Book excerpt: A finalist for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award The gripping story of the most important overlooked commodity in the world--sand--and the crucial role it plays in our lives. After water and air, sand is the natural resource that we consume more than any other--even more than oil. Every concrete building and paved road on Earth, every computer screen and silicon chip, is made from sand. From Egypt's pyramids to the Hubble telescope, from the world's tallest skyscraper to the sidewalk below it, from Chartres' stained-glass windows to your iPhone, sand shelters us, empowers us, engages us, and inspires us. It's the ingredient that makes possible our cities, our science, our lives--and our future. And, incredibly, we're running out of it. The World in a Grain is the compelling true story of the hugely important and diminishing natural resource that grows more essential every day, and of the people who mine it, sell it, build with it--and sometimes, even kill for it. It's also a provocative examination of the serious human and environmental costs incurred by our dependence on sand, which has received little public attention. Not all sand is created equal: Some of the easiest sand to get to is the least useful. Award-winning journalist Vince Beiser delves deep into this world, taking readers on a journey across the globe, from the United States to remote corners of India, China, and Dubai to explain why sand is so crucial to modern life. Along the way, readers encounter world-changing innovators, island-building entrepreneurs, desert fighters, and murderous sand pirates. The result is an entertaining and eye-opening work, one that is both unexpected and involving, rippling with fascinating detail and filled with surprising characters.

Book excerpt: Sandscapes: Writing the British Seaside reflects on the unique topography of sand, sandscapes, and the seaside in British culture and beyond. This book brings together creative and critical writings that explore the ways sand speaks to us of holidays and respite, but also of time and mortality, of plenitude and eternity. Drawing together writers from a range of backgrounds, the volume explores the environmental, social, personal, cultural, and political significance of sand and the seaside towns that have built up around it. The contributions take a variety of forms including fiction and nonfiction and cover topics ranging from sand dunes to sand mining, from seaside stories to shoreline architecture, from sand grains to global sand movements, from narratives of the setting up of bed and breakfasts to stories of seaside decline. Often a symbol of aridity, sand is revealed in this book to be an astonishingly fertile site for cultural meaning.

Book excerpt: Nestled on the border with Yemen sits one of Saudi Arabia’s oldest and most unique cultural regions which has persisted for thousands of years. However in the next 20 years an entire culture is in danger of disappearing as globalization takes its hold on the most crucial demographic, the 18–35-year-olds. The last 20 years have already devastated the region with young men leaving their traditional villages in search of jobs and education not available in their hometowns. This book and accompanying film is a journey through several cities of the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia to discover what remains, and what the future holds for the 100-year-old country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The objective of this special-topic volume was to disseminate work on current trends in Explosion, Shock Wave and Hypervelocity Phenomena in Materials. Recent years have witnessed an astonishing growth in research on materials science. Exotic new materials, innovative processing techniques and challenging computational methods make the pursuit of research in this field increasingly interesting and rewarding. Considering as it does, the significance of shock-wave phenomena in the rapidly changing materials-science scene, this collection of papers will undoubtedly foster further advanced research into the allied research areas of explosive, shock-wave and hypervelocity phenomena in materials.The 66 peer-reviewed papers cover topics such as: shock waves, detonation and combustion, materials processing, numerical simulation and high strain-rate phenomena. This volume collects 60 papers from the March 2007 Second International Symposium on Explosion, Shock Wave and Hypervelocity Phenomena in Materials, organized by the Kumamoto University's (Japan) Shock Wave and Condensed Matter Research Center, 21st Century COE Program on Pulsed Power Science, and Faculty of Engineering in cooperation with Japan Explosive Society's Technical Section of Explosion and Impulsive Processing and the Japan Society for Technology of Plasticity's Committee of the High-Energy-Rate Forming. Some examples of topics addressed include development of a large diameter diaphragmless shock tube for gas-dynamic laser studies, behaviors of high explosive near the critical conditions for shock initiation of detonation, dynamic response of a steel pipe to internal blast loading, detonation behaviors of nitromethane with various initiating shock pressure, computational studies of the behavior of cellular structures under impact loading, numerical simulation of underwater explosive compaction process for compaction of tungsten powder, processing of advanced materials using conventional and shock techniques, dependence of blast attenuation on weight of barrier materials, sterilization of dry powdered foods by successive impacts, influence of inert copper and silicon carbide inserts on process of detonation transmission through water, and underwater explosive welding of thin magnesium plate onto metal plates.
