Sinossi

Asteroid Impact Risks explores the very real dangers posed by asteroids and comets, focusing on the science behind cosmic impacts and humanity's efforts in planetary defense. It highlights the necessity of understanding these threats and developing effective defense mechanisms.

 
The book investigates the frequency and mechanics of impact events, detailing their potential consequences for Earth. For example, the Chicxulub event, which led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, serves as a stark reminder of what can happen.

 
The book progresses from the basic science of asteroids and comets to the current state of near-Earth object (NEO) detection efforts. It emphasizes the importance of continued investment in NEO detection, asteroid deflection, and space missions. Readers will discover the capabilities of ground-based telescopes and space-based observatories in tracking NEOs.

 
Furthermore, it delves into various planetary defense strategies, such as kinetic impactors and gravity tractors, while also addressing the ethical and political considerations surrounding these initiatives.

    As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
