A Brief History of the Female...

Dr. Deena Emera

From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
 
 
 
Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
 
 
 
Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

Concepts of Modern Physics - An...

Mark Hedges

Modern physics is the study of the fundamental principles that govern the universe, focusing on concepts that emerged in the 20th and 21st centuries. Unlike classical physics, which describes motion, forces, and energy using Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell’s equations, modern physics delves into the nature of reality at both the smallest and largest scales. It is driven by two major revolutions: relativity and quantum mechanics. These theories challenged classical assumptions, revealing new insights into space, time, and the fundamental particles that make up the universe.
One of the key differences between classical and modern physics lies in their domains of applicability. Classical physics works well for everyday experiences, from planetary motion to the mechanics of machines. However, when dealing with extreme conditions—such as objects moving at speeds close to the speed of light, microscopic particles, or immense gravitational fields—classical theories fail. Modern physics was developed to address these limitations, providing a more complete framework for understanding nature. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and the development of quantum mechanics by pioneers like Max Planck, Niels Bohr, and Erwin Schrödinger revolutionized scientific thought.
Several key experiments shaped the foundation of modern physics. The Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887 provided strong evidence against the existence of the "luminiferous aether," leading to the development of special relativity. Einstein’s 1905 theory redefined space and time, demonstrating that they are not absolute but rather interwoven in a four-dimensional continuum. His general theory of relativity later provided a new understanding of gravity, showing that massive objects warp space-time, a concept confirmed by astronomical observations, such as the bending of starlight during a solar eclipse.

New York's Secret Subway - The...

Matthew Algeo

In the nineteenth century, Manhattan's streets were so choked with pedestrians, horses, vehicles, and vendors that a trip from City Hall to Central Park could take hours. Alfred Beach had the perfect solution: build a giant pneumatic tube underneath Broadway from the Battery to Harlem. Air pressure would shoot passengers up and down the island in clean, quiet carriages. But Beach was up against the operators of the horse-drawn streetcars and the politicians in their pay, most conspicuously William M. Tweed, the notorious "Boss" of Tammany Hall.New York's Secret Subway: The Underground Genius of Alfred Beach and the Origins of Mass Transit tells a classic story of good versus evil, pitting the mild-mannered Beach, a visionary inventor and entrepreneur, against the oafish tyrant Tweed, the exemplar of corruption in the Gilded Age. It also tells the story of one of the most astonishing feats of engineering in American history, the surreptitious creation of the nation's first operational subway. Unfortunately, political lethargy and greed would conspire to deny the city a subway for another thirty years. Yet Alfred Beach still proved conclusively the feasibility of underground railways in Manhattan, and paved the way for modern mass transportation systems. Although this true story took place more than a century ago, it will at times sound surprisingly familiar.
