      A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist in Science & Technology In its 4.5 billion-year history, life on Earth has been almost erased at least half a dozen times: shattered by asteroid impacts, entombed in ice, smothered by methane, and torn apart by unfathomably powerful megavolcanoes. And we know that another global disaster is eventually headed our way. Can we survive it? How? In this brilliantly speculative work of popular science, Annalee Newitz, editor of io9.com, explains that although global disaster is all but inevitable, our chances of long-term species survival are better than ever. Scatter, Adapt, and Remember explores how scientific breakthroughs today will help us avoid disasters tomorrow, from simulating tsunamis or studying central Turkey’s ancient underground cities, to cultivating cyanobacteria for “living cities” or designing space elevators to make space colonies cost-effective. Readers of this book will be equipped scientifically, intellectually, and emotionally to face whatever our future holds.

      The Terraformers
    • W Czterech zaginionych miastach Annalee Newitz zabiera czytelników w podróż do historii miejskiego życia. Newitz bada powstanie i upadek czterech starożytnych miast, z których każde stanowiło centrum cywilizacji: neolityczne Çatalhöyük w środkowej Turcji, rzymskie miasteczko Pompeje na południowym wybrzeżu Włoch, średniowieczne megamiasto Angkor w Kambodży i autochtoniczna metropolia Cahokia, która znajdowała się nad rzeką Missisipi. Newitz podróżuje do wszystkich czterech miejsc – i opierając się na najnowocześniejszych badaniach archeologicznych – ujawnia zmiany środowiskowe oraz polityczne zawirowania, które skazały te starożytne osady na upadek. Śledząc wczesny rozwój urbanistyki, Newitz przedstawia nam również anonimowych robotników – niewolników, kobiety, imigrantów – budujących miasta i tworzących pomniki, które przetrwały tysiąclecia. Cztery zaginione miasta to podróż w zapomnianą przeszłość, ale także spojrzenie w przyszłość, w której większość ludzi na Ziemi będzie mieszkać w miastach, może też ujawnić coś z naszego własnego losu.
