Sinopse

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.

Quack Quack - The Threat of...

Dr. Joe Schwarcz

Let the one and only Dr. Joe battle pseudoscience and cast a life preserver out to all those drowning in a sea of misinformation 
 
 
 
We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery—loosely defined as the spread of false "knowledge," often accompanied by various versions of "snake oil"—is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. 
 
 
 
In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.

Comet Madness - How the 1910...

Richard J. Goodrich

Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed comets were evil portents. In 1705, Edmond Halley liberated humanity from these primordial superstitions, proving that Newtonian mechanics rather than the will of the gods brought comets into our celestial neighborhood. Despite this scientific advance, when Halley's Comet returned in 1910, newspapers gleefully provoked a global hysteria that unfolded with tragic consequences. 
 
 
 
In Comet Madness, author and historian Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halley's Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception. 
 
 
 
As the comet neared Earth, scientists and journalists alike scrambled to get the story straight as citizens the world over panicked. 
 
 
 
As a result, workmen shelved their tools, farmers refused to plant crops they would never harvest, and formerly reliable people stopped paying their creditors. Others suffered mental breakdowns, and some took their own lives. 
 
 
 
Comet Madness reveals how humans confront the unknown, how scientists learn about the world we inhabit, and how certain people—from outright hucksters to opportunistic journalists—harness fear to produce a profit.
