Father Nature : The Science of Paternal Potential
How and why human males evolved the capacity to be highly involved caregivers and why some are more involved than others. We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships.But what about fathers? In most mammals, including our closest living primate relatives, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers.How, then, can we explain modern fathers with the capacity to be highly engaged parents?In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans. Paternal caregiving is highly advantageous to children and, by extension, to society at large, yet highly variable both across and within human societies.Rilling considers how to explain this variability, and what social and policy changes might be implemented to increase positive paternal involvement.Along the way, Father Nature also covers the impact fathers have on children s development, the evolution of paternal caregiving, how natural selection adapted male physiology for caregiving, and finally, what lessons an expecting father can take away from the book, as well as what benefits they themselves get from raising children, including increased longevity and 'younger' brains. A beautifully written book by a father himself, Father Nature is a much needed and deeply rewarding look at the science behind 'good' paternal behavior in humans.

Killer Potential
'Compelling, creepy and cool . . . a Thelma & Louise for our times'PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Girl on the Train'Fierce, fun, wild and enraging'CHRIS WHITAKER, author of All The Colours of the Dark'Razor-sharp writing, frenzied pace, twists and turns - prepare for impact!'BONNIE GARMUS, author of Lessons In Chemistry 'Pump this into my veins.A modern day Thelma & Louise for lesbians who make Das Kapital jokes'MADELEINE GRAY, author of Green DotDecisions were made: I made them.Violence was done: I did it. Crime scenes were fled: I fled them. People were hurt: I hurt them. Someone was loved: I loved them. Not everything I did was bad. Just most of it. A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone. But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as a private tutor to the children of Los Angeles's super-rich. Everything changes when Evie arrives at the Victor family's lavish mansion for her weekly lesson to discover, not the bored teenager she excepted, but pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr and Mrs Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from within the walls of the house. Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives. Suddenly at the heart of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie finds that her mysterious companion, who refuses to speak, has quickly become the most important person in her upside-down life.Meanwhile, the press runs wild with Evie's story - anointing her the new Charles Manson, a blood thirsty ninety-nine percenter looking to start a class war. Evie is - finally and disastrously - someone. Droll, dark and deeply insightful, Killer Potential is an edge-of-your-seat break-neck ride, a queer love story, and a darkly funny critique of the horrors of late capitalism and how the stories we're sold about our potential can shape the course of our lives.

Dynamic Testing : The Nature and Measurement of Learning Potential
The goal of this book is to present and evaluate the concept of dynamic testing.Unlike 'static' tests such as the SAT or IQ tests, dynamic testing emphasizes learning potential rather than past learning accomplishments.The book opens with a theoretical framework of abilities as forms of developing expertise.It then continues with an introduction to dynamic testing and then a capsule history of dynamic testing.The book also reviews the approaches of Feuerstein and Budoff and other diverse approaches to dynamic testing.The Drs Sternberg and Grigorenko present their own three-prong approach to dynamic testing along with two case studies using dynamic testing in their own research.The authors conclude that dynamic testing has enormous potential which has not yet been tapped.

What is the difference between equilibrium potential, resting potential, and membrane potential?
Equilibrium potential is the membrane potential at which the net flow of a particular ion across the membrane is zero. Resting potential is the membrane potential of a cell when it is at rest, typically around -70 millivolts in neurons. Membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of a cell, which is maintained by the selective permeability of the cell membrane to different ions. In summary, equilibrium potential is the potential at which there is no net flow of ions, resting potential is the potential of a cell at rest, and membrane potential is the overall potential across the cell membrane.

What is the difference between Scenery and Landscape?
Scenery refers to the overall view or appearance of a place, including natural and man-made elements such as buildings, trees, and water bodies. On the other hand, landscape specifically refers to the natural features of an area, such as mountains, valleys, forests, and rivers. While scenery can encompass both natural and man-made elements, landscape focuses solely on the natural environment.

What is potential energy or gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. It is the energy that an object has because of its height above the ground. The higher an object is lifted, the greater its gravitational potential energy. This energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the object is allowed to fall or move downward.
-
How is the resting potential and membrane potential created?
The resting potential is created by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane. This is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. The membrane potential is created by the separation of charges across the cell membrane, with the inside of the cell being more negatively charged compared to the outside. This is due to the presence of negatively charged proteins inside the cell and the movement of ions across the membrane.

The Nature of Life and Its Potential to Survive
This book looks at the persistence of life and how difficult it would be to annihilate life, especially a species as successful as humanity.The idea that life in general is fragile is challenged by the hardiness of microbes, which shows that astrobiology on exoplanets and other satellites must be robust and plentiful.Microbes have adapted to virtually every niche on the planet, from the deep, hot biosphere, to the frigid heights of the upper troposphere.Life, it seems, is almost indestructible. The chapters in this work examine the various scenarios that might lead to the extermination of life, and why they will almost always fail.Life's highly adaptive nature ensures that it will cling on no matter how difficult the circumstances.Scientists are increasingly probing and questioning life's true limits in, on and above the Earth, and how these limits could be pushed elsewhere in the universe.This investigation puts life in its true astronomical context, with the reader taken on a journey to illustrate life's potential and perseverance.

Potential History : Unlearning Imperialism
In this theoretical tour-de-force, renowned scholar Ariella Aïsha Azoulay calls on us to recognize the imperial foundations of knowledge and to refuse its strictures and its many violences. Azoulay argues that the institutions that make our world, from archives and museums to ideas of sovereignty and human rights to history itself, are all dependent on imperial modes of thinking.Imperialism has segmented populations into differentially governed groups, continually emphasised the possibility of progress while trying to destroy what came before, and voraciously sought out the new by sealing the past away in dusty archival boxes and the glass vitrines of museums. By practising what she calls potential history, Azoulay argues that we can still refuse the imperial violence that shattered communities, lives, and worlds, from native peoples in the Americas to the Congo ruled by Belgium's brutal King Léopold II, from dispossessed Palestinians in 1948 to displaced refugees in our own day.In Potential History, Azoulay travels alongside historical companions - an old Palestinian man who refused to leave his village in 1948, an anonymous woman in war-ravaged Berlin, looted objects and documents torn from their worlds and now housed in archives and museums - to chart the ways imperialism has sought to order time, space, and politics. Rather than looking for a new future, Azoulay calls upon us to rewind history and unlearn our imperial rights, to continue to refuse imperial violence by making present what was invented as "past" and making the repair of torn worlds the substance of politics.

What is the difference between potential and potential difference?
Potential refers to the amount of stored energy in an object due to its position or state, while potential difference is the difference in potential energy between two points in a system. In other words, potential is a scalar quantity that represents the energy at a single point, while potential difference is a vector quantity that represents the change in energy between two points. Potential is measured in joules, while potential difference is measured in volts.

What is the resting potential and the membrane potential?
The resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the membrane of a neuron when it is not being stimulated. It is typically around -70 millivolts and is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the membrane. The membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell membrane, which is essential for the transmission of signals in neurons.

What is a potential well in the physics of the sun?
A potential well in the physics of the sun refers to the region where the gravitational force is strong enough to confine the hot, dense plasma within the sun's core. This gravitational force creates a well-like shape in the potential energy of the particles, with the deepest point at the center of the sun. The potential well is crucial for maintaining the high temperature and pressure necessary for nuclear fusion to occur, which is the process that powers the sun and produces its energy. Without the potential well, the plasma would expand and disperse, and the sun would not be able to sustain its energy production.

What is a potential difference and what is a potential?
A potential difference, also known as voltage, is the difference in electric potential between two points in an electric circuit. It is measured in volts and represents the amount of work needed to move a unit of electric charge between the two points. Potential, on the other hand, refers to the electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. It is a scalar quantity that helps determine the direction in which electric charges will move in a circuit.
