Synopsis

Crater Formation explores the creation of craters, both from impacts by meteorites and asteroids and from volcanic activity. The book highlights how these features are not static, but provide a dynamic record of planetary history. By studying craters, scientists can reconstruct past events and understand the composition of planetary surfaces. The book uniquely integrates the study of impact and volcanic craters, treating them as complementary processes.

 
Did you know that impact craters can tell us about the bombardment history of planets? Or that volcanic craters reveal the internal dynamics shaping landscapes? The book begins with fundamental concepts in geology, physics, and astronomy, before examining impact cratering, volcanic cratering, and specific examples on Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The approach is clear and accessible, making complex concepts understandable for a broad audience. The book uses examples from NASA and ESA missions, along with geophysical data to illustrate key principles.

 
By understanding crater formation, we gain insights into planetary evolution, resource exploration, and even hazard assessment.

Reading Fire Behavior and Smoke...

SHERIF KHALED

In a complex environment like an airport—where aircraft meet fuel, passengers meet ground operations, and sensitive systems operate nonstop—reading fire behavior and analyzing smoke movement is not an additional skill, but a fundamental part of the fire commander’s mindset.
The moment a fire ignites inside or near an aircraft is not measured in minutes…
but in seconds.
And the difference between full control and complete failure begins with the commander’s ability to understand flame behavior and smoke direction before anyone else can see it.
In airport fires, smoke doesn’t just tell you where the fire is…
It tells you what will happen next.
Its color, speed, density, and shape are all critical signals carrying detailed information about the fire’s heat, fuel type, spread patterns, explosion potential, and the level of threat to passengers, the aircraft, and the airport infrastructure.
The fire itself is not just flames…
It is a shifting equation driven by factors such as fuel quantity, wind, aircraft position, type of combustibles, and the behavior of the structure under extreme heat.
And the fire commander who can read this equation is the commander who wins the battle before it even begins.
In airports specifically, understanding smoke movement becomes more important than understanding the flames themselves.
Smoke is the first thing to move… the first thing to reach passengers… and the first thing to inform the operations room about the direction of danger.
It can enter the aircraft cabin, leak through maintenance openings, travel through service tunnels, and change direction due to engine pressure or wind.

Bitters - A Spirited History of...

Brad Thomas Parsons

Gone are the days when a lonely bottle of Angostura bitters held court behind the bar. A cocktail renaissance has swept across the country, inspiring in bartenders and their thirsty patrons a new fascination with the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that make the American cocktail so special. And few ingredients have as rich a history or serve as fundamental a role in our beverage heritage as bitters. 
 
 
 
Author and bitters enthusiast Brad Thomas Parsons traces the history of the world's most storied elixir, from its earliest "snake oil" days to its near evaporation after Prohibition to its ascension as a beloved (and at times obsessed-over) ingredient on the contemporary bar scene. Parsons writes from the front lines of the bitters boom, where he has access to the best and boldest new brands and flavors, the most innovative artisanal producers, and insider knowledge of the bitters-making process. 
 
 
 
Bitters has a dozen recipes for customized blends, as well as tips on sourcing ingredients and step-by-step instructions fit for amateur and seasoned food crafters alike. Also featured are more than seventy cocktail recipes that showcase bitters' diversity and versatility. Last but not least, there is a full chapter on cooking with bitters, with a dozen recipes for sweet and savory bitters-infused dishes.
