Defending Your Castle

Build Catapults, Crossbows, Moats, Bulletproof Shields, and More Defensive Devices to Fend Off the
Invading Hordes
William Gurstelle
Summary
A man's home is his castle, or so the saying goes, but could it withstand an attack by Attila and the Huns,
Ragnar and the Vikings, Alexander and the Greeks, Genghis Khan and the Mongols, or Tamerlane and the Tartars?

shows them how to build an arsenal of ancient artillery and fortifications aimed at withstanding these invading
hordes. Each chapter introduces a new bad actor in the history of warfare, details his conquests, and features
weapons and fortifications to defend against him and his minions. Clear step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and
photographs show how to build a dozen projects, including "Da Vinci's Catapult," "Carpini's Crossbow," a
Chicago Review Press "Crusader-Proof Moat," "Alexander's Tortoise," and the "Cheval-de-frise." With a strong emphasis on safety, the

Projects & Devices to Channel Your Inner Geek
Simon Quellen Field
Summary
Step-by-step instructions to building more than 30 fascinating devices are included in this book for workbench
warriors and grown-up geeks. Detailed illustrations and diagrams explain how to construct a simple radio with a
soldering iron, a few basic circuits, and three shiny pennies. Instructions are included for a rotary steam engine
that requires a candle, a soda can, a length of copper tubing, and just 15 minutes. To use optics to roast a hot
dog, no electricity or stove is required, just a flexible plastic mirror, a wooden box, a little algebra, and a sunny
day. Also included are experiments most science teachers probably never demonstrated, such as magnets that
levitate in midair, metals that melt in hot water, a Van de Graaff generator made from a pair of empty soda cans,
and lasers that transmit radio signals. Every experiment is followed by an explanation of the applicable physics or
Chicago Review Press chemistry.

Haywired
Pointless (Yet Awesome) Projects for the Electronically Inclined
Mike Rigsby
Summary
Unless you live in a haunted house, the eyes on your paintings probably don't follow you around. However, with
a couple of motion sensors, two motors, a few transistors, resistors, diodes, and wires you can convert a Van
Gogh print into a macabre masterpiece with a mind of its own. Haywired proves that science can inspire odd
contraptions. Create a Mona Lisa that smiles even wider when you approach it. Learn how to build and record a
talking alarm, or craft your own talking greeting card. Construct a no-battery electric car toy that uses a super
capacitor, or a flashlight that can be charged in minutes, then shine for 24 hours. Written for budding electronics
hobbyists, author Mike Rigsby offers helpful hints on soldering, wire wrapping, and multimeter use. Each project is
described in step-by-step detail with photographs and circuit diagrams. Includes Web sites listing suppliers and

Deceived Wisdom
Why What You Thought Was Right Is Wrong
David Bradley
Summary
A skeptic's guide to debunking popular science myths and much "received wisdom" that is just plain wrong
Accessible, clear, and humorous, this book answers questions people have pondered over for a lifetime, such as:
Why did your mother remind you to take off your coat when inside, or you won't "feel the benefit" when you
leave? Why would someone advise that what you need to cool down is a nice cup of tea? And must you really
let red wine breathe first to improve its taste? It also covers why urinating on a jellyfish sting does not help, why
cellphones won't give you cancer, and why recycling aluminum cans is not a waste of time. With clear and witty
writing, this book examines the science behind many popular myths, revealing why many "truths" we think we
know, we don't really know at all.

Legitimizing ESS
Big Science as a Collaboration Across Boundaries
Thomas Kaiserfeld, Tom O'Dell
Summary
"Big Science" is a broad epithet that can be associated with research projects that involve huge budgets, big
facilities, complex instrumentation, years of planning, and large multidisciplinary teams of researchers.
Legitimizing the ESS examines the complexity of the cultural, social, and political processes from which and in
which Big Science develops by focusing on the planning and development of the European Spallation Source,
ESS, that is to be located in Lund in southern Sweden. Together, the chapters represent a variety of
perspectives to highlight the complexity of the processes that are integral to Big Science. Thus, this volume
examines the very different roles Big Science may be given in different contexts: locally, regionally, nationally,
internationally, as well as historically.

Silent Witnesses
The Often Gruesome but Always Fascinating History of Forensic Science
Nigel McCrery
Summary
Crime novelist and former police officer Nigel McCrery provides an account of all the major areas of forensic
science from around the world over the past two centuries. The book weaves dramatic narrative and scientific
principles together in a way that allows readers to figure out crimes along with the experts. Readers are
introduced to such fascinating figures as Dr. Edmond Locard, the "French Sherlock Holmes"; Edward Heinrich,
"Wizard of Berkeley," who is credited with having solved more than 2,000 crimes; and Alphonse Bertillon, the
French scientist whose guiding principle, "no two individuals share the same characteristics," became the core of
criminal identification. Landmark crime investigations examined in depth include a notorious murder involving blood
evidence and defended by F. Lee Bailey, the seminal 1936 murder that demonstrated the usefulness of the
microscope in examining trace evidence, the 1849 murder of a wealthy Boston businessman that demonstrated

The Edge of Science

Mysteries of Mind, Space and Time
Alan Baker
Summary
Combining orthodox mysteries with those of the paranormal, this engrossing compendium of the history of
scientific mysteries and enigmas ranges from the origin of the universe to its ultimate fate
Answering the questions How did the universe begin and how will it end? What happens to us when we die? and
Do intelligent beings exist elsewhere in our galaxy and beyond?, this clear, informative, and entertaining book
presents some of the most intriguing mysteries in the history of science. Some of these enigmas have been
solved through the ingenuity of their investigators; others are so strange as to suggest no easy solution and
have given rise to equally bizarre speculations. From the Tunguska explosion of 1908 to the enigma of the moon's
origin, from the possibility of time travel to the search for zero-point energy, the many theories and speculations
that have been presented to account for the mystery of the world are examined. Each chapter deals with an
enigma that has caused wonder, excitement, or fear to all who have pondered it, and include the discovery of

Einstein
Su vida, sus teorias y su influencia
Paul Parsons, John Gribbin
Summary
Examining the scientist whose space-time theories laid the foundations for modern physics, this biography
portrays Albert Einstein as not only an unparalleled scientific genius, but as a human rights campaigner, a
political activist, and the iconic archetype of the mad professor. This engaging and illuminating book shows
readers why it is that Einstein continues to fascinate scientists and laypeople alike, all in brief bits of text that
keep readers from getting overwhelmed by complicated and advanced scientific explanations. The biography is
structured into three parts-life, theories, and influence-and although the two theories of relativity occupy places
of honor, lesser-known aspects of Einstein's work are not forgotten, such as how his investigations aided in the
Blume invention of lasers, how he patented a unique type of refrigeration, how he proved the existence of atoms, and

From Lysander to Lightning

Teddy Petter, Aircraft Designer
Glyn Davies
Summary
The Lysander, Canberra, Lightning, and Folland Gnat are massive names in the world of aviation, but not so their
designer, "Teddy" Petter. Only three aspects bound together these top-class aircraft: they were each radical, all
successful in Britain and overseas, and were all born of the genius of Teddy Petter. This book tells the story of
Petter's life and family, from his ability to inspire loyalty in his teams, to his tendencies, to his eccentricities,
right down to his retirement to a religious commune in France. Here Davies not only explores his life, but also
expands on the nature of his remarkable aircraft, and why they were so legendary.

Galileo Antichrist
A Biography
Michael White
Summary
A giant of science, Galileo's achievements allow him to be bracketed alongside Newton, Einstein, and Darwin. A
devout Roman Catholic, his genius threw him into conflict with his church and his refusal to back down turned
him into a martyr for many. Both biography and exploration of a time when religious and scientific understanding
had become deeply and dangerously intertwined, Galileo Antichrist traces the path that led to its subject's
denunciation as a heretic-complete with suggestions of conspiracy and cover up. In this unapologetic critique of
religion's influence over the development of science, White draws on evidence discovered in the Vatican archives
to question the accepted reasons for Galileo's trial. In doing so he shows why Galileo became such a contentious
figure-so contentious, in fact, that, centuries later, Pope Benedict XVI felt driven to declare the process against
the father of science as "reasonable and just."

Grafton Elliot Smith, Egyptology & the Diffusion of Culture

A Biographical Perspective
Paul Crook
Summary
A complete biography of Grafton Elliot Smith, this work shows how his ideas were developed in the context of his
life and times, examining the debates they aroused, his attempts to incorporate anthropology within a broader
interdisciplinary school under his leadership in London, and his opposition to Nazi race theory in the 1930s.
Illustration how he rose from a colonial Australian background to dizzying heights in the British scientific
establishment, this biography tells how Smith became a world authority on neuroanatomy and human prehistory
and was best known publicly for his challenging theory of cultural diffusion, crossing the boundaries of
anthropology, archaeology, and history, stemming from his expert knowledge of evolution. This work also details
Smith's ground-breaking dissection of thousands of mummies in Egypt during the great excavations of the 1900s.

How to Think Like Einstein

Daniel Smith
Summary
Learn how Einstein, the man who evolved and altered the scientific landscape forever, viewed the world, and
how his theories and the way he researched changed what we now take for granted
The German theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein, developed the world's most famous equation, E = mc², helped
to establish quantum theory, and published more than 300 scientific papers in his lifetime. He questioned the
accepted classical worldview and tore it apart with his theories of relativity. It is for many reasons that his name
has become synonymous with the word "genius." How to Think Like Einstein reveals just how he accomplished his
achievements with a strong determination, visualized his goals to develop a clear strategy, and viewed each
success as a stepping-stone for his next challenge, never believing his work was complete. Comprehensive yet
accessible, this book will have you thinking like the great man in no time.

The Autobiography of Sir John Houghton
John Houghton
Summary
The life of one of the world's most influential climate-change scientists, and his battle to get the truth heard
Sir John Houghton's life chronicles the history of climate science, and this, his life story, is a wake-up call for
those who care about the weather, the environment, and their impact upon our lives. As progress has been
made in the scientific measuring of climate, a worrying picture has emerged. And as Houghton and others have
sought to make those worries clear, they have discovered that, for some, this is an inconvenient truth.
Houghton says "The warning is now urgent. The science is now robust, time is moving on, and humankind is
responding far too slowly. God has granted us stewardship of this planet. It is a creation full of wonder and we
must do everything in our power to keep it so." Sir John Houghton is still battling to have his voice heard, and

Scientific Lives
John Aubrey, Ruth Scurr
Summary
"The honourable Robert Boyle esq., the son of Richard Boyle, the first Earl of Cork, was born at Lismore in the
county of Cork. He was nursed by an Irish nurse, after the Irish manner, where they put the child in a pendulous
satchel instead of a cradle, with a slit for the child's head to peep out." This new selection from John Aubrey's
enormous work of 17th-century biography, Brief Lives, brings together his writings on contemporary scientists,
explorers and men of innovation, including astronomer Edmund Halley, celebrated mapmaker Wenceslaus Hollar,
and the architects Christopher Wren and Inigo Jones. Simultaneously quirky, amusing, and informative, these
pieces together provide a fascinating portrait of an exciting and inventive age.
Author Bio
Antiquary and biographer John Aubrey (1626-1697) was acquainted with some of the most distinguished men of
his time, and is known for his short, lively biographical pieces.

The Terrestrial Life and Times of Sir Bernard Lovell
John Bromley-Davenport
Summary
An exploration of Lovell's life and achievements in the scientific and political context of the time
The extraordinary life of Bernard Lovell began before World War I and his story encompasses many of the great
events of the last 100 years: World War II, the invention of radio astronomy, the space race, the Moon landings,
the exploration of the solar system, the Cold War, the Cuban missile crisis, and the defense of Britain against
nuclear attack. It can now be revealed that he was also a spy. The great radio telescope which Lovell built
became and remains one of the most important scientific instruments in the world. The Jodrell Bank Observatory
and the Lovell Telescope have held their place at the frontier of research for 55 years. His legacy remains great,
as can be seen from the extensive media coverage and personal tributes that his death in 2012 attracted all

My Life with Stephen
Jane Hawking
Summary
Professor Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous and remarkable scientists of our age and author of the
scientific bestseller A Brief History of Time, which sold more than 25 million copies. In this compelling memoir, his
first wife, Jane Hawking, relates the inside story of their extraordinary marriage. As Stephen's academic renown
soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of motor neurone disease. Jane's candid account of trying to
balance his 24-hour care with the needs of their growing family reveals the inner-strength of the author, while
the self-evident character and achievements of her husband make for an incredible tale presented with
unflinching honesty. Jane's candor is no less evident when the marriage finally ends in a high-profile meltdown,
with Stephen leaving Jane for one of his nurses and Jane marrying an old family friend. In this exceptionally open,

Tobias in Conversation
Genes, Fossils and Anthropology
Philip V. Tobias, Goran Strkalj, Jane Dugard
Summary
Tobias in Conversation invites the reader to embark on a journey beyond time, often far beyond a human lifetime
into the past, a journey through the life and work of Professor Phillip Tobias. It is based on a collection of
interviews with the internationally acclaimed scientist, conducted and recorded over a period of five years.
Tobias is first and foremost a human anatomist, and an important theme is his astonishingly broad-based
approach to the teaching of anatomy. Other interviews range across such topics as research into the physical
anthropology of living peoples; studies of mammalian chromosomes; an invitation from Louis and Mary Leakey to
describe all the hominid fossils they discovered; the identification, description and naming of Homo habilis; re-
opening of the Sterkfontein fossil site in 1966; Tobiass political activism and medical ethics; and his personal
philosophy concerning religion and evolution. To allow the text to convey Tobiass unmistakable eloquence, the
Witwatersrand University editors intervention has been minimal and focused only on enhancing readability and flow. Tobias in Conversat...

The Square Kilometre Array and South Africa's Quest to Hear the Songs of the Stars

Summary
An ambitious scientific project is unfolding in the desert of South Africa, with a multidecade time line that will
eventually see expansion into Western Australia-a project that is detailed and celebrated in this book on the
Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA will be the largest and most sensitive radio telescope, expanding the
capabilities of scientific probing and addressing significant unanswered questions about the universe, such as the
formation of galaxies and the nature of gravity. Technology correspondent Sarah Wild covers the important
development with this exploration of its implications on an international scale as well as its South African
context, from the first telescope built in the country in the 1960s to Xhosa starlore. Interspersed with

Tales from a Travelling Astronomer
Fred Watson
Summary
Everything the amateur astronomer needs to know about the history of the universe, from the transit of Venus
to the Higgs boson, from ancient Peruvian observatories to the world's largest particle accelerator
Many people outside the science world harbor the romantic notion that astronomers spend every night with their
eyes clapped to giant telescopes, looking for things. The most frequent question astronomer Fred Watson is
asked by members of the public is Have you found anything-recently? Sadly, the answer is usually no. That's
because finding new things is only a small part of what astronomers do, compared with investigating things they
already know about. People sense that in this, the biggest of big sciences, there might be answers to some of
the most profound questions that can be asked: questions about the nature of space and time, about our
Allen & Unwin ultimate origins, the meaning of life, and perhaps even spirituality. Nevertheless, astronomy does provide a

The Inside Story of Mankind’s Greatest Adventure

A thrilling and revealing account of one of the defining moments in human history - the 1969 moon landing.
In 1969, people across the globe gathered around television sets to witness one of mankind's most historic

official accounts of the Apollo 11 mission to tell the real, untold story of an event known the world over.
From the fraught and often bitter relationships between the three men destined to make history - hot-headed

Return to the Moon

Rick N. Tumlinson, Erin Medlicott
Summary
In this volume of essays, the top experts and major players behind the United States's recently renewed push to
the moon fuel a growing debate over lunar exploration. The announcement in 2004 that the U.S. would be
revamping its moon program inspired both excitement about the possibilities and concern over cost and safety
issues. This book takes the controversy out of the realm of pure science and into the mainstream of national
debate. Lunar experts Alan Binder, Andy Chaikin, Yoji Kondo, Courtney Stadd, Frank White, and many others
weigh in on the case for a return, point out the best way to do it, and speculate on what could be done with
this newly obtained real estate. The essays are accompanied by illustrations of what life on the moon might look
like. Contributions come from different perspectives and styles, offering a broad take on the very real possibility
that humans will again walk-and work, live, and play-on the lunar landscape. From telescopes and tourism, to
training for Mars, to building a new branch of humanity and saving the Earth, this compendium makes the case

Culinary Reactions
The Everyday Chemistry of Cooking
Simon Quellen Field
A chef is just a scientist in disguise
Summary
When you're cooking, you're a chemist! Every time you follow or modify a recipe, you are experimenting with
acids and bases, emulsions and suspensions, gels and foams. In your kitchen you denature proteins, crystallize
compounds, react enzymes with substrates, and nurture desired microbial life while suppressing harmful bacteria
and fungi. And unlike in a laboratory, you can eat your experiments to verify your hypotheses.

In Culinary Reactions, author Simon Quellen Field turns measuring cups, stovetop burners, and mixing bowls into

Summary
Based on four years of research, this study presents the search for a reasonable and scientific explanation on
how the cosmos works and the role humans play within it. With a process of lateral thinking, this analysis breaks
down the barriers between different disciplines of cosmic thought and presents a "theory of everything" which
reconciles not only cosmology and particle physics, but also the issue of human consciousness.

Planet Earth is presented in a captivating and original perspective in this extraordinary collection of breathtaking
images. Through the use of satellites and various lenses and imagery techniques, previously hidden aspects of
the planet are brought into full view, among them a thread of gold weaving its way through a mountain range;
cities swallowed by shifting sands or dense jungle; and the eye of the fiercest hurricane. Four distinct chapters-
Earth, Water, Air, and Fire-each feature different aspects of the planet, including mountains, forests, deserts
and tundra; rivers, coastlines, and ice fields; storms, cyclones, and atmospheric phenomena such as the aurora
Quercus borealis; and forest fires, volcanoes, and lava fountains. Accompanied by insightful commentary, this compilation

Global Warming and Other Bollocks

The Truth About All Those Science Scare Stories
Stanley Feldman, Professor Vincent Marks
Summary
The idea that we are one step from calamity is as old as history itself. Every step on the road of progress has
been countered by those who think that we should keep to a primitive lifestyle that they claim is compatible with
nature. But despite the fact they've been proved wrong, the pessimists are undeterred by their abysmal record.
Today, industrialization, genetically modified crops, scientific medicine, nuclear power, and the car are held up as
harbingers of doom. Politicians and pressure groups play on this same basic fear. They scare us with tales of an
inevitable global warming catastrophe blamed on CO2 emissions, and they stoke the fires of terror that an
obesity epidemic will kill all our children. But will pesticides kill off life in our oceans, will chemicals in food poison
us all, and invisible rays from power cables and mobiles kill us with cancer?

The Strategic Role of Platinum Group Metals
Summary
South Africa and the Global Hydrogen Economy is the publication of a MISTRA research project on the use of
strategic minerals in the global putative hydrogen economy. The book highlights the global significance of
platinum group metals (PGM) and explores the strategic opportunities that arise out of South Africa's endowment
of these strategic resources. From their extraction to their applications in fuel cells, what options are available
for the country, the region and the world to better leverage this endowment towards supporting growth and
development objectives? In view of their expanding range of applications, do PGM need the hydrogen economy?
Conversely, does the hydrogen economy need PGM? Addressed to all industry stakeholders, including those in
the public and private sectors, the options explored in this book are based on a thorough analysis of the global
dynamics that should inform policy and business models related to PGM.

The Mekong Currency

Lives and Times of a River
Liesbeth Sluiter
Summary
The Mekong Currency; lives and times of a river captures in poignant texts and intimate photo's the life of
South-East Asia's mightiest river. Millions of people in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam enjoy its wealth of
fish, floodwaters and fertile mudplains.
The river and its people are under direct threat. Prestigious dam projects are planned, which will alter the
character of the river, affect the supply of water downstream, and force hundreds of thousands of people to
resettle. The economic benefits of the dam projects are dubious. Controversy on the value of dams rages both in
the North and the South, as the wealth generated by large dams usually flows to urban and industrial elites and
influential landowners, at the expense of rural communities.

Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air

David JC MacKay
Summary
Addressing the sustainable energy crisis in an objective manner, this enlightening book analyzes the relevant
numbers and organizes a plan for change on both a personal level and an international scale-for Europe, the
United States, and the world. In case study format, this informative reference answers questions surrounding
nuclear energy, the potential of sustainable fossil fuels, and the possibilities of sharing renewable power with
foreign countries. While underlining the difficulty of minimizing consumption, the tone remains positive as it
debunks misinformation and clearly explains the calculations of expenditure per person to encourage people to
make individual changes that will benefit the world at large.

The Case for Emergency Action
David Spratt, Philip Sutton
Summary
Revealing extensive scientific evidence that the global warming crisis is far worse than officially indicated, this
meticulously documented call-to-action argues that the planet is almost at the point of no return. From large ice
sheets disintegrating and devastating losses of species to the promise that sea levels will rise more than 16 feet
this century, this study shows that it is no longer a case of how much more can be "safely" emitted but whether
emissions can be stopped completely before the Earth's climate is beyond human restoration. Demonstrating that
these imperatives are incompatible with politics and a "business as usual" attitude, this survey illustrates how the
environment faces a sustainability emergency that urgently requires a clear break from failure-inducing
compromise.

Conservation in a Crowded World

Case Studies from the Asia-Pacific
John Merson, Rosie Cooney, Paul Brown
Summary
In an increasingly crowded world, reconciling environmental "conservation" with the "sustainable use" of natural
resources is a great challenge. Nature conservation has traditionally focused on protecting iconic and important
areas of biodiversity from human exploitation through the establishment of National Parks and World Heritage
Areas. However, while this is essential, a narrow focus on protected area conservation risks overlooking local
needs in areas where people and natural systems must coexist. Combining scholarly research with stories from
real people in the field, this book addresses some key questions for the sustainable use of natural environments,
including What should be conserved and who decides? Are tradeoffs between conservation and development
necessary? and How are those those elusive "win-win" solutions unearthed?

Geopiracy, the New Biomassters and Capturing Climate Genes
Diana Bronson, Hope Shand, Jim Thomas
Summary
Exploiting the general public's growing concerns about the ecological and climate crisis, some corporations are
proposing "quick fixes" that threaten to wreak havoc on our planet. This book exposes how a biomass economy,
based on using gene technologies to reprogram living organisms, will devastate our ecosystems as well as the
human populations of the southern hemisphere by accelerating the wave of land grabs already common in Africa,
Asia, and Latin America. Well-researched and groundbreaking, this analysis explores a number of interrelated
topics vis-à-vis the uses of bio- and nano-technologies.

Energy and Carbon Emissions: The Way We Live Today

Nicola Terry
A straight-talking discussion of what people can do to reduce their carbon footprints
Summary
Offering guidance on calculating individual carbon emissions and determining the impact of the changes that can
be made, this collection of facts and figures about energy use in the United Kingdom emphasizes the
consequences of domestic consumption and personal lifestyle choices. This book avoids political and ethical
discussion and does not have a perfect solution to the energy problem; instead, it provides the information
needed to evaluate not only how to reduce the carbon footprint, but also how to save money by lowering the
cost of energy bills. Straightforward answers are provided to questions such as How much carbon will I save if I

Environmental Research from the Trans-Ellesmere Island Ski Expedition
Robert L. France
Summary
Recalling a time when polar expeditions were equal parts adventure and academic discovery, this book pays
tribute to the 1990 Trans-Ellesmere Island ski expedition, the first human-powered, non-Inuit, lengthwise
crossing of one of the largest islands in the High Arctic. Since the expedition, the observations and
measurements from the trek have produced more than a dozen groundbreaking articles on environmental
contamination, wildlife distribution, and garbage littering. These studies-together with previously unpublished
research findings and with many astounding photographs-are collected under a single cover for the first time.

Hot Talk, Cold Science

Global Warming's Unfinished Debate
S. Fred Singer, Frederick Seitz
Summary
Are the often alarming claims about global warming based on science and justified by the facts? Is the human
race really facing a major crisis due to emissions from fossil fuels? Would the proposed Climate Treaty solve a
real environmental threat or would it create worldwide economic and social harm? S. Fred Singer is a
distinguished astrophysicist who has taken a hard, scientific look at the evidence. In this new book, Dr. Singer
explores the inaccuracies in historical climate data, the limitations of attempting to model climate on computers,
solar variability and its impact on climate, the effects of clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate,
and factors that could mitigate any human impacts on world climate.
Singer's masterful analysis decisively shows that the pessimistic, and often alarming, global warming scenarios
Independent Institute depicted in the media have no scientific basis. In fact, he finds that many aspects of any global warming, such

The Secret Life of Stuff

A Manual for a New Material World
Julie Hill
Summary
Like The Omnivore's Dilemma, this inventory of how we consume stuff is a wake-up call-shocking but inspiring,
facing facts and finding solutions
Taking readers on a journey through everything around us and how we use it, this book uncovers the true origin
and cost of stuff, and, while the inventory will shock, it is the first step toward overcoming waste. Environmental
issues can feel overwhelming-there seem to be endless issues to be educated about, including climate change,
biofuels, nuclear power, landfills, recycling, and non-renewables, but, in fact, it all comes down to one thing-
stuff. How people use the earth's resources-whether a slice of bread or a cargo ship, a cotton shirt or a nuclear
reactor-affects the environment. Over-consumption is not your fault, but it is not something you can ignore
either. Hill shows how politicians, business people, and we, as consumers and citizens, together can create a
Random House UK new, and better, material world.

To Cook a Continent
Destructive Extraction and Climate Crisis in Africa
Nnimmo Bassey
Summary
Arguing that the climate crisis confronting the world today is rooted mainly in the wealthy economies' abuse of
fossil fuels, indigenous forests, and global commercial agriculture, this important book investigates how Africa has
been exploited and how Africans should respond for the good of all. As it examines the oil industry in Africa and
probes the causes of global warming, this record warns of its insidious impacts and explores false solutions.
Demonstrating that the issues around natural resource exploitation, corporate profiteering, and climate change
must be considered together if the planet is to be saved, the book suggests how Africa can overcome the crises
of environment and global warming.

Troubled Waters
The Changing Fortunes of Whales and Dolphins
Sarah Lazarus
Summary
Within the context of the human, social, cultural, and political developments that have shaped the lives of
whales and dolphins, this resource explores how the fate of these creatures has become intertwined with human
history. The story begins more than 1,000 years ago when hunters first took up harpoons and went to sea in
search of the rich rewards of meat, oil, and whalebone, and it continues on a course through the whaling boom
of the 18th and 19th centuries to the current row over Japanese whaling. The tragic implications of commercial
fishing and noise pollution and the controversial keeping of dolphins and whales in captivity are detailed.

Questioning South Africa's Nuclear Direction
David Fig
Summary
Providing rare insights into the history of South Africa's secretive nuclear industry, this book explains how South
Africa turned to the development of a nuclear program and weapons of mass destruction as a result of its
abundance of uranium-a byproduct of its gold mines. South Africa's current plans to revitalize its nuclear industry
are judged against the background of an international nuclear industry that has not been able to solve basic
problems of excessive cost, the threat to human health and safety, and long-term environmental contamination.
An illustrated explanation of basic nuclear concepts and the nuclear fuel chain makes the history and arguments
easy to follow.

Wetlands of Mass Destruction

Ancient Presage for Contemporary Ecocide in Southern Iraq
Robert Lawrence France, Edward L. Ochsenschlager
Summary
This important account investigates the ruin of the Mesopotamian marshes-historically one of the world's most
important wetland environments-along with the decimation of an area inhabited, since the time of the Sumerians,
by thousands of people living on artificial islands of mud and reeds and depending on sustainable fishing and
farming. Located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in southern Iraq, the history of this important
ecological and unique cultural jewel, which was destroyed under Saddam Hussein's reign through a series of
constructed dams and water diversions designed to eradicate the remaining marsh dwellers, is analyzed at
length. Interspersed with ancient Mesopotamian inscriptions and Old Testament quotations, this is a sobering
account of the deliberate destruction of an environment for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

Adaptive Herbivore Ecology

From Resources to Populations in Variable Environments
Norman Owen-Smith
Summary
The adaptation of herbivore behavior to seasonal and geographic variations in vegetation quantity and quality
is inadequately modeled by conventional methods. Norman Owen-Smith innovatively links the principles of
adaptive behavior to their consequences for population dynamics and community ecology, through the
application of a metaphysiological modeling approach. The modeling approach accommodates various sources of
environmental variability, in space and time, in a simple conceptual way and has the potential to be applied to
other consumer-resource systems.

Intersexuality and the Myth of Two Sexes
Gerald N. Callahan
Summary
"On October 10, 1970, the day she was born, she was named Dorothy Maree Alaniz--a baby girl. Curiously,
though, no one filled out a birth certificate that day. When the certificate was finally filed on November 5, the
name on it was Rudolph Andrew Alaniz. Within less than one month after her birth, this girl became a boy."
Every year in the United States, more than two thousand children are born with an intersex condition or disorder
of sex development. What makes someone a boy or a girl? Is it external genitalia, chromosomes, DNA,
environment, or some combination of these factors? Not even doctors or scientists are entirely clear. What is
clear is that sex is not an either-or proposition: not girl/boy, XX/XY, switching between two poles like an on-off
switch on a radio. Rather, sex is like the bass and treble knobs on that radio.

Fallout from Fukushima

Richard Broinowski
Summary
Illuminating and persuasive, this account tells the story of Japan's worst nuclear disaster and the attempts to
suppress, downplay, and obscure its consequences. On a calm afternoon in March 2011, a force-nine earthquake
jolted the Pacific Ocean seabed east of Japan. Forty minutes later, a tsunami 21 meters high crashed onto the
coast of Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate prefectures. Towns collapsed, villages were destroyed, and 16,000 people
were swept away. Combining interviews, research, and analysis, this book reveals the extent of the disaster's
effects, including the ruinous compensation claims faced by electricity supplier TEPCO; the complete shutdown
of Japan's nuclear reactors; and the psychological impact on those who, unable to return to their farms and

A Geographer by Declaration
Selected Writings by George Jobberns
Michael Roche
Summary
A collection of personal papers, some published here for the first time, this study shows the life of George
Jobberns, a founding figure in university geography in New Zealand. After a period of secondary school teaching,
Jobberns studied geology at what is now the University of Canterbury and lectured there throughout the 1930s
in the first independent geography department in New Zealand. At a time when the emphasis for academics was
on teaching rather than research, Jobberns was a pioneer in combining his life in the classroom with publishing,
traveling, and attending international conferences, particularly in the United States.

A fantastic romantic sci-fi thriller for teens featuring virtual reality, simulated environments, and just the right
mix of mystery and first love
He lay on the ground, his eyes open but unseeing, his pinstriped body blinking in and out of existence like the
picture on a fault television.
Alex Thaler can't wait to start her dream work experience placement at Virk, where staff from all over the world
mingle in an astonishing virtual office. But when an employee is found murdered, the dream becomes a
nightmare-because Alex is the prime suspect. Fortunately, Alex's friends are willing to brave shark tanks,
disgusting pathology specimens, and even a nude beach in order to clear her name. Can a hippie chick, a goth
girl in a lab coat, and two guys with a taste for blowing things up really help solve the mystery before Alex
becomes the next victim?

Summary
No SMS, no email, no Facebook: in the digital age, who are you when you're disconnected from your
friends?
In Rick Lawrence's world, everyone is online all the time, immersed in a vast electronic sea of instant
communication. Life is easy when you can do practically everything on one device, and stay in constant contact
with your friends. Dr. Carter Renfrew believes Rick and his friends represent the next step in evolution—the
forerunners of a new species, "Homo electronicus." Communications companies are eager to exploit this new
youth market, and are backing scientific research into the teen brain—but just how far is Renfrew willing to go to
prove his theory? What happens when everyone's connected—and suddenly you're not? If you're no longer
connected, do you even exist? This topical novel explores cyber-bullying, cyber-activism, electronic

Doable Renewables
16 Alternative Energy Projects for Young Scientists
Mike Rigsby
Summary
Humankind needs to find and develop alternative forms of energy. As the world's population continues to grow,
more people will need access to lighting, communication, transit, and computing. Fossil fuels are being used up
at an alarming pace, but other energy sources--solar, wind, waves, "waste" heat, and even human power--are
both renewable and environmentally friendly. The projects in this book will help any budding scientist construct
and explore working models that generate renewable, alternative energy.
In Doable Renewables, readers will learn how to build a Kelvin water drop generator out of six recycled cans and
alligator clip jumpers, a solar-powered seesaw from a large dial thermometer and a magnifying glass, and a
Chicago Review Press windmill from eight yardsticks, PVC pipe, cardboard, and converter generator. Children will investigate the

The Book of Gross, Poisonous, and Downright Icky Plants and Critters
Jeff Day
Summary
You've probably heard the warning about poison ivy: "Leaves of three, leave it be." If only it were that simple!
Do you know that a plant that has been dead for years can still cause a rash, or that if you burn poison ivy you
can get a skin reaction just by walking through the smoke?
And that's just one species to avoid--if you're not careful, you can also run into poison oak, poison sumac,
trumpet creeper, giant hogweed, stinging nettle, and all sorts of cacti. There are also things that can run into
you--critters and creepy crawlies such as velvet ants, killer bees, pit vipers, wasps, scorpions, mosquitoes,
tarantulas, bats, black widow spiders, gila monsters, and more. What's a kid to do?
Doctor Jeff Day offers helpful advice on how to avoid getting stung, bit, poked, jabbed, or poisoned . . . and
what to do if you are. You'll learn about everything from rashes to anaphylaxis, tetanus to spider bites, bee
Chicago Review Press stings to rabies. And though the information he provides is serious, Day's cartoons will have you laughing and

Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis

Projects and Principles for Beginning Geologists
Matthys Levy, Mario Salvadori
Summary
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis don't happen every day, so how can budding scientists study how they
work? Through experiments, models, and demonstrations. This in-depth resource will teach readers how to build
a seismograph to record a simulated earthquake, compare pressure waves and shear waves-the two types of
ground shocks-using a Slinky, and replicate a tsunami's destructive effect on a "coastline" built in a bathtub.
Authors Matthys Levy and Mario Salvadori even discuss issues of modern architecture and civil engineering: how
science can be used to protect buildings and property in earthquake-prone areas.
Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis answers a wide array of questions about these phenomena. Can animals
"predict" earthquakes? How have various cultures explained the movement of the earth throughout history? What
Chicago Review Press is the Richter scale, and what does it tell us about the strength of a quake? And most important, readers will
9781556528019 learn how to earthquake-proof their homes, and how to protect themselves should they experience a tremor.

30+ Amazing Science Projects You Can Build for Less than $1
Curt Gabrielson
Summary
Kids will learn how things they encounter every day operate by building their own models with this hands-on
activity book. Projects include building a working model of the human hand's muscles, bones, and tendons using
drinking straws, tape, and string; using a pair of two-liter bottles and a length of rubber tubing to learn how a
toilet flushes; and discovering how musical instruments make sounds by fashioning a harmonica, saxophone,
drum, flute, or oboe. All devices are designed to use recycled or nearly free materials and common tools. Kids are
encouraged to modify and improve the designs, or create an entirely new device using the concepts explored.
Each project includes materials and tools lists, step-by-step instructions with photographs, a summary of the
science concept demonstrated, and follow-up questions to gauge student understanding for use in the
Chicago Review Press classroom.

Summary
Promoting observation, discovery, and wonder, this take-along nature guide explores an overlooked yet
fascinating environment: the city. Arguing that there is no better-or more convenient-place to find prime
examples of plant and animal adaptations, see the impact of humans on the environment, and understand the
importance of sustainable lifestyles, this book provides activities, artwork, and stories, that explore the world of
nature in human-built surroundings. Sidebars supply definitions and pronunciations of new words and concepts,
important plants of the urban landscape are detailed, and the most famous hawk in North America even makes
an appearance. City dwellers will be astounded by the wealth of nature in their neighborhoods as they explore
the plants and animals right under their noses.

The Big Picture Book of Environments

John Long
Summary
Three sections, Earth Past, Earth Present, and Earth Future, show us how the planet started and how climate
has changed over past millennia, what varied environments have resulted, and how they are affected by the
man-made climate change that we can observe now. The environments range from tropical rainforests to
tundras, deserts to polar regions, abyssal depths to cities, and more. The two final spreads sketch two different
pictures of life in 2080-Earth as it might be if we do nothing to slow climate change, and as it might be if we do
act decisively. Based on the latest scientific articles, and packed with photos of places and animals, clear
explanations of concepts and carefully chosen statistics, this book gives a view of Earth's many environments
through a wide-angle lens. It takes the reader on a magic carpet ride celebrating the richness of life on Earth,

The Changing Countryside

Jorg Muller
Summary
Seven huge, detailed, trifold posters make up this unique depiction of a small village as it changes, over two
decades, from a town to a city. Each painting is executed from the same perspective, allowing viewers to easily
compare and contrast the different buildings, vehicles, and people in the pictures. The large format of each
image immerses viewers in the evolving landscape, serving as a discussion starter about issues from land use to
urban planning. Perfect for teachers, this wordless panorama of a vanishing village will awaken concern and
inspire reflection about how people live on the land.
