  • The Language of Climate Politics - Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It - cover

    The Language of Climate Politics...

    In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
     
     
     
    Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

    In this new collection of bite-size pop science essays, bestselling author, chemistry professor, and radio broadcaster Dr. Joe Schwarcz shows that you can find science virtually anywhere you look. And the closer you look, the more fascinating it becomes. In this volume, we look through our magnifying glass at maraschino cherries, frizzy hair, duct tape, pickle juice, yellow school buses, aphrodisiacs, dental implants, and bull testes. If those don’t tickle your fancy, how about aconite murders, shot towers, book smells, Swarovski crystals, French wines, bees, or head transplants? You can also learn about the scientific escapades of James Bond, California’s confusing Proposition 65, the problems with oxygen on Mars, Valentine’s Meat Juice, the benefits of pasteurization, the pros and cons of red light therapy, the controversy swirling around perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), why English cucumbers are wrapped in plastic, and how probiotics may have seeded Hitler’s downfall. 
    		 
    Superfoods, Silkworms, and Spandex answers all your burning questions about the science of everyday life, like:
    		
    		why “superfood” is a marketing term, not a scientific one;
    		why plastic wrap is sometimes the environmental choice;
    		why supplements to reduce inflammation may just reduce your bank account;
    		how maraschino cherries went from a luxury good to a cheap sundae topper;
    		what’s behind “old book smell”;
    		how margarine became a hot item for bootleggers;
    		why duct tape is useful, but not on ducts; and
    		how onstage accidents led to fireproof fabrics.

    Relativity and Cosmology -...

    Relativity is one of the most profound and influential theories in modern physics, fundamentally altering our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, the theory of relativity consists of two main parts: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity, formulated in 1905, addresses the behavior of objects moving at constant velocity in the absence of gravitational fields, while general relativity, introduced in 1915, extends the principles of special relativity to include the effects of gravity, describing it as a consequence of the curvature of space-time. Together, these theories provide a unified framework for understanding the large-scale structure of the universe, the motion of celestial bodies, and the nature of gravity itself. 
    The foundation of special relativity rests on two key postulates: (1) the laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames, and (2) the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all observers, regardless of their relative motion. These postulates lead to several counterintuitive but experimentally verified consequences, such as time dilation, length contraction, and the relativity of simultaneity. Time dilation implies that a moving clock runs slower relative to a stationary observer, while length contraction means that an object moving at high velocity appears shorter along the direction of motion. The relativity of simultaneity states that two events that are simultaneous in one reference frame may not be simultaneous in another frame moving relative to the first. These effects become significant at velocities approaching the speed of light, where classical mechanics fails to provide accurate predictions.
