Sinopse

How Elements Form explores the fascinating process of nucleosynthesis, which explains the origin of all elements in the universe. From the hydrogen created in the Big Bang to the gold forged in supernovae, this book unveils how these elements came to be. It highlights the crucial roles of Big Bang nucleosynthesis, stellar nucleosynthesis, and explosive nucleosynthesis in supernovae, emphasizing how these processes shaped the universe's evolution and the life cycles of stars. Understanding element formation is key to unlocking mysteries in astrophysics, cosmology, and even chemistry.

 
The book begins with the Big Bang and the creation of light elements, then progresses to stellar nucleosynthesis, explaining how stars fuse heavier elements in their cores. Finally, it delves into supernovae, where the heaviest elements are created and dispersed. A unique aspect of this book is its accessible approach to complex topics, providing clear explanations and examples while avoiding excessive jargon.

 
Through astronomical observations, nuclear physics experiments, and cosmological simulations, How Elements Form offers a holistic view, connecting theoretical physics with observational astronomy.

    The first American woman to walk in space recounts her experience as part of the team that launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained the Hubble Space Telescope. 
      
    The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. It has, among many other achievements, revealed thousands of galaxies in what seemed to be empty patches of sky; transformed our knowledge of black holes; found dwarf planets with moons orbiting other stars; and measured precisely how fast the universe is expanding. In Handprints on Hubble, retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan describes her work on the NASA team that made all of this possible. Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble, the most productive observatory ever built. 
      
    Along the way, Sullivan chronicles her early life as a “Sputnik Baby,” her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of “thirty-five new guys.” (She was also one of the first six women to join NASA's storied astronaut corps.) She describes in vivid detail what liftoff feels like inside a spacecraft (it's like “being in an earthquake and a fighter jet at the same time”), shows us the view from a spacewalk, and recounts the temporary grounding of the shuttle program after the Challenger disaster. 
      
    Sullivan explains that “maintainability” was designed into Hubble, and she describes the work of inventing the tools and processes that made on-orbit maintenance possible. Because in-flight repair and upgrade was part of the plan, NASA was able to fix a serious defect in Hubble's mirrors—leaving literal and metaphorical “handprints on Hubble.” 
      
    "Dr. Sullivan starts out headed for the bottom of the sea. Soon, she flies us 200 miles above the sky, using her head, heart, and hands to solve problem after problem—and help us take in views that are out of this world. She does it all with her veneer of astronaut cool, of course. What an adventure—no wonder she loves it."—Bill Nye, CEO, The Planetary Society

    A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature Writing 
    The untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts 
    'A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and – of course – the countryside.' Charles Spencer, author of The White Ship 
    For most of human history, we were rural folk.  
    Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places – the church, the green, the school and the marketplace. 
    And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold. 
    There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children’s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past. 
    From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past. 
    In her non-fiction book A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, Sally Coulthard explores the social and cultural dynamics of rural life in Europe. The book, steeped in anthropology and environmental conservation, emphasises the importance of regional studies and the protection of our environment. 
    For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), Charles King (Every Valley), Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), and Clara Parkes (Vanishing Fleece).
