Beschreibung

Gemstone Facts explores the captivating world of gemstones, linking their geological origins to their cultural significance. It explains how Earth sciences, specifically geological processes like magmatic activity, create these beautiful minerals. Did you know that the unique conditions required for diamond formation involve intense pressure deep within the Earth? Or that the vibrant colors of rubies and sapphires come from trace elements present during their creation? The book uniquely weaves together the science of gemstone formation with their historical and cultural roles.

 
Moving from the basics of mineralogy to the specific conditions for creating key gemstones like emeralds and opals, it then investigates how civilizations from ancient Egypt to modern times have used gems for adornment, status, and even spiritual practices. This approach emphasizes that the allure of gemstones stems from both their physical rarity and their integration into human societies.

 
Finally, the book addresses the modern gemstone industry, including mining practices, ethical considerations, and valuation. By connecting Earth sciences with anthropology, history, and economics, Gemstone Facts provides an interdisciplinary perspective, making it valuable for students, enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of these coveted treasures.

    Features a new "where are they now" section, with updates about lives of expedition's original climbers and updated resources based on the "Anti-Racism in the Outdoors" (ARITO) guide. 
     
     
     
    Outdoor journalist James Edward Mills's book, The Adventure Gap, is a groundbreaking volume that is equal parts adventure story, history, and inspiration as it chronicles the first American all-Black summit attempt on Denali in 2013. Mills uses this momentous expedition as a jumping-off point to explore diversity in the outdoors, from Mathew Henson who stood at the North Pole in 1909 to contemporary adventurers such as polar explorer Barbara Hillary and rock climber Kai Lightner. 
     
     
     
    This tenth anniversary edition once again shares the compelling events that unfolded during Expedition Denali's summit bid. But it also provides fresh context: A new thought-provoking afterword by Mills examines what has evolved in and around the outdoor community since that effort. He highlights progress and inspiring stories, such as Full Circle Everest, an expedition led by Phillip Henderson that put an all-Black team on top of the world's highest peak. And he points to places where we can and should all strive for higher achievement. The Adventure Gap has become an essential text in outdoor education and inspiration—a story of our times, now more relevant than ever.

    The Enigma cipher was supposed to be the German's impenetrable defence for its military communications against prying eyes during World War II. All manner of secrets were entrusted to it. When the Allies finally managed to crack the code, it heralded a turning point in the war. 
     
    This is the fascinating story of how the code was created, adopted by the Nazis, and finally broken. Dermot Turing, the nephew of the great codebreaker Alan Turing, explores the twists and turns of German encryption efforts from the end of World War I through to Hitler's demise and the great lengths to which the Allies went to break it. 
     
    The Enigma Story reveals the efforts of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the machines called 'bombes' specially designed to break it, and the vast resources devoted in America to decrypting German messages. From the cloak-and-dagger heroics of men like Hans-Thilo Schmidt and Gustave Bertrand to the brilliant mathematical discoveries of men like Henryk Zygalski and Dilly Knox to the fraught decision-making of Allied High Command, the battle for the code was at the heart of the Allied victory in World War II. 
     
    This extraordinary tale of intrigue, ingenuity and courage brings to life the complete story of the Enigma in a lively and entertaining narrative.
