Synopsis

'Aurora Secrets' unravels the mesmerizing phenomenon of the northern lights, offering a comprehensive exploration of the intricate physics behind these celestial displays. The book masterfully weaves together three key themes: the fundamental physics of aurora formation, Earth's magnetic field dynamics, and the complex solar-terrestrial relationship that creates these spectacular light shows.

 
Through carefully crafted explanations and analogies, readers discover how charged particles from the Sun interact with our planet's magnetic shield to produce the brilliant colors that dance across polar skies. Starting with historical perspectives and ancient myths, the narrative progresses through essential physics concepts before delving into the Sun's crucial role in auroral activity.

 
The book examines how solar wind and coronal mass ejections travel through space to interact with Earth's magnetosphere, making complex atmospheric physics accessible to readers with basic science knowledge. Particular attention is given to the various forms and colors of auroras, supported by current research methods and data from recent space missions.

 
The book distinguishes itself by bridging the gap between technical scientific literature and popular science, incorporating practical information for aurora viewing and photography alongside sophisticated concepts in space weather and plasma physics. It serves as an invaluable resource for educators, amateur astronomers, and science enthusiasts, combining theoretical understanding with practical observation techniques.

 
The interdisciplinary approach highlights the connection between aurora studies and modern technology, including satellite communications and power grid infrastructure protection.

    An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
    		 
    Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
    		 
    In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
    		 
    Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

    The Dead Sea - A 10000 Year History

    A human history of one of the planet's most iconic lakes, and the civilizations that surrounded its shores 
     
     
      
    The Dead Sea is a place of many contradictions. Hot springs around the lake are famed for their healing properties, though its own waters are deadly to most lifeforms—even so, civilizations have built ancient cities and hilltop fortresses around its shores for centuries. The protagonists in its story are not only Jews and Arabs, but also Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Crusaders and Mamluks. Today it has become a tourist hotspot, but its drying basin is increasingly under threat. 
     
     
      
    In this panoramic account, Nir Arielli explores the history of the Dead Sea from the first Neolithic settlements to the present day. Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war. The Dead Sea weaves together a tapestry of the lake's human stories—and amidst environmental degradation and renewed conflict, makes a powerful case for why it should be saved.

    Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves. 
     
     
     
    In Infinite Life, Jules Howard explains—with great passion, authority, expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—why it's time to give eggs their moment in the spotlight: it is the eggs that can teach us new and surprising lessons about Earth's history, the trials of life, and the exceptional ways in which natural selection operates to propagate the survival of individual species. 
     
     
     
    Infinite Life: The Revolutionary Story of Eggs, Evolution, and Life on Earth, offers a wholly new perspective on the animal kingdom, and, indeed, life on Earth. By examining eggs from their earliest histories to the very latest fossilized discoveries—encompassing the myriad changes and mutations of eggs from the evolution of yolk, to the hard eggshells of lost dinosaurs, to the animals that have evolved to simultaneously give birth to eggs and live young—Howard reveals untold stories of great diversity and majesty to shed light on the huge impact that egg science has on our lives.
