North York Moors and Yorkshire...

Tony Waltham

This book is one of a popular series that seeks to tell the story of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Written with the general reader – the walker, the lover of the countryside – firmly in mind, these pages open the door to a fascinating story of bygone oceans, deltas, mineralisation and glacial landscapes.
Millions of years ago, rocks that now form the lovely terrains of the Moors and Wolds were laid down on the floors of shallow seas, and were then deformed by plate tectonics before being shaped by streams and rivers. The sandstones were left to form the high Moors, whereas the chalk was carved into the rolling Wolds. Ice Age lakes came and went, and all the time wave action was fretting the coastline into glorious and varied profiles.
With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, most of which are taken from his personal collection, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes of sandstone uplands, chalk hills and clay vales came to look as they do. Including suggestions for walks and places to visit to appreciate the best of the inland and coastal landforms, this accessible and readable book opens up amazing new perspectives for all who are interested in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful area.

Plasma Physics - Exploring the...

Mark Hedges

Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, is a unique and dynamic state in which gas is ionized, allowing free electrons and ions to coexist. Unlike solids, liquids, and gases, plasma exhibits collective behavior due to long-range electromagnetic interactions among its charged particles. It is the most abundant form of matter in the universe, making up stars, the interstellar medium, and even artificial applications on Earth. 
The concept of plasma dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when scientists first began studying ionized gases. The term "plasma" was coined in 1928 by Irving Langmuir while researching electrical discharges in gases. Since then, plasma physics has evolved into a vast field, influencing multiple scientific and technological disciplines, including astrophysics, nuclear fusion, space exploration, and industrial applications. 
One of the defining characteristics of plasma is its ability to conduct electricity and respond to magnetic fields. Unlike neutral gases, where collisions dominate particle interactions, plasmas are governed by electromagnetic forces, leading to complex behaviors such as waves, instabilities, and turbulence. This property allows plasmas to sustain structures like magnetospheres around planets and controlled fusion reactors designed for energy production.

They Had Names - Tracing the...

Nathaniel Jeanson

Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery.
 
At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?
 
They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.
 
In this book, you will explore pre-Columbian links between civilizations of the Old World and civilizations of the New. You’ll read about unexpected connections between Mexico and tribes north of the Rio Grande. You’ll also discover that ancient ruins from North American civilizations still exist, that these ruins tell dramatic stories, and that they can still be visited today.
 
On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved.
