Synopsis

"Earth Hums Constantly" explores the intriguing phenomenon of the Earth's hum, a continuous low-frequency vibration detected worldwide. This subtle hum offers a unique window into Earth's interior, potentially revealing secrets about its structure and dynamics. The book investigates how advancements in seismology and the deployment of global networks of seismometers enabled the discovery of this constant vibration. Understanding the Earth's hum can improve seismic monitoring techniques, refine models of Earth's interior, and provide insights into the planet's response to environmental changes. The book systematically examines the proposed sources of the Earth's hum, including atmospheric turbulence and ocean wave activity, showing how these forces contribute to the planet's free oscillation. It presents evidence from seismic data and theoretical models, addressing challenges in distinguishing the hum from other seismic signals. Connecting Earth science with atmospheric science, oceanography, and geophysics, the book emphasizes the interdisciplinary approach needed to understand our planet. Beginning with the hum's discovery and early debates, the book progresses to analyze its characteristics at different locations and depths. It culminates in a discussion of how studying the Earth's hum can enhance our understanding of Earth's structure and its response to significant environmental changes, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in planetary science and Earth dynamics.

Diamond is Fragile

Rustem Valayev

"The novels about precious stones tell about the nature, structure and search of the gems, as well as their history. Some of them are dedicated to the Russian gems, specifically to the Ural and Ukrainian emeralds, topazes and decorative stones. The thrilling storylines of the novels are interwoven with folk legends, myths and fairy tales." - Rustem Valayev, author 
"Diamond is Fragile was one of my favorite books from my late grandfather's library. Much to my surprise (and dismay) it was only published once in the former Soviet Union approximately 50 years ago and (to the best of my knowledge) has never been published abroad. 
I was inspired to translate Diamond is Fragile into English by my father-in-law - Thom Seymour, Sr. - due to his passion for geology and history (topics amply covered in the book). I hope that other English-speaking readers who are interested in these disciplines will enjoy it as well." - Maria K., translator

Welcome to Dragon Talk -...

Shelly Mazzanoble, Greg Tito

In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
 
 
  
Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

Two Years Before the Mast

Jr. Richard Henry Dana

While there are many books upon the subject of sea life, there are few that can compare with Two Years Before the Mast. It is the story of a sailor's life from the forecastle, not a captain, nor a passenger, but a regular hand. The book was a great favorite with the jack tar of Dana's day, and two thousand copies are said to have been sold to Liverpool sailors in a single day. Even those who haven't the faintest idea what reefing topsail is, or which is starboard and which larboard, will find it an engaging story of an era long past told in simple narrative style.
