Sinossi

Marine Debris Impact explores the alarming accumulation of plastic pollution in the deep ocean, an environment often overlooked in discussions about ocean health. The book highlights how the surge in plastic production, coupled with inadequate waste management, has led to a crisis extending far beyond surface-level pollution. It examines how ocean currents and biological transport mechanisms contribute to the accumulation of marine debris, including microplastics, in these remote environments, posing significant threats to deep-sea organisms.

 
The book delves into the direct and indirect effects of plastic waste on deep-sea life, such as ingestion and habitat alteration, and investigates the potential for long-term ecological consequences, including the disruption of food web dynamics. By presenting evidence from original research and peer-reviewed literature, the book emphasizes the need for tailored waste management strategies that consider the unique characteristics of deep-sea environments.

 
The book progresses from introducing the sources of plastic pollution to analyzing its impacts on deep-sea organisms and ecosystems, concluding with a discussion of potential mitigation strategies.

The Secrets of Alchemy

Lawrence M. Principe

In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.

Raising Wild - Dispatches from a...

Michael P. Branch

Combining natural history, humor, and personal narrative, Raising Wild is an intimate exploration of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert, the wild and extreme land of high desert caliche and juniper, of pronghorn antelope and mountain lions, where wildfires and snowstorms threaten in equal measure. 
Michael Branch “earned his whiskers” in the Great Basin Desert of northwestern Nevada, in the wild and extreme landscape where he lives off the grid with his wife and two curious little girls. Shifting between pastoral passages on the beauty found in the desert and humorous tales of the humility of being a father, Raising Wild offers an intimate portrait of a landscape where mountain lions and ground squirrels can threaten in equal measure. With Branch’s distinct lyricism and wit, this exceedingly barren landscape becomes a place resonant with the rattle of snakes, the plod of pronghorn antelope, and the rustle of juniper trees, a place that is teeming with energy, surprise, and an endless web of connections. Part memoir, part homage to an environment all-to-often brushed aside as inhospitable, Raising Wild offers an intergenerational approach to nature, family, and the forgotten language of wildness.
