Die Erde steht unter Druck und mit ihr die Menschheit. Extreme Wetterereignisse, schmelzende Eisschilde, verschwindende Artenvielfalt und politische Versäumnisse zeigen: Wir stehen an einem Wendepunkt. Die entscheidende Frage lautet: Was tun wir jetzt und gibt es noch Hoffnung?

In The International Space Station: 10 Amazing Facts, author Daran Volcroft takes you on a journey beyond our atmosphere to discover the secrets, science, and stories behind this incredible achievement. From its humble beginnings as a single Russian module launched in 1998 to its current status as the largest human-made object in space, the ISS is a triumph of vision, technology, and cooperation.

In this audiobook, Dr Kruszelnicki takes us on another exploration of the dazzling world of science. Does cranberry juice cure urinary tract infections? Is the hookah really a safer way to smoke? Will the Large Hadron Collider destroy the Earth and the Universe?

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.

Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care.

Heinrich Wilson takes you on a fast-paced journey through time travel, the multiverse, glitches in the matrix, déjà vu, funny coincidences, and the Butterfly Effect — showing how the past may not be fixed, the present may already be patched, and the future isn’t waiting… it’s multiplying. This is not a dry science book. It’s a witty, unsettling, and eye-opening exploration of the idea that our world might not be the first version of reality — just the one that survived.

In Is Teleportation Possible? 10 Scientific Concepts Explained Simply, Lucan Merrian takes listeners on an accessible yet deeply thought-provoking journey through the physics, philosophy, and imagination of teleportation.

You don’t need a farm—or even a backyard—to enjoy fresh, homegrown mushrooms. With the right setup and know-how, you can cultivate gourmet and medicinal fungi indoors, all year long. The Indoor Mushroom Maker is your complete beginner-friendly guide to growing, harvesting, and enjoying edible mushrooms from the comfort of your home.

Several years ago I became interested in the ideas of real time travel and dimensional travel. I’ve been trained in science and modern physics as well as engineering so I knew that modern theories of our physical world did not include the possibilities that time or dimensional travel existed. As I did my research on stories of people who had travelled through time or additional dimensions there were many very credible stories. These stories eventually led me to conclude that time or dimensional travel through portals or veils does exist and some persons have experienced it.

Desde sus más remotos orígenes, la humanidad se sintió fascinada por la influencia de los astros en la naturaleza. Desde las más pretéritas civilizaciones observamos la bóveda celeste, dibujando constelaciones y escudriñando entre los astros, en busca de respuestas sobre nuestra propia existencia. En ese camino, colosal y formidable, descubrimos el universo, y hoy nos sigue enamorando como lo hizo a los primeros homínidos que levantaron la vista hacia los cielos más oscuros de todos los tiempos.

Free-flowing rivers in the United States are an endangered species. With more than 500,000 dams in place, we've dammed and diverted almost every major river, straightening curves and blocking passage for fish and other aquatic animals, pushing many to the brink. Now a heartening new movement is helping to demolish harmful or obsolete structures and restore new life to rivers and the communities that depend on them. In doing so, it offers a pathway to undoing environmental harm to nature—and to ourselves.

Our human brain is both unique and similar to that of other species. The only way we can trace its evolution is by comparing it to the brains of animals alive today. In this book, leading neuroscientist Rogier Mars offers an engaging account of the evolution of the brain by exploring the brains and cognitive capacities of animals from the humble sea squirt to the socially minded fox and the tiny shrew.

The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers.

The myth of an easy energy transition is unraveling—but the future isn’t yet written. Oil and gas leaders now face "The Moment"—a generational opportunity to move beyond status quo political polarization and step forward as indispensable leaders. In The Myth and the Moment, Tisha Schuller provides the roadmap for navigating "The Moment" with clarity, pragmatism, and trust.

We have such great potential as human beings. We are much more than mortal instruments roaming around on Earth trying to carve out lives that are dictated by social orders, ethnic borders and even democracy. Humankind can function on its own without being told how by anyone or any group. All we need to go is set our focus on a better world and we will change it. My Focus Determines My Reality is a 4000 word exploration into the use of intention and the truth behind spiritual philosophies as well as providing proof of what is possible.

The inspiring memoir of Leroy Chiao, one of the first Asian American astronauts in history, elucidating his remarkable path into space as well as his experiences on Earth and beyond Imagine if you could sit down and enjoy a meal with an astronaut. What questions would you ask? What could you...

In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites listeners on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe.

In 2021, Ruby Free, 21, got her dream job working on an RSPB reserve. But this position wasn’t for the faint hearted – it meant moving to live on Rathlin Island, off the County Antrim coast. One of the wildest and most biodiverse corners of the UK and Ireland, to Ruby, who had grown up in the south-west of England, it felt both thrilling and very far from home.

Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities. I call him "Homo Planetae" or Man of the Planet.

In 1910 Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen set sail for Antarctica, each from his own starting point, and the epic race for the South Pole was on. For the first time, Scott's unedited diaries run alongside those of both Amundsen and Olav Bjaaland, never before translated into English. Cutting through the welter of controversy to the events at the heart of the story, Huntford weaves the narrative from the protagonists' accounts of their own fate.
