Sinossi

"Gravitational Waves" explores the groundbreaking field of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing how detecting ripples in spacetime has revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos. This new window into the universe allows scientists to directly observe phenomena previously hidden from telescopes, such as black hole mergers and neutron star collisions. These observations not only corroborate Einstein's theory of general relativity but also provide insights into the dynamics of compact objects, offering a unique test of spacetime in extreme environments.

 
The book begins with the historical and scientific context, offering an accessible overview of general relativity and the mathematics needed to understand it without complex equations. It then delves into the major discoveries made by detectors like LIGO and Virgo, focusing on black hole mergers and neutron star collisions and the evidence they provide.

 
The approach emphasizes conceptual clarity, balancing scientific rigor with accessibility. Progressing through theory, detection methods, and observational data, the book culminates in a discussion of the cosmological implications of gravitational wave observations. It provides practical applications of gravitational wave data, showing how it can be used to constrain astrophysical models and test fundamental physics.

 
Ultimately, "Gravitational Waves" provides an accurate assessment of current knowledge and future prospects in this rapidly evolving field.

  • Uncertain Climes - Debating Climate Change in Gilded Age America - cover

    Uncertain Climes - Debating...

    Uncertain Climes looks to the late nineteenth century to reveal how climate anxiety was a crucial element in the emergence of American modernity. 
     
    Even people who still refuse to accept the reality of human-induced climate change would have to agree that the topic has become inescapable in the United States in recent decades. But as Joseph Giacomelli shows in Uncertain Climes, this is actually nothing new: as far back as Gilded Age America, climate uncertainty has infused major debates on economic growth and national development. 
      
    In this ambitious examination of late-nineteenth-century understandings of climate, Giacomelli draws on the work of scientists, foresters, surveyors, and settlers to demonstrate how central the subject was to the emergence of American modernity. Amid constant concerns about volatile weather patterns and the use of natural resources, nineteenth-century Americans developed a multilayered discourse on climate and what it might mean for the nation’s future. Although climate science was still in its nascent stages during the Gilded Age, fears and hopes about climate change animated the overarching political struggles of the time, including expansion into the American West. Giacomelli makes clear that uncertainty was the common theme linking concerns about human-induced climate change with cultural worries about the sustainability of capitalist expansionism in an era remarkably similar to the United States’ unsettled present.

    A Croft in the Hills captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was really like trying to make a living out of a hill croft near Loch Ness fifty years ago. A couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, immerse themselves in the practicalities of looking after sheep, cattle and hens, mending fences, baking bread, and surviving the worst that Scottish winters can throw at them. 
     
     
     
    Their neighbors are few, but among them they find the generosity and community spirit that has survived in the Highlands for generations. Working as a tight family unit, they learn to cope, and in time grow to love their little croft. As Neil Gunn writes in his Foreword, their lives gain extra dimensions that 'give the book its unusual quality, its brightness, and its wisdom'.
