Synopsis

Climate Change and Oceans explores the largely unexamined impacts of global warming on deep-sea currents and ecosystems, highlighting the critical role these systems play in regulating the Earth's climate. The book uniquely focuses on the deep ocean, an area often overlooked in climate change discussions, despite its importance in global heat distribution, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration. It reveals how seemingly stable deep-sea environments are increasingly vulnerable, potentially leading to significant alterations with far-reaching consequences.

The book begins by establishing the scientific context, explaining oceanographic principles like thermohaline circulation and deep-water formation, before examining evidence of climate-driven changes. It addresses slowing circulation rates, temperature and salinity shifts, and ocean acidification.

Did you know that deep-sea ecosystems harbor unique biodiversity, including cold-water coral reefs and hydrothermal vent communities? The book synthesizes data from research vessels, satellites, and climate models to present an up-to-date assessment of the threats to these deep-sea realms.

Structured in three parts, Climate Change and Oceans progresses from fundamental concepts to evidence of change and finally, impacts on ecosystems. It connects Earth sciences geography with marine biology and climate modeling to provide a holistic understanding.

The book offers a comprehensive look at the science, exploring potential mitigation and adaptation strategies, making it valuable to students, researchers, and anyone concerned about the future of our oceans.

Rheumatology - The Study of Joints

Mike Crawford

Rheumatology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that impact the musculoskeletal system. Rheumatologists play a crucial role in managing these conditions, often working alongside other specialists to provide comprehensive care. The field has evolved significantly over time, with advancements in research leading to better treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes. 
The history of rheumatology dates back centuries, though early physicians lacked a clear understanding of joint diseases. In ancient times, conditions such as gout and arthritis were recognized, but treatments were largely ineffective. The field gained scientific recognition in the 20th century with the identification of autoimmune mechanisms underlying many rheumatic diseases. The development of imaging techniques, laboratory tests, and targeted therapies has transformed rheumatology into a more precise and effective medical discipline. Today, research continues to uncover new insights into the genetic, environmental, and immunological factors that contribute to these conditions.

Lost Wonders - 10 Tales of...

Tom Lathan

Read by the author, Tom Lathan.In Lost Wonders author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the powerful stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century.Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years – a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth – from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies – Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, Lost Wonders is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.

Concepts of Modern Physics - An...

Mark Hedges

Modern physics is the study of the fundamental principles that govern the universe, focusing on concepts that emerged in the 20th and 21st centuries. Unlike classical physics, which describes motion, forces, and energy using Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell’s equations, modern physics delves into the nature of reality at both the smallest and largest scales. It is driven by two major revolutions: relativity and quantum mechanics. These theories challenged classical assumptions, revealing new insights into space, time, and the fundamental particles that make up the universe.
One of the key differences between classical and modern physics lies in their domains of applicability. Classical physics works well for everyday experiences, from planetary motion to the mechanics of machines. However, when dealing with extreme conditions—such as objects moving at speeds close to the speed of light, microscopic particles, or immense gravitational fields—classical theories fail. Modern physics was developed to address these limitations, providing a more complete framework for understanding nature. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and the development of quantum mechanics by pioneers like Max Planck, Niels Bohr, and Erwin Schrödinger revolutionized scientific thought.
Several key experiments shaped the foundation of modern physics. The Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887 provided strong evidence against the existence of the "luminiferous aether," leading to the development of special relativity. Einstein’s 1905 theory redefined space and time, demonstrating that they are not absolute but rather interwoven in a four-dimensional continuum. His general theory of relativity later provided a new understanding of gravity, showing that massive objects warp space-time, a concept confirmed by astronomical observations, such as the bending of starlight during a solar eclipse.
