Beschreibung

Oxygen Planets explores the exciting search for life beyond Earth by focusing on exoplanets with oxygen-rich atmospheres. While oxygen is often seen as a sign of life, this book investigates how oxygen can also be created through non-biological processes, like the splitting of water molecules by starlight, emphasizing the need to understand these abiotic sources to avoid misinterpreting data. The book highlights the revolution in exoplanet characterization made possible by advanced telescopes, which allows scientists to analyze exoplanet atmospheres and assess their potential for habitability. This book emphasizes a comprehensive approach to assessing exoplanet habitability, advocating for the integration of planetary science, biology, and astrophysics. It examines the role of oxygen in Earth's history and explores various non-biological mechanisms that could lead to oxygen accumulation on other planets. By considering geological, chemical, and atmospheric factors, Oxygen Planets aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of the potential for life on exoplanets. The book begins with an overview of exoplanet detection and characterization techniques before delving into the complexities of oxygen as a biosignature. It proceeds to discuss abiotic oxygen sources and concludes by exploring the implications for future space exploration missions, focusing on how understanding abiotic sources of oxygen is crucial for assessing the habitability of planets and guiding the search for extraterrestrial life.

Walking The Invisible: An...

Michael Stewart

See through the eyes of the Brontës as you immerse yourself in their lives and landscapes, wandering the very same paths they each would have walked in search of the inspiration behind their novels and poetry.
An ‘imaginative and elegant trek through the landscape of the Brontës’ Grazia
In his journey to get closer to the Brontës, award-winning author Michael Stewart began walking the historic paths they trod while writing their most famous works. From Liverpool to Scarborough, across wild, windy, and often unforgiving scenery, he discovered echoes of the siblings’ novels. And with the help of an unlikely cast of Yorkshire’s inhabitants, Michael found himself falling further into their lives and writings than he could ever have imagined.
Vivid and evocative, and including a series of beautiful maps of walks Michael devised when creating the iconic Brontë Stones project, Walking the Invisible invites you to experience the lives and landscapes that inspired the Brontës as they’ve never been experienced before. Along the way, you’ll find yourself getting closer to classics such as Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, discovering the real locations behind their fictional settings, and uncovering the myths that surround this much acclaimed and wholly unique family.
This literary biography is a special recreation of the Brontës lives, taking you on a personal journey through regional hikes, nature, and travel. It's a top memoir that brings you closer to these iconic figures, making it the best way to experience their world.
For fans of S. P. Muir (You're Where Now?), Christopher Hardy (Motorcycle Touring), Anita Sethi (I Belong Here), Aa Publishing (The Uke of Wallington), and Maggie O'Farrell (I Am, I Am, I Am).

Experiments on Plant Hybridisation

Gregor Mendel

Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk in the St. Thomas monastery in Brno. His seminal paper "Experiments on Plant Hybridization" presents his results of studying genetic traits in pea plants. It is the ground breaking work on inheritance, being the first to differentiate between dominant and recessive genetic traits. His work was long ignored and deemed controversial, however, at its rediscovery at the turn to the 20th century, it earned Gregor Mendel the title "father of modern genetics". (Summary by Availle)

Quantum Mechanics

Introbooks Team

Quantum mechanics? Just hearing the name, we get sick. It seems to be something complicated (and is), but here I will try to explain this theory in simple terms. However, this does not mean that you will go to understand quantum mechanics. As Niels Bohr said, "who says he understands quantum mechanics, you have not understood it." Does it look like something strange, doesn't it? Yes so. Quantum mechanics challenges our common sense. 
Quantum mechanics is the theory that describes the behavior of the universe at the microscopic level; are composed of atoms and subatomic particles and quantum mechanics explains the behavior of these basic units. Hence, the name: Mechanical (explain behavior) quantum (the microscopic world, the quantum). 
There are three explanations for this schizophrenic behavior of nature at the level of atoms and subatomic particles, but none of them are officially accepted by the scientific community. We can say that the most important is that quantum mechanics works, and explanations may be to philosophers.
