Sinopse

"Furry Feathers" explores the fascinating biology and evolution of animal coverings, specifically fur and feathers, and how these integuments are crucial for survival. It examines how these structures enable animals to thrive in diverse environments through thermoregulation, locomotion, protection, and camouflage. The book highlights how the intricate barbules of flight feathers allow birds to soar and how the dense undercoat of Arctic mammals provides insulation against extreme cold, illustrating the vital role of these adaptations.

 
The book delves into the microscopic properties of fur and feathers, tracing their evolutionary pathways using evidence from paleontology and genetics. It emphasizes that these coverings are not merely physical attributes but key evolutionary innovations. From the evolution of feathers from reptilian scales to the diversification of mammalian fur types, the book presents a comprehensive view of how these adaptations have shaped biodiversity.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, "Furry Feathers" begins with the biology of fur and feathers, then progresses to their evolution and interdisciplinary connections to climate science and materials science. By exploring the science behind animal coverings, this book offers valuable insights for students, educators, and nature enthusiasts interested in biology, natural history, and animal science.

Infinity of Worlds An - Cosmic Inflation and the Beginning of the Universe - cover

Infinity of Worlds An - Cosmic...

In the beginning was the Big Bang: an unimaginably hot fire almost fourteen billion years ago in which the first elements were forged. The physical theory of the hot nascent universe—the Big Bang—was one of the most consequential developments in twentieth-century science. And yet it leaves many questions unanswered: Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? In An Infinity of Worlds, physicist Will Kinney explains a more recent theory that may hold the answers to these questions and even explain the ultimate origins of the universe: cosmic inflation, before the primordial fire of the Big Bang. 
 
 
  
Kinney argues that cosmic inflation is a transformational idea in cosmology, changing our picture of the basic structure of the cosmos and raising unavoidable questions about what we mean by a scientific theory. He explains that inflation is a remarkable unification of inner space and outer space, in which the physics of the very large (the cosmos) meets the physics of the very small (elementary particles and fields), closing in a full circle at the first moment of time. 
 
  
  
Kinney considers the consequences of eternal cosmic inflation. Can we come to terms with the possibility that our entire observable universe is one of infinitely many, forever hidden from our view?
