An enchanting biography of the most resonant-and most necessary-chemical element on Earth. Carbon. It's in the fibers in your hair, the timbers in your walls, the food that you eat, and the air that you breathe. It's worth billions as a luxury and half a trillion as a necessity, but there are still mysteries yet to be solved about the element that can be both diamond and coal. Where does it come from, what does it do, and why, above all, does life need it? With poetic storytelling, earth scientist Robert Hazen leads us on a global journey through the origin and evolution of life's most ubiquitous element. The story unfolds in four movements-Earth, Air, Fire, and Water-and transports us through 14 billion years of cosmic history. From the archives of Harvard to the cliffs of Scotland and into the precious metal mines of Namibia, Symphony in C is a sweeping chronicle of carbon: the most essential element on Earth.
Atoms are unfathomably tiny. It takes fifteen million trillion of them to make up a single poppy seed--give or take a few billion. And there's hardly anything to them: atoms are more than 99.999999999 percent empty space. Yet scientists have learned to count these slivers of near nothingness with precision and to peer into their internal states. In looking so closely, we have learned that atoms, because of their inimitable signatures and imperturbable internal clocks, are little archives holding the secrets of the past. David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe--back to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years ago--with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell, answering questions such as: Is a medieval illustrated prayer book real or forged? How did maize cultivation spread from the highlands of central Mexico to New England? What was Earth's climate like before humans emerged? Where can we find clues to identify the culprit in the demise of the dinosaurs? When did our planet and solar system form? Can we trace the births of atoms in the cores of massive stars or even glimpse the origins of the universe itself? A lively and inviting introduction to the building blocks of everything we know, The Universal Timekeepers demonstrates the power of science to unveil the mysteries of unreachably remote times and places. | Author: David Helfand | Publisher: Columbia University Press | Publication Date: Sep 19, 2023 | Number of Pages: 288 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 0231210981 | ISBN-13: 9780231210980
Three factions vie for control of the galaxy. Rig, a gunslinging, thieving, rebel with a cause, doesn't give a damn about them and she hasn't looked back since abandoning her faction three years ago. That is, until her former faction sends her a message: return what she stole from them, or they'll kill her twin sister. Rig embarks on a journey across the galaxy to save her sister- but for once she's not alone. She has help from her network of resistance contacts, her taser-wielding librarian girlfriend, and a mysterious bounty hunter. If Rig fails and her former faction finds what she stole from them, trillions of lives will be lost--including her sister's. But if she succeeds, she might just pull the whole damn faction system down around their ears. Either way, she's going to do it with panache and pizzazz. Softcover; 444 pages
Controversial take on tree planting: Pearce argues that tree planting is problematic and that forests should be given space and time to heal on their own.We are all connected by trees: We often think of saving only our local trees. Pearce shows that we must think globally; humans depend on forests everywhere to keep our planet cool, breathable, and livable.Indigenous knowledge: Pearce interviews Indigenous peoples who live in and depend on the forests he writes about and shares their knowledge with their consent.Adventure travel: Pearce takes readers on an adventure to visit some of the most spectacular and unusual forests in the world.Books about tree and plant intelligence are top sellers: *The Hidden Life of Trees, Braiding Sweetgrass +*The Overstory together sold nearly half a million copies in 2020.Award-winning environmental science writer: Pearce has authored more than a dozen books and has won awards for his writings, which range in subject matter from the water crisis to consumerism and radioactive waste.
