Sinossi

In "Lightning, Thunder and Lightning Conductors," Gerald Molloy provides an exceptional exploration of atmospheric phenomena, focusing particularly on the understanding and significance of lightning and its conductors. The book is meticulously structured and features a blend of scientific inquiry and vivid descriptions that showcase Molloy's mastery of both technical detail and engaging prose. Written during a period when electrical science was rapidly evolving, Molloy's work situates itself within the broader landscape of 19th-century scientific literature, marrying empirical research with literary flair to illuminate the mysteries of nature's electrostatic discharges. Gerald Molloy, an Irish priest and physicist, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning scientific discoveries of his time, which fueled his interest in the natural world. A scholar with a keen engagement in the intersection of science and faith, Molloy sought to make complex scientific concepts accessible to a wider audience. His background in both theology and the natural sciences uniquely positioned him to convey these topics with clarity and passion, allowing readers to appreciate the intricacies of lightning'Äîa phenomenon that has captivated human curiosity for centuries. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the interplay between science and literature, as it not only elucidates the principles of electrical phenomena but also enriches one's appreciation for nature's grandeur. Recommended for scholars, educators, and enthusiasts alike, Molloy'Äôs work serves as both a historical document and a timeless inquiry into the forces that shape our understanding of the world.

    "[A] history of air conditioning, chronicling the numerous gimmicks, failed attempts, con jobs, and eventual successes . . . a surprisingly interesting journey." —San Francisco Book Review 
     
     
      
    The air conditioner is often hailed as one of the modern world's greatest inventions—yet nearly as often blamed for global disaster. It has changed everything from architecture to people's food habits; saved countless lives, and caused countless deaths. First appearing in 1902, when Willis Carrier, an engineer barely out of college, developed the "Apparatus for Treating Air," everyone assumed it would instantly change the world. But the story of air conditioning and its rise to ubiquity is far from simple. 
     
     
      
    In Cool, Salvatore Basile tracks two fascinating stories: the struggle to perfect an effective cooling device, and the effort to convince people that they actually needed such a thing. With a cast of characters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Richard Nixon and Felix the Cat, Cool showcases the myriad reactions to air conditioning as it was developed and introduced to the world. Here is a unique perspective on a common convenience: how we came to rely on it today, and how it might change radically tomorrow.

    Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles. Unlike classical mechanics, which governs macroscopic objects, quantum mechanics introduces concepts that challenge our everyday intuition, including wave-particle duality, superposition, and uncertainty. These principles form the foundation of modern physics and have led to numerous technological advancements, including semiconductors, lasers, and quantum computing. 
    The origins of quantum mechanics can be traced back to the early 20th century when classical physics failed to explain certain experimental observations. One of the earliest challenges was black-body radiation, which classical theories could not accurately describe. Max Planck introduced the idea of quantized energy levels, proposing that energy is emitted and absorbed in discrete packets called "quanta." This marked the birth of quantum theory. Soon after, Albert Einstein extended this idea by explaining the photoelectric effect, demonstrating that light itself behaves as both a particle and a wave. This dual nature of light and matter became one of the defining principles of quantum mechanics.

Healing Psychedelics demystifies the process and emphasizes safety and effectiveness, making it an essential guide for both new explorers and seasoned practitioners.” —Jessika Lagarde, psychedelic-assisted medicine facilitator, integration coach, and cofounder of Women On Psychedelics   Psychedelics are showing great promise as a new way to heal trauma and improve emotional wellness. Studies reveal that they can be effective in reducing PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms, even in cases that are resistant to other treatments. Stover offers a comprehensive and informative guide for both professionals and patients who are interested in learning more about psychedelic-assisted therapy.   Each chapter reveals a vignette taken directly from the psychedelic space that shows the medicines (medium and macro-doses of MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, and cannabis), why they were chosen, and the process used for transformation during the sessions. Stover weaves in wisdom from indigenous and Mexican healers and practitioners with application exercises, writing prompts, and journal entries to deepen the reader’s healing journey. These exercises are applicable to all readers, whether you are working on your own or with a therapist.  Healing Psychedelics shows the complete process, enabling the reader to safely unlock the power of psychedelics to heal trauma and transform their life for a brighter future.
