Summary

"Glass Forms Naturally" explores the fascinating geological phenomenon of fulgurites, the glassy formations created when lightning strikes sandy soils. These natural glasses offer a unique window into the power of lightning and the composition of the earth. Intriguingly, the book reveals how the moisture content and specific characteristics of lightning strikes play a crucial role in fulgurite formation. Understanding these factors helps scientists predict where fulgurites might be found and interpret their unique structures.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with basic concepts in geology and physics, and gradually building to more complex topics like fulgurite morphology and chemical properties. It examines the history of fulgurite research, combining geological, physical, and chemical perspectives. This approach highlights the practical applications of fulgurite research, such as their use as paleoenvironmental indicators, providing valuable insights into climate change, geological history, and the impact of extreme weather events.

    Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.
