Beschreibung

Ocean Circulation Changes explores the critical issue of how climate change is impacting deep-sea currents and their profound effects on global weather patterns and marine ecosystems. These currents, acting as a global conveyor belt, distribute heat and nutrients, making their stability crucial. The book investigates how rising temperatures and altered salinity levels, driven by melting polar ice and changing rainfall, disrupt these vital ocean systems.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental oceanography principles like thermohaline circulation and density gradients, then analyzes how temperature, salinity, and wind shifts influence these currents. Specific regions, such as the North Atlantic and Southern Ocean, where significant changes are already observed, receive focused attention.

 
Through scientific data from research vessels, climate models, and satellite imagery, the book highlights how alterations in ocean heat transport can trigger shifts in worldwide weather.

 
Ultimately, Ocean Circulation Changes offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary understanding of ocean circulation changes, blending cutting-edge research with accessible explanations. It progresses to discuss future scenarios, potential feedback loops, and implications for climate modeling and policy, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone seeking to grasp the complex dynamics of our changing climate and environment.

Website Development - Web Design...

Jonathan Rigdon

Website development involves creating and maintaining websites. It encompasses various aspects such as web design, web programming, and database management. Web developers use languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the structure, style, and interactivity of websites. Additionally, they may work with server-side scripting languages like PHP, Python, or Ruby to handle dynamic content and databases. Understanding user experience (UX) and search engine optimization (SEO) are also crucial for creating successful websites.

The Human Gene Editing Debate

John H. Evans

In 2018 the first genetically modified babies were reportedly born in China, made possible by the invention of CRISPR technology in 2012. This controversial advancement overturned the pre-existing moral consensus, which had held for over fifty years before: while gene editing an adult person was morally acceptable, modifying babies, and thus subsequent generations, crossed a significant moral line. If this line is passed over, scientists will be left without an agreed-upon ethical limit. What do we do now? 
 
 
 
John H. Evans here provides a meta-level guide to how these debates move forward and their significance to society. He explains how the bioethical debate has long been characterized as a slippery slope, with consensually ethical use at the top, nightmarish dystopia at the bottom, and specific agreed-upon limits in between, which draw the lines between the ethical and the unethical. Evans frames his analysis around these limits, or barriers. He examines the history of how barriers were placed, then fell, then replaced by new ones, and discusses how these insights inform where the debate may head. He evaluates other proposed barriers relevant to where we are now, projects that most of the barriers suggested by scientists and bioethicists will not hold, and cautiously identifies a few that could serve as the moral boundary for the next generation.

The Shortest History of Sex -...

David Baker, Simon Whistler

From the first microbial exchanges of DNA to Tinder and sexbots, how did sex begin, and how did it evolve to be so varied and complex in humans? What influence do our genetic ancestors have on our current love lives? And what might sex look like in the future? 
 
 
 
With acuity, humor, and respect for human diversity, The Shortest History of Sex reveals where the many facets of our sexuality—chemical, anatomical, behavioral, social—come from. Chasing down our evolutionary family tree, from the first aquatic creatures to primate societies, David Baker sheds light on our baffling array of passions, impulses, and fetishes, and guides us toward a clear understanding of one of the deepest, most abiding forces of human nature. 
 
 
 
The Shortest History of Sex also charts how sex changed for humans across the foraging, agrarian, and modern eras, showing how, even as our biology and sexual instincts have remained the same, the current nature of our sex lives has no historical or evolutionary precedent. 
 
 
 
The result is a revealing, utterly unique insight into history and human behavior—and the profound forces of nature and nurture compelling our most intimate relationships.
