Sinossi

Humans have used tools since our species arose hundreds of thousands of years ago. But our ability to send specialized tools, robotic spacecraft, into the heavens and leave our mark on the cosmos has spanned only the last 60 years. This book is a chronicle of our attempts to send these robotic travelers beyond Earth orbit, to the Moon, to other planets and their moons, to the Sun, to comets, to minor planets, to dwarf planets, and ultimately beyond the solar system. This remarkable international chronology goes from the early Cold War superpower competition to more recent and compelling scientific quests. From Sputnik to Cassini to Mars rovers and many more, this book is filled with many technical details and also stories of incredible hardships and successes of robotic space exploration.

    Chaos and nonlinear dynamics are fundamental concepts in understanding the behavior of complex systems. Unlike linear systems, which exhibit proportionality and predictability, nonlinear systems often display unexpected, highly sensitive, and seemingly random behaviors. This unpredictability, despite being governed by deterministic rules, is the hallmark of chaos theory. 
    The study of chaos and nonlinear dynamics has evolved over centuries, but it gained prominence in the 20th century with the advent of modern computing. One of the most well-known figures in this field is Edward Lorenz, a meteorologist who, in the 1960s, discovered that small changes in initial conditions could lead to vastly different outcomes in weather models. This phenomenon, later termed the "butterfly effect," became a defining feature of chaotic systems. Lorenz’s discovery challenged the classical notion that the universe operates like a clockwork mechanism, reinforcing the idea that certain systems, though deterministic, are inherently unpredictable. 
    Nonlinear dynamics appear in a wide array of disciplines, from physics and engineering to biology and economics. In physics, chaotic motion is evident in fluid turbulence, celestial mechanics, and quantum systems. Engineering applications include secure communication systems that exploit chaotic signals for encryption. Biological systems, such as neural activity in the brain and heartbeat irregularities, also follow nonlinear principles. Ecological systems, particularly predator-prey relationships and population dynamics, demonstrate chaotic fluctuations over time. Even in finance, stock market movements and economic cycles exhibit nonlinear behaviors that make precise long-term predictions nearly impossible.

    Birds Beasts and Bedlam -...

    Birds, Beasts and Bedlam recounts the adventures of farmer-turned-rewilder Derek Gow, who is saving Britain’s much-loved but dangerously threatened species, from the water vole to beaver, wildcat to white stork, and tree frog to glow worm. Derek tells us all about the realities of rewilding: how he reared delicate roe deer and a sofa-loving wild boar piglet, moved a raging bison bull across the country, got bitten by a Scottish wildcat, returned honking skeins of graylag geese to the land and water that was once theirs, and restored the white stork to the Knepp Estate with Charlie Burrell and Isabella Tree. Derek’s first book, Bringing Back the Beaver, was a riotously funny and subversive account of his single-handed reintroduction of the beaver in Britain. Birds, Beasts and Bedlam, a natural successor to Gerald Durrell’s A Zoo in My Luggage, tells the story of Derek’s rewilding journey and his work to save many more species by transforming his Devon farm into a wildlife breeding center. He now houses beavers, white storks, water voles, lynx, wildcats, and harvest mice, with the aim of releasing them into the wild one day. Tearing down fences literally and metaphorically, Derek Gow is the one person with the character and strength of will to defy authority, bend the rules, and save our wildlife.
