Sinopsis

"Quantum Oddities" takes readers on a fascinating journey through the most puzzling aspects of quantum mechanics, where traditional physics rules break down at the microscopic level. The book expertly navigates three core quantum phenomena: entanglement, superposition, and quantum tunneling, demonstrating how these counterintuitive concepts form the backbone of cutting-edge technologies like quantum computing and cryptography.

 
Through a careful blend of historical context and modern experimental evidence, the book illuminates how particles can maintain instantaneous connections across vast distances and exist in multiple states simultaneously. The narrative progresses thoughtfully from foundational concepts to practical applications, making complex ideas accessible without sacrificing scientific accuracy.

 
Starting with essential mathematical and conceptual frameworks, the book builds through specific quantum effects and culminates in exploring real-world applications in computing, cryptography, and sensing technologies. Notable experiments, including the famous double-slit test and Bell's inequality measurements, are presented alongside data from contemporary research at institutions like CERN, providing compelling evidence for quantum theory's validity.

 
What sets this book apart is its ability to bridge the gap between introductory texts and specialized research papers, making it invaluable for both advanced students and curious general readers with basic physics knowledge. The author balances technical precision with clear explanations, emphasizing physical interpretation over complex mathematics while incorporating insights from leading quantum physicists. This approach helps readers understand not just the 'what' but also the 'why' of quantum phenomena, positioning quantum mechanics as our most accurate description of microscopic reality.

The Green Amendment - The...

Maya K. van Rossum, Mark...

A veteran environmentalist shares her roadmap to a healthier world—one that uses the law to empower activists and provide hope for communities everywhere.
We have reached a critical tipping point in our fight for the environment: Corporations profit off climate change, natural disasters devastate homes, and the most vulnerable suffer the health effects of pollution. Yet our laws are designed to accommodate this destruction rather than prevent it. Without government support, it's no wonder people feel powerless. But there is a solution.
In The Green Amendment, veteran environmentalist Maya K. van Rossum presents her radically simple plan for a green future: bypass local laws and turn to the ultimate authority—our state and federal constitutions—to ensure we have the right to a healthy environment.
Through compelling interviews with activists on the ground, clear evidence from experts, and heartbreaking stories from those hit hardest by environmental ruin, The Green Amendment lights the path forward. In this updated edition of her trailblazing 2017 book, van Rossum invites readers to join the movement by sharing:

- Why Green Amendments work where other movements have failed
- How to position Green Amendments and what specific language offers the strongest legal protections
- How to argue in favor of environmental rights, and the economic and health benefits that will help activists make the case
- How Green Amendments address the crucial intersection of environmentalism and anti-racism
- What everyone—from artists and students to scientists and lawyer—can do to further the cause
With the power of The Green Amendment, we can claim our environmental rights, ensuring a clean, safe Earth for generations to come.

Forest: Walking among trees

Matt Collins

Forest celebrates the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been.
Journeying across the continents, Matt Collins and Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees.
Forest is a celebration of the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been.
Journeying across the continents, writer Matt Collins and photographer Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. They explore the heritage of woodlands from around the world and meet those whose lives are inexplicably bound to them.
The book is divided into 10 main chapters, each of which explores a tree from a particular genus – Pine, Juniper, Oak, Hornbeam, Cherry, Beech, Birch, Chestnut, Douglas-fir and Poplar. Each chapter provides the reader with a short introduction to the tree, followed by a journalistic account of its relevance to modern day-life (from gin making on Isle of Islay to a truffle farm in Spain), and concludes with an account of the tree in its native forest (from hornbeams in the Ironwoods of Ontario to firs on Vancouver Island).
Captured on medium-format film, Roo’s stunning, rich colour images are the perfect companion to Matt’s engaging storytelling and botanical knowledge. Forest crafts a captivating interpretation of the story of the forest through the trees.
Matt Collins Forest is a non-fiction exploration of conservation, botany, and the protection of our ecosystems. Pre-order this up-coming book to learn about the latest themes and subjects in earth sciences and geography.
For fans of Fiona Danks (Run Wild!), Jo Schofield (Go Wild!), Richard Irvine (Forest School For Grown-Ups), and Bear Grylls (Never Give Up).
