Beschreibung

'Green Flash' explores one of nature's most enigmatic optical phenomena - the brief emerald burst of color that appears for mere seconds when the sun meets the horizon. This comprehensive examination weaves together atmospheric physics, meteorological conditions, and historical observations to unravel the mystery behind this rare spectacle, which has fascinated observers since its documentation in Jules Verne's 1882 novel.The book progresses methodically from fundamental concepts of atmospheric optics, explaining how sunlight separates into its component colors through refraction and dispersion, to detailed analyses of different types of green flash events. Through clear diagrams and real-world examples, readers learn about inferior-mirage, mock-mirage, and sub-duct flashes, while understanding the specific atmospheric conditions required for each.Historical accounts from maritime logs and scientific expeditions are complemented by modern high-speed photography and spectral analysis, validating centuries of observations with contemporary science. What sets this work apart is its practical approach to observation, combining theoretical knowledge with actionable guidance. Readers discover optimal viewing conditions, prime global locations, and seasonal timing for witnessing this elusive phenomenon.The book's interdisciplinary approach, bridging atmospheric physics with human visual perception, makes complex optical concepts accessible to both academic readers and nature enthusiasts, while maintaining scientific rigor throughout its exploration of this fascinating atmospheric display.

    New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell, whom The New Yorker describes as “one of the most influential Christian leaders in the country,” does for the concept of God what he did for heaven and hell in his book Love Wins: He shows how traditional ideas have grown stale and dysfunctional and how to return vitality and vibrancy to lives of faith today.Pastor Rob Bell explains why both culture and the church resist talking about God, and shows how we can reconnect with the God who is pulling us forward into a better future. Bell uses his characteristic evocative storytelling to challenge everything you think you know about God. What We Talk About When We Talk About God tackles the misconceptions about God and reveals how God is with us, for us, ahead of us, and how understanding this could change the entire course of our lives.

    An exciting introduction to the true potential of AI from the director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. 
     
    Imagine a technology capable of discovering new drugs in days instead of years, helping scientists map distant galaxies and decode the language of whales, and aiding the rest of us in mundane daily tasks, from drafting email responses to preparing dinner. Now consider that this same technology poses risks to our jobs and society as a whole. Artificial Intelligence is no longer science fiction; it is upending our world today.  
     
    As advances in AI spark fear and confusion, The Mind’s Mirror reminds us that in spite of the very real and pressing challenges, AI is a force with enormous potential to improve human life. Computer scientist and AI researcher Daniela Rus, along with science writer Gregory Mone, offers an expert perspective as a leader in the field who has witnessed many technological hype cycles. Rus and Mone illustrate the ways in which AI can help us become more productive, knowledgeable, creative, insightful, and even empathetic, as well as the many risks associated with misuse.  
     
    The Mind’s Mirror shows readers how AI works and explores what we, as individuals and as a society, must do to mitigate dangerous outcomes and ensure a positive impact for as many people as possible. The result is an accessible and lively exploration of the underlying technology and its limitations and possibilities—a book that illuminates our possible futures in the hopes of forging the best path forward.

    The Dao De Jing exists on the border between poetry and philosophy, embracing both mythos and logos. Its poetic form can stand alone, but it is enriched when its timeless ideas are analyzed and explained through careful scholarship. For example: “He who knows others is knowledgeable. He who knows himself is wise.” These words resemble Socrates’ account of his own quest in Plato’s Apology.
     
    Ancient philosophy, both in China and in Greece, places self-­‐ knowledge at the center of the search for wisdom. Contemporary philosophers are often misled about this way of thinking, because the self has been detached from external things and separated from nature and society. The wisdom of China and of Europe unites human existence and nature.
