Sinossi

"Space Time" explores the crucial question of how humanity will perceive and measure time as we become an interplanetary species. The book examines the limitations of Earth-centric timekeeping and the necessity for a universal time system that accounts for relativistic effects. It argues that as space exploration advances, particularly with long-duration spaceflights, a shared and scientifically accurate method for coordinating activities and maintaining a sense of time is essential.For example, the differing daily cycles on Mars compared to Earth highlight the practical challenges of using traditional timekeeping methods in space. The book progresses from the historical context of timekeeping to the complexities of interplanetary time, including the mechanics of time dilation during high-speed space travel. It delves into potential solutions like atomic clocks and pulsar-based timekeeping. "Space Time" uniquely emphasizes the human element, considering the psychological and cultural impacts of redefining our fundamental understanding of time, not just the technical aspects. The book draws upon research in physics, astronomy, and engineering, with data from space missions to illustrate the practical challenges of timekeeping in space.

    Genetics is the branch of biology that focuses on the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. It seeks to understand how traits are passed down from parents to offspring and how these traits are expressed in living organisms. At the core of genetics lies the concept of genes, which are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contain the instructions for the development and functioning of organisms. These instructions guide the creation of proteins, which carry out the majority of biological functions necessary for life. 
      
    Each organism's genetic material is contained within its cells, and it is organized into structures called chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. Within these chromosomes are thousands of genes, each responsible for specific traits. These traits can range from eye color and blood type to more complex characteristics like susceptibility to certain diseases. While many traits are inherited in a predictable manner, some can be influenced by environmental factors or interactions between multiple genes. 
      
    The study of genetics dates back to the mid-1800s with the work of Gregor Mendel, who is often considered the father of modern genetics. Through his experiments with pea plants, Mendel established the basic principles of inheritance, including the ideas of dominant and recessive traits. His work laid the foundation for understanding how traits are inherited in predictable patterns, although the molecular mechanisms were not fully understood at the time.

    A groundbreaking history that explores how human desires have affected our relationship with the natural world, and why this is a cause for hope Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization. This meticulously researched book explores how human desires have driven us to overrun our environments, and how we have adapted by creating new relationships with the earth. Tying the past to the future and humans to the planet, Worster acknowledges that we are at a potentially dangerous tipping point. Yet he offers a surprisingly optimistic vision, full of faith in the strength of our human desires, to help us develop exciting futures in a changing world—as we have done time and again—and achieve a good life for the billions of us trying to survive on a finite planet.

    Orology - The Mountainous World...

    Mountains are among the most awe-inspiring features of the Earth's landscape, rising as towering peaks that shape weather patterns, influence ecosystems, and define the natural borders of continents. Their formation is a complex process driven by immense geological forces acting over millions of years. The primary mechanisms behind mountain building include tectonic activity, volcanic processes, and the gradual effects of erosion and uplift. 
    One of the most significant processes responsible for mountain formation is tectonic activity, particularly through folding and faulting. The Earth's crust is divided into massive plates that float atop the semi-molten mantle. When these plates collide, the immense pressure causes the crust to buckle and fold, resulting in the formation of fold mountains such as the Himalayas and the Alps. These ranges continue to rise as the plates press against each other, making them some of the youngest and most geologically active mountains in the world. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, form when tectonic forces cause large sections of the Earth's crust to break and shift along faults. The Sierra Nevada in North America is an example of a fault-block mountain range created by the movement of these fractured rock masses. 
    Another major contributor to mountain formation is volcanic activity. When magma from beneath the Earth's surface erupts through cracks in the crust, it cools and solidifies, gradually building up into towering volcanic mountains. Over successive eruptions, these formations can grow into massive peaks such as Mount Fuji in Japan or Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Volcanic mountains can form along plate boundaries, particularly in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, or in hotspot regions

    While speaking at a memorial event in 2006, Siri Hustvedt suffered a violent seizure from the neck down. Despite her flapping arms and shaking legs, she continued to speak clearly and was able to finish her speech. It was as if she had suddenly become two people: a calm orator and a shuddering wreck. Then the seizures happened again and again. The Shaking Woman tracks Hustvedt's search for a diagnosis, one that takes her inside the thought processes of several scientific disciplines, each one of which offers a distinct perspective on her paroxysms but no ready solution. In the process, she finds herself entangled in fundamental questions: What is the relationship between brain and mind? How do we remember? What is the self? 
     
     
     
    During her investigations, Hustvedt joins a discussion group in which neurologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and brain scientists trade ideas to develop a new field: neuropsychoanalysis. She volunteers as a writing teacher for psychiatric in-patients at the Payne Whitney clinic in New York City and unearths precedents in medical history that illuminate the origins of and shifts in our theories about the mind-body problem. Hustvedt synthesizes her experience and research into a compelling mystery: Who is the shaking woman? In the end, the story she tells becomes, in the words of George Makari, "a brilliant illumination for us all."
