Sinopsis

Polar Stratosphere explores the fascinating world of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) and their profound impact on Earth's atmosphere. These icy formations, glowing ethereally in the polar skies, play a critical role in ozone depletion. The book examines the unique meteorological conditions, such as the polar vortex, that allow PSCs to form in the extreme cold of the stratosphere. It then details the chemical reactions occurring on their surfaces and what this means for the ozone layer. The book highlights how PSCs exacerbate ozone depletion due to anthropogenic pollutants, despite being a natural phenomenon. It clarifies the distinction between Type I and Type II PSCs based on their composition, explains how these clouds facilitate the conversion of chlorine and bromine into reactive forms, and describes the processes that contribute to the Antarctic ozone hole and Arctic ozone depletion. Using satellite observations and in-situ measurements, this book offers a process-oriented view of atmospheric chemistry, stratospheric meteorology, and climate science. Polar Stratosphere progresses from introducing fundamental concepts to detailing PSC formation and their chemical impacts, culminating in a discussion of their role in ozone depletion. This approach provides a deeper understanding of the intricate interactions within the polar stratosphere, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Earth sciences and environmental issues.

    If your child has been diagnosed with epilepsy, you may have questions regarding the condition. What causes epilepsy? How is it diagnosed? What are the available treatments? How can I help my child? It is not unusual for a parent to experience feelings of helplessness, fear, grief, or anger after a child has been diagnosed with epilepsy. Local epilepsy associations can provide you with valuable information regarding your concerns. Many associations have helpful resource materials on epilepsy and a staff committed to answering questions and providing information. Often associations offer in-service training to schools which educate others about the condition. Associations may also be able to provide you with support groups, trained professionals, or other families who are facing similar challenges. In some cases, a diagnosis of epilepsy may require little change in lifestyle. In other cases, there may be significant change for the child and the family. In either situation, learning about epilepsy can empower you and help you make informed decisions regarding medical treatment, care, or safety. Learning about epilepsy may also help to alleviate your own anxiety and allow you to focus on the needs of your child.

    Fire and flood, train wreck and tornado—a look at the many disasters Chicago has endured over the years. 
     
     
      
    The story of Chicago is often likened to that of a phoenix rising out of the ashes of the Great Fire. Yet that infamous event was only part of the destruction that has shaped Chicago's identity. 
     
     
      
    This unique history explores the calamities that have befallen the Windy City, such as the 1954 killer water surge that swept in on a calm summer day; the 1967 tornado that ripped through rush hour traffic; the 1886 Haymarket Square riot that put Chicago on the anarchist map; and many other acts of nature and human folly. As you witness a fireproof theater burn, a flood rise up without rain, and one of the greatest maritime disasters occur within city limits, you'll gain a new appreciation for how this city has endured through unexpected tragedies and produced many unlikely heroes.

    Our age will be defined by the climate emergency. Contrary to the doomist narrative that's taken hold about the climate emergency, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it. On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. From the Chinese bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon Musk, to the Danish students who helped to build the world's longest-operating wind turbine, or the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to bend the emissions curve. 
     
     
     
    Through stories that bring people, policy and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable.
