Summary

Clouds Seed Rain explores the science behind cloud seeding, a form of weather modification aimed at enhancing precipitation. The book focuses on the intricate process of ice nucleation within clouds and how scientists attempt to manipulate it to increase rainfall or snowfall, particularly in regions facing water scarcity. It delves into the microphysics of cloud formation, specifically examining how ice crystals form in supercooled clouds—a phenomenon essential for precipitation. For example, the text looks at how seeding agents like silver iodide are used to stimulate ice crystal formation.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with fundamental concepts of atmospheric science and cloud physics before moving into detailed analyses of cloud seeding techniques. The book presents case studies from around the world, analyzing the successes, failures, and methodologies used in various cloud seeding projects. It also addresses ongoing debates about the effectiveness and environmental impacts of cloud seeding, offering a balanced view of its potential and limitations. This comprehensive approach aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of cloud seeding, separating scientific facts from misconceptions.

    Illness is not simply a matter of biology. Our thoughts, conscious or otherwise, can make us feel pain or become unwell. If you experienced side effects from your Covid vaccine, the chances are that these were caused by your belief that you would experience them. When a nurse tells you 'this is going to hurt', it generally does - but perhaps it shouldn't. 
     
    In this revelatory study, neuroscientist Helen Pilcher explores the hidden impact of the 'nocebo effect' - the placebo's evil twin. Medical studies have proven the nocebo effect to cause pain, nausea, paralysis, seizures, and even blindness. The nocebo effect impacts how we grow sick and grow old, explains why people who don't have food allergies have dietary intolerances, and why adults and teenagers are equally susceptible to catching tics through social media. 
     
    From Havana Syndrome to hex deaths, chronic pain and mystery illnesses, this book explains what happens when illness, psychology and society meet - and shows us what we can do to become less ill and more well.

    In Made in the USA, Vaclav Smil powerfully rebuts the notion that manufacturing is a relic of predigital history and that the loss of American manufacturing is a desirable evolutionary step toward a pure service economy. Smil argues that no advanced economy can prosper without a strong, innovative manufacturing sector and the jobs it creates. 
     
     
      
    Smil explains how manufacturing became a fundamental force behind America's economic, strategic, and social dominance. He describes American manufacturing's rapid rise at the end of the nineteenth century, its consolidation and modernization between the two world wars, its role as an enabler of mass consumption after 1945, and its recent decline. Some economists argue that shipping low-value jobs overseas matters little because the high-value work remains in the United States. But, asks Smil, do we want a society that consists of a small population of workers doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed? 
     
     
      
    Smil assesses various suggestions for solving America’s manufacturing crisis, including lowering corporate tax rates, promoting research and development, and improving public education. Will America act to preserve and reinvigorate its manufacturing? It is crucial to our social and economic well-being; but, Smil warns, the odds are no better than even.
