Summary

Ice Climbers explores the captivating world of high-altitude mountaineering, blending tales of human adventure with the science of extreme environments. It examines the physiological challenges climbers face, such as altitude sickness, while also revealing the unique and fragile mountain ecosystems often overlooked in broader conservation efforts. The book highlights the impact of climate change on glaciers and high-altitude regions, threatening both the natural habitats and the feasibility of future climbs.

 
The book progresses from an introduction to major mountain ranges and mountaineering culture, to detailing the science of altitude and the human body's response to extreme conditions. It then shifts focus to the unique flora and fauna thriving in these harsh environments, before investigating the impact of glacial melt and changing weather patterns. Ice Climbers emphasizes the interconnectedness of human resilience, ecosystem conservation, and climate change, urging a holistic approach to environmental awareness.

 
Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive look at the intersection of human ambition and environmental fragility, offering readers a deeper understanding of the ethical considerations surrounding mountaineering and the importance of preserving mountain ecosystems for future generations.

Relativity and Cosmology -...

Mark Hedges

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.

The Jay The Beech and the...

Richard Smyth

'Generous, moving and alive. A gift' - Tim Dee, author of Greenery
'Intelligent, thought-provoking and always, always interesting' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment
'Smyth writes with warmth and engaging perception about our relationship and understanding of the natural world on our doorsteps' - Jon Dunn, author of The Glitter in the Green
'Fresh and tender and playful' - Patrick Galbraith, author of In Search of One Last Song
Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?

Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.

Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.
