Sinossi

Mineral Formation explores the fascinating processes behind the creation of minerals, the fundamental building blocks of our planet. It delves into how minerals form through crystallization from magma, precipitation from aqueous solutions, and under intense pressure, revealing their crucial role in shaping the Earth's crust and influencing global geochemical cycles. Understanding mineral genesis is critical for interpreting geological history and predicting natural hazards.

 
The book examines the practical applications of minerals in various sectors, from construction to technology, highlighting our dependence on these natural resources. It emphasizes the environmental implications of mineral extraction, discussing sustainable mining practices and the potential for eco-friendly technologies.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with mineralogy and geochemistry fundamentals, then detailing formation environments supported by geological data and concluding with the economic importance of minerals and sustainable resource management.

 
Unique in its approach, Mineral Formation integrates knowledge from geology, chemistry, and physics to provide a holistic perspective on mineral formation and utilization. This interdisciplinary approach enhances understanding of complex interactions within Earth's systems and empowers readers to understand the origins of common materials and the challenges of responsible resource management, making it invaluable for anyone interested in Earth Sciences, Geography, and Nature.

    Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
    'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás

    The secret world of animals at night, and a call to preserve the endangered darkness they inhabit, by an intrepid wildlife biologist 
     
     
     
    When the sun has set, things get interesting with wild animals. Where people wait for buses during the day, a family of raccoons rummages through the trash can. Foxes and skunks search for food; fireflies send flashing signals to potential mates; owls and bats fly overhead. Night is not just a time, but a diverse habitat that we still know too little about. Wildlife biologist Sophia Kimmig is on the trail of the secrets of the night. Not only does she introduce its wild inhabitants, but she also shows what it's like to live in this parallel world—how it came to be, what it looks like, feels like, and smells like—in this fascinating journey into the wonders of the night.
