Hot Science

A journey through the history and science of epidemics and pandemics, from AIDS to Zika. Part of Icon's "Hot Science" series.

"An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. Biomimetics literally means emulating biology and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature"--

How Lessons from Nature can Transform Technology

Music is shaped by the science of sound. How can music - an artform - have anything to do with science? Yet there are myriad ways in which the two are intertwined, from the basics of music theory and the design of instruments to hi-fi systems and how the brain processes music. Science writer Andrew May traces the surprising connections between science and music, from the theory of sound waves to the way musicians use mathematical algorithms to create music. The most obvious impact of science on music can be seen in the way electronic technology has revolutionised how we create, record and listen to music. Technology has also provided new insights into the effects that different music has on the brain, to the extent that some algorithms can now predict our reactions with uncanny accuracy, which raises a worrying question: how long will it be before AI can create music on a par with humans?

"Even before Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, private companies were exploiting space via communication satellites - a sector that is seeing exponential growth in the internet age. In human spaceflight, too, commercialisation is making itself felt. Billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson have long trumpeted plans to make space travel a possibility for ordinary people and those ideas are inching ever closer to reality. At the same time, other companies plan to mine the Moon for helium-3, or asteroids for precious metals. Science writer Andrew May takes an entertaining, in-depth look at the triumphs and heroic failures of our quixotic quest to commercialise the final frontier"--Publisher's description.

Biofeedback and Pain Management: A Clinical Guide is a practical and informative reference to help readers have a better understanding of the psychophysiology of chronic pain, biofeedback treatments, realities of living life with chronic limitations related to pain, and the role of pain in our lives and society. The book aims to organize available evidence on effective uses of biofeedback interventions for pain management, including protocols, as well as case-based examples and strategies that practitioners can refer to in real-life settings. Biofeedback and Pain Management is organized into three sections. In the first section, "Psychophysiology of Pain," a clear treatment rationale for the use of biofeedback is illustrated, including patient-friendly language about what is biofeedback and illustrations depicting how biofeedback is a useful part of any pain management treatment plan. In the next section, "Biofeedback Protocols," procedures are detailed based on evidence as well as case-based examples. This section is the heart of the book and offers essential strategies that readers can refer to on an as-needed basis. The final section, "Community Pain," explores the larger social context of chronic pain, the toll it has on public health and the ongoing role of healthcare providers who witness pain-related suffering.

A goal of macroevolutionary theory is to explain both diversity and disparity - different sometimes uncorrelated characteristics of lineages. These actively researched questions, the growing number of case studies, and the increasingly rigorous theory, has resulted in the re-examination of classical models for evolutionary tempo and mode. Time-calibrated molecular phylogenies are now used in conjunction with quantitative analyses of morphology to evaluate models of evolution. For example, mathematically simple efforts to understand biologically complex traits (such as body size) are common. The major objective of the proposed work is to present novel methods and case-studies of the tempo and mode of evolution of complex morphologies. Recent innovations in methods for describing and modeling complex morphologies, which have the potential to advance the field still further, will be the primary focus of this intended volume.

Macroevolution of Complex Morphologies

Glial Mechanisms in Sleep and Circadian Biology presents a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the role of glial cells in numerous, often unexpected, aspects of sleep. It seamlessly links glial cell activity to the multi-system processes that affect sleep. Experts in the field discuss how glial cells influence the sleep-wake cycle, the accumulation and discharge of sleep drive, the timing of sleep and wake across the 24-hour day, and how glial cells may govern important sleep functions (e.g., brain plasticity and metabolism). This is a book that could well change scientists’ and practitioners’ traditional beliefs about the factors underlying sleep. Users will find the book's content at the forefront of one of the hottest topics in basic sleep research. Over the last decade, scientists have made breakthrough discoveries revealing that sleep is not only a product of neurons, but of neuronal-glial interactions.

The deep sea is one of humanity's last frontiers. For most of our history it has been a remote realm, invoking awe and terror as it lays shrouded in darkness. But here, where the light cannot reach, lies a strange, wonderful and breath-taking portal into Earth's past, teeming with scientific marvels and lessons for the future of life on this planet. In The Dark Frontier, marine microbiologist and expert deep-sea explorer Jeffrey Marlow plunges us into the unreachable realm and invites us into close-up encounters with its hidden brilliance. There are translucent shrimp that dance through sulfurous vents, crabs that stretch twelve feet from claw to claw and the eerie chalk-white towers of the 'Lost City'. Immersive and illuminating, Marlow's journeys heed warnings too: our reach is exceeding our grasp. We are irrevocably changing the deep sea before we even know it. This expansive book offers crucial and surprising insights into the birthplace of life on ancient Earth. It shows how life can thrive in even the most extreme conditions and expands our understanding of possibilities - and our responsibilities - on earth and beyond.

This book succinctly reviews phylogenetic debates for fishes by considering the historical background, summarizing the controversies, sorting through and evaluating competing modern phylogenetic proposals, and synthesizing the results for each major fish group. It evaluates the leading hypotheses in terms of their significance and their implications for the comparative biology of fishes. It asks whether phylogeny makes sense and examines its ability to explain the known facts about a group of fishes.

From a New York Times bestselling nature writer comes a celebration of what goes on outside in the dark, from blooming moon gardens to nocturnal salamanders, from glowing foxfire and synchronous fireflies that blink in unison like an orchestra of light. In this glorious celebration of the night, New York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes, step outside, and embrace the dark as a profoundly beautiful part of the world we inhabit. Because no matter where we live, we are surrounded by animals that rise with the moon, and blooms that reveal themselves as light fades. Henion explores her home region of Appalachia, where she attends a synchronous firefly event in Tennessee, a bat outing in Alabama, and a moth festival in Ohio. In North Carolina, she finds forests alight with bioluminescent mushrooms, neighborhood trees full of screech owls, and valleys teeming with migratory salamanders. Along the way, Henion encounters naturalists, biologists, primitive-skills experts, and others who've dedicated their lives to cultivating relationships with darkness. Every page of this lyrical book feels like an opportunity to ask: How did I not know about this before? For example, we learn that it can take hours, not minutes, for human eyes to reach full night vision capacity. And that there are thousands of firefly species on earth, many with flash patterns as unique as fingerprints. In an age of increasing artificial light, Night Magic focuses on the amazing biodiversity that still surrounds us after sunset. We do not need to stargaze into the distant cosmos or dive into the depths of oceans to find awe in the dark. There are dazzling wonders in our own backyards. And readers of World of Wonders, Entangled Life, and The Hidden Life of Trees will discover joy in Night Magic.
