  Marine Pollution - What Everyone...

  Judith S. Weis

  For millennia, human societies have viewed the ocean as a dumping ground for waste products of all kinds. The sources of marine pollution are extensive, including oil spills, sewage, fertilizers, pesticides, industrial wastes, heavy metals, ocean acidification, plastics, and even invasive species, considered biological pollution. Yet, the solutions are not as clear. 
   
  Updated to reflect recent research, this book discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers the aftermath of oil spills in addition to "emerging" topics like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics and how they rise through the food chain into human beings, along with their associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.

  The Scariest Planets We've Ever...

  The universe is filled with wonders, but some of its most fascinating worlds are also the most terrifying. While Earth offers stability, warmth, and an atmosphere that sustains life, countless exoplanets lie scattered across the galaxy with conditions that defy imagination. These distant worlds are not just inhospitable—they are the stuff of nightmares.  
    
  The discovery of these hostile planets has revealed just how extreme nature can be. Some are scorched by relentless heat, while others are locked in frozen desolation. Toxic gases, deadly storms, and crushing gravity make these worlds far more menacing than anything we might encounter on Earth. Exploring these terrifying planets is not just about uncovering their horrors; it’s about understanding the universe itself.  
    
  One key factor that determines a planet’s hostility is its proximity to its star. Planets that orbit too close are often scorched by intense radiation, while those too far away freeze in endless darkness. But even planets in stable orbits can become dangerous if their atmospheres are packed with poisonous chemicals or if they experience violent weather patterns. Some worlds are plagued by hurricane-force winds that rip across the surface, while others endure storms of molten glass that shred everything in their path.
