Beschreibung

'St. Elmo's Fire' explores the fascinating phenomenon of atmospheric electrical discharge that has intrigued humanity for centuries, from Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment to modern aviation safety protocols. This comprehensive examination weaves together historical observations, scientific principles, and practical applications, offering readers a unique perspective on how this ethereal blue-violet glow has influenced our understanding of atmospheric electricity and plasma physics.

 
The book progresses thoughtfully through three main sections, beginning with rich historical accounts from maritime logs and military records that document this mysterious phenomenon across cultures and eras. The middle section breaks down the complex physics of corona discharge and plasma formation using accessible language and clear diagrams, making technical concepts digestible for readers with basic physics knowledge. The final section bridges past and present by examining modern applications in aircraft safety and lightning protection systems.

 
What sets this book apart is its multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from meteorology, electrical engineering, and materials science to present a complete picture of St. Elmo's Fire's significance. Through careful examination of weather station data, aircraft incident reports, and laboratory experiments, readers gain practical knowledge about recognizing conducive conditions for this phenomenon while understanding its crucial role in contemporary atmospheric research and technology development. The text maintains technical accuracy while remaining accessible to both professionals and enthusiasts interested in atmospheric electricity and weather phenomena.

    For fans of Wesley the Owl and The Soul of an Octopus, the story of a sick baby bird nursed back to health and into the wild by renowned writer/artist Julie Zickefoose. When Jemima, a young orphaned blue jay, is brought to wildlife rehabilitator Julie Zickefoose, she is a virtually tailless, palm-sized bundle of gray-blue fluff. But she is starved and very sick. Julie’s constant care brings her around, and as Jemima is raised for eventual release, she takes over the house and the rest of the author's summer.   Shortly after release, Jemima turns up with a deadly disease. But medicating a free-flying wild bird is a challenge. When the PBS show Nature expresses interest in filming Jemima, Julie must train her to behave on camera, as the bird gets ever wilder. Jemima bonds with a wild jay, stretching her ties with the family. Throughout, Julie grapples with the fallout of Jemima’s illness, studies molt and migration, and does her best to keep Jemima strong and wild. She falls hard for this engaging, feisty and funny bird, a creative muse and source of strength through the author’s own heartbreaking changes. Emotional and honest, Saving Jemima is a universal story of the communion between a wild creature and the human chosen to raise it. Read by the author.

    I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
    Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
    Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
    This manual has five parts: 
    Part One-Understanding the Threat 
    Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
    Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
    Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
    Part Five-Looking Forward 
    Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
    Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
    I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this book might be an aid to survival in those circumstances.

    The world is changing so fast that it's hard to know how to think about what we ought to do. We barely have time to reflect on how scientific advances will affect our lives before they're upon us. New kinds of dilemma are springing up. Can robots be held responsible for their actions? Will artificial intelligence be able to predict criminal activity? Is the future gender-fluid? Should we strive to become post-human? Should we use drugs to improve our intimate relationships—or to reduce crime? Our intuitions about questions like these are often both weak and confused. 
     
     
     
    David Edmonds has put together a philosophical task force to get to grips with these challenges. Twenty-nine philosophers present provocative and engaging pieces about aspects of life today, and life tomorrow—birth and death, health and medicine, brain and body, personal relationships, wrongdoing and justice, the internet, animals, and the environment. The future won't look the same when you've finished this book.
