Sinopsis

Total eclipses of the Sun are rare and dramatic—and on April 8, 2024, one will cross the US. But when exactly will it happen? In this short but richly illustrated book, prominent scientist and computation pioneer Stephen Wolfram tells the triumphant and hard-won story—spanning more than two thousand years—of how science, mathematics and computation have brought us to the point where we can now predict the time of the eclipse to within one second. Learn how the problem of eclipses brought us some of the earliest exact science, the first known computer, contributions from many of the all-time greats of mathematics and physics, and critical technology for the space program. See how all this provides a clear, modern understanding of a phenomenon that has surprised and amazed throughout human history.

    One woman's journey through South America - and the devastating story of our planet's disappearing biodiversity 
     
    Pedalling hard for thirteen months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. 
     
    From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play.

    What’s that peak oil thing you keep jabbering on about? 
    “Peak oil” is the phrase used to describe the point where the world’s oil supply, well, peaks. A fairly easy concept there. It’s the best we can do, and the best we will ever do, when it comes to pumping conventional crude oil out of the ground. After peak oil, it’s all downhill, production-wise. 
    Too many people think that peak oil means that the oil is going to run out, and that’s not quite right. The oil will not run out. Not ever. It will, over time, get increasingly rare and probably expensive (before it’s worthless), but there will always be at least a little bit of oil for us to use. Well, for someone to use. Probably not you and me, unless I sell a whole shipload of books. No pressure.

    "Kepler," written by Walter W. Bryant, is an engrossing literary masterpiece that digs into the life and works of the famed German scientist Johannes Kepler. This biographical fiction offers readers a remarkable look into the world of 17th-century science and the revolutionary discoveries that altered our knowledge of the universe. The story of Walter W. Bryant expertly navigates the nuances of Kepler's life, detailing his difficulties, accomplishments, and enduring legacy. Readers are transported back in time to a time when seeking knowledge was met with both curiosity and opposition. His seminal work, including the three laws of planetary motion, is brought to life, emphasizing the enormous dedication and determination that propelled his scientific achievements. "Kepler" delves not only into its namesake character's scientific triumphs, but also into the issues that people he experienced, from religious disagreements to personal tragedies. Bryant's narrative offers a realistic portrayal of Kepler as a multifaceted individual, combining his scientific genius with his compassion. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of "Kepler" is both modern and readable.
