Summary

Space Dust Origins explores the critical role of cosmic dust in shaping the universe, from star formation to planetary systems. This book delves into the life cycle of space dust, revealing how these tiny grains, often born in stellar explosions, profoundly influence astronomical phenomena. Understanding cosmic dust is key to unraveling the mysteries of how stars and planets come into existence. Interestingly, the composition of dust grains varies depending on their origin and environment, affecting their interaction with light and other matter.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the origin of cosmic dust and its creation in dying stars. It then examines the composition of dust grains and their role in forming protoplanetary disks, the nurseries of planets. Synthesizing findings from telescopes like the Hubble and Webb, the book emphasizes that cosmic dust is not merely a byproduct but a key player in cosmic evolution. Its unique approach lies in connecting physics, chemistry, and astronomy to explain the importance of dust in astrophysical processes, making it a valuable resource for science enthusiasts and students alike.

    From Stanford professor, author of Limitless Mind, youcubed.org founder, and leading expert in the field of mathematics education Jo Boaler comes a groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding by adopting a diverse approach to learning math. 
“Every once in a while, someone revolutionizes an approach to a difficult subject and changes it forever. That is what Jo Boaler has done for math. Fresh, smart, and inclusive, Jo Boaler's strategy eschews the one-size-fits-a-few approach and instead allows math to be seen and solved by everyone. A huge achievement. Math-ish is the only math book I’ve ever enjoyed reading in my entire life. Honestly.” -Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry 
Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential. 
In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of “math-ish”—a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world—changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject: 
• The power of mindset on learning 
• Utilizing a visual approach to math 
• The impact of physical movement and communication on understanding 
• Understanding the value of an ""ish"" perspective - in mathematics and beyond 
• The importance of connected and flexible knowledge 
• New data on diverse teaching modes that work with different learning styles, not against them 
• The value of diversity in learning mathematics—and beyond 
When mathematics is approached more broadly, inclusively, and with a greater sense of wonder and play—when we value the different ways people see, approach, and understand it—we empower ourselves and gain a beneficial understanding of its value in our lives.

    What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?

Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives.
