussey was among the lucky twelve percent, but faced a difficult decision during his recovery: follow the standard of care laid out for him by the attending cardiologist or politely decline and apply everything he’d learned about the heart to a recovery protocol that would look massively different than what the doctors were recommending. In Understanding the Heart, Dr. Hussey shares the information that guided him through the highest-stakes decision of his life.
