Sinossi

Food Extinctions unveils the looming crisis of disappearing crops and livestock, highlighting threats to global food security. It explores how climate change disrupts agricultural yields and livestock viability, causing erratic weather patterns that stress animals and alter growing seasons. Disease outbreaks, intensified by globalization, further decimate food sources, threatening entire populations. Monoculture farming and habitat destruction, driven by unsustainable human practices, also contribute to this decline, reducing genetic diversity and increasing vulnerability. The book examines the biological, environmental, and social factors driving food source loss, arguing that the current rate jeopardizes food systems and planetary health.

 
Presenting scientific data alongside real-world examples, the book integrates climate science, public health, and economics to illustrate the interconnectedness of ecosystems and agricultural practices. It progresses by introducing the problem, dedicating sections to climate change, disease, and human activity, then culminating in practical applications to avert extinction. This book offers a unique perspective by connecting scientific data with real-world examples, emphasizing ecosystem interconnectedness, agricultural practices, and human societies.

 
Intended for a broad audience, Food Extinctions aims to raise awareness and inspire action toward sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation, and disease prevention, offering insights into safeguarding our food future.

    In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.

    From cells in our bodies to measuring the universe, big numbers are everywhere 
     
    We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a ‘biggest number’. Or can there? 
     
    To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? 
     
    Then things get serious. 
     
    Enter the strange realm between the finite and the infinite, and float through a universe where the rules we cling to no longer apply. Encounter the highest number computable, infinite kinds of infinity and ask whether one infinity can be greater than another. At every turn, a cast of wild and wonderful characters threatens the status quo with their ideas, and each time the numbers get larger.
