Beschreibung

Alexandrite Origins explores the fascinating story behind this color-changing gemstone, revealing how rare geological circumstances give rise to its unique properties. The book delves into the specific conditions needed for alexandrite to form, emphasizing the interplay of elements like beryllium and chromium. One intriguing aspect highlighted is how alexandrite's existence serves as a marker for unusual geological events, offering insights into the Earth's metamorphic processes.

 
The book also explains the physics behind alexandrite's pleochroism, the phenomenon that causes it to appear green in daylight and red in incandescent light. This color change is due to the way chromium ions absorb light within the crystal structure. Furthermore, it examines the historical and economic significance of alexandrite discoveries, noting how its rarity contributes to its value.

 
The book progresses from introducing chrysoberyl's composition to exploring geological environments and metamorphic events to discussing pleochroism and historical discoveries. This book uniquely emphasizes the geological rarity and specific formation conditions of alexandrite.

 
By presenting complex scientific information in an accessible manner, Alexandrite Origins caters to a broad audience, including geology students, gemologists, and anyone interested in Earth sciences and the origins of gemstones.

    A Country of Two Agricultures

    Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.
    These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.
    A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.
    Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.
    Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security.
    Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

    A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
      
    In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.

    The universe, with its vast expanse of stars, planets, and cosmic matter, is a complex and ever-evolving structure. At the heart of this cosmic web lie galaxies, massive systems of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter that are bound together by gravity. Galaxies are not random collections of matter; they are highly organized systems that exhibit specific structures and behaviors. Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies is central to our comprehension of the universe. 
    The earliest galaxies began forming shortly after the Big Bang, as matter began to coalesce under the influence of gravity. These early galaxies were small and irregular, lacking the well-defined shapes we see in present-day galaxies. Over time, galaxies merged and grew larger, eventually settling into the diverse forms we recognize today, such as spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. The structures of these galaxies are shaped by a variety of factors, with gravity being the dominant force that governs their organization. 
    Light plays a crucial role in understanding galactic structures. The radiation emitted by stars, gas clouds, and other objects within a galaxy allows astronomers to study its composition, temperature, and movement. Observing the light emitted from these objects gives us insight into the processes occurring within a galaxy, including star formation, the dynamics of the galaxy's core, and the behavior of supermassive black holes. However, light alone does not reveal the full picture. There is another component of the universe that has a more subtle but profound effect on galactic structures—dark space.

    The connected world offers the potential for radical new business insights gleaned from previously unimaginable volumes of data. But business has got bogged down in the process of collecting and storing that data; money has been wasted on data lakes in which many IT departments have drowned without being able to deliver useful insights to business leaders. Big data has new and exciting answers to offer, but business leaders must first decide what questions it would like to see answered. Data may be the new oil, but to date we have only built oil depots. This book analyses the new, Fourth Wave of business transformation, which will build the refineries that turn data into useful products. Business has started from ‘data up’ and needs to start again from ‘value down’, going back to the drivers of real business value and deciding what insights would help realize that value. Only then can we begin to interrogate data with purpose.
