In "The Life and Love of the Insect," Jean-Henri Fabre intricately explores the fascinating world of insects through meticulous observation and poetic prose. His approach combines scientific rigor with a lyrical style, emphasizing both the beauty and complexity of insect behaviors and their natural habitats. Fabre'Äôs vivid descriptions and anthropomorphic insights not only illuminate the life cycles and mating rituals of these creatures but also invite readers to reflect on broader themes of existence and interdependence within nature. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period marked by significant advancements in biology and entomology, Fabre's work resonates with the burgeoning curiosity of the time regarding the interconnectedness of life forms. Fabre, a naturalist and entomologist, dedicated his life to studying and documenting the behaviors of insects in their native environments.

CHARGE - Why Does Gravity Rule?

Frank Close

Humans have long been aware of the electric and magnetic forces around us, and scientific investigation showed that the two are intimately connected as electromagnetism. Lightning shows how devastating electricity can be in nature, while humans learned to exploit the flow of negatively charged electrons that make up an electric current. In the early twentieth century, the experiments of Ernest Rutherford showed that at the heart of atoms lies a positively charged nucleus. The positive charge comes from protons. Atoms are neutral because the charges of the electron and proton cancel out. 
 
 
 
The charges of the proton and electron are opposite and equal, even though the proton is bigger. But why are they equal? This is one of the deepest unresolved puzzles of physics. Frank Close takes us on a journey into the quantum subatomic world of particles. He describes the strong and weak forces that operate alongside electromagnetism, the color and flavor charges, as well as the parallels between them, giving hints of a deeper unity. Seeking an answer to why matter is neutral brings us to fundamental forces and particles, the Standard Model, the Higgs boson, and implications of grand unification for the stability of matter. Close packs in a rich account of our current understanding and the latest ambitious experiments to probe further, and test theoretical possibilities.
