Synopsis

"Deep Sea Riddles" takes readers on a fascinating journey into the mysterious world of deep-sea ecosystems, exploring how life thrives in the ocean's most extreme environments. The book masterfully weaves together cutting-edge research on marine adaptations, from the remarkable bioluminescent capabilities of deep-sea creatures to the extraordinary pressure-resistant mechanisms that allow organisms to survive at crushing depths.

 
Through a methodical progression from physical environmental challenges to biological solutions, the text reveals the intricate relationships between marine life and their harsh surroundings. The book stands out for its comprehensive examination of three key themes: physiological adaptations to extreme conditions, complex community relationships, and the broader implications for our understanding of life's possibilities.

 
Readers discover fascinating examples, such as the anglerfish's unique symbiotic relationship with bacteria and the scaly-foot snail's innovative iron-sulfide armor. These real-world cases demonstrate nature's ingenious solutions to seemingly impossible survival challenges.

 
Moving beyond pure marine biology, the narrative connects deep-sea research to practical applications in biotechnology, climate science, and even the search for extraterrestrial life. The book balances technical accuracy with accessibility, making complex concepts understandable through clear explanations and relevant examples. This approach, combined with its thorough examination of current research methodologies and conservation challenges, makes it an invaluable resource for both students and enthusiasts of marine science.

Robot Souls - Programming in...

Eve Poole

Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. 
 
 
 
Looking closely at the human blueprint, it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition, that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose, would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there, it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this 'junk' code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. 
 
 
 
Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our 'junk code' in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code, and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI.

What We Know about Climate...

Kerry Emanuel

This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).

This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.

What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

The Physics of NASCAR - The...

Diandra Leslie-Pelecky, Ray...

Every NASCAR fan—at one time or another—asks the same question: Why isn't my favorite driver winning? This is your chance to discover how much more there is to NASCAR than "Go fast, turn left, and don't crash." If you've ever wondered why race cars don't have mufflers, how "bump drafting" works, or what in the world "Let's go up a pound on the right rear and add half a round of wedge" means, The Physics of NASCAR is for you. 
 
 
 
In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800-horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another. 
 
 
 
Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car—and maybe occasionally looks under the hood—can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest. 
 
 
 
Listeners, start your engines.
