Sinopsis

Diamond Formation explores the fascinating journey of diamonds, from their creation in the Earth's mantle to their discovery as coveted gemstones. This book delves into the extreme conditions required for diamond formation, highlighting the interplay of geology, geography, and nature. Discover how these gems, formed under intense heat and pressure, act as time capsules, offering insights into Earth's deep interior. The book uniquely emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of diamond research.

 
The book examines the mantle's crucial role, the volcanic eruptions of kimberlite and lamproite that bring diamonds to the surface, and the impact of plate tectonics on diamond genesis. Beginning with fundamental concepts of diamond structure and carbon sources, it progresses to detail kimberlite and lamproite formation, and concludes with the influence of subduction. Readers will gain an enriched understanding of Earth science and the processes shaping our planet.

    In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

    Mix 1 oz. Chelsea Handler, 1.5 oz. Nora Ephron, finish with a twist of Tina Fey, and you get Ali in Wonderland, the uproarious, revealing, and heartfelt memoir from acclaimed actress and comedian Ali Wentworth. Whether spilling secrets about her quintessentially WASPy upbringing (and her delicious rebellion against it), reminiscing about her Seinfeld “Schmoopie” days and her appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, or baring the details of starting a family alongside husband George Stephanopoulos, one thing is for sure—Ali has the unsurpassable humor and warmth of a born storyteller with a story to tell: the quirky, flavorful, surprising, and sometimes scandalous Ali in Wonderland. 
    “Ali Wentworth is funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth.” —Alec Baldwin

    “Mbona is a Zulu word meaning ‘I see’. 
    Mbona Private Nature Reserve is a glorious slice of paradise nestled in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands, South Africa, which I have the privilege to call home.  
    These stories, which were gathered over many years of living on Mbona, were originally intended to be a podcast, but then I decided to compile them into this audiobook. 
    Herein I share moments, experiences, events, and memories. I’m sure those who know Mbona will relate to much that is shared here, but whether you know Mbona or not, I do hope that you will be inspired to adventure and make your own treasured memories. 
    Happy listening, happy memory making.”
