  The Ascent of Affect - Genealogy...

  In recent years, emotions have become a major, vibrant topic of research not merely in the biological and psychological sciences but throughout a wide swath of the humanities and social sciences as well. Yet, surprisingly, there is still no consensus on their basic nature or workings.   Ruth Leys’s brilliant, much anticipated history, therefore, is a story of controversy and disagreement. The Ascent of Affect focuses on the post–World War II period, when interest in emotions as an object of study began to revive. Leys analyzes the ongoing debate over how to understand emotions, paying particular attention to the continual conflict between camps that argue for the intentionality or meaning of emotions but have trouble explaining their presence in non-human animals and those that argue for the universality of emotions but struggle when the question turns to meaning. Addressing the work of key figures from across the spectrum, considering the potentially misleading appeal of neuroscience for those working in the humanities, and bringing her story fully up to date by taking in the latest debates, Leys presents here the most thorough analysis available of how we have tried to think about how we feel.

  Why Am I Taller? - What Happens...

  What happens in space that causes the body to change? Learn about life in space from astronauts 
  		 
  Is the human body built for Mars? NASA’s studies on the International Space Station show we need to fix a few things before sending people to the Red Planet. Astronauts go into space with good vision and come back needing eyeglasses. Cognition and DNA expression could be affected for years. And then there’s the discomfort of living in a tight space with crewmates, depression, and separation from the people you love.
  		 
  Space doctors are on the case. You’ll meet the first twin to spend a year in space, the woman who racked up three physically challenging spacewalks in between 320 days of confinement, and the cosmonaut who was temporarily stranded on space station Mir while the Soviet Union broke up underneath him. What are we learning about the human body?
  		 
  As astronauts target moon missions and eventual landings on Mars, one of the major questions is how the human body will behave in “partial gravity.” How does the human body change on another world, as opposed to floating freely in microgravity? What can studies on Earth and in space tell us about planetary exploration? These questions will be important to the future of space exploration and to related studies of seniors and people with reduced mobility on Earth.

  Tectonophysics - Earth's Moving...

  Tectonophysics is the branch of geophysics that studies the physical processes governing the movement and deformation of Earth's lithosphere. It serves as the foundation for understanding the forces that drive plate tectonics, mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. This field integrates principles from geology, physics, and engineering to explain how stresses, strains, and material properties influence the behavior of the Earth's crust and mantle. 
  The development of tectonophysics as a scientific discipline emerged from the broader study of geodynamics and plate tectonics. In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea before slowly drifting apart. However, his ideas lacked a convincing mechanism. It was not until the mid-20th century that discoveries such as seafloor spreading and mantle convection provided the necessary framework for the modern theory of plate tectonics. These findings revolutionized the understanding of Earth's dynamic nature, establishing tectonophysics as a crucial field in geoscience. 
  At its core, tectonophysics investigates the forces that drive plate motions. Earth's interior consists of the solid inner core, the molten outer core, the mantle, and the brittle lithosphere. Heat from the core generates convective currents in the mantle, which exert stress on the overlying tectonic plates. These stresses lead to deformation in the lithosphere, resulting in phenomena such as faulting, folding, and crustal thickening. The study of stress and strain is fundamental in tectonophysics, as it helps explain the mechanisms behind earthquakes and mountain formation.

  The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

  Jeff Sebo

  Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
   
   
   
  In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
   
   
   
  This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.
