Synopsis

Tectonic Forces explores the powerful processes constantly reshaping our planet through plate tectonics.This book highlights how the movement of Earth's lithosphere results in dramatic geological events.Did you know that the continents fit together like puzzle pieces, and that the distribution of fossils supports the idea of continental drift?The book emphasizes that understanding tectonic forces is crucial for mitigating natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes, and for sustainably managing Earth's resources.

 
The book examines Earth's structure and the forces driving plate movement, such as mantle convection and slab pull.It then delves into specific geological features associated with different types of plate boundaries.For example, the book discusses how mid-ocean ridges form at divergent boundaries.It avoids complex jargon, opting for an accessible style suitable for anyone interested in Earth sciences and geography.

 
The book progresses from basic concepts to the broader implications of plate tectonics, including its influence on climate change and the formation of ore deposits.It emphasizes the interplay between tectonic processes and geological time scales, illustrating how slow plate movement leads to significant changes over millions of years.This comprehensive approach makes it a valuable resource for general readers, students, and educators alike.

    In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
     
     
     
    In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
     
     
     
    Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.

    Can one prove that 1 + 1 = 2? How long is the coastline of Britain? Which US president proved Pythagoras's theorem on right-angled triangles? Who originated the quadratic equation we learned at school? In how many ways can you tile your bathroom? Is there a formula for prime numbers? How often are two winning lottery numbers consecutive? Who was the witch of Agnesi? What is "the most important theorem in mathematics"? Who scratched mathematical equations on a Dublin bridge? What is a "space-filling curve"? Must all infinities be the same size?These and many other questions are answered in this book which presents eighteen "Stories" featuring famous mathematical equations and their historical development. The equations arise from geometry, arithmetic, algebra, calculus, combinatorics, number theory, and mathematical logic, and range over 4,000 years from early counting and circle measurement via Renaissance algebra to fractal geometry, and from the geometry of the ancient Greeks via the development of calculus to Boolean algebra and computing. Presented in a straightforward, intelligible, and entertaining manner, Sum Stories is written for general audiences of all ages with an interest in mathematics and its historical development.
