Floating Rocks

Sinopse

Floating Rocks explores the fascinating phenomenon of volcanic pumice, rocks that defy their density to float across oceans. This book examines how explosive volcanic eruptions create these floating rocks, detailing the crucial role of vesicularity – countless air pockets – that make pumice buoyant. These pumice rafts aren't just geological oddities; they significantly impact marine ecosystems by transporting marine organisms and influencing coastal erosion.

 
The book delves into well-known pumice raft events, such as the one from the 2012 Havre Seamount eruption, using satellite imagery and biological surveys to track their movement and ecological effects. It connects volcanology, oceanography, and marine biology to provide a comprehensive view of how these floating islands act as agents of dispersal and change, potentially introducing species to new environments. This interdisciplinary approach sets it apart from studies focusing solely on geology.

 
Progressing from pumice formation to real-world pumice raft events and their ecological consequences, the book offers insights into the dispersal of marine species and the risks of invasive species. Aimed at students, researchers, and enthusiasts, Floating Rocks provides accurate, objective information with practical applications for marine conservation and hazard assessment.

Singularity Rising - Surviving...

James D. Miller

In Ray Kurzweil's New York Times bestseller The Singularity is Near, the futurist and entrepreneur describes the Singularity, a likely future utterly different than anything we can imagine. The Singularity is triggered by the tremendous growth of human and computing intelligence that is an almost inevitable outcome of Moore's Law. Since the book's publication, the coming of the Singularity is now eagerly anticipated by many of the leading thinkers in Silicon Valley, from PayPal mastermind Peter Thiel to Google co-founder Larry Page. The formation of the Singularity University, and the huge popularity of the Singularity website kurzweilai.com, speak to the importance of this intellectual movement. 
But what about the average person? How will the Singularity affect our daily lives—our jobs, our families, and our wealth? 
Singularity Rising: Surviving and Thriving in a Smarter, Richer, and More Dangerous World focuses on the implications of a future society faced with an abundance of human and artificial intelligence. James D. Miller, an economics professor and popular speaker on the Singularity, reveals how natural selection has been increasing human intelligence over the past few thousand years and speculates on how intelligence enhancements will shape civilization over the next forty years. 
Miller considers several possible scenarios in this coming singularity: A merger of man and machine making society fantastically wealthy and nearly immortal Competition with billions of cheap AIs drive human wages to almost nothing while making investors rich Businesses rethink investment decisions to take into account an expected future period of intense creative destruction Inequality drops worldwide as technologies mitigate the cognitive cost of living in impoverished environments Drugs designed to fight Alzheimer's disease and keep soldiers alert on battlefields have the fortunate side effect of increasing all of their users' IQs, which, in turn, adds a percentage points to worldwide economic growth  
Singularity Rising offers predictions about the economic implications for a future of widely expanding intelligence and practical career and investment advice on flourishing on the way to the Singularity.

Hidden in the Heavens - How the...

Jason Steffen

Are we alone in the universe? It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars—especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars—a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction. 
 
 
 
Steffen offers a unique, inside account of the work of the Kepler science team (and the sometimes chaotic interactions among team members), mapping the progress of the mission from the launch of the rocket that carried Kepler into space to the revelations of the data that began to flow to the supercomputer back at NASA—evidence of strange new worlds unlike anything found in our own solar system.
