Download or read book The Story of Earth written by Robert M. Hazen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed by The New York Times for writing “with wonderful clarity about science . . . that effortlessly teaches as it zips along,” nationally bestselling author Robert M. Hazen offers a radical new approach to Earth history in this intertwined tale of the planet’s living and nonliving spheres. With an astrobiologist’s imagination, a historian’s perspective, and a naturalist’s eye, Hazen calls upon twenty-first-century discoveries that have revolutionized geology and enabled scientists to envision Earth’s many iterations in vivid detail—from the mile-high lava tides of its infancy to the early organisms responsible for more than two-thirds of the mineral varieties beneath our feet. Lucid, controversial, and on the cutting edge of its field, The Story of Earth is popular science of the highest order. "A sweeping rip-roaring yarn of immense scope, from the birth of the elements in the stars to meditations on the future habitability of our world." -Science "A fascinating story." -Bill McKibben
Book Synopsis Oceans: A Very Short Introduction by : Dorrik Stow
Download or read book Oceans: A Very Short Introduction written by Dorrik Stow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of the oceans to life on Earth cannot be overstated. Liquid water covers more than 70% of our planet's surface and, in past geological time, has spread over 85%. Life on Earth began in the oceans over 3.5 billion years ago and remained there for the great majority of that time. Today the seas still provide 99% of habitable living space, the largest repository of biomass, and holds the greatest number of undiscovered species on the planet. Our oceans are vital for the regulation of climate, and with global warming and decreasing land area, they have become increasingly important as the source of food, energy in the form of oil and gas, and for their mineral wealth. Oceans also form a key part of the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements critical to life. Nutrients in upwelling areas are spread by ocean currents, and the plankton of the seas supports a wealth of wildlife. In this Very Short Introduction Dorrik Stow analyses these most important components of our blue planet and considers their relationship with, and exploitation by, humans. He shows how the oceans are an essential resource to our overpopulated world, and discusses why exploration and greater scientific understanding of the oceans, their chemistry, and their mineral wealth are now a high priority. Stow also explores what we know of how oceans originate, and evolve and change; the shape of the seafloor and nature of its cover; the physical processes that stir the waters and mix such a rich chemical broth; and the inseparable link between oceans and climate. As polar ice melts and sea-levels rise, countless millions who have made their homes on low-lying lands close to the sea are threatened. As scientific exploration of the seas gathers pace, the new knowledge gained of the ocean-Earth systems and their interaction with the human environment is vital to our understanding of how we can preserve these ultimately fragile environments. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Book Synopsis Getting in the Way by : Tricia Gates Brown
Download or read book Getting in the Way written by Tricia Gates Brown and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These accounts ring true with an undeniable sincerity and an earnest devotion to being practitioners of peace. CPT challenges all who profess pacifism to 'get in the way' of war-making on a daily basis, forming communities dedicated to the further invention of nonviolence. When we calculate the commitments and the results made apparent in CPT's short history, the greater amazement is that populations continue pouring resources into warfare to resolve disputes."--Kathy Kelly, co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness"These harrowing accounts of nonviolent interposition read like first-century martyrologies. The courage of these Peacemaker Teams is breathtaking, and will serve to challenge others to similar heroism."--Walter Wink, Jesus and Nonviolence"Getting in the Way recounts thrilling stories about one of the most exciting and important recent developments in nonviolent peacemaking. Even tiny numbers of Christian Peacemaker Teams have demonstrated dramatic effectiveness. Think of the impact if the Christian church would train and deploy thousands of courageous peacemakers using the effective strategies of the brave pioneers described in Getting in the Way."--Ron Sider, president, Evangelicals for Social Action"In a world filled with war, violence, and untold suffering, many are seeking hope. Getting in the Way introduces us to courageous women and men who give us hope. The personal stories of these 'ordinary people with big hearts and a passion for justice' touched me deeply. One cannot read this wonderful book and not be inspired to work for a world of peace and nonviolence."--Father Roy Bourgeois, founder, School of the Americas Watch"The work of Christian Peacemaker Teams is at the cutting edge of contemporary Christian witness. These stories--vivid, personal, passionate, authentic--are nothing short of a contemporary gospel, incarnating Jesus's radical way of peace in a world wracked by violence."--William O'Brien, former editor, The Other Side
