Space Time Basics

Summary

Space Time Basics explores the revolutionary concepts of relativity, examining how our understanding of space, time, and gravity has evolved. It highlights how space and time are not independent but are woven together into spacetime, a flexible fabric influenced by mass and energy, impacting everything from light to galaxies. This book explains complex ideas like time dilation and length contraction, showing how they challenge classical physics and underpin modern cosmology. The book begins with special relativity, explaining how the speed of light is constant for all observers, leading to mind-bending effects on time and space. It then moves into general relativity, where gravity isn't a force but a curvature of spacetime. Real-world evidence, such as the bending of starlight and the detection of gravitational waves, supports these theories. Understanding these concepts is crucial, as relativity influences technologies like GPS and provides insight into astrophysical phenomena like black holes. Space Time Basics aims to make these complex physics concepts accessible by grounding them in tangible examples and observational data. It seeks to demystify relativity for students and enthusiasts alike, presenting verified information and logical reasoning. The book progresses systematically, building from foundational principles to the implications of relativity for understanding the universe and its expansion.

Ossman & Steel's Classic...

Jake Richards

A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil.Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

Social Capital: Life online in...

Aoife Barry

A David and Goliath story about Ireland’s role as prime real estate for the world’s largest tech multinationals, and the considerable impact it has had on us as individuals.
At the start of the millennium, the Tech giants landed on Ireland’s shores. Dublin, once one of Europe’s poorest cities, became a beacon of Silicon Valley’s promise of progress and power. As the face of the capital was remade in the image of Big Tech, Irish society embraced technology like no other. Romantic Ireland was dead and gone: social media was here to stay.
In this provocative account, Aoife Barry explores the human cost of Ireland’s Faustian pact with Big Tech, from the local communities uprooted by Google to the traumatised moderators squirrelled in the capital’s pockets, keeping the internet safe at a terrible price. Unsettling, insightful, and wryly funny, she paints a portrait of a country addicted to the internet, refreshing the news, refreshing Twitter, scrolling and scrolling towards a feverish future. She turns an equally honest eye on her own life online, from her humble beginnings using dial-up in her parent’s kitchen to working for Ireland’s first digital-only newsroom, and asks what we bargain in exchange for life in the metaverse.
Social Capital is the coming of age story of Ireland 3.0: set against the backdrop of the tech revolution, it chronicles how we collapse the boundary between physical and virtual reality, and where we might go from here.
Barry's new book, Social Capital, is a popular science exploration into the world of computers and information technology. It's a top pick for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, economics, and the latest developments in the tech industry.
For fans of Bill Gifford (Ledyard), Britney Spears (The woman in me), Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Bono (Surrender), and Ian H. Robertson (How Confidence Works).

Demin Remin in Preventive...

PhD Robert L. Karlinsey

Despite significant progress in the management of oral health, tooth decay remains stubbornly widespread and resilient. Complicating this further, there remain gaps in clinical use and knowledge involving fluoride and remineralization therapies. To help address these problems, Demin/Remin in Preventive Dentistry explores demineralization and remineralization processes by synthesizing a variety of data and research to produce a fresh perspective from one who has devoted significant effort to improving remineralization therapies in preventive dentistry. 
The source material for this book is fairly diverse, with more than 900 references called forth from various fields of study, including medicine, dentistry, chemistry, biology, materials science, food science, along with reports and articles from journalists, and nonprofit and government organizations. Divided into 10 distinct chapters, the topics discussed include oral bacteria, foods and drinks, acids, pH, sound and demineralized enamel structure, dental therapeutics used throughout history, fluoride and various fluoride formats (including toothpastes, varnishes and more), calcium phosphate systems, remineralization processes, and perspectives related to minimally invasive dentistry. 
Global tooth decay remains a major socioeconomic burden, commanding the need for improved oral health strategies. Demin/Remin in Preventive Dentistry provides a fresh look at an old (and largely preventable!) problem by reviewing known information, as well as aspects not addressed in other dentistry books. Demin/Remin in Preventive Dentistry will appeal especially to those with a ‘prevention-first’ mindset, as well as researchers and clinicians passionate about delivering or improving oral health benefits for those of us both young and young at heart.
