The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) was the third most powerful navy in the world at the start of World War II, and came to dominate the Pacific in the early months of the war.

This book is a collection of essays about living alongside animals and paying attention to what that closeness quietly changes. It is not a guide to grief, training, or healing, and it does not offer conclusions or lessons meant to travel neatly from one life to another. These pieces move through openness, guardedness, woundedness, steadiness, and imprint, tracing how different animals carry their histories in their bodies and how those histories shape the people who love them. Some arrived easy and stayed easy. Others required patience, structure, or vigilance.

In The Disease of Belief, physician Kevin Hoffarth takes listeners beyond prescriptions and test results into the deeper patterns shaping biology long before symptoms appear.

In the twentieth century, natural resource conservation emerged as a vital force in US politics, laying the groundwork for present-day sustainability. Merging environmental, agricultural, and political history, Joshua Nygren examines the political economy and ecology of agricultural conservation through the lens of the “conservation-industrial complex.” This evolving public-private network—which united the US Department of Agriculture, Congress, local and national organizations, and the agricultural industry—guided soil and water conservation in rural America for much of the century.

Der Zufall regiert unsere Welt. Mit welchen Zahlen man morgen im Lotto gewinnt oder wo es in zwei Jahren regnen wird, ist reine Glückssache. Trotzdem gehen wir davon aus, dass sich die Welt an berechenbare Naturgesetze hält wie eine Uhr, in der ein Zahnrad das nächste bewegt. Wenn man sich auf die Suche nach den wissenschaftlichen Wurzeln des Zufalls begibt, stößt man auf Schmetterlinge, die mit einem Flügelschlag den Lauf der Welt verändern, auf winzige Teilchen, die ihre Eigenschaften ganz zufällig festlegen, und auf genetische Mutationen, die das Leben in neue Bahnen lenken.

This book offers a rigorous and deliberately restrained examination of one of the most ambitious ideas in contemporary theoretical physics: the holographic principle. Rather than celebrating or rejecting holography, it subjects its claims to disciplined evaluation, asking not whether the mathematics works, but what, if anything, it entitles us to say about reality itself. The analysis proceeds from a simple but often neglected distinction between three levels of theoretical success: mathematical consistency, explanatory power, and ontological entitlement.

This book restores the name of Felix Le Dantec—a scientist, philosopher, and heretic of his age—to the living current of thought. At the dawn of the twentieth century, he dared to proclaim that life is not a riddle imposed by spirit upon matter, but that matter itself is spirit—learning, feeling, and recognizing itself through the processes of biology. He saw the organism not as a mechanism steered by circumstance, but as a meaning-making machine: life as an act of self-comprehension, matter awakening to its own awareness.

What if everything you were taught about reality was wrong? In The Death of Materialism, emergency physician David Michael Gibbs shares his improbable journey from die-hard skeptic to cosmopsychist — triggered by a single remote-viewing experiment that shattered fifteen years of materialist certainty.

The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican style government to roads. Similarly, by the 3rd century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone.

En la Inglaterra del siglo XVII, un niño frágil nacido “demasiado pequeño” se convierte, a fuerza de disciplina y obsesión, en el hombre que reescribe las reglas del cielo y de la Tierra. Este libro recorre la vida de Isaac Newton más allá del mito de la manzana: su infancia marcada por la soledad, su ascenso intelectual en Cambridge, la revolución de la luz y el color, la escritura de los Principia y las guerras de ideas que lo enfrentaron a Robert Hooke y Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
