SUMMARY:Ferris Jabr at Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Ferris Jabr visits Town Hall to explore the question: How much of our own planet do we actually understand? One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists\, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. \n\n\nPurchase tickets here.\n \nIn Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life\, Jabr examines the connections between life and geology through the many ways that living creatures\, including our own species\, have transformed the atmosphere\, oceans\, and continents throughout the planet’s history. Becoming Earth explores ecosystems\, discussing plants\, weather\, animal engineering\, the microscopic and the microbial. Additionally\, Jabr scrutinizes the human impact on Earth\, noting the ways that people have altered existence through fossil fuel consumption\, agriculture\, and pollution. \nDrawing on recent scientific insights\, the book reexamines the ancient idea that Earth itself is alive and investigates how this holistic perspective can help us restore longstanding ecological rhythms and possibly mitigate some of the worst outcomes of the climate crisis. From an experimental nature reserve in remote Siberia\, to the heart of the Amazon rainforest\, to a gold mine-turned-research lab a mile below the Earth’s surface\, Jabr invites readers to journey around the world to better understand our planet and our role in it.\n \nFerris Jabr is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. He has also written for The New Yorker\, Harper’s\, The Atlantic\, National Geographic\, and Scientific American. He is the recipient of a Whiting Foundation Creative Nonfiction Grant and fellowships from UC Berkeley and MIT. His work has been anthologized in several editions of Best American Science and Nature Writing. Ferris Jabr lives in Portland\, Oregon\, with his husband\, Ryan\, their dog\, Jack\, and more plants than they can count.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Jim Al-Khalili The World According to Physics
DESCRIPTION:Honesty and doubt are among the core values of physics—the human quest for ever more foundational principles that accurately explain the natural world we see around us. To shed light on some of the most profound insights revealed by modern physics\, scientific communicator Jim Al-Khalili joins us with observations from his book The World According to Physics. Al-Khalili helps us understand what this crucially important science tells us about the universe and the nature of reality itself by walking us through the core concepts of space\, time\, energy\, and matter. He offers an accessible look at the three pillars of modern physics—quantum theory\, relativity\, and thermodynamics—showing how all three must come together if we are ever to have a full understanding of reality. \nUsing poignant examples and thought-provoking analogies\, Al-Khalili illuminates the physics of the extreme cosmic and quantum scales\, the speculative frontiers of the field\, and the physics that underpins our everyday experiences and technologies. Share in the profound adventure of seeking truth in the world around us as Al-Khalili brings us up to speed with the biggest ideas in this fundamental field of science. \nJim Al-Khalili is professor of physics at the University of Surrey. He is one of Britain’s best-known science communicators and has written numerous books\, including Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed; The House of Wisdom: How Arabic Science Saved Ancient Knowledge and Gave Us the Renaissance; and Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology.rum
