Sinossi

Useless Studies explores the often-overlooked value of scientific research that seems pointless on the surface. It questions what truly constitutes "useful" knowledge, revealing how curiosity-driven explorations can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. For instance, seemingly irrelevant mathematical concepts paved the way for quantum mechanics. The book argues that this type of exploratory research is crucial for innovation, urging a more nuanced approach to evaluating scientific merit.

 
The book examines various categories of seemingly pointless research, including studies confirming the obvious, investigations into bizarre phenomena, and niche topics with limited apparent relevance. Each case study analyzes research methodology, scientist motivations, and unexpected outcomes. By examining the societal factors influencing research priorities and the economic incentives driving scientific inquiry, Useless Studies offers a uniquely broad perspective on the value of research.

 
The book progresses from defining "uselessness" in science to analyzing specific cases and drawing conclusions about the role of curiosity.

Red Dead Redemption - History...

Esther Wright, John Wills

While the Western was dying a slow death across the cultural landscape, it was blazing back to life as a video game in the early twenty-first century. Rockstar Games' Red Dead franchise, beginning with Red Dead Revolver in 2004, has grown into one of the most critically acclaimed video game franchises of the twenty-first century. Red Dead Redemption: History, Myth, and Violence in the Video Game West offers a critical, interdisciplinary look at this cultural phenomenon at the intersection of game studies and American history. 
 
 
 
Drawing on game studies, western history, American studies, and cultural studies, the authors train a wide-ranging, deeply informed analytic perspective on the Red Dead franchise—from its earliest incarnation to the latest, Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). Their intersecting chapters put the series in the context of American history, culture, and contemporary media, with inquiries into issues of authenticity, realism, the meaning of play and commercial promotion, and the relationship between the game and the wider cultural iterations of the classic Western. The contributors also delve into the role the series' development has played in recent debates around working conditions in the gaming industry and gaming culture.

Environmental Justice - A Very...

Pamela Hill

Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care. Although environmental justice is a relatively recent concept, it has become a focus of governmental environmental policy, UN actions, and the activities of many nongovernmental environmental organizations. Its development tracks our growing understanding of racism and wealth disparity in the United States and elsewhere, and of our understanding of inequality between the Global North and the Global South. In the era of climate change, climate justice is a particular focus.Environmental Justice: A Very Short Introduction defines the concept, identifies specific environmental justice populations, examines root causes, including racism, capitalism, and colonialism, and traces the history of the environmental justice movement and governmental responses to it. It concludes with suggestions for achieving this elusive goal.

Cosmic Alchemy - The Science...

Dirk Fallon

The cosmos, a vast and mysterious expanse, has captivated the human imagination for centuries. From ancient civilizations gazing at the stars to modern scientists peering through telescopes, the desire to understand the universe and our place within it has been a constant driving force in our pursuit of knowledge. In this chapter, we begin our journey into the cosmos, exploring its origin, structure, and the fundamental forces that shape it.
The origin of the universe is a topic that has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike. According to the widely accepted Big Bang theory, the universe began as an incredibly dense and hot point around 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity rapidly expanded, and over time, matter cooled, forming the stars, galaxies, and other cosmic structures we observe today. The formation of the universe marks the beginning of everything we know—space, time, and energy. As the universe continues to expand, we are left with the challenge of understanding its past and predicting its future.
Gravity is one of the most important forces in the cosmos. It governs the motion of celestial bodies, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Gravity pulls objects together, and it is responsible for the formation of stars, planets, and galaxies. The force of gravity also plays a crucial role in shaping the universe on a cosmic scale, influencing the way matter is distributed and the way galaxies cluster together. Without gravity, the universe as we know it would not exist. It is the force that holds everything together, from the Earth we live on to the farthest reaches of space.
