Over a decade ago, as the Human Genome Project completed its mapping of the entire human genome, hopes ran high that we would rapidly be able to use our knowledge of human genes to tackle many inherited diseases, and understand what makes us unique among animals. But things didn't turn out that way.

American taxpayers spend $30 billion annually funding biomedical research, but over half of these studies can't be replicated due to poor experimental design, improper methods, and sloppy statistics. Bad science doesn't just hold back medical progress, it can sign the equivalent of a death sentence for terminal patients. In Rigor Mortis, Richard Harris explores these urgent issues with vivid anecdotes, personal stories, and interviews with the top biomedical researchers. We need to fix our dysfunctional biomedical system - before it's too late.

Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, and yet they are ubiquitous. Frighteningly enigmatic, these dark giants continue to astound even the scientists who spend their careers studying them. Einstein’s Monsters reveals how our comprehension of black holes is intrinsically linked to how we make sense of the universe and our place within it. From the small questions to the big ones - from the tiniest particles to the nature of space-time itself - black holes might be the key to a deeper understanding of the cosmos.

“数の原子”とも言われる素数は、数学者・科学者を魅了してやまない。 素数とは、１と自分自身の他に約数を持たない数のこと。 この数字は実にミステリアスで、２、３、５、７と現れたかと思えば次は１１。出没が気まぐれなのだ。 人類はこの数の規則性を明らかにするために、途方もない研究の歴史を積み重ねてきた。 なかでも数学史上最大の難題である「リーマン予想」は、素数の出現規則の解明のための最大の鍵。 それがわかれば、この宇宙の構造までも見えてくるという――。 本書では文系にもわかりやすく奥深い素数の世界を解説する。

In an engaging tour of the science and history of cheese, Michael Tunick explores the art of cheese making, the science that lies underneath the deliciousness, and the history behind how humanity came up with one of its most varied and versatile of foods. Dr. Tunick spends his everyday deep within the halls of the science of cheese, as a researcher who creates new dairy products, primarily, cheeses.

Mulheres que voam é uma homenagem a todas as mulheres e, em particular, às aviadoras, que tiveram grande influência na emancipação da mulher numa sociedade repleta de preconceitos contra aquelas que queriam ser mais do que filha, esposa e mãe. A cada capítulo, o ouvinte é apresentado às primeiras aviadoras de dez diferentes países a receber o brevê oficial (a carta de aviação), algumas das quais tiveram importante participação na Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Think you have a good memory? Think again. Memories are our most cherished possessions. We rely on them every day of our lives. They make us who we are. And yet the truth is they are far from being the accurate records of the past we like to think they are. True, we can all admit to having suffered occasional memory lapses, such as entering a room and immediately forgetting why or suddenly being unable to recall the name of someone we've met dozens of times. But what if we have the potential for more profound errors of memory?

Elaine Sciolino came to Paris as a young foreign correspondent and was seduced by a river. In The Seine, she tells the story of that river from its source on a remote plateau of Burgundy to the wide estuary where its waters meet the sea, and the cities, tributaries, islands, ports, and bridges in between.

Fin dagli esordi dell'umanità la volta stellata è sempre stata la culla di dèi e cosmogonie, racconti per esorcizzare il mistero della vita e della morte. Nel contempo, in ogni civiltà, alla visione religiosa del mondo si sono contrapposte menti curiose che hanno cercato spiegazioni razionali dei fenomeni naturali e celesti.

What happens when a renowned river guide teams up with the CEO of one of the largest - and least Earth-friendly - corporations in the world? Nothing less than a green business revolution reveals Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Edward Humes in his arresting new book. Humes tells the inside story of the little-known and unlikely partnership between former Wal-Mart CEO H. Lee Scott and white water expert-turned Blu Skye sustainability consultant Jib Ellison, and their struggle to redefine what it means to be green in the world of big business.

For the last few years, and especially in 2011, a new extreme weather event seems to pop up each week. Some decide to stick around: Texas and Oklahoma have been suffering from historic droughts for six months, with no sign of relief. No sooner does Hurricane Irene disappear than Tropical Storm Lee appears to flood Louisiana and stir up wildfires in nearby Texas. We seem beset by more, and more extreme, heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, torrential rainstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards than any of us can remember.

In June of 1916, Albert Einstein published his ambitious paper proposing the existence of gravitational waves. In 2016, Einstein's 100-year-old theory was proven correct when scientists detected ripples in the fabric of space. Einstein and Relativity: A Conversation by Paul Rudd and Brian Greene celebrates this achievement, with Greene and Rudd sitting down to talk about string theory, relativity, and the discovery of gravitational waves.

Siamo nel 2083. Anna ha 110 anni, è ancora in gamba, ma inciampa in un tappeto e cade rompendosi il femore; resta distesa ad aspettare e nel giro di una decina di minuti potrà rialzarsi in piedi poiché il femore si è auto-riparato. Come è potuto accadere? Dall'anno 2070 gli ultracentenari assumono nano-particelle autoadesive che vanno a rimpiazzare una parte dei costituenti delle ossa.

Bioclimatiche, ecologiche, a basso consumo energetico: le case sostenibili ottengono il massimo dell'efficienza con il minimo impatto ambientale. Un tema che coinvolge ormai l'intera filiera del settore edilizio, ma anche la politica impegnata a ripensare strategie e incentivi per un'edilizia a impatto zero. Dalle diverse tipologie di edifici "ecologici" al problema della misurazione della sostenibilità energetica e ambientale, fino agli interventi sull'edilizia esistente, uno sguardo globale sul futuro energetico del mondo edilizio.
