Première génération

Science & Nature

Et si ce n'était pas la fin du monde ?Face aux catastrophes climatiques et à l'effondrement des écosystèmes, un discours s'impose : tout va de plus en plus mal. Et pourtant... les données racontent une tout autre histoire.Dans ce livre aussi rigoureux que stimulant, Hannah Ritchie, spécialiste des questions environnementales pour Our World in Data, propose un changement de perspective radical : et si nous étions, pour la première fois de l'histoire, en mesure de laisser la planète dans un meilleur état que celui dans lequel nous l'avons trouvée ?S'appuyant sur de nombreux schémas clairs et parlants, l'autrice démêle les idées reçues sur le passé prétendument " durable " de nos ancêtres et montre que nos sociétés modernes, malgré leurs défauts, ont su inverser certaines tendances : reforestation, baisse de la pollution dans les pays riches, recul de la pauvreté, progrès en matière de santé, d'éducation et d'accès à l'eau.Sans minimiser l'urgence, Première Génération invite à agir avec lucidité, en évitant les pièges de l'éco-anxiété ou du catastrophisme. Une voix jeune, rigoureuse et engagée, suivie par des millions de lecteurs dans le monde." Pratique et vraiment indispensable.

Science and Hypothesis

Science & Nature

"Science and Hypothesis" is a study written in 1902, by the French mathematician, Henri Poincaré. It was designed with non-specialist readers in mind, and contains information on mathematics, space, physics and biology. The main theme of this work is that the absolute truth of science is non-existent. It postulates that many scientific beliefs are closer to convenient conventions than valid explanations. The chapters of this book include: "Number and Magnitude", "On the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning", "Mathematical Magnitude and Experiment", "Space", "Non-Euclidean Geometries", "Space and Geometry", "Experiment and Geometry", etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Longitudine

Science & Nature

Per secoli, fino al Settecento, il “problema della longitudine” fu una delle questioni più sentite e discusse nel mondo scientifico e non solo: nell’epoca delle grandi esplorazioni moltissime navi, incapaci di misurare la loro posizione, si smarrivano nell’oceano perdendo in mare il loro carico di uomini, merci, tesori. Anche astronomi del calibro di Galileo, Cassini, Huygens, Newton e Halley avevano cercato invano una soluzione basandosi sulla Luna e le stelle. Finché, nel 1714, il Parlamento inglese offrì una ricompensa di ventimila sterline in oro (l’equivalente di dieci milioni di euro oggi) a chi avesse scoperto come determinare la longitudine di una nave nell’oceano. La posta in palio stimolò una sfida tra gli scienziati del tempo, ma a trovare la soluzione fu un orologiaio autodidatta inglese, John Harrison, che ebbe il coraggio di sfidare la comunità scientifica con il suo “cronometro marino” in grado di segnare sempre l’ora “esatta” anche in mare. In un libro bestseller considerato un classico della divulgazione scientifica, Dava Sobel ripercorre la storia avventurosa dei quarant’anni di sforzi che furono necessari a Harrison non solo per costruire e perfezionare il suo cronometro, ma anche per dimostrare la validità e l’efficacia del suo metodo. Resoconto di una straordinaria vicenda scientifica e umana, Longitudine spazia tra astronomia, navigazione e matematica per offrirci l’entusiasmante racconto di una tappa decisiva nel percorso verso la modernità.

Planeta Aqua

Science & Nature

Jeremy Rifkin presenta una nueva y reveladora obra que redefine nuestra relación con el planeta y la emergencia climática para que podamos adaptarnos a un futuro acuático y transformar nuestra perspectiva sobre la esencia misma de la vida.¿Qué pasaría si un día, de repente, el planeta en el que vivimos nos pareciera tan siniestro como extraño, como si nos hubieran teletransportado a un planeta lejano? Ese aterrador futuro ya es nuestro presente. La hidrosfera, que sustenta toda la vida del planeta, se está revelando ante el calentamiento global: nos enfrentamos a diluvios primaverales casi bíblicos, sequías devastadoras, olas de calor, incendios forestales y mortíferos huracanes y tifones otoñales que causan estragos en los ecosistemas y en la sociedad.Durante demasiado tiempo hemos juzgado erróneamente la naturaleza misma de nuestra existencia y sobre lo que se sustenta. Hemos creído que vivíamos en un planeta de tierra, cuando la realidad es que vivimos en un planeta de agua, y ahora la hidrosfera del planeta se está resilvestrando en medio de un clima que no deja de cambiar, y está llevando a nuestra especie, así como a todas las demás, a una extinción masiva en su búsqueda de un nuevo equilibrio.Jeremy Rifkin nos insta a repensar nuestro lugar en el universo y a darnos cuenta de que vivimos en un «planeta Aqua». El autor nos guía en un viaje hacia el futuro en el que tendremos que reevaluar todos los aspectos de nuestra forma de vida: cómo nos relacionamos con la naturaleza, cómo gobernamos la sociedad, cómo conceptualizamos la vida económica, cómo educamos a nuestros hijos e incluso cómo nos orientamos en el tiempo y el espacio. La próxima etapa de la saga humana consiste en rebautizar nuestro mundo como «planeta Aqua» y aprender a readaptarnos a las aguas de la vida.Basada en sólidas investigaciones, esta nueva e importante obra de uno de los intelectuales más destacados de la actualidad pretende redefinir la esencia misma de nuestra existencia en el planeta Aqua.

Basics of CNC Programming

Science & Nature

Before the introduction of automatic machines and automation, industrial manufacturing of machines and their parts for the key industries were made though manually operated machines. Due to this, manufacturers could not make complex profiles or shapes with high accuracy. As a result, the production rate tended to be slow, production costs were very high, rejection rates were high and manufacturers often could not complete tasks on time.Industry was boosted by the introduction of the semi-automatic manufacturing machine, known as the NC machine, which was introduced in the 1950’s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA. After these NC machine started to be used, typical profiles and complex shapes could get produced more readily, which in turn lead to an improved production rate with higher accuracy.Thereafter, in the 1970’s, an even larger revolutionary change was introduced to manufacturing, namely the use of the CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control). Since then, CNC has become the dominant production method in most manufacturing industries, including automotive, aviation, defence, oil and gas, medical, electronics industry, and the optical industry. Basics of CNC Programming describes how to design CNC programs, and what cutting parameters are required to make a good manufacturing program. The authors explain about cutting parameters in CNC machines, such as cutting feed, depth of cut, rpm, cutting speed etc., and they also explain the G codes and M codes which are common to CNC. The skill-set of CNC program writing is covered, as well as how to cut material during different operations like straight turning, step turning, taper turning, drilling, chamfering, radius profile, profile turning etc. In so doing, the authors cover the level of CNC programming from basic to industrial format. Drawings and CNC programs to practice on are also included for the reader.

How to Grow a Human

Science & Nature

The award-winning science writer shares “a winding romp through advances in cell biology [that] pushes readers to ponder the boundaries of life” (Science).In the summer of 2017, scientists removed a tiny piece of flesh from Philip Ball’s arm and turned it into a rudimentary “mini-brain.” The skin cells, removed from his body, did not die but were instead transformed into nerve cells that independently arranged themselves into a dense network and communicated with each other, exchanging the raw signals of thought. This was life—but whose? That disconcerting question is the focus of Philip Ball’s How to Grow a Human.In this mind-bending tour of cutting-edge cell biology, Ball shows how recent innovations could lead to tailor-made replacement organs; new medical advances for repairing damage and assisting conception; and new ways of “growing a human.” Such methods would also create new options for gene editing, with all the attendant moral dilemmas. Ball argues that these advances can never be “just about the science,” because they are already laden with a host of social narratives, preconceptions, and prejudices. But beyond even that, these developments raise provocative questions about identity and self, birth and death, and force us to ask how mutable the human body really is—and what forms it might take in years to come.

The Book of Minds

Science & Nature

Popular science writer Philip Ball explores a range of sciences to map our answers to a huge, philosophically rich question: How do we even begin to think about minds that are not human?Sciences from zoology to astrobiology, computer science to neuroscience, are seeking to understand minds in their own distinct disciplinary realms. Taking a uniquely broad view of minds and where to find them—including in plants, aliens, and God—Philip Ball pulls the pieces together to explore what sorts of minds we might expect to find in the universe. In so doing, he offers for the first time a unified way of thinking about what minds are and what they can do, by locating them in what he calls the “space of possible minds.” By identifying and mapping out properties of mind without prioritizing the human, Ball sheds new light on a host of fascinating questions: What moral rights should we afford animals, and can we understand their thoughts? Should we worry that AI is going to take over society? If there are intelligent aliens out there, how could we communicate with them? Should we? Understanding the space of possible minds also reveals ways of making advances in understanding some of the most challenging questions in contemporary science: What is thought? What is consciousness? And what (if anything) is free will?Informed by conversations with leading researchers, Ball’s brilliant survey of current views about the nature and existence of minds is more mind-expanding than we could imagine. In this fascinating panorama of other minds, we come to better know our own.

Our Posthuman Future

Science & Nature

Is a baby whose personality has been chosen from a gene supermarket still a human? If we choose what we create what happens to morality? Is this the end of human nature? The dramatic advances in DNA technology over the last few years are the stuff of science fiction. It is now not only possible to clone human beings it is happening. For the first time since the creation of the earth four billion years ago, or the emergence of mankind 10 million years ago, people will be able to choose their children's' sex, height, colour, personality traits and intelligence. It will even be possible to create 'superhumans' by mixing human genes with those of other animals for extra strength or longevity. But is this desirable? What are the moral and political consequences? Will it mean anything to talk about 'human nature' any more? Is this the end of human beings? Our Posthuman Future is a passionate analysis of the greatest political and moral problem ever to face the human race.

Physicochemical Treatment Processes

Science & Nature

Many human activities-and industrial production in particular-require enormous quantities of clean water and, at the same time, produce enormous quantities of wastes and pollution that require the development of major physical-chemical technologies, processes whose implementation and costs must be justified by the degree of treatment achieved. In Physicochemical Treatment Processes, Volume 3 of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering, a panel of practicing professional engineers and respected educators critically survey both the principles and practices involved in water pollution control, potable water treatment, water reuse, and sludge treatment. The authors discuss the performance, potential, and limitations of each major physicochemical treatment process in detail-including the physical and chemical theory behind it, the applications, the design procedures, examples, references, and cost data-as a basis for intelligent planning and realization of abatement systems. Among the processes covered are screening, comminution, flow equalization, neutralization, mixing, coagulation, flocculation, chemical precipitation, oxidation, recarbonization, softening, halogenation, and disinfection. Additional chapters discuss ozonation, electrolysis, sedimentation, dissolved air flotation, gravity filtration, granular activated carbon adsorption, and sludge treatment. The emphasis throughout is on developing the necessary engineering from fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Two companion volumes, Air Pollution Control Engineering, Volume 1, and Advanced Air and Noise Pollution Control, Volume 2, survey the basic air pollution control techniques and the use of multiple techniques to deal with air, thermal, and noise pollution. Cutting-edge and highly practical, Physicochemical Treatment Processes, Volume 3 offers educators, students, and practicing engineers a strong grounding in the principles of this critical field, as well as effective methods for developing optimal physical-chemical technologies at costs that are fully justified by the degree of treatment achieved.

The Six

Science & Nature

Przedstawiamy niezwykłą, opartą na faktach historię pierwszych amerykańskich astronautek – sześciu niezwykłych kobiet, które na zawsze zapisały się w dziejach świata. Gdy w latach sześćdziesiątych i siedemdziesiątych XX wieku NASA wysłała astronautów na Księżyc, w grupie tej zabrakło kobiet. Ich nieobecność usprawiedliwiano tym, że do tak trudnego zadania nadają się wyłącznie wojskowi piloci doświadczalni, a więc przedstawiciele społeczności złożonej wyłącznie z mężczyzn.Były to czasy, w których kobiet nie zachęcano do pracy naukowej. Uważano je za zbyt delikatne, jak na wymogi lotu kosmicznego. W końcu jednak NASA zmieniła zdanie i dopuściła do procesu selekcyjnego wszystkich, niezależnie od rasy i płci. Spośród ośmiu tysięcy kandydatów, zgłoszonych w 1977 roku do korpusu astronautów, wybrano elitarną szóstkę – Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Annę Fisher, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid i Rheę Seddon.W The Six uznana dziennikarka Loren Grush ukazuje portrety pełnych pasji, nietuzinkowych kobiet. Wyjaśnia, skąd wzięła ich fascynacja kosmosem i opisuje, w jaki sposób godziły życie prywatne z pracą i jak radziły sobie z trudnymi szkoleniami czy wieloletnimi przygotowaniami do obsługi skomplikowanych urządzeń na orbicie. Wszyscy pamiętają głównie o historycznym pierwszym locie Sally Ride, ale przecież każda z „Szóstki” pozostawiła trwały ślad w historii lotów kosmicznych. Pasja każdej z nich wywarła istotny wpływ na rozwój całego programu kosmicznego, a Judy Resnik poświęciła życie w katastrofie promu kosmicznego Challenger.Loren Grush jest córką dwojga inżynierów NASA, wyrastała więc otoczona ekspertami od rakiet. Aktualnie pracuje dla „Bloomberg News” jako dziennikarka specjalizująca się w tematyce kosmicznej. Wcześniej była starszym redaktorem naukowym w serwisie internetowym „The Verge” poświęconym nowym technologiom i prowadziła program „Space Craft” pokazujący tajniki szkolenia astronautów. Publikowała też w „The New York Times”, „Popular Science” i „Nautiliusie” oraz występowała jako ekspertka w licznych programach telewizyjnych.
