Sinossi

'Fire Rainbows' unveils the mesmerizing world of circumhorizontal arcs, those spectacular horizontal bands of color that appear painted across cirrus clouds. This natural phenomenon, often mistaken for a traditional rainbow, occurs through a precise interaction between sunlight and plate-shaped ice crystals suspended high in the atmosphere, requiring specific conditions including a sun elevation of 58 degrees or higher above the horizon.

 
The book progresses systematically through three main sections, beginning with the fundamental requirements for fire rainbow formation, including detailed explanations of ice crystal geometry and atmospheric conditions. It then explores the fascinating physics behind these displays, explaining how light enters and exits hexagonal ice crystals to create the brilliant spectral display. The final section provides practical information about optimal viewing conditions and locations, making this complex atmospheric phenomenon accessible to observers worldwide.

 
What sets this work apart is its ability to bridge technical expertise with accessibility, using clear explanations and visual aids to make complex physics comprehensible to both academic and general audiences. Drawing from atmospheric science, meteorology, and crystallography, the book combines high-speed photography and computer modeling to demonstrate these atmospheric optics principles. It also addresses current research questions, including the potential impacts of climate change on these stunning natural displays, while maintaining scientific rigor throughout its comprehensive examination of this captivating optical phenomenon.

Remnants of Ancient Life - The...

Dale E. Greenwalt

This audiobook narrated by Christopher Ragland describes the revolution in science that is transforming our understanding of extinct life

We used to think of fossils as being composed of nothing but rock and minerals, all molecular traces of life having vanished long ago. We were wrong. Remnants of Ancient Life reveals how the new science of ancient biomolecules—pigments, proteins, and DNA that once functioned in living organisms tens of millions of years ago—is opening a new window onto the evolution of life on Earth.

Paleobiologists are now uncovering these ancient remnants in the fossil record with increasing frequency, shedding vital new light on long-extinct creatures and the lost world they inhabited. Dale Greenwalt is your guide to these astonishing breakthroughs. He explains how ancient biomolecules hold the secrets to how mammoths dealt with the bitter cold, what colors dinosaurs exhibited in mating displays, how ancient viruses evolved to become more dangerous, and much more. Each chapter discusses different types of biomolecules and the insights they provide about the physiology, behavior, and evolution of extinct organisms, many of which existed long before the age of dinosaurs.

A marvelous adventure of discovery, Remnants of Ancient Life offers an unparalleled look at an emerging science that is transforming our picture of the remote past. You will never think of fossils in the same way again.

Kate Rawles

One woman's journey through South America - and the devastating story of our planet's disappearing biodiversity 
 
Pedalling hard for thirteen months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. 
 
From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play. 
'A gripping read for anyone who cares about what we're doing to the planet and how we can change it' DAVID SHUKMAN, FORMER BBC NEWS SCIENCE EDITOR
