Synopsis

Mirage Effects explores the science behind those shimmering illusions we sometimes see, explaining how atmospheric optics and temperature gradients create these captivating phenomena. It delves into the physics of refraction, illustrating how light bends as it passes through air of varying densities, leading to optical illusions like the classic "highway mirage." Understanding mirages isn't just about physics; it's also about recognizing the limitations of our perception, something crucial for anyone navigating extreme environments.

 
The book examines different types of mirages, including inferior, superior, and lateral, detailing the specific atmospheric conditions needed for each. For instance, it illustrates how superior mirages, often seen in polar regions, can make distant objects appear taller or even float above the horizon.

 
By integrating theoretical physics with real-world examples and historical narratives, Mirage Effects offers a unique perspective on how these atmospheric phenomena have influenced exploration and navigation throughout history. The book progresses from fundamental principles of light and refraction to in-depth discussions of mirage types, concluding with practical applications in fields like navigation and astronomy. It uses diagrams, real-world examples, and ray-tracing simulations to visually explain complex concepts, making the science accessible and engaging for anyone interested in physics, earth sciences, or the captivating world of optical illusions.

Inside the Invisible Cage - How...

Hatim Rahman

In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an "invisible cage." 
 
 
  
Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people. 
 
 
  
Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.

Returning the Self to Nature -...

Jeanine M. Canty

Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
 
 
 
Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
 
 
   
Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
 
  
 
Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.
