Sinopsis

Giant Telescopes explores the incredible instruments that allow us to observe the universe, revealing how engineering and scientific principles combine to unlock cosmic mysteries. These massive telescopes aren't just tools; they are gateways to understanding fundamental physics and the formation of galaxies. The book emphasizes how the continuous pursuit of larger, more sophisticated telescopes is essential for advancing astronomical knowledge.

 
The book traces the development of telescopes, highlighting the challenges of atmospheric interference and how adaptive optics and space-based telescopes overcome these hurdles. Did you know that some giant telescopes use advanced data processing and simulation to analyze astronomical data? Or that new materials are crucial for building larger and lighter telescope mirrors? Each chapter examines specific examples like the Very Large Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, detailing their unique design features and key discoveries.

 
The book progresses from fundamental principles of telescope design to specific examples, and finally, to the future of telescope technology. The aim is to make complex concepts accessible to a broad audience, connecting astronomy with engineering, computer science, and materials science. Ultimately, Giant Telescopes demonstrates how these instruments are not only expanding our knowledge of the cosmos but also driving advancements in other fields.

    With employers offering free flu shots and pharmacies expanding into one-stop shops to prevent everything from shingles to tetanus, vaccines are ubiquitous in contemporary life. The past fifty years have witnessed an enormous upsurge in vaccines and immunization in the United States: American children now receive more vaccines than any previous generation, and laws requiring their immunization against a litany of diseases are standard. Yet, while vaccination rates have soared and cases of preventable infections have plummeted, an increasingly vocal cross section of Americans have questioned the safety and necessity of vaccines. In Vaccine Nation, Elena Conis explores this complicated history and its consequences for personal and public health. 
    Vaccine Nation opens in the 1960s, when government scientists—triumphant following successes combating polio and smallpox—considered how the country might deploy new vaccines against what they called the “milder” diseases, including measles, mumps, and rubella. In the years that followed, Conis reveals, vaccines fundamentally changed how medical professionals, policy administrators, and ordinary Americans came to perceive the diseases they were designed to prevent. She brings this history up to the present with an insightful look at the past decade’s controversy over the implementation of the Gardasil vaccine for HPV, which sparked extensive debate because of its focus on adolescent girls and young women. Through this and other examples, Conis demonstrates how the acceptance of vaccines and vaccination policies has been as contingent on political and social concerns as on scientific findings. 
    By setting the complex story of American vaccination within the country’s broader history, Vaccine Nation goes beyond the simple story of the triumph of science over disease and provides a new and perceptive account of the role of politics and social forces in medicine.
