Sinopse

Opal Formationexplores the fascinating geological processes behind the creation of opals, those gemstones celebrated for their captivating "play-of-color." This book reveals how specific environmental conditions and geological history determine an opal's unique traits. You'll discover that the formation of opals involves silica deposits and transport, crucial for understanding broader geological phenomena. The book also highlights that deeper knowledge of opal genesis aids in more effective exploration and sustainable mining practices.

 
The book begins by introducing opal composition and then examines silica gel formation, explaining how its hardening results in the nanoscale structure responsible for the "play-of-color." It explores diverse geological settings, from arid deserts to volcanic terrains, showcasing where opals form. Case studies from regions like Australia and Ethiopia demonstrate the influence of local hydrology, rock chemistry, and tectonic activity on opal deposits.

 
By bridging mineralogy, geochemistry, and geology, this study presents an integrated model of opal genesis, considering factors like pH and temperature, making it valuable for geology students, mineral enthusiasts, and gemologists alike.

    A nuanced analysis takes a California oil spill as its point of departure to show how affluent homeowners pushed for an environmentalism that would protect not only the earth but also property and community norms. A massive oil spill in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara, California, in 1969 quickly became a landmark in the history of American environmentalism, helping to inspire the creation of both the Environmental Protection Agency and Earth Day. But what role did the history of Santa Barbara itself play in this? As Pollyanna Rhee shows, the city’s past and demographics were essential to the portrayal of the oil spill as momentous. Moreover, well-off and influential Santa Barbarans were positioned to “domesticate” the larger environmental movement by embodying the argument that individual homes and families—not society as a whole—needed protection from environmental abuses. This soon would put environmental rhetoric and power to fundamentally conservative—not radical—ends.

    Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

    When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
    Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
    Sample passages: 
    From Chapter 1 
    "Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
    From Chapter 16 
    "The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
    In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."
