  The Newton Wars & the Beginning...

  Nothing is considered more natural than the connection between Isaac Newton’s science and the modernity that came into being during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. Terms like “Newtonianism” are routinely taken as synonyms for “Enlightenment” and “modern” thought, yet the particular conjunction of these terms has a history full of accidents and contingencies. Modern physics, for example, was not the determined result of the rational unfolding of Newton’s scientific work in the eighteenth century, nor was the Enlightenment the natural and inevitable consequence of Newton’s eighteenth-century reception. Each of these outcomes, in fact, was a contingent event produced by the particular historical developments of the early eighteenth century. A comprehensive study of public culture, The Newton Wars and the Beginning of the French Enlightenment digsbelow the surface of the commonplace narratives that link Newton with Enlightenment thought to examine the actual historical changes that brought them together in eighteenth-century time and space. Drawing on the full range of early modern scientific sources, from studied scientific treatises and academic papers to book reviews, commentaries, and private correspondence, J. B. Shank challenges the widely accepted claim that Isaac Newton’s solitary genius is the reason for his iconic status as the father of modern physics and the philosophemovement.

  About seventy-one per cent of the Earth's surface is water, and even on dry land we remain closely connected to aquatic life. It provides us with oxygen, food, medicine and materials. Wild waterlife infiltrates our lives in many surprising ways. Every other breath we take is filled with oxygen provided by ocean-dwelling microscopic plants. A type of seaweed provides a means to directly test whether people are infected with viruses, including Covid-19. Robotics design takes inspiration from a pike's ability to accelerate with greater g-force than a Porsche.
  Wild Waters by Susanne Masters is a celebration of the breadth of wildlife that can be found in and around our varied waterways, from oceans and rivers to rock pools and ponds. Armchair explorers can read a fascinating account of how aquatic plants and animals enrich human life. Swimmers, paddleboarders, dog walkers, families and anyone with a passion for the great outdoors can learn about local wildlife, including when and where to look for different species without causing any harm.
  
  With stunning illustrations by Alice Goodridge, Wild Waters provides a tantalising insight into the world beneath the surface.

  Internet Governance - Policies...

  Internet governance refers to the development and application of rules, policies, and practices that shape the evolution and use of the internet. It involves multiple stakeholders, including governments, private sector entities, civil society organizations, and technical communities. As the internet has grown from an academic experiment to a global infrastructure, the need for effective governance has become increasingly crucial. The way the internet is managed impacts digital rights, economic development, and global security, making governance a central issue in today’s interconnected world. 
  The origins of internet governance can be traced back to the early days of the internet, when management was primarily handled by academic and research institutions. Over time, as commercial interests and governmental involvement increased, governance structures evolved to accommodate new challenges. Organizations like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) were established to facilitate discussions on technical coordination, policy-making, and regulation. The involvement of international bodies such as the United Nations further highlights the growing importance of internet governance in global affairs. 
  A fundamental aspect of internet governance is the balance between different stakeholder interests. Governments seek to regulate the internet to ensure national security, protect citizens' rights, and maintain economic stability. Meanwhile, private companies advocate for minimal regulation to encourage innovation and market growth. Civil society organizations focus on issues such as privacy, digital rights, and access to information. This multistakeholder model aims to create a collaborative and inclusive approach to governance, but it also presents challenges in reaching consensus on key issues.

  Chrysalis - Maria Sibylla Merian...

  Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Maria Sibylla Merian. 
  An artist turned naturalist, Merian was born just 16 years after Galileo proclaimed that the Earth orbited the sun. But at the age of 50, she sailed from Europe to South America on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis—an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. 
  When she returned, she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the 19th century by scientists who disdained the work of “amateurs.” 
  Chrysalis takes us from golden age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian’s insights fuel a new branch of biology. The New Yorker called it a "spellbinding biography." In it, Kim Todd brings to life a 17th century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today.
