Sinossi

"Sky Colors" explores the captivating science behind the ever-changing colors of the sky, from the familiar daytime blue to the vibrant hues of sunset. The book delves into the fundamental principles of atmospheric science, meteorology, and Earth sciences to explain these optical phenomena. One intriguing insight is how Rayleigh scattering, the selective scattering of sunlight by atmospheric particles, is most effective at shorter wavelengths, resulting in the blue sky we see when the sun is high. As the sun sets, its light travels through more of the atmosphere, scattering away the blue and leaving the longer wavelengths of red and orange to dominate. 

 
The book systematically builds upon core concepts, beginning with the physics of light and atmospheric composition, then delving into Rayleigh scattering and its dependence on wavelength and particle size. It also explores how atmospheric conditions, such as humidity and pollution, can modify the scattering process and impact sky color. This approach emphasizes scientific reasoning and the link between theoretical predictions and real-world observations.

 
Finally, "Sky Colors" connects these scientific principles to broader environmental phenomena, such as air quality monitoring and climate change, demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of this captivating subject. By understanding the science of sky colors, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world and its intricate processes.

The Secret of Everyday Things

Jean Henri Fabre

The clearness, simpicity, and charm of the great French naturalist's style are nowhere better illustrated than in this work, which in its variety of subject-matter and apt use of entertaining anecdote rivals "The Story-Book of Science," already a favorite with his readers.  Such instances of antiquated usage or superseded methods as occur in these chapters of popular science easily win our indulgence because of the literary charm and warm human quality investing all that the author has to say.  -- Translator (Introductory Note).

A Call to Farms - Reconnecting...

Jennifer Grayson

Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
 
 
 
Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
 
 
 
To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

Salleyland - Wildlife Adventures...

Whit Gibbons

Following his retirement from academic life, renowned naturalist and writer Whit Gibbons and his family purchased a tract of abandoned farmland where the South Carolina piedmont meets the coastal plain. Described as backcountry scrubland, it was originally envisioned as a family retreat, but soon the property became Gibbons's outdoor learning laboratory where he was often aided by his four grandchildren, along with a host of enthusiastic visitors. 
 
 
 
Inspired by nature's power to excite, educate, and provide a sense of place in the world, Gibbons invites listeners to learn about their surrounding environments. Peppered throughout with colorful personal anecdotes and told with Gibbons's affable style and wit, Salleyland: Wildlife Adventures in Swamps, Sandhills, and Forests is more than a personal memoir or a record of place. Rather, it is an exercise in learning about a patch of nature, thereby reminding us to open our eyes to the complexity and wonder of the natural world. 
 
 
 
With Gibbons's guidance and encouragement, listeners will learn to embrace their inner scientists, equipped with the knowledge and encouragement to venture beyond their own front doors, ready to discover the secrets of their habitat, regardless of where they live.
