Tectonophysics - Earth's Moving...

Mike Crawford

Tectonophysics is the branch of geophysics that studies the physical processes governing the movement and deformation of Earth's lithosphere. It serves as the foundation for understanding the forces that drive plate tectonics, mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. This field integrates principles from geology, physics, and engineering to explain how stresses, strains, and material properties influence the behavior of the Earth's crust and mantle.
The development of tectonophysics as a scientific discipline emerged from the broader study of geodynamics and plate tectonics. In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea before slowly drifting apart. However, his ideas lacked a convincing mechanism. It was not until the mid-20th century that discoveries such as seafloor spreading and mantle convection provided the necessary framework for the modern theory of plate tectonics. These findings revolutionized the understanding of Earth's dynamic nature, establishing tectonophysics as a crucial field in geoscience.
At its core, tectonophysics investigates the forces that drive plate motions. Earth's interior consists of the solid inner core, the molten outer core, the mantle, and the brittle lithosphere. Heat from the core generates convective currents in the mantle, which exert stress on the overlying tectonic plates. These stresses lead to deformation in the lithosphere, resulting in phenomena such as faulting, folding, and crustal thickening. The study of stress and strain is fundamental in tectonophysics, as it helps explain the mechanisms behind earthquakes and mountain formation.

Nightstalkers - The Wright...

Richard Phillip Lawless

“Takes the reader into the Pacific war and offers a front-row seat to the exploits of the Wright Project and their highly innovative technology.” —War History Network 
 
In August 1943, a highly classified US Army Air Force unit, code-named the “Wright Project,” departed Langley Field for Guadalcanal in the South Pacific to join the fight against the Empire of Japan. Operating independently, under sealed orders drafted at the highest levels of Army Air Force, the Wright Project was unique, both in terms of the war-fighting capabilities provided by classified systems the ten B-24 Liberators of this small group of airmen brought to the war, and in the success these “crash-built” technologies allowed. The Wright airmen would fly only at night, usually as lone hunters of enemy ships. In so doing they would pave the way for the United States to enter and dominate a new dimension of war in the air for generations to come.  
 
This is their story, from humble beginnings at MIT’s Radiation Lab and hunting U-boats off America’s eastern shore, through to the campaigns of the war in the Pacific in their two-year march toward Tokyo. The Wright Project would prove itself to be a combat leader many times over and an outstanding technology innovator, evolving to become the 868th Bomb Squadron.  
 
Comprehensive and highly personal, this story can now be revealed for the very first time, based on official sources, and interviews with the young men who flew into the night.

The Beautiful Strokes of God -...

Allan Gallant, Bonnie Gallant

What makes The Beautiful Strokes of God so helpful and unique is that it’s written by a pastor who knows and believes that Bible. He personally experienced the hopelessness and despair that came after a disabling illness. He knows what it’s like to battle through all the misunderstandings that Christians have about mental illness. He felt the emotional pain of having his faith severely challenged by his illness and the tormenting thoughts that raged in his mind. Through his diligent pursuit of the truth, God showed him the path to victory which he will share with you in the pages of this life changing book.Allan Gallant’s heartbeat is to change the conversation about mental illness in the church. His goal is to give Christians a Biblically based explanation of mental illness and how to successfully recover mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Then churches can become a place of healing, hope and recovery rather than condemnation, shame, and denial.If you have struggled with mental illness, or have a loved one who is struggling, this book will bring hope and shine a light on the darkness of despair. It should also be required reading for anyone in a helping profession who wants to understand what it feels like to go through this trial of faith and then recovery.

The Phantom Cosmos - Decoding...

Dirk Fallon

The universe is a vast expanse filled with enigmas that have intrigued scientists and philosophers for millennia. In the wake of the Big Bang, the cosmos burst into existence, unleashing a torrent of energy and matter that set the stage for the formation of everything we know today. From the very first moments, the universe exhibited a complexity that would eventually lead to the emergence of galaxies, stars, and planets. Yet, amid this wondrous creation, a peculiar and subtle force began to assert its influence—one that would later be identified as dark energy. This mysterious component, largely invisible and poorly understood, is now believed to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe, challenging our conventional understanding of gravity and the evolution of cosmic structures.
In the early epochs of the universe, conditions were extremely volatile and unpredictable. Subatomic particles collided with tremendous energy, and the nascent fabric of space-time was in constant flux. As the universe cooled and matter began to coalesce, forces that governed particle interactions and the formation of atoms started to take hold. It was during this formative period that the seeds of cosmic structure were planted, and the universe embarked on a long, gradual journey towards complexity. However, it was also during this time that the presence of dark energy, although not yet recognized, began to subtly influence the behavior of the cosmos. This influence was initially hidden in the chaotic interplay of energy and matter but would later emerge as one of the most critical factors in cosmic evolution.
