The Cell The Origin of Life The microscopic cell is Earth’s greatest success story, and the common ancestor we share with all other organisms. Formed over three and a half billion years ago, life exploded from this minuscule powerhouse, first in the sea and then, over millions of years, across the land to create the complex living forms populating the planet today. How has such a minute organism been so powerful? What has enabled it both to create and to break down life on earth over billions of years? And how have cells interacted to create such an extraordinary diversity of life? Here, Dr David Goodsell shines a spotlight on the passage of the cell through time to explore how a myriad of interactions and symbiotic relationships have been the extraordinary catalyst for life.

✱ Shows the interactions from micro to macro levels that spark diversity on earth ✱ Reveals the symbiotic relationships essential to evolution ✱ Stunning microscopy combines with bespoke infographics to explain the relationships underpinning biodiversity

Dr David S. Goodsell is Associate Professor of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology at the Scripps Research Institute in California. He has a PhD from UCLA, and in his current research divides his time between methods in computational biology and science outreach. For the past 20 years he has developed illustrations of the molecular structure of cells, synthesizing scientific results from microscopy, biochemistry, and structural biology. Dr. Goodsell has authored three books, including The Machinery of Life, an illustrated exploration of the molecular structure of cells, and Bionanotechnology: Lessons from Nature.

Viruses are the last frontier of undiscovered life on our planet. The most abundant type of organism on Earth, they infect all types of cellular life, and, as micro-organisms that cause disease in their hosts, they are highly opportunistic and relentlessly efficient. They exist at the vanguard of DNA variance, exhibiting more structural diversity than plants, animals, archaea, or even bacteria. This 21st-century guide offers an engaging introductory section explaining exactly what viruses are and how they operate, followed by individual profiles of one hundred of the world’s most notable examples, each with its own dazzling mugshot. Dr Marilyn Roossinck is Professor of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State University, and the Sir Walter Adjunct Professor at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. She has published a large number of scientific papers, and writes for Nature magazine, Microbiology Today, and other popular science publications.

Toying with Numbers The math of toys & puzzles

Also available:

When we think of a puzzle we imagine something that will entertain us. But beneath the surface of math toys lie processes that have many practical applications in our lives. Sara Santos takes the reader on a journey inside the workings of the world’s most enduring toys. From the geometry of Archimedes’ Stomachion, through the algebra of Peg Solitaire, to the group theory of Rubik’s Cube, she looks at the power and beauty of the math underlying our best-loved puzzles, from the elegantly simple to the fiendishly complex. Dr Sara Santos is director and co-founder of Maths Busking and Intelligent Cabaret. She was recognized with the Seed of Science Communication award in 2011 and a Recognition of Distinction at the Europe-wide EngageU competition in 2012.

The Geometry of Pattern

Spring 2015

The key to the creation of symmetrical design ✱ Reveals the math and method behind pattern construction ✱ Shows and analyzes the elements that underly pattern ✱ Supplies a set of principles to enhance any designer’s toolkit

Pattern and symmetry are key to effective graphic design, but the availability of patterns on the internet means that their construction is in danger of becoming a lost art. The Geometry of Pattern addresses this, breaking down pattern into different categories and exploring the possibilities in each. With a chapter on fractal geometry— until recently not available to designers, plus clear explanations and examples, The Geometry of Pattern will form an essential tool in any designer’s kit. Robert W. Fathauer holds a doctorate in engineering from Cornell University and is a researcher at NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory in Pasadena. That’s just his day job—in addition, he is founder of the “Tessellations” website and business, the American Mathematics Society’s juror for mathematical art, and an expert in fractal geometry.

WHAT IF MONEY GREW ON TREES? Asking the big questions about economics

editor DAvID BOYlE

What if Einstein was Wrong?

What if Money Grew on Trees?

Asking the big questions about physics

Asking the big questions about economics

What if Einstein was Wrong? asks a team of scholars to experiment with scientific speculation. Consider what if ... you had proof of a parallel universe, or if you could be in two places at once—and learn a little more about the shape that science seems likely to take in the future.

What if Money Grew on Trees? challenges a team of scholars to put their minds to 50 speculations on economics. Consider a world where gold is worthless, nobody manufactures anything, and the bulls and bears are locked out of the market.

Brian Clegg, consultant editor, read Natural Sciences, focusing on experimental physics, at Cambridge University. He has written for Nature,The Times and The Wall Street Journal and lectured at Oxford, Cambridge and the Royal Institution.

David Boyle is a fellow of the New Economics Foundation in London and is the author of books including Money Matters and Funny Money. He is a contributor to publications including The Guardian, the New Statesman, and The Tablet. He is also a prolific blogger on the New Economics site.

How to Read London

How to Read Paris

A crash course in London architecture

A crash course in Parisian architecture

Over 2,000 years of settlement give London its unique architectural heritage. Elegant West End squares hallmark the classical townscape that emerged between 1600 and 1830, but medieval, Tudor, and Victorian enclaves make their own design statement, notably in the City and East End. How to Read London reveals how London’s domestic, civic, and commercial landscape has evolved from imperial capital to global city. Peter Wainwright teaches in the Department of Architecture & Spatial Design at the London Metropolitan University. He trained as an architect at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, and has worked in practices in London and Los Angeles.

✱ Appealing, accessible guides to two of the world’s great capitals ✱ Offers expert, informed overviews of the myriad architectural treasures of each city ✱ Picture-led resources for architects, architectural historians— and culture lovers

The world’s most visited city is also one of its most architecturally stimulating. Despite Haussmann’s attempt to reshape the French capital in the mid-19th century, Paris retains many architectural gems that reveal its multi-faceted past. From the neo-classical colonnades of the Panthéon to the steel-and-glass futurism of La Défense, this is the guide to the treasures of Paris that every trottoirtrotter will want as a travel companion. Mireille Martin is an art historian and an expert on Art Nouveau architecture who has lived in Paris for nearly 30 years. She has published two titles and has maintained an online blog on “the city of lights” since 1996.

Atlas of Cities Mapping the origins, development, and impacts of urbanization Urbanization is a global phenomenon, but the way cities are developing, the experience of city life, and the prospects for the future of cities vary greatly from region to region. Atlas of Cities presents a taxonomy of cities that looks at different aspects of their physical, economic, social, and political structure; their interactions with each other and with their hinterlands; the challenges and opportunities that they present; and their future potential. Each chapter explores a distinct type of city, with a core case study supported by secondary examples. Paul Knox is a distinguished Professor and Senior Fellow for International Advancement at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

✱ The past, present, and potential future of cities, explored through maps ✱ 14 key city types reveal different models of development ✱ Studying urban patterns of production, consumption, generation, and decay Specification 280mm x 225mm • 256pp 4x4 • hb • est. 50,000 words 250 pics Rights sold uk | us | anz | canadian

The Atlas of Myth

Spring 2016

Mapping the mythologies of the world ✱ A cartographic approach offers new insights into key myths ✱ Connects maps to myths with graphics and interpretative text ✱ A weblink of interactive photos offers archive recordings of the great myths

Myths connect civilizations with the topography and natural phenomena of their homelands, and offer intriguing traces of historic migration and conquest. What better way to explore the significance of myth, then, than through maps? The Atlas of Myth connects the map to the myth, with chapters organized by geography to explore the connections and to identify the “melting pot” points where myths were plotted, merged, or migrated.

Dr. Michael Witzel is Wales Professor of Sanskrit at Harvard University and President of the International Association for Comparative Mythology (IACM, 2006–). His study of comparative and historical mythology culminated in the publication of The Origins of the World’s Mythologies (OUP, 2012), a grand synthesis of world mythology that has been compared by reviewers to Frazer’s The Golden Bough.

Compost

Published

A family guide to making soil from scraps What happens to the food we don’t eat—all those discarded apple cores and rejected Brussels sprouts? Did you know that there are as many living organisms in a teaspoon of soil as there are people in the world? And that worms are our cool, earthy friends? In Compost, Ben Raskin shares his expert knowledge, answering these questions and many more through a whole heap of fun activities and games. Teach your kids that composting is fun and get your family’s feet firmly on the path to a planet-friendly lifestyle. Ben Raskin is the Head of Horticulture at the Soil Association in the UK, and a father of two. He launched the Soil Association’s flagship Organic Apprenticeship Scheme in 2007. Having caught the gardening bug early, while working on an organic vineyard in northern Italy, he has worked in horticulture for 18 years.

Also available: What is soil?

Complexity of soil

You may think that soil is just the dirt that gets stuck on your shoes when you’ve been outside, but there is a lot more to it than that. Soil is a mixture of different minerals, organic matter, water and air. If it is healthy it will also be bustling with life – some things you can see, like worms, and some that you would need a microscope to see.

Types of soil Soil can be divided into different types, according to its ‘texture’. This describes the size of the mineral particles that the soil is actually made of. The three main types of soil are sand, silt and clay.

You could say that we know more about the moon than we do about what goes on under our feet in the soil. With billions of organisms in every spadeful, we only understand a bit of what is going on at a microscopic level in a healthy living soil. There are tiny tunnels, homes, families of organisms and great clusters of activity.

Think of a big city like London or New York, and everything that happens there every day. People eat, talk, fight, laugh, cry… Shrink all of that down so that it fits into a bucket and you can start to picture what is happening down there in the soil.

Most soils are a mixture of these types, and there is a complicated way that soil scientists work out exactly what kind of soil you have, depending on the amount of each one.

Toot toot! We have places to be and compost to make!

✻

Sand has the biggest mineral particles, which measure between 0.05mm and 2mm – that is really, really small, but the other two types are even smaller!

CLAY ✻

Silt particles measure a tiny 0.002mm to 0.05mm and would only just be visible if you had one on your finger.

Out of the way, burrow hog!

✻

Clay particles are the smallest of all, and you’d need a microscope to see them – they are the bits in soil that are smaller than 0.002mm.

Heirloom plants often have a charm lacking in commercially produced varieties. And unless these seeds are grown and saved, they will be not only forgotten, but lost, too. Based on the seed catalogs of Thomas Etty, Heirloom Plants lists exciting cultivars to be grown, along with profiles and cultivation tips. Responsible gardening, certainly—but with more than a hint of romance; who could resist the lure of the splendid Hubbard Green Warty squash, or the Green Zebra tomato? Ray Warner is the dedicated seedsman behind the heirloom seed company Thomas Etty Esq., named for his great great grandfather, who himself dealt in seeds in the 19th century. Lorraine Harrison is a keen practical gardener with a master’s degree in garden history.

Rock‘n’Roll Love Stories looks at 14 of the best, taking us from the 1950s all the way up to the early 2000s. Along the way we see behind the public face of a whole range of relationships, from the straightforwardly romantic to the messily divided, and from the famous (and infamous) to the relatively unknown. All are engaging, full of contemporary detail, and come imbued with the energy and the spirit of the music world over the last half-century. Gill Paul is an author and editor with a specialization in history. She has written over 30 books; most recently published are Love Stories of WWI and Love Stories of WWII (2014), the latest book in this popular series.

Royal Love Stories The tales behind the real-life romances of kings & queens Between the late 18th and the mid-20th centuries, many royal marriages represented the unions of dynasties, with true engagements of the heart notable for their rarity. Yet royal couples could fall in love, and this book is full of surprises, from the passionate letters of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert, to the “undying love” that the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, felt for his Tsarina. Amongst them, too, are less happy loves—of Crown Prince Leopold for his 17-year-old lover, Countess Mary Vetsera, or, in the 1940s, of the Prince of Sweden, refused consent to marry the girl he loved; she only became his princess over 30 years later. Bringing the reader right up to modern times, and touching, absorbing, and tragic by turns, these stories bring the glamor and the contradictions of royalty vividly to life. Gill Paul, author of the Love Stories series, is an author and editor with a specialization in history. She has written over 30 books; her most recent title is World War II Love Stories (2014).

✱ The true stories of royal affairs of the heart over the last two centuries ✱ With the letters, personal accounts, and memorabilia that tell the real tales behind the contemporary headlines ✱ Stories told in the context of a rapidly changing world picture, in which the very nature of royalty itself was to change

The Art & Science of Coffee How to make the perfect cup Caffeine is the most widely consumed mind-altering molecule in the world; we cannot get enough of it, and drinking good coffee is our delivery system. How is it that coffee has such a hold? It’s all in the chemistry; the molecular structure of caffeine and the flavour-making phenols and fats that can be lured out from the bean by roasting, grinding, and brewing. Making good coffee depends on understanding the science: why water has to be at a certain temperature, what method works best with which grind, how roast affects taste, what happens when you add cream, which bean you start out with. The Art & Science of Coffee lays out the scientific principles for the coffee-loving non-scientist; stick to these and you will never drink an ordinary joe again.

✱ A clear and fascinating guide to the chemistry of coffee ✱ Comprehensively covers every coffeemaking method ✱ An invaluable handbook for home baristas and coffee lovers

Joseph Murray Monroe is the nom de caffeine of Dr Murray Maloney, who graduated in chemistry from the University of Melbourne in 2007. As Dr Coffee, he runs informal coffee-tasting sessions by invitation. Outside academia, this will be his first book.

The Art & Science of Tea

Spring 2015

How to make the perfect cup ✱ How to make the perfect cup ✱ Comprehensively covers every tea-making method ✱ An invaluable handbook for the lovers of all things chai

How do you like your tea? An ethereal infusion, the ghost of a scent wafting across your taste buds? Or a mug of traditional brew, so strong that three spoons can stand up in it unaided? We’ve been drinking tea for thousands of years, yet few of us realize that all tea types—from elegant lapsang to pungent pu-erh—come from the same source. How so? It’s all down to science: geography, biology, chemistry, and physics, the application of heat and pressure, and the magic of time and enzymes. Making good tea depends on understanding the leaves in your pot, what water temperature they need and how long they should infuse. The Art & Science of Tea lays out the scientific principles for the tea-loving non-scientist; stick to these and extract the best from every cup you make. Elinor Hartford studied biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, in part inspired by learning about tea from her uncle, a renowned tea blender. Hartford has gone on to become a Certified Tea Taster herself, and with her partner has established her own import business, buying rare teas from all over the world. She also hosts pop-up tea ceremonies in London and the west of England.
