Today's paradigms are "sustainable" and "responsible mining", mining that is profitable but protects the environment, human rights, and health. Mining: A Very Short Introduction covers this information and looks to the future to see where mining ideally will go.

Combining technical rigor and deep up-to-the-minute knowledge about AI development, the natural sciences (especially neuroscience), and philosophical literacy, "What Is Intelligence?" argues—quite against the grain—that certain modern AI systems do indeed have a claim to intelligence, consciousness, and free will.

Life didn’t begin with a roar. It began with goo. Before brains, bones, bugs, or breathing, Earth was just a soup of chemicals getting zapped by lightning until something clicked. This is the story of what happened next. From the first self-replicating molecule to the rise of humans with god complexes, From Goo to You is a ride through four billion years of biology. The true story of how atoms turned into cells, cells turned into creatures, and creatures started asking, "What even is life?"

The Fascinating History of GPS: How a Cold War Invention Changed the Way We Navigate the World by Revin Laxtor is a captivating exploration of one of humanity’s most transformative achievements—the Global Positioning System. In an age where a simple blue dot on a smartphone can guide us effortlessly across continents, it’s easy to forget how recently this technology was born and how profoundly it has reshaped our world. This book takes readers on a remarkable journey through time, science, and ingenuity, revealing how a Cold War innovation became the invisible force powering modern life.

Beneath the waves lies a world of color, motion, and mystery—and few creatures embody it better than the lobster. Known to most as a luxury meal or a symbol of coastal life, the real lobster is something far greater: an ancient survivor, an expert engineer of the seafloor, and one of the ocean’s most perfectly adapted creatures. In The Lobster Files, author Calven Hurstin invites listeners to dive deep into the secret life of this remarkable crustacean, exploring its biology, behavior, and extraordinary story of endurance.

When will the next pandemic arrive? For wildlife, it’s already here. The Nature of Pandemics explores an unspoken truth: how our actions are driving wildlife pandemics across the world. Highlighting the interconnectedness of human, (non-human) animal and environmental health, it examines historical and contemporary pandemics and considers the importance of conservation and restoration efforts, presenting a compelling case for rethinking how we approach pandemic prevention.

En El cerebro consciente, Jacobo Grinberg explora a profundidad los grandes temas que le obsesionaron: la conciencia, la construcción de la realidad y cómo la experimentamos.

Impassioned and eloquent, Black Bear is a story of grief and a vision of peaceful coexistence in a divided world. It captures the fragility of our relationships with human and nonhuman species alike, and the imperative to protect the wild—along with the people we hold closest.

Planet Earth has been a familiar concept for a mere fraction of recorded history. Until about the mid-1600s, most humans thought of Earth as immobile, likely either dim or simply invisible from the Moon or anywhere else in the heavens, and not (like the planets) participating in what Galileo...

Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing.

Of the codified laws of nature, only one inscribes a direction to time: the dreaded second law of thermodynamics, which declares that the disorder of a closed system tends to increase as time passes. New shoes eventually scuff, our bodies weaken and die. Yet our senses tell us that miraculous order constantly emerges, too: children grow and learn; spontaneous patterns manifest in murmurations of starlings. Can it be true that the laws of our universe mandate only dissolution?
