Sinopse

Pole Vault Physics explores the science behind this incredible sport, revealing how athletes convert kinetic energy into potential energy to soar to amazing heights. The book examines the energy transfer process, showing how vaulters transform their run-up speed into the elastic potential energy of the pole, and then back into the kinetic and gravitational potential energy needed to clear the bar. It also analyzes the biomechanics of the athlete's technique, from the initial run-up to the final release, illustrating how each movement contributes to overall performance. This book uniquely blends physics with practical coaching insights, bridging the gap between scientific principles and real-world athletic application. For instance, the evolution of vaulting poles from rigid materials to flexible fiberglass and carbon fiber highlights how material science has revolutionized the sport. The book progresses logically, starting with fundamental concepts of energy and mechanics, then moving into detailed analyses of each phase of the vault, and concluding with advanced training techniques informed by physics. By dissecting each phase of the vault through the lens of energy transfer and biomechanical efficiency, Pole Vault Physics provides coaches, athletes, and enthusiasts with actionable insights. The book provides a comprehensive perspective by integrating rigorous physics analysis with practical coaching insights.

Under the Henfluence - Inside...

Tove Danovich

Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
 
 
 
From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.

Impasse - Climate Change and the...

Roy Scranton

A Next Big Idea Club "Must Read" for August 2025! 
 
Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." 
 
The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing. 
 
It's past time to free ourselves from our dangerous and dogmatic faith. Such unwarranted optimism will accelerate our disintegration. If we want to have hope for the future, it must be grounded in a recognition of human limits—a view Scranton calls ethical pessimism. 
 
Scranton describes the challenges we face in making sense of our predicament, from problems in communication to questions of justice, from the inherent biases in human perception to the difficulties of empirical knowledge. What emerges is a challenging but hopeful proposition: if we have the courage to accept our limits, we may find a way to embrace our future.

Weather Science - How...

Brian Clegg

Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
 
For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
 
From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

Randy Stevens

How to harvest delicious honey in your backyard to give your flowers the boost they need?
"Bees," says your friend, casually. The bee colonies they started a couple of years ago have ensured fully pollinated plants and great harvests. This, not to mention the side business he started selling the honey and wax. They suggest you do it, too.
Few reasons to keep bees, including:Pollinating your other plantsImproving harvestsHarvesting honey, wax, and pollenSupporting the local ecosystem
In recent years, there has substantial growth in urban agriculture and homesteading. This includes beekeeping. Aside from the benefits of a better garden and outdoor activity, it helps the ecology and food supply.
The Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that if the trend continues, by 2035 the common honeybee might disappear. This means that at a macro-level these highly effective pollinators are needed more than ever.
Beekeeping is a meditative and relaxing activity. Handling bees with ease in full gear, you can't help but look like a rockstar.
Here's a fraction of what you'll discover in Beekeeping for Beginners:Step by step instructions for setting up and cultivating your bee coloniesDrones, workers, and queen, oh my! Understanding bee colony dynamics for a happy hiveGardening for bees - finding your bee's favorite plants for productive coloniesA complete list of considerations and expectations to determine if beekeeping is for youBuilding your beehive with effective design and straightforward constructionProtecting your hive from common threats and keeping them healthyHow to find the necessary support to avoid costly mistakes
