Sinopse

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.

Salt Lakes - An Unnatural History

Caroline Tracey

More than a hundred salt lakes dot Earth's surface, most of them hidden away in remote desert valleys. But today nearly all of them are at risk of drying up. Their death is a harbinger of rising sea levels, life-threatening dust storms, and environmental collapse. 
 
Writer and geographer Caroline Tracey didn't know this when she began crossing paths with salt lakes during her early twenties. From the Great Salt Lake to the Aral Sea, across the American West and around the world, the unusual beauty of these shimmering, uncanny bodies of water captured her imagination. In Salt Lakes, Tracey travels across four continents to seek out and describe these extraordinary vanishing lakes and the people dedicated to saving them. 
 
Running parallel to Tracey's environmental journey is an intimate, human one: her story of finding queer love and building a home in a world fast being remade by ecological crises. By the end of Salt Lakes, she shows us how seeing the environment through a queer lens could help save our water system. 
 
An exquisite blend of travel writing, memoir, and reportage, Salt Lakes is an inspiring call to fight for all that is fragile in our lives.

AI-Assisted Programming - Better...

Tom Taulli

Get advice on how to leverage AI development tools for all stages of code creation, including requirements, planning, design, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation. With this book, beginners and experienced developers alike will learn how to use a wide range of tools, from general-purpose LLMs to code-specific systems. You'll also learn about more specialized generative AI tools for tasks such as text-to-image creation. Tom Taulli provides a methodology for modular programming that aligns effectively with the way prompts create AI-generated code. This guide also describes the best ways of using general purpose LLMs to learn a programming language, explain code, or convert code from one language to another. 
 
 
 
This book examines: the core capabilities of AI-based development tools; pros, cons, and use cases of popular systems such as GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer; ways to use ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other generic LLMs for coding; using AI development tools for the software development lifecycle, including requirements, planning, coding, debugging, and testing; prompt engineering for development; using AI-assisted programming for tedious tasks like creating regular expressions, starter code, object-oriented programming classes, and GitHub Actions; and how to use AI-based low-code and no-code tools, such as to create professional UIs.

Threat Multiplier - Climate...

Sherri Goodman

Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. 
 
 
 
What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today's generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri Goodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military's fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.

Lost Wonders - 10 Tales of...

Tom Lathan

Read by the author, Tom Lathan.In Lost Wonders author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the powerful stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century.Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years – a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth – from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies – Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, Lost Wonders is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.
