Mare Plasticum - The Plastic Sea
This book, written by a multidisciplinary team of authors comprising scientists, artists and communicators, explores one of the most pressing issues of our time – the menace plastics pose to marine environments and organisms. It takes readers on a journey that begins on the beaches of Galicia, where the beach litter formed the starting point for an exhibition that combines art and science to alert the audience to the urgent need for action. The journey culminates with a short “plastic story”, which reveals a disturbing vision of the future significance of plastics for humans, and an example of how comics can deliver information to a younger audience. Along the way there is plenty of fa...
Advances in Cosmology
Cosmology’s journey to the present day has been a long one. This book outlines the latest research on modern cosmology and related topics from world-class experts.

That is partly because it produces spectacular pictures that can be explained (at least in part) and admired, partly because understanding of astronomy usually does not depend upon a knowledge of a complex cl- si?cation system or esoteric terminology, and partly because its extremes in distances and times challenge our imagination and philosophies. Most scientists enjoy sharing with others the discoveries made by th- selves and their colleagues. The primary purpose of scienti?c research is to discover, to learn, and to understand. When we succeed, we enjoy sh- ing that understanding. Education is most pleasurable when o...
Raising Public Awareness of Science and Technology
'Raising Public Awareness' activities were supported within the European Union's Fifth Research Framework Programme to help close the gap between the scientific world and European society. Given the importance of research and innovation in reaching the EU's socio-economic goals, it is essential that the work of scientists is less remote from their fellow citizens. This brochure presents a selection of the projects supported, looking at the different tools and ideas tried and tested, and at their results.
