Summary

Magnet Storms explores the increasingly relevant threat of solar storms and their potential to disrupt modern technology. It examines the science behind these events, such as coronal mass ejections, and how they interact with Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. These interactions can induce geomagnetic disturbances, potentially crippling power grids, communication systems, and satellite networks, highlighting our vulnerability due to reliance on technology.

 
The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating astrophysics, geophysics, and engineering to explore this complex issue. It analyzes historical events like the Carrington Event to illustrate the disruptive potential of severe solar storms.

 
Beginning with the Sun's activity cycle, the book progresses through the science of CMEs and flares, their interaction with Earth, and the impacts on critical infrastructure, culminating in a discussion of mitigation strategies. This approach offers a holistic view of the challenge posed by solar storms.

    The news about wildlife is dire—more than 900 species have been wiped off the planet since industrialization. Against this bleak backdrop, however, there are also glimmers of hope and crucial lessons to be learned from animals that have defied global trends toward extinction: bears in Italy, bison in North America, whales in the Atlantic. These populations are back from the brink, some of them in numbers unimaginable in a century. How has this happened? What shifts in thinking did it demand? In crisp, transporting prose, Christopher Preston reveals the mysteries and challenges at the heart of these resurgences. 
 
 
 
Drawing on compelling personal stories from the researchers, Indigenous people, and activists who know the creatures best, Preston weaves together a gripping narrative of how some species are taking back vital, ecological roles. Each section of the book offers a philosophical shift in how humans ought to think about animals, passionately advocating for the changes in attitude necessary for wildlife recovery. 
 
 
 
Tenacious Beasts is quintessential nature writing for the Anthropocene, touching on different facets of ecological restoration from Indigenous knowledge to rewilding practices. More important, perhaps, the book offers a road map—and a measure of hope—for a future in which humans and animals can once again coexist.
