Sinossi

Mountains Float Crust explores the fascinating concept of isostasy, revealing how mountain ranges interact with Earth's lithosphere and mantle. It explains how mountains, less dense than the mantle, essentially "float," displacing a volume equivalent to their mass. The book highlights how erosion, by removing material from mountain peaks, reduces the load on the crust, triggering further uplift.

 
The book delves into glacial isostatic adjustment, exploring how the weight of ice sheets depresses the crust, leading to subsequent uplift as the ice melts. Presenting data from geological surveys and seismic studies, Mountains Float Crust argues that isostasy governs the long-term stability and vertical movement of mountains. Understanding isostatic principles is also crucial for assessing natural hazards in mountain regions.

 
The book begins by introducing the fundamental principles of isostasy and progresses to explore glacial isostatic adjustment and erosion-driven uplift, using case studies from the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Scandinavian Mountains. This approach connects Earth sciences with geography, ecosystems, and mountain habitats, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in mountain landscapes.

Weather Science - How...

Brian Clegg

Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
 
For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
 
From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

From Outer Space to Inner Space...

Dr. Edgar Mitchell

The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond.
In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.
For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.
Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.
From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.
Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.
