Sinossi

Cracked Earth Yields explores the urgent issue of increasing aridification and its impact on global food security. It examines how communities can adapt through sustainable agricultural systems, focusing on irrigation techniques and crop modifications. Addressing the geographical distribution of drought under climate change, the book highlights innovative approaches, such as drought-resistant crops like sorghum and millet, to enhance resilience. It underscores the importance of understanding both the successes and environmental consequences of irrigation practices, including soil salinization.

 
The book argues for a combined approach of targeted irrigation, informed crop selection, and community-based resource management. Examining traditional flood irrigation alongside modern drip systems, the book analyzes their efficiency and environmental impact. This approach moves beyond simple fixes, advocating for integrated solutions that consider environmental sustainability and social equity.

 
Structured in three parts, the book starts with the science of drought, then evaluates irrigation methods, and finally focuses on crop diversification. By bridging hydrology, agronomy, climate science, and environmental policy, Cracked Earth Yields offers a comprehensive perspective for scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to understand the complexities of drought and develop effective adaptation strategies.

    Celestial Ghosts - Dark Matter's...

    Dark matter is one of the most elusive and mysterious components of the universe. It is invisible, yet its existence is inferred from the gravitational effects it has on visible matter, such as stars and galaxies. Despite being a significant part of the cosmos, dark matter has yet to be directly detected, which makes it an intriguing subject for astrophysicists. It is believed to make up about 27% of the universe's total mass and energy, far outpacing the visible matter that forms stars, planets, and galaxies. 
    The name “dark matter” was coined to reflect the fact that it does not emit, absorb, or reflect any form of electromagnetic radiation, making it invisible to current instruments. This absence of interaction with light or other electromagnetic forces is why it cannot be seen directly. However, dark matter’s presence is undeniable when looking at the way galaxies move. Without dark matter, galaxies would not have the gravitational pull necessary to prevent their stars from flying apart as they spin. This leads scientists to believe that dark matter provides the gravitational glue that holds galaxies, and indeed the entire universe, together. 
    One of the key pieces of evidence for dark matter comes from the study of galaxy clusters. When observing these massive cosmic structures, scientists noticed that the visible matter within them didn’t account for the full gravitational force required to keep the clusters intact. This discrepancy suggested the presence of an unseen substance, later named dark matter, that was exerting additional gravitational pull. Another significant clue comes from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, where light from distant objects bends around large masses. Dark matter’s influence on this bending further supports the idea that it is present in quantities far larger than what we can observe.

    Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he became increasingly concerned about the impact of development, pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues are in the mainstream and have become a global priority.
    
    Although the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress. Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and, as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the artist.

    A groundbreaking compendium honoring the amazing true stories of fifty inspirational women who helped fuel some of the greatest achievements in space exploration from the nineteenth century to today—including Hidden Figure’s Mary Jackson and Katherine Johnson as well as former NASA Chief Astronaut Peggy Whitson, the record-holding American biochemistry researcher who has spent the most cumulative time in space. 
    When Neil Armstrong stepped off the ladder of the lunar module, Eagle, he famously spoke of “one small step for man.” But Armstrong would not have reached the moon without the help of women. Today, females across the earth and above it—astronauts and mathematicians, engineers and physicists, test pilots and aerospace psychophysiologists—are pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, helping us to understand the universe and our place in it. Galaxy Girls celebrates more than four dozen extraordinary women from around the globe whose contributions have been fundamental to the story of humankind’s quest to reach the stars. 
    From Ada Lovelace in the nineteenth century to the “colored computers” behind the Apollo missions, from the astronauts breaking records on the International Space Station to the scientific pioneers blazing the way to Mars, Galaxy Girls goes boldly where few books have gone before, celebrating this band of heroic sisters and their remarkable and often little known scientific achievements. Written by Libby Jackson, a leading British expert in human space flight, Galaxy Girls will fire the imaginations of trailblazers of all ages.

    Biology is the study of life and living organisms, encompassing their structure, function, growth, evolution, and interactions with their environment. This diverse field seeks to answer fundamental questions about life, such as how organisms survive, reproduce, and evolve over time. Understanding biology is crucial not only for gaining knowledge about the natural world but also for addressing issues in medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology. 
      
    At its core, biology explores the characteristics of life, which include organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation. All living organisms share these characteristics, though they may express them in various ways. From the microscopic bacteria that live in the soil to the complex human body, biological processes are at work, and each organism plays a part in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. 
      
    A key concept in biology is the cell, the basic unit of life. All living organisms are made up of cells, which come in two main types: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells are more complex and contain a nucleus that houses the organism’s genetic material. These cells combine to form tissues, organs, and systems that carry out essential functions within an organism.
