Sinossi

Moss Eats Rocks explores the surprising role of mosses in reshaping our planet through chemical weathering. Often overlooked, these tiny plants actively break down rocks, influencing soil formation, nutrient cycling, and even climate regulation.

 
The book highlights the fascinating mechanisms by which mosses, using rhizoids and secreting organic acids, contribute significantly to biogeochemical cycles. It challenges the traditional view that weathering is solely driven by physical forces, revealing how mosses actively sculpt landscapes.

 
This book progresses from introducing basic weathering concepts and moss adaptations to detailing chemical processes and their ecological consequences across diverse environments, such as arctic tundra and temperate forests.

 
By examining plant-rock interactions at a micro-scale, using advanced imaging techniques, the book quantifies mosses' contribution to weathering rates. This interdisciplinary approach connects earth sciences, biology, and ecology, providing a unique understanding of moss-mediated weathering and its wider implications for carbon sequestration and environmental science.

Magnificent Women and their...

Henrietta Heald

'Women have won their political independence. Now is the time for them to achieve their economic freedom too.'
This was the great rallying cry of the pioneers who, in 1919, created the Women's Engineering Society. Spearheaded by Katharine and Rachel Parsons, a powerful mother and daughter duo, and Caroline Haslett, whose mission was to liberate women from domestic drudgery, it was the world's first professional organisation dedicated to women's rights. 
Magnificent Women and their Revolutionary Machines tells the stories of the women at the heart of this group − from their success in fanning the flames of a social revolution to their significant achievements in engineering and technology. It centres on the parallel but contrasting lives of Rachel Parsons and Caroline Haslett − one born to privilege and riches whose life ended in dramatic tragedy; the other who rose from humble roots to become the leading professional woman of her age and mistress of the thrilling new power of the twentieth century: electricity.
In this fascinating book, biographer Henrietta Heald also illuminates the era in which the society was founded. From the moment when women in Britain were allowed to vote for the first time, and to stand for Parliament, she charts the changing attitudes to women's rights both in society and in the workplace.

Think Like a Mathematician -...

Junaid Mubeen

An accessible and enjoyabel way to develop the thinking tools and techniques to understand the math of modern life.When we learn about abstract mathematical concepts—from prime numbers and fractals to aspects of calculus—the most common question is often: when on earth will I need this? To many of us, so-called "pure" mathematics is downright baffling. Yet these concepts are what underpin the world we live in, from internet security to the transmission of radio waves. When you start to think like a mathematician, the secrets of technology and modern life suddenly make sense.Junaid Mubeen regards mathematics as a collection of thinking tools that can enrich the way we approach our everyday lives. In Think Like a Mathematician, he presents a catalogue of enlightening mathematical concepts. Some will be familiar from school, but the majority are ideas that listeners will not have encountered before. And anyone—from mathematicians to self-proclaimed mathophobes—can learn from them. In Mubeen's clear prose, all of these ideas are easy to grasp, and may even reshape the way you see the world.
