Summary

In "Elements of Agricultural Chemistry," Thomas Anderson presents a foundational exploration of the chemical principles underpinning agricultural practice. Seamlessly blending empirical research with practical applications, Anderson adopts a clear and didactic style that bridges the gap between complex scientific theories and everyday farming operations. The book situates itself within the broader context of 19th-century agricultural advancements, reflecting contemporary debates over soil fertility, crop production, and the burgeoning field of soil chemistry, making it an essential resource for understanding the evolution of agricultural science. Thomas Anderson, a prominent chemist and agricultural scientist of his time, was deeply influenced by the industrial revolution and its impact on farming practices. His extensive background in both chemistry and fieldwork enabled him to approach agriculture with a scientific lens, culminating in this seminal work. Anderson's commitment to improving agricultural practices through scientific inquiry was influenced by his own experiences and observations in the fields, making his insights both authoritative and relevant. This book is highly recommended for scholars, agricultural practitioners, and anyone interested in the intersection of chemistry and agriculture. Anderson's meticulous analysis provides invaluable insights that are still pertinent today, encouraging readers to appreciate the scientific underpinnings of agricultural methods and sustainable practices in modern farming.

    What is life? For generations, scientists have struggled to make sense of this fundamental question, for life really does look like magic: even a humble bacterium accomplishes things so dazzling that no human engineer can match it. Huge advances in molecular biology over the past few decades have served only to deepen the mystery. 
 
 
 
In this penetrating and wide-ranging book, world-renowned physicist and science communicator Paul Davies searches for answers in a field so new and fast-moving that it lacks a name; it is a domain where biology, computing, logic, chemistry, quantum physics, and nanotechnology intersect. At the heart of these diverse fields, Davies explains, is the concept of information: a quantity which has the power to unify biology with physics, transform technology and medicine, and force us to fundamentally reconsider what it means to be alive—even illuminating the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe. 
 
 
 
The Demon in the Machine journeys across an astounding landscape of cutting-edge science. Weaving together cancer and consciousness, two-headed worms and bird navigation, Davies reveals how biological organisms garner and process information to conjure order out of chaos, opening a window onto the secret of life itself.

    Imminent Domains: Reckoning with the Anthropocene invites readers to join a contemplation of survival—our own, and that of the elements that surround us. Using research, lyric prose, and first-hand experiences, Alessandra Naccarato addresses fundamental questions about our modern relationship to nature amidst depictions of landscapes undergoing dramatic transformation.
We trace the veins of harm, memory and meaning amongst ecosystems and bioregions; through history and across continents, from the mines of Cerro Rico to the ruins of Pompeii. Arranged by five central elements of survival—earth, fire, water, air and spirit—these essays refute linearity, just as nature does.
Naccarato offers not blanket answers about our future, but rather myriad ways to find our own, individual response to an imminent question. We are being called to work together; to dig a trench deep and wide enough that the fires around us might stay at bay. How do we turn towards the fire?

    The Royal Institution of Great Britain is renowned the world over, first, because it is a premier arena for the advancement of new scientific and technological knowledge; and second because it highlights the advance of knowledge of all kinds. It bridges the sciences and the humanities, and as much publicity is given to advances in the arts, archaeology, architecture, drama, and literature as to the pure and applied sciences. More famous scientists have lived and worked in the Royal Institution than in any other laboratory in the world. A roll-call includes Rumford, Davy, Faraday, Tyndall, Dewar, Rayleigh, W. H. Bragg, W. L. Bragg, and George Porter. Not only is it the home of continuous electricity, it is also the birthplace of many aspects of molecular biology and viruses and enzymology. 
 
 
 
Albemarle Street: Portraits, Personalities and Presentations at The Royal institution is a lively and compelling personal selection of the remarkable personalities and achievements of some of the extraordinary scientists and individuals who, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, worked or lectured at 21 Albemarle Street in Mayfair, central London. John Meurig Thomas offers a unique and valuable insight into the history of this prestigious address, having himself lived and worked at the Royal Institution for some twenty years.
