Sinopsis

In "The History of Chemistry (Vol. 1 & 2)," Thomas Thomson embarks on a meticulous exploration of the evolution of chemistry from antiquity through the early 19th century. His work is characterized by a blend of philosophical inquiry and empirical observation, reflecting the burgeoning intersection of science and society in his time. Thomson elucidates not only the scientific advancements and key figures'Äîsuch as alchemists, early chemists, and contributors to modern chemical thought'Äîbut also the broader intellectual currents that shaped their endeavors. Richly detailed, this scholarly tome serves as a foundational text, charting the discipline's trajectory amidst the cultural and technological shifts of the Industrial Revolution. Thomas Thomson, a noted Scottish chemist and a prominent figure in the scientific community of his era, was deeply influenced by both the Enlightenment ideals and the nascent scientific methodologies that characterized the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His role as a professor and his contributions to the field of chemistry equipped him with a unique perspective, allowing him to critically analyze the historical narratives surrounding the discipline while advocating for its significance. For those intrigued by the origins of modern science, Thomson's "The History of Chemistry" is an indispensable resource. It not only fulfills academic curiosity but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the intricate relationship between chemistry and human progress. Scholars, students, and science enthusiasts alike will find valuable insights within this comprehensive account.

    Off-Earth - Ethical Questions...

    Can we do better in space than we've done here on Earth? 
     
     
     
    We've pinpointed the destination, refined the technology, designed the habitat. Are we forgetting something? A timely reminder that it's not just rocket science, this book explores the all-too-human issues raised by the prospect of settling in outer space. Accordingly, her work highlights the complex ethical challenges that accompany any other-worldly venture—questions about the environment, labor rights, and medical ethics, among others. 
     
     
     
    Any such venture, Nesvold contends, must be made on behalf of all humanity, with global input and collaboration. Off-Earth thus includes historical and contemporary examples from outside the dominant Western/US, abled, and privileged narrative of the space industry. Nesvold calls on experts in ethics, sociology, history, social justice, and law to launch a hopeful conversation about the potential ethical pitfalls of becoming a multi-planet species—and, ideally, to shed light on similar problems we presently face here on Earth. 
     
     
     
    Space settlement is rapidly becoming ever more likely. Will it look like the utopian vision of Star Trek? Or the dark future of Star Wars? Nesvold challenges us to decide.

    Predating written language and marching on through human history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. 
     
     
     
    Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the predictable oddities of quantum mechanics. 
     
      
     
    Along the way, Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.

    Part sweeping evocation of Earth's rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. 
     
     
     
    What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a "literary supercut" that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us.
