Book Synopsis Goldilocks and the Water Bears by : Louisa Preston
Download or read book Goldilocks and the Water Bears written by Louisa Preston and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Highly recommended' Financial Times Today we know of only a single planet that hosts life: the Earth. But across a Universe of at least 100 billion possibly habitable worlds, surely our planet isn't the only one that, like the porridge Goldilocks sought, is just right for life? Astrobiologists search the galaxy for conditions that are suitable for life to exist, focusing on similar worlds located at the perfect distance from their Sun, within the aptly named 'Goldilocks Zone'. Such a place might have liquid water on its surface, and may therefore support a thriving biosphere. What might life look like on other worlds? It is possible to make best-guesses using facts rooted in science, and by studying 'extremophiles' – organisms such as the near-indestructible water bears, which can survive in the harshest conditions that Earth, and even space, can offer. Goldilocks and the Water Bears is a tale of the origins and evolution of life, and the quest to find it on other planets, on moons, in other galaxies, and throughout the Universe.

Book excerpt: “Welcome to Kate Gale’s world. There are glass houses, a glass orchestra, sex on the roof. . . . Kate Gale knows her Bible and plays whatever music she wants on that musical instrument—but her música is always fresh, and it achieves wisdom.”—Ilya Kaminsky, author of Dancing in Odessa “The clipped jumpy rhythm of these poems with their sudden bursts of syntax prove repeatedly that Kate Gale possesses a poetic tone and pace all her own. She is also refreshingly out of step with today’s poetry of self-absorption, for she is fascinated less by her ego than by the strange variety of the world around us.”—Billy Collins, former U.S. Poet Laureate
Book Synopsis Exoplanets by : Karen Latchana Kenney

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the mid-1990s, scientists only guessed that the universe held exoplanets, or planets beyond our solar system. But using advanced physics and powerful telescopes, scientists have since identified more than three thousand exoplanets. This work has revealed fascinating worlds, including a planet that oozes lavalike fluids and a planet that glows bright pink. Even more fascinating, scientists think that some exoplanets might contain life. Many orbit in the Goldilocks zone, the region around a star that's not too hot or too cold for liquid water, a key ingredient for life. This book examines exoplanets, the possibilities for life beyond Earth, and the cutting-edge technologies scientists use to learn about distant worlds.

Download or read book Alien Oceans written by Kevin Hand and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside the epic quest to find life on the water-rich moons at the outer reaches of the solar system Where is the best place to find life beyond Earth? We often look to Mars as the most promising site in our solar system, but recent scientific missions have revealed that some of the most habitable real estate may actually lie farther away. Beneath the frozen crusts of several of the small, ice-covered moons of Jupiter and Saturn lurk vast oceans that may have existed for as long as Earth, and together may contain more than fifty times its total volume of liquid water. Could there be organisms living in their depths? Alien Oceans reveals the science behind the thrilling quest to find out. Kevin Peter Hand is one of today's leading NASA scientists, and his pioneering research has taken him on expeditions around the world. In this captivating account of scientific discovery, he brings together insights from planetary science, biology, and the adventures of scientists like himself to explain how we know that oceans exist within moons of the outer solar system, like Europa, Titan, and Enceladus. He shows how the exploration of Earth's oceans is informing our understanding of the potential habitability of these icy moons, and draws lessons from what we have learned about the origins of life on our own planet to consider how life could arise on these distant worlds. Alien Oceans describes what lies ahead in our search for life in our solar system and beyond, setting the stage for the transformative discoveries that may await us.

Book Synopsis The Goldilocks Map: A classroom teacher's quest to evaluate 'brain-based' teaching advice by : Andrew C. Watson
Download or read book The Goldilocks Map: A classroom teacher's quest to evaluate 'brain-based' teaching advice written by Andrew C. Watson and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last 20 years, the cognitive sciences have revealed fresh, surprising, and useful insights into how and why our students learn. Teachers can now draw on psychology and neuroscience research to supplement, reconsider, even overturn our traditions and training. To use this research most wisely, teachers must find our way to an elusive Goldilocks Zone. Instead of resisting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to take it to heart – even when it challenges both our training and conventional wisdom. Instead of accepting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to reject it emphatically – especially the hyped-up edu-fads that exaggerate and misinterpret psychology findings. How can we get this Goldilocks balance “just right”? This book offers a specific, practical quest map to discover just such a balance. By critically examining the source, the research, and ourselves, teachers can develop the skills necessary to be effective research skeptics. Written by a teacher with 18 years in the classroom – and 13 years studying neuroscience and psychology – The Goldilocks Map transforms brain research from a daunting monologue into an approachable, exciting, and lively conversation.

Book Synopsis Finding Goldilocks by : Jeremy Shapiro
Download or read book Finding Goldilocks written by Jeremy Shapiro and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most human issues have two sides, with many shades of gray in between. As examples, think of closeness in relationships versus independent self-sufficiency, working for the future versus living in the present, kindness to others versus taking care of ourselves, and so forth. When people fixate on one side of a two-sided issue and move to an extreme, or swing like a pendulum between two poles of these spectrums, their thinking and behavior become unbalanced and ineffective, resulting in frustration, conflict and, sometimes, worse. What does this apply to? A remarkably wide range of issues that occur on different scales, from individual psychology to relationships to politics. On all these levels, black-and-white thinking is a poor guide for living in a world involving many shades of gray. The opposite of polarization is balance. The idea that optimal human functioning involves a moderate balance between two opposite extremes has roots in both ancient philosophy and modern psychology. The search for balanced moderation, with its dialectical capability for integrating opposite forms of truth, has never been more important than in our polarized age. Finding Goldilocks is a pioneering effort to help us understand, envision, and live in that zone. Polarized, black-and-white thinking results in maladaptive extremes of emotion and behavior. This type of thinking is at the root of a wide range of mental health problems, with Borderline Personality Disorder as the most severe example and depression, anxiety, perfectionism, and aggression as more common examples. Black-and-white thinking causes polarization and conflict in many relationships, especially in couples and parent-child relationships. This type of cognition can also be found at the root of the angry, bitter polarization afflicting politics in the United States and many other countries at the present time. The same basic psychological patterns and principles seem to spiral up through a variety of levels, from the micro to the macro. This ebook addresses polarization on all these scales. vIt also brings a wide variety of conceptual tools to bear on these issues. While the central idea can be traced to Aristotle, Buddha, and Confucius, Finding Goldilocks draws on cognitive, clinical, social, and political psychology, neurobiology, cybernetics, and evolutionary theory. The author also draws on his extensive experience as a psychotherapist to illuminate the problem of polarization in its many manifestations. Finding Goldilocks includes careful instruction in procedures that readers can use to analyze and plan solutions for personal problems and difficulties experienced by loved ones. These techniques involve creative use of diagrams, which enable us to use visual reasoning and supplements our usual reliance on words. Most of this material was published previously in an ebook for therapists called Psychotherapeutic Diagrams and is adapted here for non-therapists. Finding Goldilocks is a psychology book designed to help you understand other people, a self-help book designed to help you help yourself, and a proposal for cleansing politics of the shrill half-truths and reciprocal distortions that have crowded out reasonable discussion and debate. There is a deep throughline that links all these purposes of the ebook.
