Sinopse

"Water Systems" presents a comprehensive exploration of Earth's vital water networks, from the smallest molecular interactions to massive oceanic systems. This timely work examines how natural and engineered water systems interact to sustain life and shape our environment, particularly crucial as communities worldwide grapple with water security challenges and climate change impacts.

 
The book skillfully navigates through three interconnected themes: natural water systems (including rivers, aquifers, and glaciers), human-engineered infrastructure, and their integration in modern resource management. Beginning with fundamental concepts like the hydrologic cycle, it builds a strong foundation before delving into more complex topics. The text employs clear explanations and practical examples, supported by detailed diagrams and data visualizations, making technical concepts accessible to both specialists and informed citizens.

 
What sets this book apart is its holistic approach to water resource analysis, introducing new frameworks for understanding the intricate relationships between natural and engineered water systems. Through case studies from six continents, it demonstrates how water networks influence everything from climate patterns to urban development and public health. The book's systematic progression from basic principles to practical applications makes it an invaluable resource for environmental scientists, water resource managers, and policymakers seeking to address current and future water-related challenges.

    Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations. These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness)—or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you're actually furious, but can't tell your boss that). 
     
     
      
    Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive—to be us? The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language—one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations. 
     
     
      
    Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.

    Social Capital: Life online in...

    A David and Goliath story about Ireland’s role as prime real estate for the world’s largest tech multinationals, and the considerable impact it has had on us as individuals. 
    At the start of the millennium, the Tech giants landed on Ireland’s shores. Dublin, once one of Europe’s poorest cities, became a beacon of Silicon Valley’s promise of progress and power. As the face of the capital was remade in the image of Big Tech, Irish society embraced technology like no other. Romantic Ireland was dead and gone: social media was here to stay. 
    In this provocative account, Aoife Barry explores the human cost of Ireland’s Faustian pact with Big Tech, from the local communities uprooted by Google to the traumatised moderators squirrelled in the capital’s pockets, keeping the internet safe at a terrible price. Unsettling, insightful, and wryly funny, she paints a portrait of a country addicted to the internet, refreshing the news, refreshing Twitter, scrolling and scrolling towards a feverish future. She turns an equally honest eye on her own life online, from her humble beginnings using dial-up in her parent’s kitchen to working for Ireland’s first digital-only newsroom, and asks what we bargain in exchange for life in the metaverse. 
    Social Capital is the coming of age story of Ireland 3.0: set against the backdrop of the tech revolution, it chronicles how we collapse the boundary between physical and virtual reality, and where we might go from here. 
    Barry's new book, Social Capital, is a popular science exploration into the world of computers and information technology. It's a top pick for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, economics, and the latest developments in the tech industry. 
    For fans of Bill Gifford (Ledyard), Britney Spears (The woman in me), Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Bono (Surrender), and Ian H. Robertson (How Confidence Works).
