All of the Earth's ocean, from the equator to the poles, is a single engine powered by sunlight - a blue machine • Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture • In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean's complex, interlinked system подробнее

Our world is full of patterns. If you pour milk into your tea and give it a stir, you'll see a swirl, a spiral of two fluids, before the two liquids mix completely. The same pattern is found elsewhere too. Look down on the Earth from space, and you'll find similar swirls in the clouds, made where warm air and cold air waltz • In Storm in a Teacup, Helen Czerski links the little things we see every day with the big world we live in. Each chapter begins with something small - popcorn, coffee stains and refrigerator magnets - and uses it to explain some of the most important science and technology of our time • This is physics as the toolbox of science - a toolbox we need in order to make sense of what is around us and arrive at decisions about the future, from medical advances to solving our future energy needs

Penguin Rivers of Power. How a Natural Force Raised Kingdoms, Destroyed Civilizations, and Shapes Our World Smith Laurence C

Rivers, more than any road, technology or political event, have shaped the course of civilization • Rivers have opened frontiers, defined borders, supported trade, generated energy and fed billions. Most of our greatest cities stand on river banks or deltas, and our quest for mastery has spurred staggering advances in engineering, science and law. Rivers and their topographic divides have shaped the territories of nations and the migration of peoples, and yet - as their resources become ever more precious - can foster cooperation even among enemy states. And though they become increasingly domesticated, they remain a formidable global force: these vast arterial powers promote life but are capable of destroying everything in their path • From ancient Egypt to our growing contemporary metropolises, Rivers of Power reveals why rivers matter so profoundly to human civilization, and how they continue to be indispensable to our societies and wellbeing

Picador Coders. Who They Are, What They Think and How They Are Changing Our World Thompson Clive

From revolution on Twitter to romance on Tinder, we live in a world constructed of code - and coders are the ones who built it for us • In Coders, acclaimed tech writer Clive Thompson offers an illuminating reckoning with the most powerful tribe in the world today, computer programmers, asking who they are, how they think, and what should give us pause. Along the way, Thompson ponders the morality and politics of code, including its implications for civic life and the economy, and unpacks the surprising history of the field, beginning with the first coders - brilliant and pioneering women, who were later written out of history. To understand the world today, we need to understand code and its consequences. With Coders, Thompson offers a crucial insight into the heart of the machine

4th Estate The Evolution of Everything. How Small Changes Transform Our World Ridley Matt

‘If there is one dominant myth about the world, one huge mistake we all make … it is that we all go around assuming the world is much more of a planned place than it is.’ • From the industrial revolution and the rise of China, to urbanisation and the birth of bitcoin, Matt Ridley demolishes conventional assumptions that the great events and trends of our day are dictated by those on high. On the contrary, our most important achievements develop from the ground up. In this wide-ranging and erudite book, Matt Ridley brilliantly makes the case for evolution as the force that has shaped much of our culture, our minds, and that even now is shaping our future • As compelling as it is controversial, as authoritative as it is ambitious, Ridley’s deeply thought-provoking book will change the way we think about the world and how it works

Black Swan A Fabulous Creation. How the LP Saved Our Lives Hepworth David

Эра долгоиграющих пластинок началась в 1967 году, когда The Beatles выпустили альбом Sgt Pepper. Они не просто собрали вместе несколько песен. Они выпустили Альбом. И теперь все хотели выпускать Альбомы • Конец этой эпохи наступил лишь пятнадцать лет спустя, когда Майкл Джексон выпустил свой Thriller. К тому моменту благодаря компании Walkman музыку можно было слушать не только дома, но и на улицах. Производителям пластинок пришлось искать новые способы зарабатывать деньги. Музыку начали слушать по-новому. Хоть этот период и был недолгим, за него произошло много больших изменений. Музыканты становились артистами, а мы, люди, их меценатами. Пластинки стали знаком отличия, показателем богатство, инструментом образования, постером со словами, которые никто не осмеливался произносить вслух, способом привлечения противоположного пола и самым желанным на свете предметом
