Synopsis

In "Fossil Forests of the Yellowstone National Park," Frank Hall Knowlton presents an extensive exploration of the paleobotanical treasures found within one of America'Äôs most iconic national parks. Employing a descriptive yet scientific literary style, Knowlton meticulously details the fossilized remains of ancient trees, revealing insights into the prehistoric ecosystems that once thrived in the region. Written during the late 19th century, this work is situated within the burgeoning field of paleontology and reflects the era's growing fascination with the natural sciences, illustrating both the mysteries of the fossilized past and the significance of these discoveries in understanding Earth'Äôs geological history. Knowlton, a prominent American paleontologist and botanist of his time, was deeply influenced by the scientific advancements in geology and botany. His tenure as a curator at the U.S. National Museum and his passion for studying ancient flora fueled his dedication to documenting these fossil forests as a means to educate the public and further scientific inquiry. His meticulous research not only highlighted the beauty of Yellowstone'Äôs geological formations but also underscored its importance as a site of scientific significance. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in paleontology, botany, or the natural history of the United States. Knowlton'Äôs rich descriptions and scholarly insights provide a profound appreciation for the wonder of Yellowstone's fossil forests, making it a pivotal resource for scientists and nature enthusiasts alike.

    Mission Zero is a landmark independent report into the delivery of the UK's commitment to net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Chaired by Chris Skidmore, the UK's former Energy Minister who was responsible for signing net zero into law, its conclusions set out, for the very first time, a new economic narrative for climate policy, demonstrating the vast financial opportunity that net zero can deliver.
    This timely and crucial report acts as a template for how all countries can map out future challenges and opportunities and, above all, deliver their own pathway to net zero while also creating new jobs, industries and investment for the future.
    Commissioned by the UK's Prime Minister in September 2022, Mission Zero is the largest engagement exercise on net zero conducted to date and has been widely recognised as the most informative and detailed document on the topic, covering every sector and aspect of society. This important book is a vital piece of work and an indispensable must-read for anyone interested in energy, climate and sustainability policy.

    A deep dive into the groundbreaking and bestselling video game series The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. After all, Borderlands 2 was promoted with the tagline “87 bazillion guns just got bazillionder.” These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns.  
     
    As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment. Tremblay also digs in to the way the Borderlands game franchise ― which has sold more than 26 million copies ― disrupts traditional notions of heroism, creating nuanced and compelling storytelling that highlights the strengths and possibilities of this relatively new narrative medium.  
     
    The latest entry in the acclaimed Pop Classics series, Ain’t No Place for a Hero is a fascinating read for Borderlands devotees as well as the uninitiated.
