Mark Denny Book order

This is a book about rocket science: what it is and what it does. Neither a pure textbook nor a populist space travel tome, the book will educate, inform and above all entertain anyone intrigued by rocket science.

In his bright, lively voice, Denny envisions a future that balances reaction and reason, one in which humanity emerges bloody but unbowed-and in which those of us who are prepared can make the most of the Anthropocene.

The book is perfect for any individual who wants textbook science delivered in a format that is easily digested and exciting to read. Making Sense of Weather and Climate fills a niche not only between popular and college-level science, but between also the too-often separated topics of weather and climate change. Frequently presented as separate issues, Denny makes clear that the two are in fact very linked. - Scott Mandia, Suffolk County Community College

Focusing on the intersection of fluid dynamics and biology, this text equips readers with essential tools to analyze the biological impacts of ocean waves. The author emphasizes the extreme hydrodynamic forces at wave-swept coasts and their effects on local organisms. Despite the challenges posed by these environments, such as coral reefs and rocky shores, they are rich in biodiversity and have been pivotal for research in community structure and population dynamics. Denny presents complex concepts in an accessible manner, bridging gaps between biology and mechanics.

Exploring the evolution of power generation, this book delves into its significance, particularly since the Industrial Revolution. It uncovers the complexities and innovations behind creating sustained energy, highlighting the transformation in human needs and technological advancements that have shaped modern society.
