Sinopsis

Rainbows, those fleeting arcs of color, are more than just pretty sights; they're physics in action. Rainbow Science explores the atmospheric phenomena behind these optical wonders, revealing how light interacts with water droplets to create the vibrant displays we observe.

 
The book unpacks the science, starting with the basics of light refraction and reflection, explaining why rainbows consistently appear as arcs and how our viewing position matters. The book progresses systematically, building from fundamental principles to the specific conditions needed for rainbow formation, such as droplet size and sun angle.

 
Later chapters delve into rarer types like supernumerary rainbows and fog bows, each a result of unique atmospheric conditions. Sir Isaac Newton's work on optics laid the groundwork, and the book builds on this to explore wavelengths and angles of refraction, assuming only a basic science background.

 
What makes Rainbow Science unique is its accessible approach. Avoiding jargon, it explains complex concepts in plain language, suitable for anyone from science enthusiasts to students. It showcases how understanding rainbows connects to broader fields like meteorology and even the design of optical instruments.

 
The book emphasizes that every rainbow, no matter how rare, is a predictable outcome of physical laws, offering a deeper appreciation for the elegance of science.

Nostradamus - The Prophesies of...

Kelly Mass

Michel de Nostredame, referred to as Nostradamus in Latin, was a French astronomer, doctor, and presumed seer mostly known for his work Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains supposedly predicting future events. In the year 1555, the book was first released. 
Since the release of his Les Prophéties, Nostradamus has acquired a very large following of followers who, in addition to the majority of the well-known press, credit him with properly anticipating many essential historic events. 
Many of scholastic sources deny that Nostradamus had any true super prophetic skills, saying that the connections he made between international events and his quatrains were the repercussion of misconceptions or mistranslations (at times purposeful). 
These experts also point out that Nostradamus' predictions are usually uncertain, meaning they might be applied to practically anything, and for that reason are unhelpful in developing whether or not the writer has true prophetic powers. 
In this book, let’s take a look at what he predicted and if any of it came true.

50 Situations Awaiting Every...

C. John Collins

50 Situations Awaiting Every Forensic Scientist is a personal guide to navigating the unique challenges and opportunities faced by America's forensic laboratory scientists. Charged with the awesome responsibility of giving a voice to the most commonly collected items of crime scene evidence, these highly trained professionals have a profound and lasting impact on the fairness and efficiency of our criminal justice system. In this thoughtful collection of heartfelt advice, humorous reflections, and candid self-admissions, acclaimed forensic laboratory administrator and expert witness coach, John M. Collins, encourages readers to stand tall in the face of adversity and opportunity. There is no such thing as a typical forensic science career, but there are situations, both common and uncommon, that can disorient even the most capable professionals if they are not prepared for them. Written from the perspective of one of the most recognized and respected forensic science leaders, not only in the United States but also internationally, 50 Situations promises to inspire and motivate, while also cautioning forensic scientists to remain alert for situations that are especially threatening or perplexing. Luck favors the prepared, which is why this book is a must-read for forensic science professionals at all levels of experience and responsibility who are interested in maximizing their individual effectiveness.
Two special features have been included in the 2nd edition for readers who are students or practicing forensic scientists. The first is the addition of five coaching questions at the end of each situation to facilitate reflection and discussion for both individuals and study groups. The second is a special chapter addressing criticisms launched against forensic science professionals by innocence activists in the criminal justice reform movement. While recognizing the legitimacy of this movement, the author puts these criticisms into their proper context.
