Author: Karen Homer

MELTDOWN

STORIES OF NUCLEAR DISASTER AND THE HUMAN COST OF GOING CRITICAL

Joel Levy £8.99 978-1-78739-499-5 29 October 2020 129 x 198 mm

320 pages Paperback Science / Nuclear Physics

HBO’s 2019 series Chernobyl highest rated show of all time on IMDB. With climate breakdown in headlines daily, concerns about renewable energy and disasters such as Fukushima are on everyone’s radars.

Public consciousness of control over nuclear power and weapons is heightened as we have arguably entered a new Cold War between three major powers: Russia, the US and China.

Case studies of 14 major incidents unravel the science, politics and cultural significance of nuclear power.

Meltdown investigates and recreates the dramatic events behind the most notorious nuclear accidents in history, as well as those shrouded in secrecy. Combining human tragedy with intriguing science, each account reveals new aspects of humanity’s complex relationship with nuclear power and the ongoing struggle to harness and control it.

From the pioneers of Los Alamos who got up close and personal with the cores of atomic bombs, to the hapless engineers in Soviet fuel-processing plants who unwittingly mixed up a disaster in a bucket, and from the terrifying impact of a tsunami at Fukushima to the mystery of the recent Russian incident, Meltdown explores the past and future of this extraordinary and potentially lethal source of infinite power.

Joel Levy is a writer and journalist specialising in science, nature and technology for younger audiences. His writing explores both mainstream science and weird technology, from chemistry and physics to death-rays and biomimetic robots. After taking degrees in molecular biology and psychology at Warwick and Edinburgh, he has gone on to write books including Really Useful, the science and history of everyday technology; Poison: A Social History, on the science and lore of poisons; Newton’s Notebooks, on the life and discoveries of Isaac Newton; Phobiapedia, an encyclopaedia of the things that scare us most; and A Bee in a Cathedral, exploring analogies and thought experiments in science, nature and technology.

THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE IN 21 STARS (AND THREE IMPOSTORS) Welbeck 978-1-78739-465-0 3 September 2020 198 x 129 mm

320pp, HB Mono halftones & diagrams throughout 80,000 words £12.99

A uniquely accessible approach to astronomy, offering a “biography” of key stars and what they tell us about the universe.

Each of the stars can be seen from Earth. Giles Sparrow offers clear instructions on how it can be observed.

Written in an informal, engaging style, featuring asides on peculiar characters within astronomy, entertaining stories on astronomical dead ends and other curiousities.

Features charming and informative “hand-drawn” graphics and diagrams.

“Watch the stars, and from them learn” - advice from Albert Einstein, a chap who knew a thing or two. But where do you even start? Look up on a clear, dark evening and you’ll be confronted by thousands of stars, scattered apparently at random. Okay, you can always learn the patterns of the constellations and even the names of individual stars, but what does that tell you about the Universe itself? If only there was some way of focusing on the important ones…

The cosmos is a big place, with even the closest stars so far away that the idea of visiting them is a distant dream. But by studying the weak rays of starlight that make it to Earth, astronomers can build up a surprisingly complete picture of the way the universe works. And fortunately, a small handful of stars just love to hog the limelight. Either by virtue of their proximity, their brightness, or their odd behaviour, they have drawn astronomers’ attention again and again, providing key evidence for our understanding of the heavens.

The History of the Universe in 21 Stars provides a key to the cosmos for the curious, the busy and the bewildered. It offers a complete introduction to the heavens through the tales of these celestial superstars and tells the intriguing, inspiring and sometimes just plain odd story of how stargazers unravelled the mysteries of the universe.

Giles Sparrow studied Astronomy at University College London.

He is the author of over 20 books on popular science for both adults and children. He lives in East London.

Procedural police and crime series such as CSI: Miami/Las Vegas/ NY/Cyber; Law and Order: SVU; Criminal Minds; and NCIS have been among the highest rated and most popular TV shows internationally for decades.

The next book in Welbeck's successful Solve-it-Yourself Mysteries and pop-culture puzzle series, it includes 100 narrative and classic puzzles inspired by all things forensic science.

An investigative narrative is weaved through over 100 puzzles, from word searches and anagrams to logical thinking and longer stories where you’ll need to read between the lines and gather any clues, evidence and discrepancies to solve a series of cases.
