Sinopse

Seismic Waves explores the fascinating science of earthquakes and the waves they generate, providing insight into Earth's interior and its dynamic processes. These seismic waves, including P-waves and S-waves, are not only responsible for the shaking we feel during an earthquake but also act as a planetary-scale "CAT scan," allowing scientists to map the Earth's inner layers. The book examines how fault mechanics and rock properties influence wave propagation, revealing how energy is released and transferred through the Earth.

 
This exploration of seismology begins with a historical context, tracing the evolution of our understanding from early observations to modern techniques in geophysics and geology. The book progresses logically, first introducing fundamental concepts and then delving into the factors influencing wave generation and propagation. Finally, it discusses the effects of seismic waves on geological structures and the practical applications of seismology, such as earthquake hazard assessment and structural engineering.

 
The book adopts a fact-based approach, using data from seismographic readings, geological field studies, and simulations to present a comprehensive view accessible to students, researchers, and anyone interested in earth sciences.

From Big Bang to Black Holes -...

Dirk Fallon

The origins of the universe are a subject of profound scientific interest and philosophical debate. The most widely accepted explanation for the birth of the cosmos is the Big Bang Theory. According to this theory, the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point around 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity contained all of the matter and energy that would eventually form stars, galaxies, planets, and everything else that makes up the cosmos.
The event itself wasn’t an explosion in the traditional sense but a rapid expansion of space itself. Immediately following the Big Bang, the universe began to expand exponentially, a process known as cosmic inflation. During this phase, the universe grew from smaller than the size of an atom to a vast, nearly infinite expanse in an instant. The rapid expansion allowed matter and energy to cool, leading to the formation of elementary particles such as quarks, electrons, and neutrinos. As the universe continued to expand and cool, quarks combined to form protons and neutrons, which eventually led to the creation of simple atomic nuclei like hydrogen and helium.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the universe cooled enough for electrons to combine with protons and form neutral hydrogen atoms. This allowed light to travel freely, marking the beginning of what is known as the "cosmic dark ages." During this time, the universe was nearly invisible to the human eye, as light was scattered by free electrons. Eventually, gravity began to take hold, pulling matter together to form the first stars and galaxies.

Controlled Explosions in Mental...

Charlie Heriot-Maitland

Have you ever wondered why your brain self-sabotages? Or why your actions seem self-defeating or destructive?

Each chapter guides the listener through key examples of controlled explosions, identifying and exploring their possible functions.

The friendly, accessible narrative, teamed with guided examples to aid self-practice, makes this book the ultimate companion for navigating your mental health. 
 
This book supports the path to self-awareness, helping the listener take control of their own struggles with insight, care, and compassion. It's a must-have for any listener looking to better understand their mental health and wellbeing.
