Sinopse

How Ice Forms explores the fascinating science behind something we often take for granted: ice. It reveals how the molecular processes of ice formation are crucial for understanding global weather patterns, climate change, and the health of our planet's ecosystems. The book emphasizes that current climate models, which often oversimplify these processes, may lead to inaccurate predictions about sea-level rise and extreme weather events. 

 
The book uniquely presents a comprehensive view of how ice impacts our world. It begins with the basics of water's molecular structure and gradually builds to cover complex topics like the role of aerosols in atmospheric ice nucleation, the impact of ice on ocean circulation, and the stability of permafrost regions. For instance, the book highlights that ice influences global albedo, affecting how much sunlight Earth reflects and, consequently, its temperature. It connects earth sciences with atmospheric science and oceanography. 

 
How Ice Forms adopts an accessible approach, making complex scientific concepts understandable through real-world examples. It progresses logically through the material, using laboratory experiments, satellite observations, and climate model simulations to support its arguments. The book concludes with discussions on the practical implications of ice formation for climate modeling and geoengineering, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in environmental science.

    The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
     
     
     
    With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk. Along the way, Hong has her own stories to tell, from paddling the Namekagon and wild ricing on the Moosehorn to planting trees with school kids. With its mix of stories and practical information, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley makes an engaging companion for anyone venturing to this extraordinary place.

    This audiobook narrated by neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents an evolutionary case for the existence of free will
    
    Scientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions. As we probe ever deeper into the mechanics of decision making, many conclude that agency—or free will—is an illusion. In Free Agents, leading neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents a wealth of evidence to the contrary, arguing that we are not mere machines responding to physical forces but agents acting with purpose.
    
    Traversing billions of years of evolution, Mitchell tells the remarkable story of how living beings capable of choice emerged from lifeless matter. He explains how the emergence of nervous systems provided a means to learn about the world, granting sentient animals the capacity to model, predict, and simulate. Mitchell reveals how these faculties reached their peak in humans with our abilities to imagine and to be introspective, to reason in the moment, and to shape our possible futures through the exercise of our individual agency. Mitchell's argument has important implications—for how we understand decision making, for how our individual agency can be enhanced or infringed, for how we think about collective agency in the face of global crises, and for how we consider the limitations and future of artificial intelligence.
    
    An astonishing journey of discovery, Free Agents offers a new framework for understanding how, across a billion years of Earth history, life evolved the power to choose and why this matters.
