Showing results for "Frontier" in Science & Engineering

Brought to you by Penguin. In very recent times humanity has learnt a vast amount about the universe, the past, and itself. But through our remarkable successes in acquiring knowledge we have learned how much we have yet to learn: the science we have, for example, addresses just 5% of the...

Understanding our humanity - the essence of who we are - is one of the deepest mysteries and biggest challenges in modern science. Why do we have bad moods? Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

Triumphs and disasters in the deep sea This is a journey through time and water, to the bottom of the ocean and the future of our planet. We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a...

Fight for the Final Frontier uses the concepts associated with irregular warfare to offer new insights for understanding the nature of strategic competition in space. Today's most pressing security concerns are best considered using an irregular warfare lens because incidents and points of potential conflict fall outside the definition of armed conflict. While some universal rules of combat apply across all domains, conflict in space up-ends those assumed standards of understanding.

A podcast series examining innovation at the intersection of science, technology, and media. Season 1 explores AI as a 'reader' of content, and how this fundamental shift is changing the way we access, interpret, and share information. Hosted by Jessica Miles, each episode looks at the philosophical considerations and practical consequences of this disruption, focusing on scientific and scholarly content.

If humans and their private wealth have made such a mess of Earth, who can say we won’t do the same in space? In The Consequential Frontier, business and technology journalist Peter Ward is raising this vital question before it’s too late. Interviewing tech CEOs, inventors, scientists, lobbyists, politicians, and future civilian astronauts, Ward sheds light on a whole industry beyond headline-grabbing rocket billionaires like Bezos and Musk and introduces the new generation of activists trying to keep it from rushing recklessly into the cosmos.

In 1977 a group of scientists, artists and writers gathered in a house in Ithaca, New York to work on the most important mixtape ever conceived. It wasn’t from one person to another - it was from Earth to the cosmos. When NASA sent Voyagers 1 and 2 on a grand tour of the outer planets, they knew the ultimate fate of these plucky probes would be to drift forever in the unimaginable void of interstellar space.

Il mito del pianeta rosso resiste nel nostro immaginario, nonostante innumerevoli missioni d'esplorazione abbiano svelato ormai molti dei suoi segreti. È "l'altro pianeta" dove, da anni, le agenzie spaziali di tutto il mondo vanno alla ricerca di vita extraterrestre; è anche l'unico luogo dove possiamo sperare di insediare una colonia umana. L'audiolibro racconta tutto quello che c'è da sapere su Marte, dalla sua conformazione alle ipotesi di abitabilità, fino alle ultime conquiste del Rover Curiosity, che vi è atterrato nel 2012.

Together, we explore the history of space exploration, highlighting the people who made it happen and the incredible stories that unfolded as humanity took its first steps into the cosmos.

Frederick Jackson Turner stands out as one of the most influential historians in the United States, renowned for his groundbreaking frontier thesis. This compelling theory posits that American democracy was significantly shaped by the presence of an undeveloped frontier from the nations founding until the 1880s. Turner introduced his ideas in the seminal essay The Significance of the Frontier in American History, published just three years after the frontier was officially closed in 1890. He continued to expand upon the frontier thesis, exploring themes such as sectionalism and the Midwests ...
