Summary

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.

    Uncertain Climes - Debating...

    Uncertain Climes looks to the late nineteenth century to reveal how climate anxiety was a crucial element in the emergence of American modernity. 
     
    Even people who still refuse to accept the reality of human-induced climate change would have to agree that the topic has become inescapable in the United States in recent decades. But as Joseph Giacomelli shows in Uncertain Climes, this is actually nothing new: as far back as Gilded Age America, climate uncertainty has infused major debates on economic growth and national development. 
      
    In this ambitious examination of late-nineteenth-century understandings of climate, Giacomelli draws on the work of scientists, foresters, surveyors, and settlers to demonstrate how central the subject was to the emergence of American modernity. Amid constant concerns about volatile weather patterns and the use of natural resources, nineteenth-century Americans developed a multilayered discourse on climate and what it might mean for the nation’s future. Although climate science was still in its nascent stages during the Gilded Age, fears and hopes about climate change animated the overarching political struggles of the time, including expansion into the American West. Giacomelli makes clear that uncertainty was the common theme linking concerns about human-induced climate change with cultural worries about the sustainability of capitalist expansionism in an era remarkably similar to the United States’ unsettled present.

    Planting Our World

    It all begins and ends with plants. From the chance to live on this planet to the pleasure of listening to the sound of a violin—every story begins with a plant. 
     
     
     
    We animals account for a paltry 0.3% of the planet's biomass while plants add up to 85%. It is obvious that every story on this planet has a plant as its protagonist. Our world is a green world; Earth is the planet of plants. And when, with just a little training, we are able to look at the world without seeing it solely as humanity's playground, we cannot help but notice the ubiquity of plants. They are everywhere and their stories are inevitably wound up with ours. Not to see this plan, or even worse, to ignore its existence, is one of the most serious threats to the survival of our species. 
     
     
     
    Neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso is back with a book to tell us about the greenprint of our world. He does it through unforgettable stories starring plants; stories combining an inimitable narrative style and remarkable scientific rigor. From the story of the red spruce that gave Stradivarius the wood for his fourteen violins, to the Kauri tree stump, kept alive for decades by the interconnected root system of nearby trees. From the story of the slipperiness of the banana skin to the plant that solved the "crime of the century," the Lindbergh kidnapping, by way of wooden ladder rungs.
