Sinopse

Antarctic Mountains unveils the hidden world beneath Antarctica's ice, revealing extensive subglacial mountain ranges. These mountains, comparable to major ranges on other continents, profoundly influence ice sheet dynamics and global sea level rise. This book explores how mapping these ranges, understanding their geological history, and investigating their impact on climate patterns are crucial for predicting future environmental changes. For example, the topography of these mountains controls the flow of ice streams, affecting the ice sheet's overall stability. The book presents a comprehensive view of Antarctic geography, climate science, and geological principles, making complex topics accessible. It details methods like radar sounding and seismic surveys used to map these hidden landscapes. Furthermore, it highlights the geological history of these mountains by analyzing rock samples and remote sensing data, connecting them to global tectonic events. A key focus is the interplay between geology and glaciology, traditionally separate fields, providing a complete picture of the Antarctic environment and its role in the Earth system. Concluding with a discussion on the implications for future sea-level rise and climate trends, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding these subglacial features. By synthesizing geophysical data, geological analyses, and climate modeling, it offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in polar science and environmental issues. The book progresses systematically, building from the discovery of these ranges to their broader implications for our planet's future.

The History Trees

Colin Salter

The ultimate photographic collection of the most historic trees on the planet.
Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves.
“[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post
First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City.
Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings.
Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants.
For fans of Gene Stone (Animalkind), Scott Christianson (Fatal Airs), Valentina D'Efilippo (The Brain), Simon Sebag Montefiore (Stalin), and Nigel Farndale (Haw-Haw).

Science and Health - Knowledge...

Rogan Fish

Science and Health: Knowledge and Medicine in Ancient Rome (3 in 1) explores the intellectual and spiritual forces that shaped Roman civilization, from its groundbreaking scientific ideas to its religious beliefs and the formidable enemies it battled across centuries. 
In Roman Medicine and Science, uncover the practical and philosophical roots of Roman knowledge—how doctors, engineers, and scholars applied Greek theory, astrology, and firsthand experience to treat the sick, build aqueducts, and study the stars. Roman Religion and Mythology dives into the gods, rituals, and sacred practices that infused daily life with divine meaning and political power. From Jupiter to household spirits, religion in Rome was deeply entwined with science, healing, and war. The Roman Empire and Their Enemies offers a dynamic look at Rome’s greatest rivals—Persians, Carthaginians, Germanic tribes, and more—examining how these conflicts influenced Rome’s scientific developments, medical needs, and mythic self-image. 
Together, these three books reveal how Romans understood the world—through logic and legend, reason and ritual. Ideal for readers fascinated by ancient science, belief systems, and military history, this volume reveals how Rome's view of knowledge shaped its rise—and echoed through its fall.
