In Zero Buzzwords. Real Results., consultant Stefano Demartin pulls back the curtain on a decade spent inside plants around the world, fixing broken maintenance programs that were drowning in jargon, dashboards, and corporate initiatives that never made it past the conference room. Through gritty, real-world lessons, Demartin shows why PMs stay broken, BOMs stay wrong, and shutdowns burn cash—and what it actually takes to turn the corner. No fluff. No ivory-tower theory. Just stories from the floor and practical tools you can use tomorrow.

September 1, 1985. The RMS Titanic, which has been missing since April 15, 1912, is found in the North Atlantic where it lies at a depth of 3,821 metres. Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a commander in the French Navy, directed underwater research of part of many expeditions to the wreck, from 1987 until...

In Ecological Thinking, the second installment in the "Loving a Sacred Life" series, the focus is on how we think about the world and what does that thinking. Mother Earth as a living being will be explored, as well as the idea of a soul that has an infinite relationship to the planet, beyond our limited human body. Some traditions acknowledge this and we'll look at those traditions that relate to the planet differently than the typical world view. Astrology as a tool for monitoring this relationship over the ages will also be explored.

Have you ever wondered if there’s more to reality than meets the eye? Imagine a universe where a single particle can be in two places at once, where two objects separated by light-years remain mysteriously linked, and where the very act of watching can change what unfolds. This may sound like the plot of a science fiction novel, but it is the astonishing world revealed by quantum physics—a realm that continues to surprise even the scientists who study it. The Quantum World Explained takes you on a clear, accessible journey into this hidden layer of reality.

Science is often portrayed as a realm of certainty—precise formulas, flawless methods, and sudden “eureka” moments of revelation. But the truth is far more complex, fragile, and deeply human. This book explores the hidden life of science: its adventurism and audacity, its errors and illusions, its entanglement with power, and its uneasy partnership with machines.

This Very Short Introduction describes the main sources of renewable energy—solar PV, wind, hydropower, and biomass—their innovative technologies, and what each could deliver.

The Clean Pet Food Revolution lifts the lid on the current pet food industry; its claims of what constitutes a “natural” diet for pets, its shocking record on animal welfare, and its devastating effect on the environment and climate change. The book explodes myths about “grain-free” diets, protein intake, and what our pets “want.” It details the many exciting scientific developments in alternative proteins that promise not only to completely change what we feed our cats and dogs but to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, end farmed-animal slaughter, and make our pets healthier.

From renowned neuroscientist Dr. Vyshedskiy comes a bold and original account of the evolutionary journey that led to humanity’s most defining trait: syntactic language. Drawing on over 40 years of research and his acclaimed course Neuroscience of Consciousness and the Evolution of Language at Boston University, Vyshedskiy masterfully bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with anthropology, linguistics, and evolutionary biology.70,000 years ago, Earth was home to at least six human species. Today, only Homo sapiens remain. What set us apart?

Dal primo avventurarsi su due gambe nelle pianure africane alla produzione di pitture rupestri, piramidi, bastimenti, parlamenti e molto altro: tanto si è scritto sul cammino evolutivo dell'umanità grazie al lavoro di paleontologi, archeologi e genetisti. Ciascuno di loro ha messo un tassello a formare un quadro generale della nostra storia.

For centuries, the patent has stood as a symbol of invention—a mark of genius, a reward for creativity, a promise that innovation would be protected and shared. But behind this polished image lies a more tangled reality. Patents today are wielded less as shields and more as weapons. They grant monopolies over life-saving drugs, obstruct progress in software and biotechnology, and often reward delay, secrecy, and litigation over actual discovery. In this unflinching exploration, the author traces the journey of the patent system from its noble origins to its increasingly distorted present.

In December 1872, HMS Challenger embarked on the first round-the-world oceanographic expedition. Its goal: to shine a light on the mysteries of the deep sea. For the next four years, Challenger's naturalists explored the oceans, encountering never-before-seen marvels of marine life. The expedition’s achievements are the stuff of legend. It identified major ocean currents and defining features of the seafloor. It measured worldwide sea temperatures and chemistry. And, most spectacularly of all, it collected nearly five thousand sea creatures and plants new to science.

Hubert Reeves est l'humaniste par excellence, passionné autant par le ciel et les galaxies que par la nature, la musique ou la poésie. Deux ans après sa disparition, Laurence Honnorat nous offre un émouvant portrait intime et dévoile les dernières réflexions qu'Hubert Reeves lui a confiées sur l'état de notre planète et les perspectives insoupçonnées qu'il pressent pour un monde meilleur. Elle les illustre par les témoignages inédits de sa famille, de ses proches et de scientifiques de premier plan, tous profondément influencés par le célèbre astrophysicien.

For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.
