Sinossi

Snow Insulation Properties reveals the hidden world beneath the winter landscape, highlighting snow's crucial role as a natural insulator. More than just a picturesque scene, snow profoundly impacts mountain ecosystems, habitats, and even the very geography of these regions. 

 
The book explores how snow acts as a thermal regulator, maintaining ground temperatures and providing a stable environment for life to thrive. One intriguing fact is that snow's unique structure traps air, hindering heat transfer from the ground to the atmosphere.

 
 The book examines the physics of snow insulation, the ecological communities that depend on it, and the geomorphological effects of persistent snow cover. It progresses from the microphysics of snow to the ecological communities beneath the snowpack, and finally, to the geomorphological impacts.

 
 Understanding these properties is essential for comprehending the delicate balance of life in cold environments and the implications of climate change. The book emphasizes that snow isn't just a passive layer but an active force shaping ecological and geomorphological processes.

    Science is so f*cking rad. We don't deserve it. 
     
     
     
    What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop listening right now. But although most of us don't actually understand quantum physics, and if we understood it we'd probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong? 
     
     
     
    Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry! 
     
     
     
    Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it's getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.

    50 Situations Awaiting Every Forensic Scientist is a personal guide to navigating the unique challenges and opportunities faced by America's forensic laboratory scientists. Charged with the awesome responsibility of giving a voice to the most commonly collected items of crime scene evidence, these highly trained professionals have a profound and lasting impact on the fairness and efficiency of our criminal justice system. In this thoughtful collection of heartfelt advice, humorous reflections, and candid self-admissions, acclaimed forensic laboratory administrator and expert witness coach, John M. Collins, encourages readers to stand tall in the face of adversity and opportunity. There is no such thing as a typical forensic science career, but there are situations, both common and uncommon, that can disorient even the most capable professionals if they are not prepared for them. Written from the perspective of one of the most recognized and respected forensic science leaders, not only in the United States but also internationally, 50 Situations promises to inspire and motivate, while also cautioning forensic scientists to remain alert for situations that are especially threatening or perplexing. Luck favors the prepared, which is why this book is a must-read for forensic science professionals at all levels of experience and responsibility who are interested in maximizing their individual effectiveness. 
    Two special features have been included in the 2nd edition for readers who are students or practicing forensic scientists. The first is the addition of five coaching questions at the end of each situation to facilitate reflection and discussion for both individuals and study groups. The second is a special chapter addressing criticisms launched against forensic science professionals by innocence activists in the criminal justice reform movement. While recognizing the legitimacy of this movement, the author puts these criticisms into their proper context.

    Beyond Evolution - How New...

    Is it possible that one of the biggest obstacles to harmonizing science and faith can finally be overcome? Respected biologist and former atheist Sy Garte says the answer is yes. A flash point for much of the science vs. faith divide has been Darwinian evolution. Sharing the same mistaken belief that science contradicts the Bible, especially the Genesis account of creation, many scientists and many Christians have concluded that the worlds of science and religion are at odds. But according to biologist Sy Garte, PhD, evolution is irrelevant to the harmony of faith and science. And revolutionary new developments in biology are providing stronger evidence than ever before of a purposeful creator God. In his new book, Dr. Garte combines the latest research with a biblical worldview as he explains:  how scientific progress has been hindered by the reluctance of many biologists to follow the evidence wherever it leads because of their fear of opening the door to theism  why misunderstandings about both the Bible and science have caused many people to unnecessarily abandon Christianity  why evolution by natural selection isn’t as important to science as many people think―and why it matters  how new evidence of purpose, agency and decision-making at the cellular level points to a creator God  how a reductionist, purely materialistic view of life ignores new advances in science  In Beyond Evolution, Sy Garte challenges both scientists and people of faith to follow the evidence wherever it leads―and argues powerfully for why that evidence warrants a belief in God.
