Sinopse

"Moon Shrinks Slowly" explores the fascinating reality of lunar contraction, revealing how our Moon is gradually shrinking due to its cooling interior since its formation. This process causes wrinkles and cracks on the lunar surface, forming fault scarps that offer visual evidence of this geological activity. NASA missions have provided crucial data, highlighting that the Moon isn't geologically dead but a dynamic world. This book emphasizes that lunar contraction is an ongoing process, supported by high-resolution imagery from missions like the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

 
It begins by introducing lunar geology basics, then systematically builds its argument by analyzing fault scarps, modeling the Moon's thermal history, and examining moonquakes. Understanding these processes has implications for future lunar exploration, resource utilization, and even our understanding of other rocky bodies in our solar system.

Designing for Democracy - How to...

Jennifer Forestal

How should we "fix" digital technologies to support democracy instead of undermining it? In Designing for Democracy, Jennifer Forestal argues that accurately evaluating the democratic potential of digital spaces means studying how the built environment—a primary component of our "modern public square"—structures our activity, shapes our attitudes, and supports the kinds of relationships and behaviors democracy requires. 
 
 
 
While many scholars and practitioners are attentive to the role of design in shaping behavior, they have yet to fully engage with the question of what structures are required to support democratic communities—and how to build them. Forestal closes this gap by providing a new theory of democratic space. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, she argues that "democratic spaces" must be designed with three environmental characteristics—boundaries, durability, and flexibility—that, taken together, afford users the ability to engage in fundamental civic practices. 
 
 
 
Through extended analyses of Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, Forestal shows precisely how well these digital platforms meet the criteria for democratic spaces, or whether they do so at all. The result is a nuanced analysis of the democratic communities that form—or fail to emerge—in these spaces, as well as more concrete suggestions for how to improve them.
