Sinopse

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.

Unsettled - What Climate Science...

Steven E. Koonin

In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
 
“Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
“Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
“Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
 
You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
 
With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
 
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
 
Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
• Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
• Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
• There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
 
Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
