Summary

Unusual Gravity Effects explores the world's most puzzling gravitational anomalies and their impact on our understanding of physics and science. The book delves into locations where gravity seems to defy Newtonian physics, such as "gravity hills" where cars appear to roll uphill. These gravitational anomalies challenge our comprehension of gravitational fields and raise questions about the nature of gravity itself, and if our understanding of general relativity is complete. The book investigates reported instances of unusual gravity effects, from optical illusions to documented weight anomalies, and how geological anomalies may influence these phenomena. The book progresses by first laying the groundwork with fundamental physics concepts, then presenting specific cases of these effects around the world, and finally discussing theoretical explanations, including the potential role of dark matter. This approach aims to provide a balanced view, analyzing the evidence while acknowledging the limits of current science, making it valuable for science enthusiasts and students interested in physics.

    In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. 
Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of “network climate action"―the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change.Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change.With easy-to-follow dos and don’ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.

    Self-Defense - A Myth-Busting...

    A world-renowned scientist offers a much-needed analysis of what it takes to have good immune health—helping readers navigate what can really help, what is a complete myth, and why.Does orange juice help ward off colds? And how does our age affect our ability to recover from one? When it comes to immunity, are we really what we eat? Or how much we eat? We are surrounded by big questions and big claims about enhancing our immune systems, so how do we tell the fiction from the facts? And, ultimately, what can we do to reduce our chances of getting sick? World-leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis offers answers in this authoritative, highly accessible, myth-busting guide to the effects of stress, age, exercise, weight, nutrition, sleep, vaccines, and mental health on our immune health. Taking us to the cutting edge of immunology research and explaining both what we know and how we know it, Self-Defense helps readers spot phony claims and make informed choices. Davis shows us that everyone’s immune system is entirely unique, and that’s why we should be wary of one-size-fits-all “cures.” We learn how exercise, for example, has all sorts of different, even opposing, short- and long-term effects on our immune health. And while our gut microbes are vitally important, it’s unlikely that yogurt drinks can really boost your immune system to stop you getting ill. An eye-opening window into some of the astonishing possibilities for the future, when it comes to distinguishing bogus and beneficial health claims about everything from vitamin D to inflammation and cancer therapies, Davis’s book may be your best self-defense.

    "One law to rule the stars, the tides, and the falling apple."

In The System of the World, Isaac Newton takes his rigorous mathematical proofs and applies them to the vast canvas of the cosmos. This is the work where the abstract becomes tangible. Newton explains with startling clarity how the same force that pulls an object to the ground keeps the Moon in its orbit and the planets in their dance around the Sun. He demystifies the movement of comets, the bulging of the Earth at its equator, and the rhythmic pulling of the tides. It is a foundational text of the Scientific Revolution, representing the moment humanity finally grasped the invisible threads that hold the physical world together.

The Unity of the Heavens and Earth: Before Newton, many believed the laws of Earth and the laws of the Heavens were entirely separate. The System of the World shatters this divide. Newton's "Universal Law of Gravitation" proves that the universe is a unified system, predictable and governed by elegant, unchanging laws.

A Blueprint for Modern Astronomy: Newton uses this work to calculate the masses of planets and explain the perturbations in their orbits. His insights into the "Great Comet of 1680" proved that even these seemingly chaotic visitors follow the same elliptical paths as the planets, bringing order to the last frontier of the night sky.

Why It Is a Scientific Landmark: The System of the World is more than a physics book; it is the birth of the modern world. It moved humanity away from superstition and toward a universe that could be measured, understood, and explored. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the origins of the mechanical age and the leap in logic that allowed us to eventually reach the stars.
