Sinopsis

"Giant's Causeway" explores one of Earth's most remarkable geological wonders, focusing on the spectacular hexagonal basalt columns that line Northern Ireland's coast. This UNESCO World Heritage site, formed approximately 60 million years ago through massive volcanic eruptions, showcases over 40,000 interlocking columns that have captivated scientists and visitors alike.

 
The book masterfully explains how specific conditions during the Paleogene Period, including precise cooling rates and chemical composition of lava flows, created these distinctive formations. Through a blend of academic rigor and accessible prose, the text guides readers from basic geological concepts to complex Earth processes, examining three main aspects: the volcanic origins, the geometric patterns of cooling basalt, and the site's significance in understanding plate tectonics.

 
The narrative weaves together modern scientific understanding with historical perspectives, utilizing recent research findings and advanced imaging techniques to reveal the hidden structures beneath the visible columns. Detailed illustrations, geological maps, and cross-sections help readers visualize the complex processes at work.

 
The book distinguishes itself by connecting Giant's Causeway to broader geological phenomena, including similar formations in Iceland and Scotland, while incorporating insights from multiple scientific disciplines. Each chapter builds upon previous knowledge, making complex concepts accessible to both geology students and curious general readers.

 
The work concludes with practical applications in volcanic hazard assessment and geological engineering, while addressing ongoing conservation challenges. This comprehensive approach makes it an invaluable resource for understanding both the specific site and its place in Earth's broader geological narrative.

    When the City Stopped - Stories...

    In When the City Stopped, Robert Snyder tells the story of COVID-19 in the words of ordinary New Yorkers, illuminating the fear and uncertainty of life in the early weeks and months, as well as the solidarity that sustained the city. New Yorkers were "alone together," separated by the protective measures of social distancing and the fundamental inequalities of life and work in New York City. Through their personal accounts, we see that while many worked from home, others knowingly exposed themselves to the dangers of the pandemic as they drove buses, ran subways, answered 911 calls, tended to the sick, and made and delivered meals. 
     
     
     
    Snyder builds bridges of knowledge and empathy between those who bore dangerous burdens and those who lived in relative safety. The story is told through the words of health care workers, grocery clerks, transit workers, and community activists who recount their experiences in poems, first-person narratives, and interviews. When the City Stopped preserves for future generations what it was like to be in New York when it was at the center of the pandemic.

    Understanding how right-brain and left-brain differences influence our habits, thoughts, and actions. 
     
     
     
    Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics? 
     
     
     
    Side Effects delves into how lateral biases in our brains influence our everyday behavior, and how being aware of these biases can be to our advantage.
