Summary

Fire Rainbow Science explores the mesmerizing world of circumhorizontal arcs, often mistaken for rainbows. These vibrant displays of light occur when sunlight refracts through hexagonal ice crystals in cirrus clouds, painting the sky with spectral colors. The book delves into the atmospheric optics behind this phenomenon, revealing how specific conditions, like temperature and sunlight angle, must align for these "fire rainbows" to appear.

 
The book progresses from fundamental meteorological principles to advanced concepts like ice crystal morphology and atmospheric radiative transfer. By analyzing observational data, satellite imagery, and computer simulations, it reveals the predictable nature of these seemingly rare events.

 
Discover how climate change may influence the frequency and distribution of circumhorizontal arcs, and gain practical skills for observing and photographing these breathtaking displays. This unique resource offers a comprehensive synthesis of scientific literature and visual representations, making complex light interactions accessible to weather enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone curious about atmospheric phenomena. It bridges earth science, climate science, and even art, providing a holistic understanding of this stunning natural spectacle.

    From Terrain to Brain - Forays...

    In From Terrain to Brain, Professor Erika Szymanski makes wine science accessible to non-experts. Rather than approach wine science as body of facts about wine, Szymanski explores how wine science can open up multiple ways of seeing, understanding, and appreciating wine. 
     
     
     
    Too often, wine science is presented as a comprehensive body of knowledge that enthusiasts aiming to become experts should memorize. This book instead uses scientific research to explore wine as an endlessly rich cultural phenomenon. By foregrounding recent research and developments in wine science, From Terrain to Brain presents wine science as a work-in-progress rather than a codified body of knowledge. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter takes listeners on a journey or "foray" through a topic in wine science, such as minerality, climate, microbiome, and yeast. Chapters are organized from "terrain" (geography, terroir, soil) and cell "membrane" (microbiology) through "brain" (the experience of tasting) and "drain" (sustainability). Throughout, From Terrain to Brain emphasizes that wine science, wine culture, and tradition are interconnected and places scientific research in social and historical context.

    Leadership is a set of abilities with which a lucky few are born. They're the natural relationship builders, master negotiators and persuaders, and agile and strategic thinkers. The good news for the rest of us is that those abilities can be developed. In The Leader's Brain: Enhance Your Leadership, Build Stronger Teams, Make Better Decisions, and Inspire Greater Innovation with Neuroscience, Wharton Neuroscience Initiative director Michael Platt explains how. 
     
     
     
    Over two decades as a professor and practitioner in neuroscience, psychology, and marketing, Platt's pioneering research has deepened our understanding of how key areas of the brain work—and how that understanding can be applied in business settings. 
     
     
     
    In The Leader's Brain, Platt explains: why two managers, when presented with the same set of information, make very different decisions; why some companies (Apple) build strong social and emotional connections with their customers and others do not (Samsung); how some of the most significant events in sports history, like the "Miracle on Ice," contain insights for how to build a team; and why even some of the most visionary business leaders can make disastrous decisions, and how to fix that. The Leader's Brain relates findings like these, and many more, to help enhance leadership in an ever-shifting world entering a "new normal."
