The Bonds that Hold

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

Cohesion is the force that holds matter together. It is responsible for the structure and properties of all matter, from the smallest atoms to the largest galaxies. Without cohesion, the universe would be a chaotic soup of particles flying apart in all directions.

In this book, we take a comprehensive journey into the world of cohesion, exploring its history, its different types, and its role in various aspects of our universe. We start by delving into the early theories of cohesion, from the ideas of ancient philosophers to the groundbreaking work of scientists like Newton, Laplace, and van der Waals. We then move on to the modern understanding of cohesion, based on quantum and statistical mechanics, which has revolutionized our understanding of this fundamental force.

We also explore the different types of intermolecular forces that contribute to cohesion, including van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, and ionic bonds. We discuss the strength of these forces and how they determine the properties of different substances, such as their melting point, boiling point, and solubility.

Furthermore, we investigate the role of cohesion in different states of matter, including gases, liquids, and solids. We examine how cohesion affects the behavior of these substances and how it explains their unique properties. We also explore the role of cohesion in biological systems, such as cells and tissues, and in materials science, such as metals, ceramics, and polymers.

This book is a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in understanding the fundamental forces that shape our universe. It is written in a clear and engaging style, making it accessible to readers of all levels. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or simply someone who is curious about the world around you, this book will provide you with a deeper understanding of cohesion and its role in our universe.

Global Warming - The Great...

Guy K Mitchell Jr.

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

Global Warming: The Great Deception-The Triumph of Dollars and Politics Over Science and Why You Should Care is the definitive work on the subject of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming.

Guy Mitchell, a businessman with the mind of a scientist, takes a holistic approach and combines scientific analysis with an in-depth review of the political and economic aspects of the subject. He uses proven science and scientific facts to refute every claim of the climate alarmists and proponents of the man-made global warming hypothesis. He exposes the true reasons that the UN, certain politicians, and global investment firms promote global warming fraud. His analysis is an unbiased, scientifically based, insightful, no-holds-barred approach to the subject.

Mitchell employs his keen sense of business acumen to expose the real drivers behind the claims of man-made global warming: research funding, politics, and global economics. Over $1 trillion worldwide has been spent on global warming research with nothing of substance to show for it. Certain politicians in the US and Western Europe embrace the fraudulent hypothesis with no apparent understanding of the science or the socioeconomic impact that the abandonment of fossil fuels would have on the world economy or the reliability of the power grids that drive it.

Why do the U.N. and certain politicians in the U.S. and Western Europe continue to promote the fraudulent global warming hypothesis? It is all about the money - money for research and to affect socio-economic change. For many politicians, it is all about the power - the power to control the lives of the electorate. Power is the ultimate narcotic. And money follows power in politics.

Do Elephants Have Knees? and...

Charles R. Ault

What makes a penguin a bird? Is a camel more closely related to a horse than to a giraffe? Why is a whale not a fish? Similar puzzles preoccupied Charles Darwin throughout his life. Whimsy, in the playfulness of stories for children, is a way to appreciate Darwinian histories. 
In Do Elephants Have Knees? Charles R. Ault Jr. uses the fanciful imagery of story to explain Darwinian thought. At the same time, he launches careful consideration of Darwin’s humanity, the origins of his curiosity, and the reach of his ideas. 
Ault’s approach illustrates the value of story form in learning science and provides a wealth of resources for enriching courses that focus on Darwin’s ideas. “Good storytelling mines curiosity,” Ault writes, “and exuberant playfulness enriches a disciplined study of science.”
