How Technological Advances...

Matteo Bordiga, Baojun Xu

Diet is key to understanding the past, present, and future of our species. Much of human evolutionary success can be attributed to our ability to consume and preserve a wide range of foods. Technological advances changed the types of foods we eat. With this consideration, How Technological Advances Change Human Food weaves together various themes, starting with human evolution, moving on to methods of food preservation, and continuing with the evolution of cooking methods. Issues relating to sustainability are also reported, including green food processing, vertical farming, and edible insect farming. There is a close link between what we eat and the development of our gut microbiota; thus, this book covers the evolution and adaptation of microbiota. 
 
Key Features: 
Contains a common thread in how technology has changed food and diet and its implicationsFocuses on the evolution of methods for both food preservation and cookingExplains the evolution and adaptation of gut microbiota in relation to diet

Tsunami Days

John Barnie

"We need more writers with bite. We have lived in the flatlands too long," writes John Barnie in one of his 'observations' ('Art in the Flatlands'). And bite he delivers.

Ranging across politics, history, culture, ecological disaster, the meaning of truth, poetry, what we mean by identity and more… Barnie shares a window onto the world that is both erudite and particular. Leaning towards pessimism in a darkening world, these observations are often provocative, not from any bullish desire to antagonise, but as the result of mining a rationalist line of thought with an honesty and consistency that is applied as much to the author as to his subjects. There is a clarity here that some may find uncomfortable, but the aim is always dialogue above agreement; intellectual engagement above cheap solutions and sentimentality.

Barnie asks us to think, consider and dig deeper, but most of all he asks that we "…live richly among our secondary self-created meanings, while recognising them for what they are. To face without flinching the nullity of the great void." ('Varieties of Meaning')
Tsunami Days is a vital collection of essays for those prepared to engage with its unflinching observations.

Optical Physics - Principles and...

Mark Hedges

Optical physics is a foundational branch of physics that explores the behavior, properties, and interactions of light with matter. Light, in its various forms, plays a critical role in both natural phenomena and technological advancements. Understanding its fundamental nature is essential for applications ranging from imaging systems to communication networks and quantum technologies. This chapter introduces the basic principles of optical physics, covering the nature and properties of light and the historical development of optical science. 
Light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties, a duality that has been central to the development of modern physics. As an electromagnetic wave, light consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space. The wavelength and frequency of these oscillations determine the characteristics of light, including its color in the visible spectrum. The wave theory of light explains many optical phenomena such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, all of which are essential in optical technologies. However, light also behaves as a stream of particles called photons, as demonstrated by the photoelectric effect. This particle-like nature of light laid the foundation for quantum optics and photonics, which are crucial for contemporary research and applications.
