Sinopse

Age Chronology Methods explores how we determine the age of historical and geological events, objects, and civilizations. It's a comprehensive look at scientific dating, essential for reconstructing the past and understanding our world. The book covers a range of dating methods, from radiometric dating like carbon-14 dating, which relies on the predictable decay of radioactive isotopes, to incremental methods like dendrochronology, which analyzes tree rings. It also delves into relative dating, such as stratigraphy, which orders events based on layer positioning, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of age determination, connecting physics, chemistry, geology, archaeology, and history.

 
The book starts with the concept of time and its measurement, then introduces radiometric dating, incremental dating, and relative dating techniques. Each section includes real-world case studies, such as dating ancient human remains or volcanic eruptions. The book uniquely emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding age chronology.

 
By examining these methods, the book empowers readers to critically evaluate evidence and appreciate the complexities of scientific dating.

A Dumb Birds Field Guide to the...

Matt Kracht

We can all agree—birds are terrible. They're stupid and won't shut up. 
 
 
 
Featuring fifty of the absolute worst birds to fly the earth, Kracht identifies each of their most terrible qualities, details exactly why they suck, and shows you why. Including all-new, all-worst fowl, such as: the absolute waste of feathers Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone), the utter a-hole Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher), the outright loser Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker), and many more! 
 
 
 
Even the author's previous bird takedown guides are no preparation for this hilariously harrowing collection of squawking, conceited, trash-eating, and even murderous idiots. The horror. The horror . . . 
 
 
 
LOVE BIRDS? HATE BIRDS?: For those who hate birds and for bird lovers everywhere with a sense of humor, this handbook is equal parts profane and funny, and—let's face it—true. 
 
 
 
ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: This uproarious guide to all things wings includes tips for bird identification, musings on the avian population and classification, and more. Plus, each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more.
