  2. This week's #NewBooks at the library: Another three books from our January clearance sale, some of which have been review candidates for some time now.

    - Planet Palm: How Palm Oil Ended Up in Everything – and Endangered the World, a shocking and eye-opening reportage written by Jocelyn C. Zuckerman and published by Hurst Publishers.

    - Making Faces: The Evolutionary Origins of the Human Face, written by Adam S. Wilkins, published by Belknap Press. Not one I was planning to review, but I find it very hard to pass up a bargain on an interesting book on human evolution and physical anthropology.

    - Unfit for Purpose: When Human Evolution Collides with the Modern World, written by Adam Hart, published by Bloomsbury Sigma. One of several books that explores the mismatch between our evolutionary legacy and the modern world we have created for ourselves. I expect them to be amusing reads all!

  14. Vera Chernogorova – Conversations About The Atomic Nucleus (Eureka Series)

    The book discusses issues related to the study of the atomic nucleus and its structure, nuclear forces, and the components of the nucleus. It also describes the achievements of Soviet scientists in the field of nuclear energy.

    About the Author

    After graduating from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at university, Vera Aleksandrovna entered postgraduate studies and later became a research fellow at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in the town of Dubna. For nearly twelve years, she participated in experiments conducted on a particle accelerator — the synchrocyclotron. Vera Aleksandrovna is a co-author of many scientifi c papers on the study of the properties of mu-mesons.

    In recent years, she has published over ten articles in journals such as Znanie — Sila (Knowledge Is Power), Science and Life, Technology for the Youth, and others.

    The topics of these articles include problems in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, astrophysics, controlled thermonuclear fusion, the application of scientific achievements in The human practice, and the future of science. Many of these articles have been reprinted in foreign journals.

    In 1973, our publishing house released her book Mysteries of the Microworld, which discussed some current problems in the physics of elementary particles. Conversations About the Atomic Nucleus is the author’s second book to appear in the Eureka series.

    Illustrations: K. Moshkin
    Translated from the Russian & typeset in LaTeX by Damitr Mazanav

    The Geologic Calendar is a scale in which the geological timespan of the Earth is mapped onto a calendrical year; that is to say, the day one of the Earth took place on a geologic January 1 at precisely midnight, and today's date and time is December 31 at midnight. On this calendar, the inferred appearance of the first living sing...
