Originally published in Dutch in 2022 under the title: Doelwit aarde

An acclaimed science writer tells the story of cosmic projectiles that may be on a collision course with our Earth. 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. Drawing on the latest scientific discoveries, Schilling explores virtually every aspect of cosmic impacts—from small meteorites to devastating collisions, from the craters that mark our planet’s surface to the impacts that left their mark on other celestial bodies, and from searches for near-miss lumps of rock to ways of protecting humanity from an assault from the cosmos. Along the way, he considers near misses in the past and the possibility of others in the future and ponders the positive side of these visitations from space: If our planet had not been the target of cosmic rubble from its very formation, life on Earth would likely never have gotten started.

"A novel epistemology of science contends that good science need not attain its aims, but it must justify its claims. In Heart of Science, philosopher Jacob Stegenga breaks with the most dominant epistemologies of science to argue that in judging scientific activity, we should focus on its justification, not the achievement of truth or knowledge. Yet, Stegenga argues, the aim of science goes far beyond justification and is, instead, a special kind of truth-common knowledge, a broadly shared and mutually justified scientific finding. Drawing on both historical examples and recent events like the COVID-19 pandemic, Stegenga outlines his approach before delving into its implications for scientific evaluation, testimony, values, progress, and credit, as well as the nature of science during times of crisis. Truth, he shows, may not be easily identified in the short term. However, an evaluation of scientific justification, grounded in shared standards, is possible. This framework helps us appraise-and appreciate-historical theories that ultimately weren't accurate and offers fresh insights about appropriate science communication and public trust in scientific research. Justification and scientific rigor are not just means to an end, Stegenga writes, but the very heart of good science. Ambitious, authoritative, and accessible, Heart of Science offers a new vision for the philosophy of science"--

Enables readers to develop a practical understanding of food virology and its challenges Introduction to Food Virology presents a clear overview of the main principles and features of the field and provides information on many major foodborne viruses. Each virus is outlined with simple descriptions of its structure, morphology, and genomic identity, with information on how it is transmitted, what disease symptoms it can cause, and methods for detection and control. Written by a team of highly qualified international authors, Introduction to Food Virology includes information on: Potential emergence of new viral threats, highlighting the ongoing importance of food virologyEnteric viruses, which have been known to cause occasional foodborne outbreaks, and viruses which may have the potential to become foodborneDuration of virus persistence in various foods and on various preparation surfacesHow foodborne viruses may be eliminated or prevented from entering the food chain, with discussion of ongoing challengesInternational standards, with recommendations on how to optimally interpret the results of the current standard method Free of excessive technical detail and written for both specialists and non-specialists alike, Introduction to Food Virology is a valuable resource for food safety managers, regulators, students, food service personnel, and others involved or interested in the microbial safety of the food supply chain and its impact on public health.

This book focuses on the linkages between very high energy (TeV or 1012 electron-volt) gamma-ray astronomy and the interstellar medium (ISM), and the key science questions expected to be answered. Their joint study is essential if we are to understand the nature of gamma-ray emission and hence shed light on where extreme cosmic-rays and electrons are being accelerated in our galaxy. Since TeV neutrinos are also intimately tied to the production of gamma-rays of similar energy, we would also extend our discussion to this field.
