Beschreibung

"Deep Sea Extremes" explores the remarkable world of life in the deepest parts of our oceans. It investigates how organisms adapt to extreme conditions like immense pressure and scarce nutrients, highlighting the stark contrast between nutrient-poor ocean basins and the vibrant hydrothermal vent ecosystems. These deep-sea organisms demonstrate extraordinary biological adaptations, pushing the boundaries of what we know about life's possibilities.

 
This book delves into how deep-sea creatures acquire energy, adapt physiologically, and form unique ecological relationships. Did you know some organisms thrive on chemical energy from hydrothermal vents, while others have developed specialized enzymes to function under extreme pressure?

 
The book uses a clear, engaging scientific approach, balancing detailed information with accessible explanations for a broad audience, making complex concepts understandable to those interested in nature, science, and biology.

 
Beginning with the unique physical and chemical aspects of the deep-sea environment, "Deep Sea Extremes" progresses into specific adaptations and concludes by examining the broader implications for understanding the limits of life. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive view of deep-sea life, from students to researchers, showcasing the incredible plasticity and adaptability inherent in biological systems.

Hybrid Cars - The Motive Power...

Owen Jones

Hybrid cars, and indeed, all electric vehicles are playing a rôle in the salvation of the planet’s eco-system. At least, in respect to the world supporting human life. However, hybrid cars will one day be replaced by vehicles that use no irreplaceable energy at at all, once the technology is there. It is likely that there will be at least two such power sources in the near future: electricity and hydrogen – but who knows what else will be available?
Hybrid and electric cars are revolutionizing the automotive landscape, offering a myriad of advantages that extend beyond the traditional internal combustion engine. One of the primary benefits is environmental sustainability. Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, significantly reducing air pollution and carbon footprint. As the world grapples with climate change, the shift towards electric vehicles is a crucial step in mitigating environmental impact.
Furthermore, these vehicles contribute to energy efficiency. Hybrid cars combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, optimizing fuel consumption and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Electric cars, relying solely on electric power, boast high energy efficiency and cost savings over time. With advancements in battery technology, electric cars now offer extended ranges and faster charging times, addressing concerns about range anxiety.
Beyond environmental and economic advantages, hybrid and electric cars provide a smoother and quieter driving experience. The instant torque delivery in electric motors enhances acceleration, making these vehicles not only eco-friendly but also performance-oriented. As governments worldwide incentivise the adoption of cleaner technologies, the advantages of hybrid and electric cars position them as the driving force in the future of sustainable and efficient transportation.

Time - A Very Short Introduction

Jennan Ismael

What is time? What does it mean for time to pass? Is it possible to travel in time? What is the difference between the past and future? Until the work of Newton, these questions were purely topics of philosophical speculation. Since then we've learned a great deal about time, and its study has moved from a subject of philosophical reflection to instead became part of the subject matter of physics. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction introduces listeners to the current physical understanding of the direction of time, from the Second Law of Thermodynamics to the emergence of complexity and life. Jenann Ismael charts the line of development in physical theory from Newton, via Einstein's Theory of Relativity, to the current day. In this new vision, time is one of the dimensions in which the universe is extended alongside the spatial dimensions. The universe appears as a static block of events, in which there is no more a difference between past and future than there is between east and west. Discussing the controversy and philosophical confusion which surrounded the reception of this new vision, Ismael also covers the contemporary mixture of statistical mechanics, cognitive science, and phenomenology that point the way to reconciling the familiar time of everyday sense with the vision of time presented in Einstein's theories.
