2D-Nanophotocatalysts for Hydrogen Generation
This book explores 2D nanomaterials in photocatalytic hydrogen generation for clean, sustainable energy. It covers principles, synthesis, and enhancement strategies for materials like graphene and TMDs, while also exploring applications in CO2 reduction and future challenges.
This book generates solutions to radicalism by reexamining human nature through biology and Spinoza’s philosophy. This unique combination creates a “Spinozist” vision, suggesting psycho-sociogenic solutions to mitigate violent radicalism, accessible to experts and non-experts.
A Brief History of Philosophy and Science
This book traces the relationship between science and philosophy from the Ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment. The Age of Technology followed, alienating us from nature and thought. With science now threatening our world, can philosophy help us understand our place in it?
A Chronicle of Mathematical Milestones
From ancient civilizations to modern breakthroughs, this book presents significant dates that shaped mathematics. It offers a glimpse into the remarkable journeys of those who dared to push the boundaries of knowledge, serving as a gateway to the wonders of mathematical thought.
This three-volume manual provides information on 262 species of southern African decapods, providing updates to their taxonomy, and ecological and fisheries information. It is arranged systematically, progressing from the earliest forms to the most derived and advanced forms.

A History of Earth’s Biota
Our understanding of life’s evolution has been transformed. The fossil record now extends an astonishing sevenfold, and new genetic evidence reveals the co-evolution of plants and animals. This book presents the wondrous tale of how all life is linked, from microbes to man.
A History of Magnetism in Human Civilisation
Journey through millennia as humanity unravels the mysteries of magnetism. From mystic reverence to modern science, this book explores history, philosophy, and scientific phenomena with rigour and clarity. A compelling read for academic minds and general readers alike.
This book charts the evolution of physical knowledge from classical antiquity to the 18th century. Based on original sources, it details the rise of the experimental method and the modern approach to physics, with a particular focus on Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton.
This book tells the fascinating story of physics from the 19th to the 20th century. It investigates the contrasting ideas and raging arguments that led to our current understanding of the physical world, from the theory of relativity to quantum mechanics.
Can scientific principles be a priori yet still change? This book argues they can be, proposing a novel concept: a priori revisability. Using case studies from physics and geometry, it reveals a new dynamic of science driven by non-empirical moves.
Computers are supposed to be smart, yet they frustrate us because they don’t fit how people think. They impose a binary, all-or-nothing approach to a world of stories and analogies. This book proposes a solution: redesigning computer technology and its social institutions.
Albert A. Michelson and his Interferometer
This book reveals the astonishing connection between modern science and one instrument: Michelson’s Interferometer. It led to Einstein’s relativity and quantum mechanics, technologies like GPS and MRI, and the recent detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes.
Katsikides provides articles dealing with technology’s role and its social impact within the new information age. He draws together research devoted to key questions examining the relationship between the various new developments of technological systems and their social impact.
This book explores the progress of astronomy and astrophysics in Spain from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The eclipses of 1900 and 1905 were a crucial turning point, connecting Spanish scholars with the international community.
This book shows ball lightning is not electricity, but a bubble of light—a new object whose anomalous behaviour matches the mystery of natural ball lightning. The physical laws ensuring its stability are detailed, based on over 30 published scientific articles.
Beyond Borders
How does scientific knowledge circulate? Is science a national or international endeavour? Challenging the fragmented state of the history of science, this book argues for pluralism and internationalism through a rich diversity of subjects, periods, and geographies.
An adventure into the hidden connections that unite science and the humanities. Discover how mathematics can be a humanistic subject and science a branch of literature, where discoveries can be examined like fairy tales and rigor is a form of aesthetic research.
The importance of overcoming the urgent issues concerning the sustainability of our planet cannot be overstated. The contributions gathered here highlight these pivotal global issues and their potential long-term resolutions from a number of interrelated perspectives.
This book explores the complexity of physical and social systems, covering science policy, networks, and education. It argues that academies uniting top scholars are the best advocates for managing ideas to benefit society, and describes their vital current tasks.
