Beschreibung

Sapphire Growth explores the geological environments and processes that transform the mineral corundum into stunning sapphires, gems coveted worldwide. It delves into the crucial role of trace elements like iron and titanium, revealing how their presence and concentration dictate a sapphire's color, from deep blues to vibrant pinks and yellows. The book highlights that even slight variations in chemical composition can dramatically alter a gemstone's appearance.

 
The book systematically unfolds the story of sapphire formation, starting with corundum's basic properties and advancing to the geological settings that foster crystal growth. Different deposit types, such as magmatic, metamorphic, and alluvial, are examined to understand their unique influence on sapphire characteristics. Case studies from major sapphire-producing regions like Sri Lanka and Madagascar illustrate the varied geological histories that contribute to gem genesis, using geological maps and spectroscopic data to support its findings.

 
Targeted toward students, geologists, and gem enthusiasts, Sapphire Growth presents a fact-based, accessible overview of sapphire genesis, emphasizing natural processes and geological factors. By integrating mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrology, the book offers a holistic understanding of sapphire formation, providing valuable insights into exploration strategies and gemstone provenance.

    Let the one and only Dr. Joe battle pseudoscience and cast a life preserver out to all those drowning in a sea of misinformation 
     
     
     
    We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery—loosely defined as the spread of false "knowledge," often accompanied by various versions of "snake oil"—is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. 
     
     
     
    In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.

    Since highland cattle ransacked his grandmother's vegetable patch when he was six, Roger Morgan-Grenville has been fascinated by cows. 
     
    So at the age of 61, with no farming experience, he signed on as a part- time labourer on a beef cattle farm to tell their side of the story. The result is this lyrical and evocative book. 
     
    For 10,000 years, cow and human lives have been intertwined. Cattle have existed alongside us, fed and shod us, quenched our thirst, and provided a thousand other tiny services, and yet most of us know little about them. We are also blissfully unaware of the de-natured lives we often ask them to lead. 
     
    Part history, part adventure and part unsentimental manifesto for how we should treat cows in the 21st century, Taking Stock asks us to think carefully about what we eat, and to let nature back into food production.
