Sinossi

"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.

The Physics of NASCAR - The...

Diandra Leslie-Pelecky, Ray...

Every NASCAR fan—at one time or another—asks the same question: Why isn't my favorite driver winning? This is your chance to discover how much more there is to NASCAR than "Go fast, turn left, and don't crash." If you've ever wondered why race cars don't have mufflers, how "bump drafting" works, or what in the world "Let's go up a pound on the right rear and add half a round of wedge" means, The Physics of NASCAR is for you. 
 
 
 
In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800-horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another. 
 
 
 
Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car—and maybe occasionally looks under the hood—can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest. 
 
 
 
Listeners, start your engines.
