Beschreibung

"Green Flash Phenomenon" explores the science behind this rare and captivating optical phenomenon, a fleeting burst of green light sometimes seen at sunrise or sunset. The book delves into the atmospheric optics responsible, explaining how atmospheric refraction, influenced by air density and temperature gradients, bends sunlight to create this effect. It highlights the specific meteorological conditions needed for a sighting, such as a clear horizon, and explores the different types of green flashes, including the mirage flash and green ray. This book bridges the gap between abstract physics and observable science, demystifying what's often perceived as mystical. By tracing the green flash through history, folklore, and scientific observation, the book illustrates how our understanding has evolved. Starting with basic optical principles, the book progresses through the physics of refraction and dispersion, leading to an understanding of how we can predict and interpret sightings. The book’s value lies in its comprehensive yet accessible approach, blending scientific rigor with engaging storytelling. It uses illustrative examples and diagrams to explain complex concepts, making it suitable for weather enthusiasts, amateur astronomers, and anyone curious about natural phenomena and citizen science.

    A revelatory journey into the beautifully intricate conversion of light into life, key to every living thing's survival—and our planet's future 
     
     
     
    We think we know photosynthesis: Plants convert of sunlight, CO2, and water into energy and, ultimately, the food we eat and air we breathe. But Raffael Jovine shows how this incredible process goes beyond what we learned in grade school. First, it's not only about plants: Corals partner with photosynthetic organisms to create the most productive habitat on Earth, slugs eat chloroplasts to create a photosynthesis-based camouflage, hornets use photosynthesis for a very unconventional form of air conditioning—and much more! 
     
     
     
    Further, photosynthesis can help save the world. Jovine's groundbreaking blueprint for the future harnesses photosynthesis to repair ecosystems, create jobs, and grow sustainable food. This book will help you to see the many surprising ways we can't live without this miracle of light—through the photosynthetic pigments in your own eyes!

    Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms.
    So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate?
    Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages - from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists.
    In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.
    The aim of this work is to bring together and organize the contentions of serious students of plant life who argue that there are objective grounds for plant psychology.
    Chaste Mimosa: The Psychology of Plants is a compelling and essential book for all thinkers, students and teachers of psychology, philosophy, physiology, plus all disciplines related to the study of plants.

    The Control of Nature is John McPhee's bestselling account of places where people are locked in combat with nature. Taking us deep into these contested territories, McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking is his depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those attempting to wrest control from her—stubborn, sometimes foolhardy, more often ingenious, and always arresting characters.

    Ball Lightning is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings of these weird balls. 
    It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
    St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon are included too. 
    There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
    My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
    In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
    This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
