Sinopse

Longest Lasting Foods explores the fascinating intersection of food science and culinary history, focusing on the art and science of food preservation. The book reveals how certain foods, due to their inherent properties like low moisture content as seen in dried beans, can last for extended periods. It also highlights diverse preservation techniques, like canning and fermenting, that significantly extend shelf life. Understanding these methods is crucial for reducing food waste and promoting sustainable living. 

 
The book takes a comprehensive approach, starting with the core concepts of food spoilage, examining foods known for their longevity, and then investigating various preservation methods. It emphasizes the importance of intrinsic qualities and preservation strategies in extending food usability. Did you know, for example, that honey's low water content and acidity contribute to its remarkable shelf life? Or that salting inhibits microbial growth, a key factor in food spoilage? 

 
The book progresses systematically, guiding readers through the science behind each technique and its impact on food quality, offering practical guidelines for long-term food storage and addressing common challenges, empowering readers to take control of their food supply.

The Next Supercontinent -...

Ross Mitchell

You've heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These "supercontinents" from Earth's past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like—and what to name it—they all agree: one is coming. 
 
 
 
In this engaging work, geophysicist Ross Mitchell invites listeners to remote (and sometimes treacherous) lands for evidence of past supercontinents, delves into the phenomena that will birth the next, and presents the case for the future supercontinent of Amasia, defined by the merging of North America and Asia. Introducing listeners to plate tectonic theory through fieldwork adventures and accessible scientific descriptions, Mitchell considers flows deep in the Earth's mantle to explain Amasia's future formation and shows how this developing theory can illuminate other planetary mysteries. He then poses the inevitable question: how can humanity survive the intervening 200 million years necessary to see Amasia? 
 
 
 
An expert on the supercontinent cycle, Mitchell offers listeners a front-row seat to a slow-motion mystery and an ongoing scientific debate.

Mathematical Methods for...

Mark Hedges

Mathematical physics provides the essential framework for formulating and solving physical problems using mathematical methods. The foundations of mathematical physics are rooted in the application of mathematical structures, such as differential equations, linear algebra, and group theory, to describe the fundamental laws of nature. Physics relies heavily on mathematical formalism to express physical quantities, relationships, and conservation laws. The development of mathematical physics has enabled the discovery and prediction of new physical phenomena, from classical mechanics to quantum field theory.
The language of mathematical physics is built on the concept of physical observables represented by mathematical objects such as scalars, vectors, tensors, and operators. Scalars represent single-valued quantities, vectors represent quantities with both magnitude and direction, and tensors generalize vectors to higher dimensions. Operators, such as differential operators and linear operators, act on these mathematical objects to produce measurable physical outcomes.
Differential equations are central to mathematical physics, as they describe how physical quantities change with respect to one another. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) govern the behavior of systems that depend on a single variable, such as the motion of a particle under a central force. Partial differential equations (PDEs) describe systems that depend on multiple variables, such as wave propagation and heat conduction. Solutions to differential equations provide the time evolution and spatial distribution of physical systems.

Ultramarine 2023 - Stories from...

Drew Rooke, Ellen Phiddian,...

Welcome to Ultramarine, which takes a deep dive into the science seeking to understand and protect our precious aquatic world. As anyone who’s rolled out of a boat in diving or snorkelling gear into deep water knows, there’s nothing as thrilling as entering the ocean and peering inside it. 
Whether in warm tropical waters or the shiver- inducing briny of temperate and lower marine environments, Earth’s oceans and seas brim with life, wonder and mystery. As 2023 ticks to a close, we wanted to showcase some of the stories that have appeared this year under the Ultramarine banner, and an e-yearbook seemed the perfect vehicle. We have published some 120 stories with a marine focus over the past 9 months; a small selection of those appears in this yearbook.
