  Theory of Relativity -...

  The early 20th century marked a turning point in physics, as classical mechanics, which had been the foundation of scientific thought for centuries, began to show limitations in explaining certain phenomena. Isaac Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation had provided an elegant and highly successful framework for understanding the physical world, but as experimental techniques improved, inconsistencies began to emerge. The most significant of these was the behavior of light and electromagnetism, which did not conform to Newtonian mechanics. This contradiction laid the groundwork for one of the most revolutionary theories in science—Einstein’s theory of relativity. 
  At the heart of the problem was the nature of light. Classical physics assumed that waves needed a medium to propagate, much like sound waves require air or water waves need a surface. This led scientists to propose the existence of an invisible substance known as the luminiferous ether, which was thought to permeate space and serve as the medium for electromagnetic waves. However, experimental efforts to detect the ether, most notably the Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887, failed to find any evidence of its existence. This posed a major challenge to classical mechanics, as it suggested that light did not require a medium and always traveled at the same speed, regardless of the observer’s motion.

  '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.

  Urban Lowlands - A History of...

  Interrogates the connections between a city’s physical landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points.In Urban Lowlands, Steven T. Moga looks closely at the Harlem Flats in New York City, Black Bottom in Nashville, Swede Hollow in Saint Paul, and the Flats in Los Angeles, to interrogate the connections between a city’s actual landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective on the history of US urban development from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, Moga reveals patterns of inequitable land use, economic dispossession, and social discrimination against immigrants and minorities. In attending to the landscapes of neighborhoods typically considered slums, Moga shows how physical and policy-driven containment has shaped the lives of the urban poor, while wealth and access to resources have been historically concentrated in elevated areas—truly “the heights.” Moga’s innovative framework expands our understanding of how planning and economic segregation alike have molded the American city.

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from a niche concept into a transformative force shaping various sectors. From healthcare to finance, AI is driving innovation and improving efficiencies. At its core, AI refers to the development of machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving, learning, and decision-making. Over the past few years, advancements in machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks have pushed the boundaries of AI capabilities, making it more accessible and integrated into our everyday lives. 
  One of the most significant areas where AI has made an impact is automation. Industries like manufacturing, logistics, and customer service have harnessed AI-driven automation to streamline processes, reduce errors, and enhance productivity. Tasks that once required human labor are now being carried out by intelligent systems, allowing businesses to optimize their operations. The rise of AI-powered virtual assistants, such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, further highlights the technology’s growing presence in daily activities. These virtual assistants, powered by machine learning algorithms, help users perform a range of tasks, from setting reminders to controlling smart home devices, all through natural language processing. 
  Another critical application of AI is in data analysis and decision-making. With the exponential growth of data in the digital age, organizations are using AI to sift through vast amounts of information to uncover insights that were previously hard to detect. AI systems are capable of analyzing patterns in data far more efficiently than humans, enabling businesses to make faster, data-driven decisions. For example, in healthcare, AI is used to analyze medical records and imaging data, helping doctors make more accurate diagnoses. In finance, AI-powered algorithms assist in fraud detection and risk management, improving security and reliability.
