Book excerpt: Journey into an unseen world—and to the frontiers of human knowledge Welcome to Atom Land, a subatomic realm governed by the laws of particle physics. Here, electromagnetism is a highway system; the strong force, a railway; the weak force, an airline. With award-winning physicist Jon Butterworth as your guide, you’ll set sail from Port Electron in search of strange new terrain—from the Isle of Quarks to the very edge of Antimatter. Journey into an unseen world—and to the frontiers of human knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a compelling account of atomic development over the last century that demonstrates how humans have repeatedly chosen to ignore the associated impacts for the sake of technological, scientific, military, and economic expediency. In 1945, Albert Einstein said, "The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind." This statement seems more valid today than ever. Romancing the Atom: Nuclear Infatuation from the Radium Girls to Fukushima presents compelling moments that clearly depict the folly and shortsightedness of our "atomic mindset" and shed light upon current issues of nuclear power, waste disposal, and weapons development. The book consists of ten nonfiction historical vignettes, including the women radium dial painters of the 1920s, the expulsion of the Bikini Island residents to create a massive "petri dish" for post-World War II bomb and radiation testing, the government-subsidized uranium rush of the 1950s and its effects on Native American communities, and the secret radioactive material development facilities in residential neighborhoods. In addition, the book includes original interviews of prominent historians, writers, and private citizens involved with these poignant stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an invaluable textbook for any introductory survey course on the science and policy of climate change, for both non-science majors and introductory science students. The second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent science from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and many illustrations include new data. The new edition also reflects advances in the political debate over climate change. Unique amongst textbooks on climate change, it combines an introduction to the science with an introduction to economic and policy issues, and is tightly focused on anthropogenic climate change. It contains the necessary quantitative depth for students to properly understand the science of climate change. It supports students in using algebra to understand simple equations and to solve end-of-chapter problems. Supplementary online resources include a complete set of PowerPoint figures for instructors, solutions to exercises, videos of the author's lectures, and additional computer exercises.

Book excerpt: Born from a dying red giant, the atom Fe orbits the early Solar system, trapped aboard an iron-nickel asteroid. Now, after billions of years of waiting, Fe is about to fall to Earth and into the clutches of vicious and clever Homo sapiens. Cloud Atlas meets Forrest Gump meets Albert Einstein in this fast-paced, grippingly brilliant 8-billion-year biography of the universe’s most interesting iron atom. Benjamin Bronte’s brilliant debut novel FE: AN ATOM’S TALE (Elegua Editions, May 28, 2024) is an ingenious telling of humanity’s past, present, and future, all through the quantum-scale perspective of a single atom. Near-indestructible and ineffably magnetic, Fe is a hero like no other. After its flaming, plummeting asteroid slams into the sands of ancient Mesopotamia, Fe finds itself forged into a deadly weapon by powerful princes whose peoples have not yet discovered the secret of iron smelting. Time, gravity, and fundamental forces march ever onwards, leaving unforgettable characters and their deeply-human narratives behind, following the immortal and infinitesimal Fe to its next grand adventure. Thrilling scenes of the Second World War give way to the humorous, and often maddening, complexity of our own overconnected 21st-century world–only for Fe to leave Earth forever, welded into a spaceship, destined to settle other worlds… In FE: AN ATOM’S TALE, the science on every page is meticulously accurate, while its immersive, metaphor-rich writing style ensures that readers remain entertained rather than overwhelmed. Benjamin Bronte’s training as a physicist and educator, paired with relentless research, has produced an unprecedented level of plausibility for a work of science fiction. Readers of FE: AN ATOM’S TALE will learn how magnetic fields work during a shoot-out in a drug lab, and they’ll come to appreciate the role of hemoglobin while enjoying a tribal feast. Following Fe, readers will learn about metallurgy, cosmology, how to break into the Louvre, dive-bombers, fair prices for classic guitars, photosynthesis, and how to accidentally start a religion. Fe may be a single, mindless atom of iron, but what other novel’s main character rides on a meteor, is captured by Nazis, and lives inside a goat? Fe’s may be the smallest story ever told, but no other novel has gone so deep and in such an entertaining manner. Garnering instant praise from fans in early releases, FE: AN ATOM’S TALE is proving to be a remarkably unique, and remarkably entertaining, debut. Written in the spirit of Isaac Asimov and hard science fiction like Steven Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke, FE: AN ATOM’S TALE presents something entirely new: a groundbreaking novel that puts the ‘science’ back in science fiction.
