Sinopse

Polar Night explores the phenomenon of prolonged darkness in the Arctic and Antarctic, revealing its profound impact on polar ecosystems, wildlife adaptations, and human settlements. This seasonal event, lasting weeks or months, challenges life in unique ways, from disrupting circadian rhythms to influencing migration patterns. Understanding the polar night is crucial, especially considering the effects of climate change on these sensitive environments.

 
The book delves into the science behind the polar night, differentiating between types of twilight and examining the physiological and behavioral adaptations of polar fauna. For instance, some animals modify their feeding strategies, while others rely on specialized sensory adaptations to navigate the darkness. Human settlements in the Arctic also face challenges, including seasonal affective disorder, prompting adaptations in architecture and cultural practices.

 
Furthermore, the book highlights the hurdles faced by scientific research during the polar night, detailing how researchers employ specialized equipment and innovative techniques to study the atmosphere, ice, and ocean in extreme conditions. By drawing from peer-reviewed publications, firsthand accounts, and interdisciplinary research, Polar Night offers a comprehensive view of this frequently overlooked aspect of polar science, progressing from astronomical principles to the ecological and social impacts of prolonged darkness.

WALKING EUROPE'S EDGE -...

Stephen Powell

Portugal is both a celebrated and an unknown land. Millions come to enjoy its beaches and the fashionable coastal cities of Lisbon and Porto. In this sense it looms large in the minds of many. But its out-of-the-way places, its turbulent history and contemporary challenges are little-known outside of the country's boundaries. 
From autumn 2018 to spring 2019, British journalist Stephen Powell traveled the length of Portugal, following a zigzag path of nearly 1,500 kilometers on foot. Away from the mass tourism, he wanted to form his own unhurried impressions of this very distinctive country. 
He discovered a very mixed reality. The dark side was the blight of rural exodus that is emptying so many villages. But he also found a profoundly generous, warm-hearted people with time to converse - a gift that is not found everywhere. 
"Stephen Powell's beautifully written account of his life-changing walk through Portugal enriches the reader with his insights and impressions of the country's history, culture, scenery and spirit. For me, the book was a fascinating journey of discovery through Portugal's lesser-known provinces..."

You Know Me Al

Ring Lardner

Jack Keefe is a talented, brash, and conceited young bush-league pitcher. Impervious to both advice and sarcasm, Keefe rises to the heights, but his inability to learn from his mistakes might just be his undoing. Told through a series of letters written from Keefe to his friend, Al, this baseball classic maintains a balance between the funny and the moving, the pathetic and the glorious. 
Nostalgic in its view of pre–World War I America, a time before the "live" ball, a time filled with names like Ty Cobb, Charles Comiskey, Walter Johnson, and Eddie Cicotte, this is not a simple period piece. It is about competition, about the ability to reason, and, most of all, it is about being human. First published in 1914, You Know Me Al tells us as much about ourselves today as it did nearly a hundred years ago.
