  The Plague Years - A Doctor’s...

  In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history. 
   
  Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.

  Global Burning - Rising...

  Recent years have seen out of control wildfires rage across remote Brazilian rainforests, densely populated California coastlines, and major cities in Australia. What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences. 
   
   
   
  As political leaders and big business work together in the pursuit of profits and power, anti-environmentalism has become an essential political tool enabling the rise of extreme right governments and energizing their populist supporters. These are the governments that deny climate science, reject environmental protection laws, and foster exclusionary worldviews that exacerbate climate injustice. 
   
   
   
  The widespread fires demand acknowledgment of the global systems of inequality that undergird them, connecting the political erosion of liberal democracy with the corrosion of the environment. In thinking through wildfires as environmental and political phenomenon, Global Burning challenges listeners to confront the interlocking powers that are ensuring our future ecological collapse.

  General Relativity - A...

  General Relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, is a theory of gravitation that revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Unlike Newton’s theory of gravitation, which treated gravity as a force between masses, General Relativity posits that gravity is a result of the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. This chapter serves as an introduction to the fundamental principles of General Relativity and the key concepts that underpin this theory. 
  One of the central ideas of General Relativity is the equivalence principle, which asserts that there is no distinguishable difference between acceleration due to gravity and acceleration due to other forces. This insight led Einstein to the realization that gravity could be described not as a force, but as a manifestation of the curvature of spacetime. Spacetime, a four-dimensional continuum, is distorted by mass and energy, and this curvature dictates how objects move within it. Objects follow the “straightest” possible paths, known as geodesics, which are curved in the presence of massive objects. 
  Another cornerstone of General Relativity is the concept of curved spacetime. The presence of mass and energy alters the fabric of spacetime, much like a heavy ball placed on a stretched rubber sheet deforms the sheet’s surface. The more massive an object is, the more it warps spacetime. This warping of spacetime is what we perceive as gravity. For example, the Earth orbits the Sun not because the Sun exerts a force on Earth in the traditional sense, but because the Sun’s mass curves spacetime, and the Earth follows the geodesic path within that curvature.
