Sinopse

Hot Cold explores the fundamental principles of heat and temperature, essential elements for understanding the physical world. It delves into how temperature is measured using various methods, from traditional thermometers to modern sensors, and examines the phenomenon of thermal expansion, explaining why materials change size when heated or cooled. Did you know bridges expand on hot summer days due to thermal expansion? Or that bimetallic strips, utilizing this expansion, are found in thermostats? The book progresses from basic definitions of temperature to more advanced applications, such as managing thermal stress in aerospace engineering and designing efficient engines. It highlights how a deep understanding of thermal physics is crucial for informed decision-making in diverse fields, including climate change predictions. The book makes use of real-world examples to illustrate these key concepts. Ultimately, Hot Cold demonstrates the importance of understanding heat and temperature for everyone from homeowners to engineers, offering insights into everyday technology and global challenges.

Principles of Physics -...

Mark Hedges

Physics is the branch of science that seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing the universe. It explores the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, and investigates the forces and interactions that shape the behavior of physical systems. Physics provides the foundation for understanding natural phenomena, from the motion of celestial bodies to the behavior of subatomic particles. It is both a theoretical and experimental science, combining mathematical models with empirical observations to describe and predict physical behavior.
The origins of physics can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers such as Aristotle and Democritus speculated about the nature of matter and motion. However, modern physics began to take shape during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries with the work of Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Isaac Newton. Galileo introduced the concept of systematic experimentation and mathematical analysis, while Kepler’s laws of planetary motion provided empirical support for the heliocentric model of the solar system. Newton’s formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation established a comprehensive framework for understanding the mechanics of bodies in motion.
Physics is traditionally divided into classical and modern physics. Classical physics encompasses theories developed before the 20th century, including Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, and classical electromagnetism. Newtonian mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects using concepts such as force, mass, and acceleration. Thermodynamics studies the relationships between heat, work, and energy, while classical electromagnetism, formulated by James Clerk Maxwell, explains the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged particles.

The Descent into Chaos

Anônimo

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
There are two opposing views concerning the cosmos. The first assumes we are evolving toward a higher state and the second predicts the descent of the world into chaos. 
Adherents of the first view derive their optimism for the future of humankind and the world in general, and is based on Darwinian evolutionary principles, which are considered at some length in this book. 
The second view also must comply with the universal laws of science. Roger Trow argues that evolution theory is itself a belief system rather than a proven fact. It will then be for the individual to decide what they will believe on the balance of the evidence presented.

So We and Our Children May Live...

Sarah Augustine, Sheri Hostetler

Will we choose life for our children and the future of our planet? Everywhere we look, we see signs that all is not right with our earth: Extreme weather patterns wreak havoc. Pollutants sour soils and waterways. Fires and floods ravage land and communities. Climate change is just a symptom of a larger ecological crisis. If we want change, the solutions can’t come through the same systems that created those problems.  Ecological justice requires us to challenge our assumptions about creation and our relationship to it. It requires decolonization. We must turn to the leadership of Indigenous communities who struggle for all life as land and water protectors, and we must call on people of faith to join them—to confront climate change and resource extraction and choose life for our children and the future of our planet. This book offers hope for a better future alongside concrete actions for joining with Indigenous Peoples to protect life and negotiate with decision-makers for sustainable change that follows Jesus.

In the Name of Science

Ron B Knight

A slippery reality farce based on following the money, an independent research facility with no particular disciplinary focus and no public sector grant money or foundation funding is doing its best to "sound kosher", let alone keep the operations flowing. An overworked lab sciences foundation director has been working tirelessly to keep funding coming in to the aging, if not otherwise obsolete, somewhat mediocre research facility, procuring the oddest of scientific studies.As read by the author, and narrator, author Ron Knight (national voice of Nickelodeon, The Travel Channel, ABC Sports Network Television, Prime and Sirius Satellite Radio, with background at Archie Comics and King Features/Hearst) spins us through the otherwise shaky dealings of an insecure science foundation, through "John Cleese inspired" high brow, low embarrassment status differentials, in this best of short form literature under 15 minutes. Taken from real life stories published in the New York Times, this real time mashup breaks improv sketch style comedy as first produced at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts' School for Film and Television, into the adapted audiobook narrative form. 5 characters, 4 male, 1 female, in addition to the main narrator role position. Published by the author's studio as short form audiobook.
