Sinopsis

Cosmic Rays explores the high-energy particles bombarding Earth from beyond our solar system, probing their origins, behavior, and impact. These messengers from the cosmos offer unique insights into extreme astrophysical environments, serving as a direct sample of matter from distant galaxies. The book addresses fundamental questions about what cosmic rays are, where they originate, and what they reveal about the universe, including the nature of dark matter. Did you know cosmic rays can have energies far exceeding anything achievable by human-made accelerators? This book investigates such phenomena.

 
The book begins by introducing cosmic rays' basic properties, such as their composition and energy spectrum. It then progresses to discuss potential sources, from supernova remnants to active galactic nuclei, before concluding with practical applications, including effects on space weather and radiation hazards. The approach synthesizes observational data with theoretical models, providing a current overview of the field.

Brief History of the Universe A...

Dr. Sarah Alam Malik

"A sweeping tour of the laws of physics, the scope of the universe, and the place of life within it." —Sean Carroll, New York Times bestselling author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe 
An elegant exploration of humanity’s continuous search to find the hidden truths of the universe and comprehend our place in the cosmos. 
We have always looked up at the night sky and wondered. Ever since the ancient Babylonians began to track celestial objects on clay tablets, scientific inquiry has been driven by the innate human desire to understand what is out there, and where we fit into it all. 
Renowned particle physicist Dr. Sarah Alam Malik, whose research has brought her to the cutting edge of scientific advancement, takes us on a journey through the discoveries that have at once propelled and overturned our perception of the cosmos. From Copernicus launching a helio-centric revolution to Ernest Rutherford uncovering the world inside the atom, to Vera Rubin confirming the existence of dark matter, each generation has built upon, and then upended, the knowledge of those who came before. 
Even today, as ninety-five percent of the universe remains unknown to us, we cannot help but chase the fundamental truths of our world, as we witness the fiery deaths of faraway suns, probe the nature of dark energy and search for extraterrestrial life in the most unexpected places. 
Beautifully written and accessible, A Brief History of the Universe (And Our Place in It) is a celebration of our story so far, one of discovery and an endless curiosity that has taken us far beyond the boundaries of the world we know.

Microbes - The Unseen Agents of...

David L. Kirchman

For billions of years, microbes have produced and consumed greenhouse gases that regulate global temperature and in turn other aspects of our climate. The balance of these gases maintains Earth's habitability. Methane, a greenhouse gas produced only by microbes, may have kept Earth out of a deep freeze billions of years ago. Likewise, variations in carbon dioxide, another greenhouse gas released by microbes and other organisms, help to explain the comings and goings of ice ages over the last million years. 
 
 
 
Now we face a human-made climate crisis with drastic consequences. The complete story behind greenhouse gases, however, involves microbes and their role in natural ecosystems. Microscopic organisms are also part of the solution, producing biofuels and other forms of green energy which keep fossil fuels in the ground. Other microbes can be harnessed to reduce the release of methane and nitrous oxide from agriculture, and geoengineering solutions that depend on microbes could pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. 
 
 
 
David L. Kirchman introduces a unique and timely contribution to the climate change conversation and the part microbes play in our past, present, and future. He takes listeners into the unseen world behind the most important environmental problem facing society today and encourages us to embrace microbial solutions.
