Close your eyes and imagine the last moments of a massive star, large as the Solar System. As the mass of its core approaches a fatidic value, the enormous fabric collapses. The star plasma streams like a monstrous wave inward towards the center of the star. In a fraction of a second the core of the star becomes as dense as an atomic nucleus. And then a mighty outward shock wave forms, disrupting the whole structure, the star becoming almost as bright as the whole galaxy. This explosion is a supernova!Chinese observers studied with care these events since ancient times; the observation of these explosions by Tycho Brahe and Kepler was crucial for the adoption of the Copernican system. Do you know that each drop of your blood contains iron atoms produced in these cosmic cataclysms? We are literally star dust, disseminated in the galactic medium by supernovae.This book guides the reader in the discovery of these rare events, the most spectacular that the Universe can offer. Present models reproduce the explosion only with difficulty, as if some details were wrong, or a whole aspect of physics was missing from the equations. Different aspects of these events are illustrated, as well as their historical and scientific importance and their crucial role in the evolution of the galaxy and the living organisms.

Introduction to Remote Sensing and GIS

Humans have always looked up at the sky and wondered. From ancient Babylonians tracking celestial objects on clay tablets to labs probing the subatomic realm, scientific inquiry has been driven by an innately human quest – a desire to understand, quite simply, where we fit in.&nbsp;A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE (and our place in it) tells the story of our search for meaning in a sprawling cosmic ocean. From ancient astrology to the Copernican revolution, from dark matter to our search for life outside of earth, it will take you on a journey through the discoveries that have propelled and continually overturned our understanding of the cosmos, the nature of reality, and ourselves. From a particle physicist at the forefront of cutting-edge research into the building blocks of the universe comes a spectacular celebration of our capacity for wonder. Written with clarity and simplicity, A BRIEF HISTORY tells you everything you need to know about the fundamentals of our universe, and our restless quest to understand our place in it.

Winner of the 2024 National Book Critics Circle Award in Nonfiction • Winner of the 2024 Kirkus Nonfiction Prize • Shortlisted for the 2025 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction • A New York Times Notable Book of 2024 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Stunning…A heart-pounding thriller…Challenger is a remarkable book.” —The Atlantic • “Devastating…A universal story that transcends time.” —The New York Times • “Dramatic…a moving narrative.” —The Wall Street Journal From the New York Times bestselling author of Midnight in Chernobyl comes the definitive, “compelling, and exhaustively researched” (The Washington Post) minute-by-minute account of the Challenger disaster, based on fascinating and new archival research—a riveting history that reads like a thriller. On January 28, 1986, just seventy-three seconds into flight, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Millions of Americans witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Like the assassination of JFK, the Challenger disaster is a defining moment in 20th-century history—one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future. Yet the full story of what happened, and why, has never been told. Based on extensive archival research and metic­ulous, original reporting, Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space follows a handful of central protagonists—including each of the seven members of the doomed crew—through the years leading up to the accident, and offers a detailed account of the tragedy itself and the inves­tigation afterward. It’s a compelling tale of ambition and ingenuity undermined by political cynicism and cost-cutting in the interests of burnishing national prestige; of hubris and heroism; and of an investigation driven by leakers and whistleblowers determined to bring the truth to light. Throughout, there are the ominous warning signs of a tragedy to come, recognized but then ignored, and later hidden from the public. Higginbotham reveals the history of the shuttle program and the lives of men and women whose stories have been overshadowed by the disaster, as well as the designers, engineers, and test pilots who struggled against the odds to get the first shuttle into space. A masterful blend of riveting human drama and fascinating and absorbing science, Challenger identifies a turning point in history—and brings to life an even more complex and astonishing story than we remember.

Jedes Jahr wird die Öffentlichkeit von Berichten über Naturereignisse und deren Folgen für die betroffenen Menschen erschüttert: Der Tsunami am 26. Dezember 2004 ging als eine der größten Naturkatastrophen der Neuzeit in die Geschichte ein, in den nachfolgenden Jahren wurden in mehreren Ländern Europas Jahrhunderthochwasser gemeldet. Und dieser Tage beherrschen Schlagzeilen über das verheerende Erdbeben in Nepal unsere Nachrichten. Diese und weitere Beispiele sind Thema des vorliegenden Lese- und Lehrbuchs. Die Geographie ist durch das Zusammenwirken von physio- und humangeographischen Ansätzen wie keine andere Wissenschaft dazu prädestiniert, die vielfach miteinander verknüpften Problemlagen einer Katastrophe in ihren zahlreichen Facetten und Handlungsdimensionen umfassend zu "begreifen". Wissenschaftler aus beiden Bereichen verknüpfen in diesem Buch die naturwissenschaftlichen Fragen nach den Auslösern von Naturkatastrophen - etwa mit Blick auf geotektonische Vorgänge oder klimatische Prozesse - mit gesellschaftlichen Fragestellungen: Hier geht es um medizinische und soziale Probleme, um die Verwundbarkeit bestimmter Bevölkerungsgruppen und um die Einbettung dieser Aspekte in globale Wirtschaftsverflechtungen. Geographie und Katastrophenforschung gehören zu den wenigen Wissenschaften, welche unterschiedliche Maßstabsebenen von global bis lokal miteinander verknüpfen; sie betrachten damit die globale Umweltsituation und die ökologische Zukunft unseres Planeten ebenso wie lokale Problemstellungen. Das sich neu etablierende Themenfeld der Hazardforschung veranschaulicht, wie aktuelle Ereignisse mit langfristigen Entwicklungen in Beziehung stehen (Stichwort Global Change), und berücksichtigt dabei die Bewältigung ebenso wie auch die Prävention von Katastrophen.

"The engineer known as the "space mechanic" speaks to both our future and past in this breathless memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human innovation-from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories, reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the stars above"--

The Boy Who Reached for the Stars

Nature wants to heal, and we can help. We know that when Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance? As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work individually but how whole complex ecosystems work to regulate themselves. When we set the right conditions for nature to thrive, each species helps to support the life of every other species. This means not just planting trees, but taking into account the fascinating role of fungi and soil bacteria, as well as the free movement of wild animals. By revealing how the feedback loops that generate sustainable ecosystems give rise to the stars, planets, and life; economic inequality and privilege; and the way we see the world, Nature's Echo shows how we can do our part so that nature can begin the vital process of healing itself.
