When the Ice is Gone - What a...

Paul Bierman

In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
 
 
 
In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
 
 
 
Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.

Be Fruitful and Multiply - How...

Donald Worster

A groundbreaking history that explores how human desires have affected our relationship with the natural world, and why this is a cause for hope Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization. This meticulously researched book explores how human desires have driven us to overrun our environments, and how we have adapted by creating new relationships with the earth. Tying the past to the future and humans to the planet, Worster acknowledges that we are at a potentially dangerous tipping point. Yet he offers a surprisingly optimistic vision, full of faith in the strength of our human desires, to help us develop exciting futures in a changing world—as we have done time and again—and achieve a good life for the billions of us trying to survive on a finite planet.

Cosmology's Dark Secrets -...

Dirk Fallon

The vastness of the universe has always stirred human curiosity, evoking questions that seem to stretch beyond the reach of science and into the realm of the unknown. As far back as ancient civilizations, people looked up at the night sky and wondered about the lights scattered across it. With the advancement of technology and scientific understanding, we have come to learn much about what lies beyond our atmosphere. Yet, despite all we know, there remains an overwhelming sense that we are only scratching the surface of a far deeper reality.
The observable universe refers to the portion of the cosmos we can detect through light and other forms of radiation. With telescopes, we can peer billions of light-years into space, essentially looking back in time to the early moments following the Big Bang. However, what we can observe is just a fraction of the entire cosmos. Beyond this visible boundary lies a realm shrouded in darkness, not because it is absent, but because it is inaccessible to our current instruments. This horizon, defined by the limits of the speed of light and the age of the universe, presents a fundamental boundary to what we can ever know.
Despite the sophistication of our tools, human perception is still tied to what light allows us to see. We rely heavily on electromagnetic radiation—visible light, radio waves, X-rays—to map and understand the structure of the cosmos. However, this reliance imposes a narrow filter on our understanding. There may be phenomena that exist completely outside the spectrum we can currently detect. The deeper we explore, the more we realize that the cosmos may be full of activity and matter that leave no trace in the form of light.
