Sinopsis

Exoplanet Detection Methods offers a comprehensive exploration of techniques used to discover and study planets outside our solar system. The book emphasizes optical and spectroscopic methods, revealing how these tools bridge theoretical astrophysics with practical applications. Two pivotal methods discussed are transit photometry, which measures the dimming of a star's light as a planet passes in front of it, and radial velocity measurements, detecting the subtle wobble of a star caused by a planet's gravity. These methods are crucial, as combining them reveals a more complete picture of an exoplanet's characteristics.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with fundamental principles like stellar properties and planetary formation, then delving into specific detection techniques. It covers transit photometry, highlighting missions like Kepler and TESS, radial velocity measurements and direct imaging, including spectroscopic analysis of exoplanet atmospheres. A unique aspect of the book is its integration of theory with practical data analysis, making it valuable for students and researchers alike.

 
The book emphasizes that a complete understanding of exoplanet detection methods is essential to advance the study of planetary formation, habitability, and the possibility of life beyond Earth.

    A mind–bending but brilliantly accessible exploration of the shifting science behind the reality of time. 
     
    What is Now? This immediate moment, what we're experiencing right now . . . it bathes us like air, or gravity. Yet when we try to grasp this quality, to scrutinize it or bring it into focus, it vanishes, slipping through our fingers like a dream. And worse, according to the most trusted models of physics, Now doesn't even exist. If all this is so, then what, exactly, are we experiencing? How do we carve out time, sensation, self, and meaning from a blank, Now–less canvas? 
     
    In In Search of Now, award–winning science writer Jo Marchant attempts to answer these questions with characteristic flair and clarity, taking us on a grand tour of the latest thinking from physics, neuroscience, cosmology, and psychiatry about the fundamental essence and individual experience of time. Part personal journey, part philosophical meditation, and above all a fascinating scientific exploration, In Search of Now shows us what we can learn about time, both from the outside in—the cosmic perspective of physics—and as we experience it, from the inside out.

    A leading neuroscientist describes the long evolutionary process that led to the human brain. 
    Our human brain is both unique and similar to that of other species. The only way we can trace its evolution is by comparing it to the brains of animals alive today. In this book, leading neuroscientist Rogier Mars offers an engaging account of the evolution of the brain by exploring the brains and cognitive capacities of animals from the humble sea squirt to the socially minded fox and the tiny shrew. 
    By examining the challenges that different animals and their ancestors faced, Mars shows that we can understand what drove the evolution of their brains. Early vertebrates became predators of the sea; mammals evolved a complex neocortex to deal with foraging for high-energy food; and social primates adapted to contend with a fast-changing environment in which groups of individuals team up to get food. Over the course of a long evolutionary road, the ancestors of present-day animals and their descendants continually adapted to challenges, modifying their brains again and again. For us humans, this process gradually led to a brain that is capable of so much, from inventing language to traveling into space. 
    Mars leads listeners across eras and species, showing us how we resemble our animal cousins, how we differ from them, and how animals in one branch of the evolutionary tree did the hard evolutionary work of becoming human.

    Piping Hot Bees and Boisterous Buzz-Runners takes listeners inside a world seldom seen even by beekeepers, shedding light on twenty of the most compelling mysteries of honey bee behavior. 
     
     
     
    Thomas Seeley has devoted a lifetime to the study of honey bees and their colonies, unraveling the secrets of these wondrous insects in a career spanning six decades. In this book, he weaves illuminating personal stories with the latest science, explaining such mysteries as how worker bees function as scouts to choose a home site for their colony, furnish their home with beeswax combs, and stock it with brood and food while keeping tens of thousands of colony inhabitants warm and defended from intruders. Along the way, he shares the experiences that drew him to these studies, the small observations that led to big breakthroughs, and the sense of excitement that came with probing each mystery. 
     
     
     
    Piping Hot Bees and Boisterous Buzz-Runners provides a rare look at how a singularly passionate scientist and his colleagues deciphered the pipings, shakings, and puzzling tremble dances of honey bees, and how this journey of scientific discovery continues to shape our understanding of these remarkably intelligent and vitally important insects.
