Our Fragile Moment

Our Fragile Moment

In this sweeping work of science and history, the renowned climate scientist and author of The New Climate War shows us the conditions on Earth that allowed humans not only to exist but thrive, and how they are imperiled if we veer off course.   For the vast majority of its 4.54 billion years, Earth has proven it can manage just fine without human beings. Then came the first proto-humans, who emerged just a little more than 2 million years ago—a fleeting moment in geological time. What is it that made this benevolent moment of ours possible? Ironically, it’s the very same thing that now threatens us—climate change. The drying of the tropics during the Pleistocene period created a niche for early hominids, who could hunt prey as forests gave way to savannahs in the African tropics. The sudden cooling episode known as the “Younger Dryas” 13,000 years ago, which occurred just as Earth was thawing out of the last Ice Age, spurred the development of agriculture in the fertile crescent. The “Little Ice Age” cooling of the 16th-19th centuries led to famines and pestilence for much of Europe, yet it was a boon for the Dutch, who were able to take advantage of stronger winds to shorten their ocean voyages. The conditions that allowed humans to live on this earth are fragile, incredibly so. Climate variability has at times created new niches that humans or their ancestors could potentially exploit, and challenges that at times have spurred innovation. But there’s a relatively narrow envelope of climate variability within which human civilization remains viable. And our survival depends on conditions remaining within that range.   In this book, renowned climate scientist Michael Mann will arm readers with the knowledge necessary to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis, while emboldening them—and others--to act before it truly does become too late.    

Plant Abiotic Stress Physiology

Plant Abiotic Stress Physiology

This two-volume set highlights the various innovative and emerging techniques and molecular applications that are currently being used in plant abiotic stress physiology. Volume 1: Responses and Adaptations focuses on the responses and adaptations of plants to stress factors at the cellular and molecular levels and offers a variety of advanced management strategies and technologies. Volume 2: Molecular Advancements introduces a range of state-of-the-art molecular advances for the mitigation of abiotic stress in plants.With contributions from specialists in the field, Volume 1 first discusses the physiology and defense mechanisms of plants and the various kinds of stress, such as from challenging environments, climate change, and nutritional deficiencies. It goes on to discuss trailblazing management techniques that include genetics approaches for improving abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants along with CRISPR/CAS-mediated genome editing technologies.Volume 2 discusses how plants have developed diverse physiological and molecular adjustments to safeguard themselves under challenging conditions and how emerging new technologies can utilize these plant adaptations to enhance plant resistance. These include using plant-environment interactions to develop crop species that are resilient to climate change, applying genomics and phenomics approaches from the study of abiotic stress tolerance and more.Agriculture today faces countless challenges to meet the rising need for sustainable food supplies and guarantees of high-quality nourishment for a quickly increasing population. To ensure sufficient food production, it is necessary to address the difficult environmental circumstances that are causing cellular oxidative stress in plants due to abiotic factors, which play a defining role in shaping yield of crop plants. These two volumes help to meet these challenges by providing a rich source of information on plant abiotic stress physiology and effective management techniques.

Dziwolągi

Dziwolągi

Przedstawienia z ich udziałem – freak shows lub side shows – stały się w drugiej połowie XIX stulecia elementem wystaw światowych oraz występów cyrkowych. Choć wystawianie na pokaz ludzi zdeformowanych od urodzenia bądź wskutek chorób nie było niczym nowym, bo tego typu spektakle urządzano już na średniowiecznych rynkach, to koniec XIX wieku, wraz z rodzącymi się środkami masowego przekazu, show-biznesem i reklamą, przyniósł rozkwit tego zjawiska.Julia Pastrana, Generał Tomcio Paluch czy bracia syjamscy Chang i Eng byli gwiazdami, światowymi celebrytami, a ich historie weszły do popkulturowego kanonu. Nie byli jednak jedyni, zaś życie ludzi wystawianych na pokaz było raczej pełne cieni niż blasku. Historie tych niezwykłych osób są często tragiczne, pełne okrucieństwa, niezrozumienia, wyzysku, choć pojawiały się też w nich momenty wielkiej sławy w świetle reflektorów scenicznych, emancypacja i walka o swoje prawa.Książka opowiada o losach ludzi, którzy byli bohaterami freak shows, i czasach, kiedy te pokazy święciły największe sukcesy. Autorka poprzez te biografie przygląda się dziejom freak shows, bada źródła ich popularności, a także analizuje kontekst historyczno-kulturowy kolonializmu i rasizmu oraz przemiany w świadomości społecznej, które przyniosły kres tego typu występom.

Smart Grids for Smart Cities, Volume 1

Smart Grids for Smart Cities, Volume 1

SMART GRIDS for SMART CITIES Written and edited by a team of experts in the field, this first volume in a two-volume set focuses on an interdisciplinary perspective on the financial, environmental, and other benefits of smart grid technologies and solutions for smart cities. What makes a regular electric grid a “smart” grid? It comes down to digital technologies that enable two-way communication between a utility and its customers, as opposed to the traditional electric grid, where power flows in one direction. Based on statistics and available research, smart grids globally attract the largest investment venues in smart cities. Smart grids and city buildings that are connected in smart cities contribute to significant financial savings and improve the economy. The smart grid has many components, including controls, computers, automation, and new technologies and equipment working together. These technologies cooperate with the electrical grid to respond digitally to our quickly changing electric demand. The investment in smart grid technology also has certain challenges. The interconnected feature of smart grids is valuable, but it tremendously increases their susceptibility to threats. It is crucial to secure smart grids wherein many technologies are employed to increase real-time situational awareness and the ability to support renewables, as well as system automation to increase the reliability, efficiency, and safety of the electric grid. This exciting new volume covers all of these technologies, including the basic concepts and the problems and solutions involved with the practical applications in the real world. Whether for the veteran engineer or scientist, the student, or a manager or other technician working in the field, this volume is a must-have for any library.

Les paradoxes de l'infini

Les paradoxes de l'infini

S'il est vrai qu'aucune passion, aucun souci ne résistent à la sérénité qu'apporte à l'esprit la discipline mathématique, c'est faire une cure de sérénité que lire le nouvel ouvrage d'Émile Borel, qui s'est proposé de raconter, dans ses traits essentiels, l'histoire des relations entre les mathématiciens et la notion d'infini. La première partie du livre relate les circonstances où s'est produite la rencontre des mathématiciens et de l'infini, en Grèce, quelques siècles avant l'ère chrétienne (Zénon, cruel Zénon!). La deuxième partie expose la conquête et l'organisation de l'infini par les mathématiciens modernes, du XVIe au XIXe siècle. La troisième partie, enfin, étudie les plus importantes des difficultés et les divergences de vues qui se sont présentées dans les temps actuels lorsqu'on a cherché à préciser et à approfondir les résultats acquis sur l'infini mathématique.

Gauri albe

Gauri albe

Traducere de Liviu Ornea   „Nu-i nevoie să ai un doctorat în astrofizică sau să fii expert în Albert Einstein pentru a savura cartea lui Rovelli Găuri albe – ea vorbește despre imaginație și explorare la fel de mult ca despre fizică. Carlo Rovelli își ajută cititorii să descopere cât de importantă e imaginația pentru ca atât artiștii, cât și oamenii de știință să privească altfel universul.“ — Associated Press   Până relativ recent destui oameni de știință credeau că găurile negre, obiecte care înghit tot ce se află în vecinătatea lor, sunt pure ficțiuni ale teoreticienilor, permise de ecuațiile gravitației lui Einstein. Azi, găurile negre au depășit domeniul SF, fizicienii nu se mai îndoiesc că ele există, și a fost chiar fotografiat efectul lor asupra corpurilor cosmice. Aceleași ecuații ale lui Einstein permit însă și existența găurilor albe, obiecte din care ies materie și radiație, în loc să intre, inversul găurilor negre. Găurile albe, deocamdată ipotetice, sunt pariul susținut de Carlo Rovelli și explicat cu farmecul unui narator pasionat, ca în toate cărțile sale, pentru a ajunge la o perspectivă fascinantă asupra timpului și universului.   „Arta nu se află în obiectul artistic, și cu atât mai puțin în vreo misterioasă lume spirituală, ci în complexitatea creierului nostru, în caleidoscopica rețea a relațiilor analogice cu care reacționează neuronii noștri la obiectul respectiv, țesând ceea ce noi numim semnificație. Suntem mișcați pentru că acest proces ne scoate un pic din somnambulismul nostru obișnuit și ne redă bucuria de a vedea ceva nou în lume. E aceeași bucurie pe care ne-o dă știința.“ — CARLO ROVELLI
