Intraterrestrials
A biologist’s firsthand account of the hunt for life beneath earth’s surface—and how new discoveries are challenging our most basic assumptions about the nature of life on EarthLife thrives in the deepest, darkest recesses of Earth’s crust—from methane seeps in the ocean floor to the highest reaches of Arctic permafrost—and it is unlike anything seen on the surface. Intraterrestrials shares what scientists are learning about these strange types of microbial life—and how research expeditions to some of the most extreme locales on the planet are broadening our understanding of what life is and how its earliest forms may have evolved. Drawing on her experiences and those of her fellow scientists working in challenging and often dangerous conditions, Karen Lloyd takes readers on an adventure from the bottom of the ocean through the jungles of Central America to the high-altitude volcanoes of the Andes. Only discovered in recent decades, “intraterrestrials”—subsurface beings that are truly alien—are demonstrating how life can exist in boiling water, pure acid, and bleach. They enable us to peer back to the very dawn of life on Earth, disclosing deep branches on the tree of life that push the limits of what we thought possible. Some can “breathe” rocks or even electrons. Others may live for hundreds of thousands of years or longer. All of them are living in ways that are totally foreign to us surface dwellers. Blending captivating storytelling with the latest science, Intraterrestrials reveals what microbes in Earth’s deep subsurface biosphere can tell us about the prospects for finding life on other planets—and the future of life on our own.

F1 - A rajtrácson
Tudd meg, miért a Forma–1 a világ legnagyszerűbb csapatsportja ebből a bennfentes és színes beszámolóból, amely felfedi, mi történik valójában a versenypályán és a színfalak mögött – egy könyv a The Athletic vezető F1-es újságírójától, aki már több mint egy évtizede követi nyomon ezt a sportágat világszerte. Az F1 mezőnyét mindössze húsz elitpilóta alkotja, de minden egyes versenyző mögött egy egész seregnyi profi szakember áll, akik megőrülnek ezért a sportágért: statisztikusok és stratégák, mérnökök és szerelők, PR-guruk és partiszervezők, és még sokan mások – mindannyian hónapokat töltenek évente azzal, hogy több ezer kilométert utaznak, versenyről versenyre. Az ő eredményeik (és kudarcaik) talán nem kapnak akkora nyilvánosságot, mint a versenyzőké vagy a csapatfőnököké, de ugyanolyan fontosak: egyetlen rossz helyre kerülő, filléres csavar miatt akár egy 15 millió dolláros autó is elfüstölhet a verseny közben. Az F1 – A rajtrácson című könyvében Luke Smith életre kelti azokat a kulisszák mögötti történeteket, amelyeket sosem látnak a nézők a képernyőkön. Rengeteg helyszínen és eseményen át mutatja be azokat a rendkívüli karaktereket, akik ilyen színessé és izgalmassá teszik ezt a sportot: a bahreini rajtrácstól – ahol izzadság és kipufogógáz keveredik a levegőben – a fényűző monacói luxusjachtpartikon át jutunk el egy legendás melbourne-i pékségig, melynek a croissant-jai csakis a Forma–1 technológiájának köszönhetően léteznek. Mély betekintéssel, szakértelemmel és empátiával ír azokról az érzelmekről és küzdelmekről, amelyek egy ilyen nagy nyomással járó és eredendően veszélyes sport velejárói, valamint azokról az erőfeszítésekről, amelyek a társadalmi osztálykülönbségek „eltüntetése”, a faji sokszínűség, a nemek közötti egyenlőség és a környezeti hatás javítása érdekében történnek. Az eredmény egy minden eddiginél gazdagabb, szélesebb látókörű és befogadóbb kép az F1 világáról – tökéletes olvasmány mind a régi rajongóknak, mindazoknak az újoncoknak, akik a Netflix Hajsza a túlélésért című sorozata óta követik ezt az izgalmas világot.

Narrated by the daughter of one of the team members, Janice Barton, with unprecedented access to the secrets and insights of the first ever woman's team, this is a multi-generational story celebrating the power of a group of women who refused to accept the status quo - revealing how the events of 1971 shaped mother and daughter's lives both personally and professionally. 50 years later, Gail, her mother, and the rest of the team are ready to tell their story and share the legacy of the lost lionesses.
