Sinopsis

"Scientific Minds" explores the lives and groundbreaking achievements of pioneering scientists, revealing what drives individuals to dedicate themselves to expanding our understanding of the world. The book illustrates how scientific innovation is often a collaborative effort, building upon previous discoveries, and highlights the vital roles of observation, experimentation, and theory in scientific progress.

 
Readers will discover how figures like Marie Curie, whose research on radioactivity revolutionized medicine and physics, faced skepticism and adversity while pushing the boundaries of knowledge. The book presents in-depth profiles, examining each scientist's early life, formative experiences, key discoveries, and lasting impact. For example, the book delves into Alan Turing's theoretical contributions to computer science and codebreaking efforts, while also exploring the challenges Charles Darwin faced in introducing his theory of evolution by natural selection.

 
By incorporating excerpts from letters and diaries, "Scientific Minds" offers a direct connection to the scientists' thought processes. Structured to provide a comprehensive overview of scientific milestones, the book begins by introducing core principles of scientific inquiry and establishing a historical framework. It draws connections between science, history, and sociology to offer a holistic perspective on the scientific endeavor, emphasizing the social impact of scientific discoveries. By avoiding excessive jargon, "Scientific Minds" remains accessible to a broad audience interested in science, biography, and the history of scientific exploration.

    For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

    In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

    Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently.
     
    
     
    The book's goal is for the listener to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications. From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the listener through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the listener a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.
     
    
     
    The book also takes a distinctively human look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.
