Synopsis

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.

The Wireless World - Global...

Friederike Kind-Kovacs, Andrea...

The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
 
 
 
Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.

Stranded - Finding Nature in...

Maddalena Bearzi, Carl Safina

Marooned in LA by the pandemic, a marine biologist rediscovers the delights and wonders of the natural world in her own backyard. 
 
 
 
Conservationist and marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi made her career studying the wild creatures of the deep, but when COVID-19 made landfall on the California coast this seafaring scientist found herself shuttered up ashore, her wide blue world constricted by pandemic lockdown. Never good at sitting idle, she despaired at the confines of her Los Angeles flat—until she began to find wonder in the wilderness of her own backyard. 
 
 
 
Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA. With a green thumb and a canine sidekick, she finds as much to marvel at in her garden's singing blackbirds, night-blooming cacti, and industrious wasps as in the whales, dolphins, and sea lions at the center of her maritime adventures. Discovering in the quotidian an antidote to the grief occasioned by captivity and climate chaos, Bearzi reveals how each of us can take heart, find courage, and discover inspiration in the thrumming systems of life that surround us. With a scientist's precision and a poet's instinct, she invites us to look at, listen to, and revel in the everyday grandeur of the natural world—and to embrace, with urgency, our responsibility to sustain it.
