Sinossi

Antarctic Meteorites explores how space rocks found in Antarctica provide unprecedented insights into our solar system's origins. These meteorites, fragments of asteroids and planets, are uniquely concentrated in Antarctica due to the continent's glacial dynamics and unique climate. The book elucidates how these "space rocks" inform planetary science and cosmochemistry, offering a deep dive into understanding planet formation.

 
The book begins by introducing meteorites and Antarctic geography, then progresses to explain why Antarctica is an ideal hunting ground, focusing on glacial processes and meteorite stranding surfaces. It then examines specific meteorite types like chondrites and iron meteorites, illustrating how they contribute to our understanding of the solar system's age and composition.

 
The book also details the history of meteorite collection, highlighting the scientific techniques and international collaborations involved. Antarctic Meteorites reveals that the icy continent acts like a natural collector, preserving these celestial objects for millennia. By analyzing these meteorites, scientists gain invaluable data, comparable to ground truth for remote observations of space. This organized and accessible approach makes the book an engaging read for anyone interested in Earth sciences, planetary science, and the mysteries of our solar system.

    A Nobel Prize-winning physicist explains what happened at the very beginning of the universe, and how we know, in this popular science classic.  Our universe has been growing for nearly 14 billion years. But almost everything about it, from the elements that forged stars, planets, and lifeforms, to the fundamental forces of physics, can be traced back to what happened in just the first three minutes of its existence.In this book, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first three minutes. It is an exhilarating journey that begins with the Planck Epoch - the earliest period of time in the history of the universe - and goes through Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the Hubble Red Shift, and the detection of the Cosmic Microwave Background. These incredible discoveries all form the foundation for what we now understand as the "standard model" of the origin of the universe. The First Three Minutes examines not only what this model looks like, but also tells the exciting story of the bold thinkers who put it together.  Clearly and accessibly written, The First Three Minutes is a modern-day classic, an unsurpassed explanation of where it is that everything really comes from.

    Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity 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 that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike 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 that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
    This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.

    There are many foods and supplements which help control or reduce blood sugar. As a Type 2 Diabetic myself this is important information.  
    This is why I put this book together to cover all the types of foods, drinks, and supplements which would be good for me to make as part of my diet. 
    There are various foods you can eat which either slow sugar absorption or reduce blood sugar entirely by reducing insulin resistance. 
    A number of natural supplements also are keys to reducing blood sugar. 
    I’ve also included technical information on how these substances actually work.

    The story of surfing in Scotland is defined by people who dared to dream in spite of the cold, from Neva MacDonald-Haig and the coffin-lid surfers of Machrihanish, who first took to the waves off the west coast in the 1930s with a little help from a local undertaker, to Andy Bennetts and the pioneers of the 1960s, who discovered many of the nation's best breaks, to contemporary big wave surfer Ben Larg, a native of the tiny island of Tiree who now travels the world riding skyscraper-sized walls of water for a living.
    Scotland is also home to a rich and distinctive surfing culture, with its own surfboard shapers, surf instructors, surf filmmakers, surf photographers and surf fashion brands, not to mention surf-inspired artists and musicians. Professional contests held at some of Scotland's best waves have drawn visits from surfing world champions including Tom Curren, Sunny Garcia and John John Florence, and in recent years Scotland's own surfers have begun to make their presence felt on the competitive stage, with the Scottish surf team featuring at the World Surfing Games and at Eurosurf after finally gaining official recognition in 2014.
    The View From the Shoulder draws together 20 years of surf journalism from the pages of The Scotsman newspaper, together with fresh context, to create a portrait of a wave-riding community like no other.
