Synopsis

"Coral Tower Wonders" presents a fascinating exploration of coral reef ecosystems, revealing how these remarkable underwater architects create massive living structures that shape marine biodiversity. The book masterfully explains how tiny coral polyps, through their symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae algae, construct elaborate calcium carbonate formations that can span kilometers and reach heights exceeding thirty meters.

 
This intricate partnership enables coral survival in nutrient-poor tropical waters, forming the foundation for one of Earth's most diverse ecosystems. The text progresses systematically through three main sections: formation processes, ecosystem dynamics, and environmental adaptations. Drawing from extensive research across the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean regions, it combines traditional marine biology with cutting-edge studies in coral genetics and microbiome research.

 
Readers discover how these living towers support an incredible web of marine life, from microscopic organisms to large predatory fish, while learning about crucial conservation challenges and successful preservation strategies. What sets this book apart is its comprehensive integration of multiple scientific disciplines, including marine biology, chemistry, physics, and climate science.

 
Through detailed diagrams, microscopy images, and data visualizations, complex biological processes become accessible to both general readers and specialists. The book serves as both an academic resource and a practical guide for conservation planning, making it invaluable for marine biology students, environmental scientists, and anyone passionate about understanding and protecting these vital marine ecosystems.

  • Addiction Becomes Normal - On the Late-Modern American Subject - cover

    Addiction Becomes Normal - On...

    Addiction is now seen as an ordinary feature of human nature, an idea that introduces new doubts about the meaning of our desires. 
      
    Over the last forty years, a variety of developments in American science, politics, and culture have reimagined addiction in their own ways, but they share an important understanding: increasingly, addiction is described as normal, the natural result of a body that has been exposed to potent stimuli. This shift in thinking suggests that addiction is a condition latent in all of us, a common response to a society rich in thrills. 
      
    In Addiction Becomes Normal, Jaeyoon Park provides a history and critical analysis of the normalization of addiction in late-modern American society. By exploring addiction science, diagnostic manuals, judicial reform, and public health policy, he shows how seeing addiction as normal has flourished in recent decades and is supported throughout cultural life in the United States by the language of wellness, psychotherapy, and more. Building on Michel Foucault’s depiction of the human figure, Park argues that this shift reflects the emergence of a new American subject, one formed by the accretion of experiences. This view of the human subject challenges the idea that our compulsions reflect our characters, wills, or spirits. For if addiction is an extreme but ordinary attachment, and if compulsive consumption resembles healthy behavior, then desire is no longer an expression of the soul so much as the pursuit of a past reward. A perceptive work of recent history and political theory, Addiction Becomes Normal raises new questions about what it means to be human in America today.

    "An ingenious argument" (Kirkus) for a "novel thesis" (Publishers Weekly) that cells, not DNA, hold the key to understanding life's past and present 
     
     
     
    What defines who we are? For decades, the answer has seemed obvious: our genes, the "blueprint of life." In The Master Builder, biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias argues we've been missing the bigger picture. It's not our genes that define who we are, but our cells. While genes are important, nothing in our DNA explains why the heart is on the left side of the body, how many fingers we have, or even how our cells manage to reproduce. Drawing on new research from his own lab and others, Martinez Arias reveals that we are composed of a thrillingly intricate, constantly moving symphony of cells. Both their long lineage—stretching back to the very first cell—and their intricate interactions within our bodies today make us who we are. 
     
     
     
    Engaging and ambitious, The Master Builder will transform your understanding of our past, present, and future—as individuals and as a species.

    This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle

    In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.
