Earth
"It's impossible to grasp the whole planet or integrate all the descriptions of it. But because we live here, we have to try. This is not just an artistic compulsion or an existential yearning, still less an academic exercise. It's a survival issue. This is the only planet we have. We're stuck here, and we don't own the place-it would be the height of arrogance to assume that we do. We're tenants here, not owners, but we're tenants with hope for a long-term tenancy. We want to extend our lease just as far as we can."-from Earth: A Tenant's Manual In Earth: A Tenant's Manual, the distinguished geologist Frank H. T. Rhodes, President Emeritus of Cornell University, provides a sweeping, accessi...
Pearl on Mount Zion
Understand the Ten Commandments, their summation, and the new commandment of Jesus in plain language! God continues to teach in new ways and often gives several twists to the same words and teachings in order to enable His children understand Him. The Ten Commandments were not intended to punish; they were given to enable the children of God to live a more fruitful life. However, our lack of understanding wrapped the ten precepts of life in complexities that made it difficult for us to thread the path of life. In response, God sent his only begotten son, Jesus, to unwrap their meaning and untangle us from the shackles of the law. Pearl on Mount Zion (PoMZ) unpacks the Ten Commandments, the s...
Discovering Thermodynamics
Introduces thermodynamics, presents a history of the field, and discusses the advances in thermometry.
Global Warming
National Geographic reports that global warming is speeding up at an alarming rate. Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, and arctic ice is melting due to an increased level of greenhouse gases. Scientists predict that the Arctic may have an ice free summer by 2040. This engaging volume dissects the issues surrounding global warming and provides an overview of the topic. Its visually appealing presentation and compelling examples provide context. Readers will be inspired to think critically about global warming and how it impacts their peers and community.
Mathematics and Climate
Mathematics and Climate is a timely textbook aimed at students and researchers in mathematics and statistics who are interested in current issues of climate science, as well as at climate scientists who wish to become familiar with qualitative and quantitative methods of mathematics and statistics. The authors emphasize conceptual models that capture important aspects of Earth's climate system and present the mathematical and statistical techniques that can be applied to their analysis. Topics from climate science include the Earth?s energy balance, temperature distribution, ocean circulation patterns such as El Ni?o?Southern Oscillation, ice caps and glaciation periods, the carbon cycle, an...
Mathematics for the Life Sciences
An accessible undergraduate textbook on the essential math concepts used in the life sciences The life sciences deal with a vast array of problems at different spatial, temporal, and organizational scales. The mathematics necessary to describe, model, and analyze these problems is similarly diverse, incorporating quantitative techniques that are rarely taught in standard undergraduate courses. This textbook provides an accessible introduction to these critical mathematical concepts, linking them to biological observation and theory while also presenting the computational tools needed to address problems not readily investigated using mathematics alone. Proven in the classroom and requiring o...
Is it Hot in Here?
"Is it Hot in Here? should be required reading! This book takes the complicated topic of global warming and breaks it down for the layman. Nathan doesn't stand on a soapbox-he presents a fair and balanced argument for the climate of our world. If you live in a red state or a blue state, if you hug trees or drive a Hummer, this book is for you." -Josh Rubenstein, Meteorologist KCBS/KCAL Los Angeles "Nathan Cool's is perhaps the most thoughtful, comprehensive, well-written and accessible study of global warming I've ever read. If Is it Hot in Here? were being taught in high schools and colleges, we might not be suffering through this problem at all." -Aaron Kenedi, Editor-in-Chief Shift Magazi...
