Sinopse

Klerksdorp Spheres Enigma explores the mystery surrounding the Klerksdorp Spheres, unique geological formations found in South Africa's ancient pyrophyllite deposits. Dating back approximately 3 billion years to the Archean Eon, these near-perfect metallic spheres have sparked debate about their origins. The book specifically investigates the geological processes and mineralogical composition behind these spheres, offering insights into early Earth history and challenging conventional geological knowledge.

 
The book argues that these spheres are the result of natural geological phenomena like concretion formation and mineral alteration. Using data from field observations and mineralogical analyses, it examines the spheres' physical characteristics, such as size, shape, and internal structure. Detailed analysis of the mineral content is presented using X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy.

 
The book also explores various formation models, including mineral precipitation around a nucleus within sediment and the potential role of microbial activity. This investigation differentiates fact from speculation, providing a comprehensive overview of existing geological knowledge applied to this geological enigma. Targeted toward students, researchers, and enthusiasts, Klerksdorp Spheres Enigma progresses systematically, beginning with the geological context and moving through detailed mineralogical analysis and formation theories.

 
By focusing on a geological explanation, the book offers a unique and valuable perspective on a controversial topic, excluding unsupported theories and acknowledging ongoing scientific debates. Ultimately, understanding the Klerksdorp Spheres provides insights into mineral formation processes applicable in various geological settings, including mineral exploration.

    Innovation within an organization is no longer sufficient; in a growing number of businesses, collaboration between companies and even industries is critical to success. A respected Harvard professor and a journalist team up to show how one creative startup exemplifies this new, intensely interactive form of leadership. 
 
 
Niccolò Machiavelli famously wrote: "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things." 
 
Constructing a new order of things, which Edmondson and Reynolds call "building the future," is the focus of this book. It explores how to bring complex new systems into being, particularly systems that transform human experience and make the world more livable and sustainable. Intense collaboration across professions and industries is vital to come up with new ideas and innovative solutions. This requires practicing new forms of leadership that enable complex, team-based, whole-system innovation. 
 
To reveal how pioneers build the future, Edmondson and Reynolds study a startup's long and innovative journey in the smart-city industry, which uses digital, information and communication technologies to enhance the quality and performance of urban services, They follow the leaders in this company, Living PlanIT, through cycles of hope, exhaustion, disillusionment, pragmatism, and renewal in creating the city of the future.

    Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why? 
 
 
 
In Nightmare Fuel, Nina Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? And why do we keep coming back for more? 
 
 
 
Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. 
 
 
 
With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time. 
 
 
 
With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror's most popular films—from classics like The Exorcist to modern hits like Hereditary—and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, Nightmare Fuel is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.

    Brian Clegg's acclaimed popular science book Inflight Science explored the science experienced on a plane flight. Interstellar Tours takes that concept and goes large. It takes the reader on a tour of our galaxy on the starship Endurance. 
 
That vessel itself is science fiction. But the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life - or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way - all reflect the best picture that current science has to offer. 
 
Accompanying Interstellar Tours is an online gallery with over 50 images and videos in full colour, each directly accessible from the page using QR codes.
