  Gravity's Ghost - The Story of...

  In the vast expanse of the universe, mysteries abound and questions arise that challenge our understanding of reality. One of the most perplexing enigmas is the existence of dark matter, a substance that does not emit or absorb light yet exerts a powerful gravitational pull on galaxies and clusters of stars. This invisible material has puzzled astronomers and physicists for decades, leading them to explore the possibility that much of the universe is composed of matter that remains unseen by traditional instruments. The cosmic puzzle begins with the observation that the movements of stars and galaxies cannot be explained by the gravitational effects of visible matter alone. These motions hint at a hidden influence, a ghostly presence that shapes the structure and evolution of the cosmos. 
  The journey to uncover the nature of dark matter has been marked by curiosity and perseverance. Early observations of spiral galaxies revealed that stars on the outer edges moved at unexpected speeds, a phenomenon that could not be reconciled with the distribution of luminous matter. As scientists delved deeper into the fabric of the universe, they discovered that the gravitational forces acting on galaxies pointed to an unseen mass that defied direct detection. The search for dark matter has involved an array of scientific techniques and theoretical models, each contributing a piece to the overall picture of this cosmic mystery. Despite the lack of direct evidence, the gravitational effects of dark matter have been observed in the bending of light from distant stars, in the behavior of galaxy clusters, and in the large-scale structure of the universe. 
  In many ways, the study of dark matter represents a frontier where the known laws of physics meet the unknown. This puzzle challenges researchers to rethink conventional theories and to consider new possibilities that extend beyond established models.

  Quick Fixes - Drugs in America...

  Benjamin Y. Fong

  Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here? 
   
   
   
  Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America's passionate love and intense hatred for drugs has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century. 
   
   
   
  Through nine chapters, each devoted to the modern history of a drug or class of drugs, Fong examines Americans' fraught relationship with psychoactive substances. As society changes it produces different forms of stress, isolation, and alienation. These changes, in turn, shape the sorts of drugs society chooses. 
   
   
   
  By laying out the histories, functions, and experiences of our chemical comforts, the hope is to help answer that ever perplexing question: what does it mean to be an American?

  When the Ice is Gone - What a...

  In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
   
   
   
  In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
   
   
   
  Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.

  Deborah is a British First World War tank that rose from the grave after taking part in one of the most momentous battles in history. In November 1917, she played a leading role in the first successful massed tank attack at Cambrai. Eighty years later, in a remarkable feat of archaeology, the tank's buried remains were rediscovered and excavated, and are now preserved as a memorial to the battle and to the men who fought in it. John Taylor's book tells the tale of the tank and her crew and tracks down their descendants to uncover a human story every bit as compelling as the military one.
