Sinopse

Leaf Colors explores the captivating transformation of green leaves into the vibrant hues of autumn, delving into plant biology and the science behind fall foliage. The book explains how photosynthesis, the process where plants convert sunlight into energy using chlorophyll, slows down as days shorten. This decrease in chlorophyll production reveals other plant pigments like carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple), creating the stunning seasonal display. Understanding these processes offers insights into forest ecology and climate science.

 
The book progresses from basic plant biology to detailed explanations of photosynthesis and pigment production. It also examines tree growth, detailing how trees transport water and nutrients using xylem and phloem. By examining these processes, readers gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of life and the environmental factors influencing plant life.

 
The book uses a factual and informative approach, aiming to present complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner.

    Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why? 
     
     
     
    In Nightmare Fuel, Nina Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? And why do we keep coming back for more? 
     
     
     
    Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. 
     
     
     
    With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time. 
     
     
     
    With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror's most popular films—from classics like The Exorcist to modern hits like Hereditary—and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, Nightmare Fuel is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.

    A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
    Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
    
    "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
    "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
    "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
    "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
    "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
    "This memoir is astounding. I'm reading it a second time."—VANESSA REDGRAVE
    "A volume filled with moving, entertaining and fascinating memories, by one of our great stage and screen writers."—PETER TATCHELL
    "On the Boardwalk is full of audacity and joyfulness, jokes and tears, it blew my mind, as it will blow yours." – PETE TOWNSHEND
    "He writes like Philip Roth—but even funnier."—RUBY WAX
