Beschreibung

Sneeze Science explores the surprisingly complex world of sneezing, revealing it as more than just a simple bodily function. This fascinating exploration delves into the biology, cultural implications, and even the physics behind sternutation. Why do sneezes sound the way they do? How do different cultures react to a sneeze? What makes pepper trigger this reaction? The book answers these questions, providing a unique lens through which to understand human physiology and cultural diversity. For example, bright light can trigger sneezing in some people, a phenomenon known as the photic sneeze reflex.

 
The book begins by examining the anatomy and physiology of sneezing, then explores the various triggers, from allergens and irritants to the photic sneeze reflex. A significant portion focuses on the cultural significance, exploring how societies have historically interpreted and responded to sneezes. The book's unique approach blends scientific rigor with cultural sensitivity, making complex concepts accessible while examining the social implications of this everyday occurrence. Readers will gain insights into the fascinating science behind this common human experience.

Black Holes - Supermassive Black...

Steff Jaywan

This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
Galaxies - Galaxies are dynamic entities, constantly evolving through processes like mergers, collisions, and interactions with neighboring galaxies. When galaxies merge, their stars, gas, and dust can undergo dramatic transformations, leading to the formation of new stars and restructuring of the galaxy's shape. These interactions can trigger intense bursts of star formation and feed supermassive black holes at the galaxies' centers, leading to the emission of powerful jets of radiation. 
Supermassive Black Hole - Black holes form through various processes that involve the collapse of massive astronomical objects and the merging of smaller black holes. One primary method is the stellar collapse. Stars, during their lifecycle, fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores. When the hydrogen is depleted, they begin fusing heavier elements until iron is produced. For stars more than 20 times the mass of the Sun, the end of this fusion process leads to a supernova explosion. The core of the star collapses rapidly due to gravity, and if the core's mass is sufficiently large (typically more than about three times the mass of the Sun), it will continue collapsing into a singularity, forming a stellar-mass black hole.
