Sinossi

Solar System Formation explores the fascinating origins of our planetary system, detailing how a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust evolved into the Sun, planets, and smaller bodies we observe today. The book emphasizes that understanding these primordial processes is key to unlocking the secrets of planet formation throughout the universe. Did you know that the architecture of our solar system, with its rocky inner planets and gas giants further out, is a direct result of the sequential events within this disk? The book delves into how planetesimals accreted from dust grains, eventually forming protoplanets.

 
The book adopts a clear and accessible approach, first building a foundation in astrophysics and cosmochemistry before diving into planet formation. It explores topics like the accretion of planetesimals, the dynamics of planetary migration, and events like the Late Heavy Bombardment. Evidence is drawn from astronomical observations, analyses of meteorites, and computer simulations. By integrating these diverse fields, the book provides a holistic view of solar system formation, highlighting the complex interplay of physical and chemical processes that shaped our cosmic neighborhood.

 
The book progresses through the key stages of solar system formation, from the structure of protoplanetary disks to the formation of the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud.

Electro Girl

Lainie Chait

Lainie Chait was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1991 at the age of 19. At the time of diagnosis, there were three roads to go down - avoidance, acceptance or rebellion. Avoidance was her first choice. Falling in the shower, brain jerks and muscle twitches when she was 14 was the beginning of something 'not quite right' about her early teenage years. She hid these symptoms from family and friends for three years in the hope that they were just ‘growing pains’.As she started reaching the age of independence (18 in Australia) and started to drink, stay up late and go out partying, these ‘growing pains’ turned into a seizure condition that could no longer be ignored. Eventually doctors, diagnoses and medicines were brought into the equation.She tried acceptance but at the time it wasn’t the right fit, as the very thought of taming down her young, fun life and replace it with medicine, early nights and mature personal decisions was just too hard to fathom. Rebellion then became her main focus and she achieved this by partying, staying up late and ignoring the triggers. This mindset carried with it an enormous amount of embarrassment and shame. She constantly felt like a failure after each of the 250+ Grand Mal seizures she endured over 25 years. But she wasn’t just rebelling against a diagnosis; she was rebelling against a system that has the capacity to make you feel better but at a price that also keeps you in a place of perpetual illness. She needed to know why she had epilepsy and the only way she was going to find this out was to take herself off all the meds and research it, live it, feel it, document and manage it for herself.She did this much to the horror of her doctors, friends and family. She went on a journey to get to know her brain and what makes it tick and glitch. The journey was about finding out just how much control she did and didn’t have over her seizures.Electro Girl is Lainie Chait's story of resilience, growth and self advocacy.
