  The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory is a concise and illuminating journey through one of the most important ideas in human thought: the nature of matter itself. 
  Written in the early twentieth century, Maynard Shipley traces the evolution of atomic theory from its philosophical beginnings in the ancient world to its emergence as a cornerstone of modern science. Beginning with the Pythagoreans and early Greek and Indian thinkers, Shipley explores how number, geometry, and speculation first shaped humanity’s attempts to understand the structure of reality. 
  The narrative follows the development of atomism through Leucippus and Democritus, examining atoms and the void, causal necessity, sensory perception, and the physical properties of shape, size, and arrangement. Shipley contrasts these ideas with competing schools of thought, including the Eleatics’ denial of motion and Anaxagoras’ theory of “seeds,” before turning to Epicurus and Lucretius, whose writings defended atomism against superstition and divine design. 
  In its final chapters, the book connects ancient philosophy to modern science, charting the revival of atomism through thinkers such as Descartes and Gassendi and culminating in John Dalton’s quantitative laws of chemistry. Shipley concludes by linking these early models to modern discoveries—electrons, nuclei, isotopes, and atomic number—showing how a speculative idea became a measurable scientific reality. 
  Clear, thoughtful, and accessible, The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory offers a timeless overview of how human reason slowly uncovered the hidden structure of matter—and laid the foundations of chemistry and physics as we know them.

  For millennia, humans have tried to understand and predict the weather. The Space Age helped usher in satellites and radar, while computers made it possible to plug all that data into complex equations that anticipated the atmosphere's future behavior. Now a new age of advances in forecasting is unfolding, driven by AI, drones, and satellites. The Internet of Things has turned everything from cellphones to cars into ubiquitous weather sensors. Equally significant are new efforts to understand how people respond to forecasts and warnings. Scientists and government officials are realizing that how people get their weather information, and how they use it, are crucial factors in the outcome of a catastrophic weather event. 
   
   
   
  Employing in-depth reporting on cutting edge science and technology, veteran journalist Thomas E. Weber takes us on a tour of how meteorologists, scientists, and officials track and prepare for major weather events. As climate change is altering our planet and making weather events more extreme, Weber introduces us to those on the front lines of weather preparation and prediction. We travel from coast-to-coast, to space and back, meeting TV meteorologists and storm chasers, city planners, backyard weatherman, and many others. Cloud Warriors will change the way you think about the weather—and the power of being able to see it coming.

  The Digital Paradigm Shift - A...

  The journey into the digital age began with the spark of human ingenuity and the desire to simplify complex tasks. Early civilizations laid the groundwork for computation by devising systems to manage trade, record history, and calculate astronomical events. These early tools, such as the abacus and mechanical calculators, may seem rudimentary by modern standards, yet they were the building blocks of a monumental transformation. 
  In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the seeds of the digital age began to take root. Pioneers like Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace envisioned the potential of programmable machines long before the technology to build them existed. Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine contained the first algorithm intended for implementation on a machine, earning her recognition as the world’s first computer programmer. Their ideas laid a conceptual foundation that would inspire future innovators. 
  The advent of World War II catalyzed the development of modern computing. The need for advanced cryptography, ballistics calculations, and logistical coordination drove governments and researchers to invest in computational technologies. Alan Turing, often referred to as the father of computer science, developed the Turing Machine, a theoretical construct that became a cornerstone of computer science. His work at Bletchley Park, cracking the German Enigma code, not only shortened the war but also showcased the immense potential of automated computation.

  What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?
   
  In We Can’t Run Away From This, ultrarunner Damian Hall examines the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency. Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives. But Damian also asks if concentrating on our individual footprints (pun unintended) is really the answer.
   
  We can’t run away from this any more, and this book will give every runner ideas about how to live and exercise more sustainably.
