There are few fields of science that carbon-14 has not touched. A radioactive isotope of carbon, it stands out for its unusually long half-life. Best known for its application to estimating the age of artifacts-carbon dating-carbon-14 helped reveal new chronologies of human civilization and geological time. Everything containing carbon, the basis of all life, could be placed in time according to the clock of radioactive decay, with research applications ranging from archeology to oceanography to climatology.In Hot Carbon, John F. Marra tells the untold story of this scientific revolution. He weaves together the workings of the many disciplines that employ carbon-14 with gripping tales of the individuals who pioneered its possibilities. He describes the concrete applications of carbon-14 to the study of all the stuff of life on earth, from climate science's understanding of change over time to his own work on oceanic photosynthesis with microscopic phytoplankton. Marra's engaging narrative encompasses nuclear testing, the peopling of the Americas, elephant poaching, and the flax plants used for the linen in the Shroud of Turin. Combining colorful narrative prose with accessible explanations of fundamental science, Hot Carbon is a thought-provoking exploration of how the power of carbon-14 informs our relationship to the past.

Chi possiede il passato? Come si leggono le ossa antiche? E cosa ci dicono sulle nostre origini gli artifatti, il polline e il DNA dell’età glaciale? Usando tecniche sempre più raffinate, gli scienziati riescono a ricostruire gli ambienti del passato profondo e i primi esseri umani che ci vivevano. I lettori di ossa esamina i fatti e i miti sull’arrivo dei primi uomini in Australia; il DNA degli attuali Aborigeni australiani rivela le loro origini; le teorie degli hobbit indonesiani; e chi o cosa ha ucciso i marsupiali giganti dell’Australia. Le scoperte australiane trovano eco nei dibattiti sulla misteriosa fine dei Neanderthal e gettano luce sull’evoluzione umana. Ma, come sempre, gli scienziati sono divisi. I lettori di ossa mette in evidenza un mondo di coloriti personaggi e un dibattito appassionato – e alcune idee veramente bizzarre. Questo libro chiarisce le idee a chi è incuriosito da affermazioni e contro-affermazioni su chi ha fatto cosa, quando a e a chi nel profondo passato della preistoria e spiega in modo lineare la scienza su cui si basano le recenti metodologie investigative. Senza timore di essere controverso, I lettori di ossa è destinato a riscaldare il dibattito sul passato dell’umanità.
