  Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
   
   
   
  In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.

  The question is no longer if electric vehicles will happen, or even when they'll happen, but how. Veteran automotive reporter Mike Colias takes you inside the transformation in this thoroughly reported profile of the hard pivot in the car business, a $2 trillion industry undergoing the biggest change in its 120-year history—a change that is already sending ripples across the entire global economy. 
   
   
   
  Colias documents the inevitable shift from pistons to electrons from every angle, taking you inside the boardrooms where executives battle over their EV strategies to take on Tesla and, more recently, emerging Chinese powerhouses such as BYD. He brings you to family-run car dealerships deciding if they'll sell EVs—or sell their businesses. He follows entrepreneurs along lonely stretches of road that will soon need charging stations. He talks to power-train engineers whose skills were once the beating heart of the automotive industry but who now find themselves being replaced by coders. 
   
   
   
  Inevitable is a deeply enjoyable and smart book that uses masterful storytelling to capture the expanse and dynamism of the transition to electric vehicles in profound detail, bringing to life its seismic effects on everything and everyone.

  Atomic Hide-and-Seek - The...

  In the annals of modern history, few inventions have cast as long and dark a shadow as the atomic bomb. Its birth marked a seismic shift in human capability, wielding the power to obliterate entire cities and reshape geopolitical landscapes. Yet, from its inception, the atom's power has not merely been a matter of spectacle but of concealment. Beneath the publicized detonations and treaty negotiations lies a quieter, more insidious game—one where nations and non-state actors seek to hide their most devastating weapons in plain sight. 
  This hidden game began almost as soon as the atomic bomb was developed. During the Manhattan Project, secrecy was paramount, not just to protect scientific progress but to ensure strategic advantage. The veil of secrecy surrounding nuclear weapons set the stage for an enduring tradition of concealment. As the technology proliferated, so too did the techniques for hiding these weapons: underground silos, mobile launchers, and entire programs buried under bureaucratic misdirection. The Cold War, in particular, saw the emergence of elaborate strategies of obfuscation, where intelligence agencies and military powers engaged in a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek. 
  At the heart of this game lies a paradox. The destructive potential of nuclear weapons is unparalleled, yet their true power is magnified when shrouded in uncertainty. A hidden arsenal not only evades preemptive strikes but also exerts a psychological toll on adversaries, forcing them to account for every possibility. This uncertainty has become a tool of diplomacy, coercion, and deterrence, embedding itself deeply into the fabric of international relations.

  At the heart of the universe lies a hidden world of fundamental particles and forces that shape all matter and energy. Particle physics seeks to understand the tiniest building blocks of nature, from quarks and leptons to the elusive Higgs boson, while nuclear physics explores the atomic nucleus, the powerful interactions that bind protons and neutrons, and the forces driving nuclear reactions, including fusion and fission. 
  This collection delves into the deep mysteries of matter, covering the essential theories, experiments, and discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of the subatomic world. From the Standard Model to the behavior of particles in high-energy collisions, and from the structure of the atomic nucleus to the applications of nuclear science in medicine and energy production, these works provide a comprehensive foundation in the physics of the smallest scales. Whether you're fascinated by the origins of the universe, the workings of particle accelerators, or the quest for new physics beyond the Standard Model, this book serves as a gateway to the fundamental principles that govern our reality.

  The Apple II Age - How the...

  Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If you want to understand how Apple Inc. became an industry behemoth, look no further than the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the engineer Steve Wozniak and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II became one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning industry. 
   
   
    
  The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn't found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple's founders, or the way it set the stage for the company's multibillion-dollar future. Instead, historian Laine Nooney shows, what made the Apple II iconic was its software. In software, we discover the material reasons people bought computers. The story of personal computing in the United States is not about the evolution of hackers—it's about the rise of everyday users. 
   
   
    
  Recounting a constellation of software creation stories, Nooney offers a new understanding of how the hobbyists' microcomputers of the 1970s became the personal computer we know today. The Apple II Age offers an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu—and why so much of it converged around the pioneering Apple II.
