Sinossi

Lapis Lazuli explores the captivating story of this gemstone, bridging Earth science, art history, and archaeology to reveal its enduring allure. It delves into how specific metamorphic processes, like contact metamorphism, create its intense blue hue, a color that has adorned royalty and illuminated masterpieces for millennia. The book uniquely combines geological data with historical narratives to provide a comprehensive understanding of the stone's significance.

 
Readers will discover how lapis lazuli's journey spans from ancient civilizations, such as Egypt and Mesopotamia, where it was prized for royal regalia and religious artifacts, to its contemporary use in jewelry and fine art. The book examines the geological origins of lapis lazuli, explores its historical significance across different cultures, and investigates its modern applications. It progresses from examining the Earth's formative processes to tracing the stone's historical impact and discussing current ethical considerations.

    “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
    		 
    From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
    		 
    Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
    		 
    For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

    The evolution of mobile networks has been marked by significant technological advancements, each bringing us closer to a more connected world. From the early days of 1G, which introduced voice communication, to the high-speed data services of 4G, each generation has made its mark. However, 5G technology is set to revolutionize connectivity, offering not just faster speeds but also enabling new capabilities that were previously unimaginable. Understanding 5G is essential, as it holds the potential to transform industries, enhance our daily lives, and shape the future of communication. 
    What sets 5G apart from its predecessors is its sheer speed and low latency. While 4G networks provided impressive data speeds, 5G can offer speeds up to 100 times faster, making it possible to download and stream data almost instantaneously. This leap in speed opens up a wide range of possibilities, from improved mobile broadband services to enhanced user experiences in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Furthermore, 5G is designed to handle more devices simultaneously, addressing the growing demands of the Internet of Things (IoT). With billions of connected devices expected to flood the market, 5G ensures that the infrastructure can support this explosion of smart gadgets and sensors. 
    Low latency, another hallmark of 5G technology, plays a critical role in reducing the time it takes for data to travel between devices and networks. This low-latency characteristic makes 5G particularly valuable for applications that require real-time communication, such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgeries, and live-streamed events. The ability to transmit data with minimal delay opens up a new era of connectivity, where immediate responses are critical to the success of many systems.

    Toddlers hold the secrets to having more fun and living a fulfilling life. These are secrets we once knew and ones that a Harvard-trained physician can help us rediscover. 
     
    Terrible twos, temper tantrums, and grocery store meltdowns are usually the first things that come to mind when people think of toddlers. But pediatric emergency medicine physician and researcher Dr. Hasan Merali has long thought toddlers are among the best people in our society and adults could do well to learn from them.  
     
    These extraordinary youngsters can be impulsive, yes, but with this comes a remarkable ability to take risks and ask questions—two qualities that can help us enjoy life more. Toddlers act kindly toward strangers, are eager to work with others to solve problems, and demonstrate extraordinary dedication and perseverance. These are all traits that many of us aspire to have in order to improve both our personal and professional lives. 
     
    To unpack this behavior, Dr. Merali includes many humorous examples from his experience as a pediatrician and father, but the core lessons are drawn from two decades worth of fascinating and surprising studies in child psychology and development. Merali connects these studies to research about adults to create the first book to offer adults important lessons that can be gleaned from toddlers.  
     
    Toddlers can teach you many things, including how to: 
    • Lose weight naturally • Sleep better • Build stronger friendships • Improve teamwork • Be more productive • Have more fun, and • Live a more fulfilling life 
     
    Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas shows us how toddlers bring out the best in humanity and how we can, too. It’s a whole new way of looking at and learning from toddlers.
