On her ethnographic journey around the world's oceans and fisheries, she finds that the ocean is being simplified in a food politics that is overwhelmingly land based and preoccupied with buzzwords like "local" and "sustainable."

It was a warm night on April 26th, 1986. Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov, the Chernobyl Reactor 4 plant engineer, called for a safety test. The test was to figure out how to keep the reactor cool until the backup electrical generators could be turned on. Three similar tests had been conducted the year before, but they hadn't managed to produce any results. This test was going to be different.

Dr. Steven R. Gundry, the New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking Plant Paradox series, shares compelling evidence that our gut microbiome is driving our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our mental, emotional, and neuronal health—and shows us how to heal our microbiomes to take back control of our minds.

Come along on an incredible journey where we had no idea where the adventures were. We just let the airplane take us there. The exciting part is, you never know what’s next. As a ferry pilot, you don’t get to choose what airplanes to fly, the destination, or the weather. And you don’t get to choose the life-threatening complications. Sanford has been lucky enough to spend a great deal of his flying career in what we call bush country. The wilderness in the northern region of the United States and Canada is beautiful but non-forgiving. Classroom training is useful, but there is no ...

What are we made up of? What holds material bodies together? Is there a difference between terrestrial matter and celestial matter? When Democritus stated that we are made up of atoms, few people believed him. Not until Galileo and Newton in the seventeenth century did people take the idea seriously, and it was another four hundred years before we could reconstruct the elementary components of matter.

In What's Left, Malcolm Harris cuts through the noise and gets real about our remaining options for saving the world. Just as humans have caused climate change, we hold the power to avert a climate apocalypse, but that will only happen through collective political action. Harris outlines the three strategies—progressive, socialist, and revolutionary—that have any chance of succeeding, while also revealing that none of them can succeed on their own.

This revolutionary resource transforms 110 essential chemistry topics into engaging poems that stick in your mind when it matters most. From atomic structure to clinical applications, these rhythmic verses turn challenging concepts into knowledge that stays with you during exams and lab work.

Dopamine, “the molecule of more,” makes it easy to get stuck in a cycle of never being truly satisfied. It promises happiness, but can never deliver. That part is up to us. A more fulfilling life begins with training your brain to overcome the dopamine chase—and it’s easier than you think.

Sloths are the slowest mammals on earth. They can hardly see. They live in rainforests among jaguars, pumas, and countless other predators. Yet they survive. And they do it by being so incredibly slow, and living a life covered in algae. In this episode, we hang with a sloth in the jungle of Costa Rica as he spends a month digesting one single leaf, and we see the symbiosis and collaboration that surrounds him.

The impact of an asteroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Could another giant cosmic missile soon be heading our way? In Target Earth, acclaimed Dutch astronomy writer Govert Schilling provides a full account of what we know, and need to know, about all the extraterrestrial matter constantly bombarding our planet—from microscopic dust particles and space debris to massive meteorites, comets, and asteroids.

Climbers climb because the mountain is there. In this compelling account, the author undertakes a 3,750-mile journey on a single-cylinder motorcycle for much the same reason. According to the map, the tiny village of Wrigley is there—near the center of Canada’s renowned Northwest Territories. But can he make it there from northwestern Oregon? And can he make it home? North to Wrigley: End of the Summer Road is half travelogue, half repair manual, half endurance test, half autobiography—and perhaps a quarter philosophic dabbling. There might even be a chuckle or two! Though adding up ...

This concise guide on the James Webb Space Telescope describes our most powerful modern space observatory’s place in an exciting new era of astronomy. The Webb telescope is the largest, most technically advanced and most expensive space observatory to date. Development began in 1996 for a launch initially planned for 2007 with a US$500 million budget. Finally launched in December 2021, the telescope was 14 years behind schedule and 20 times over budget. Such was the price of the next major step in astronomy and physics. Written to be accessible to all readers, the book describes Webb’s ...
