Sinopse

Evolution of Atoms explores the long and winding history of atomic theory, from ancient philosophical ideas to today's quantum mechanics and nuclear science applications. It highlights how our understanding of these fundamental building blocks has evolved, driven by experimental evidence and theoretical breakthroughs. One intriguing aspect covered is the transition from early atomic models, like the "plum pudding model," to the more sophisticated Rutherford and Bohr models that introduced the concept of a nucleus and quantized orbits. The book also demonstrates how seemingly abstract concepts like radioactive decay and nuclear fusion have real-world impacts, from energy production to medical treatments. 

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the interconnectedness of theoretical models, experimental findings, and technological applications. It shows the historical perspective by highlighting the often non-linear path of scientific progress and the human element in scientific discovery. Beginning with early ideas, the book progresses through groundbreaking experiments and theoretical leaps, culminating in a discussion of nuclear science and its implications. This approach provides a comprehensive and engaging overview suitable for students, educators, and anyone interested in the evolution of physics.

The Book of Eels - Our Enduring...

Patrik Svensson

Part H Is for Hawk, part The Soul of an Octopus, The Book of Eels is both a meditation on the world’s most elusive fish—the eel—and a reflection on the human condition.
Remarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the “eel question”: Where do eels come from? What are they? Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether? Even today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don’t understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives. They remain a mystery.
Drawing on a breadth of research about eels in literature, history, and modern marine biology, as well as his own experience fishing for eels with his father, Patrik Svensson crafts a mesmerizing portrait of an unusual, utterly misunderstood, and completely captivating animal. In The Book of Eels, we meet renowned historical thinkers, from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud to Rachel Carson, for whom the eel was a singular obsession. And we meet the scientists who spearheaded the search for the eel’s point of origin, including Danish marine biologist Johannes Schmidt, who led research efforts in the early twentieth century, catching thousands upon thousands of eels, in the hopes of proving their birthing grounds in the Sargasso Sea.
Blending memoir and nature writing at its best, Svensson’s journey to understand the eel becomes an exploration of the human condition that delves into overarching issues about our roots and destiny, both as humans and as animals, and, ultimately, how to handle the biggest question of all: death. The result is a gripping and slippery narrative that will surprise and enchant.

Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

James Maxey

When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
Sample passages: 
From Chapter 1 
"Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
From Chapter 16 
"The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."

What is innovation? How is innovation used in business? How can we use it to succeed?Innovation, the ways ideas are made valuable, plays an essential role in economic and social development, and is an increasingly topical issue. Over the last 150 years our world has hit an accelerated rate of transformation. From airplanes to television to penicillin, and from radios to frozen food to digital money, the fruits of innovation surround us.Innovation: A Very Short Introduction looks at what innovation is and why it affects us so profoundly. It examines how it occurs, who stimulates it, how it is pursued, and what its outcomes are, both positive and negative. Considering innovation today, and discussing future disruptive technologies such as AI, which have important implications for work and employment, Mark Dodgson and David Gann consider the extent to which our understanding of innovation has developed over the past century and how it might be used to interpret the global economy.
