Sinopsis

In "The History of Chemistry (The Complete Two-Volume Edition)," Thomas Thomson offers a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of chemical science from its ancient roots to the early 19th century. Thomson's narrative style deftly combines rigorous scholarship with engaging prose, making complex scientific developments accessible to a broader readership. The work situates chemistry within the context of significant historical events and intellectual movements, illuminating the interplay between scientific progress and societal change, and featuring key figures like Antoine Lavoisier and Joseph Priestley whose contributions were pivotal to the field. Thomas Thomson, a Scottish chemist and founding figure in the field of chemistry, brings personal insight and expertise to this historical analysis. His experiences in the nascent scientific community of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, alongside his tenure as a professor, deeply informed his understanding of the transformative processes within the discipline. Thomson's commitment to both education and the advancement of scientific thought underscores the importance of historical context in grasping the development of chemistry as a discipline. This work is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of science, as it not only chronicles the milestones of chemistry but also encourages readers to appreciate the discipline's profound impact on modern society. Whether you're a student, educator, or a general reader drawn to scientific history, Thomson's comprehensive text is an indispensable resource that deepens our understanding of the scientific enterprise.

    ‘Wry and passionate first-hand observations from the global climate negotiations – essential for capturing the spirit of this endlessly frustrating struggle’ – Bill McKibben 
    Most people tend to turn away, perhaps understandably, from the key existential issue of the day: climate change or, some would say more accurately, climate collapse. Nick Breeze tells the engaging, very human story of successive COP conferences over the past decade: it is a tale of imperfection, failure even, but not yet defeat. 
    So far, the UN process has achieved almost the exact opposite of what it first set out to achieve at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. Nick shows clearly that it is not Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil nor any other climate protesters who are the extremists; the true extremists are the policymakers who consistently undermine faltering efforts to reduce emissions. Repeatedly claiming to be saving us whilst allowing carbon emissions to continue rising, governments have failed their people on climate. Nick shows us how, why and what we can do about it. 
    The public remains largely uninformed about climate change and, for the most part, those who seek to draw attention to the issue are seen as ‘crazy’. There remains a terrifying gap between scientific reality and political action. 
    Packed with his own experiences and insights from expert interviewees, Nick’s page-turning account is less about the intricacies of the science and more about the mainstream perception of how we are understanding and responding to the problem.

  • The Monarch Butterfly Migration - Its Rise and Fall - cover

    The Monarch Butterfly Migration...

    Each fall, millions of monarch butterflies migrate from Canada to Mexico. The monarch migration is a demonstration of nature's ingenuity, but the delicate creatures face many perils, and the number of migrating monarchs is declining sharply. This book weaves natural history, science, and personal experience to explore the rise and fall of one of nature's most spectacular phenomena. 
     
     
     
    While monarch butterflies have been migrating for centuries, they seized public attention in 1976 when a National Geographic magazine cover story featured the "discovery" of their roosting sites in Mexico. The revelations put a spotlight on the insects and inspired the creation of butterfly sanctuaries in Mexico as well as efforts to protect them. Almost forty years later, many believe that monarch butterflies are in danger of extinction. Journalist and butterfly advocate Monika Maeckle delves into the rich history and current plight of the monarch butterfly. Maeckle offers unique insights on the butterflies as well as a nuanced portrait of the community of scientists, enthusiasts, and "flutterati" who have emerged to support the monarchs. 
     
     
     
    The Monarch Butterfly Migration focuses a wider lens on the effects of climate change and the tensions between advocacy and scientific accuracy. This book reminds us to notice the natural wonders in our own backyards.

    A concise introduction to the NIST CSF 2.0The NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework) 2.0 is designed to protect organizations from cyber attacks. Although the CSF was developed to help US organizations involved in infrastructure to systematically organize their critical activities and ensure they remain up to date, Version 2.0 states that "The CSF is designed to be used by organizations of all sizes and sectors, including industry, government, academia, and nonprofit organizations, regardless of the maturity level of their cybersecurity programs." NIST 2.0 is an effective and flexible framework that is well-known across the US, and increasingly across the rest of the world. It also aligns closely with ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, and all three standards can operate concurrently.This audiobook will help you understand how to:- Begin implementing the NIST CSF 2.0 in your organization- Build a cybersecurity program, adapt an existing one, or review existing security practices- Integrate the NIST CSF 2.0 with other frameworks such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301Organizations that comply with the NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301 demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity to current and prospective stakeholders.
