In a historically unprecedented collaboration, leading futurist and bestselling author Jamie Metzl partners with the AI system GPT-5 to demonstrate a breathtaking possibility: that advanced artificial intelligence, guided by human ethics and wisdom, can help shape a more humane future. At a moment of rapid AI disruption, growing concern about AI governance, and deep uncertainty about the future of technology, this groundbreaking work reveals how we can partner with advanced AI to foster peace, understanding, and responsible decision-making-if we are ready to listen.

Hormones animate every aspect and every moment of our lives, controlling our milestone moments as well as our day-to-day emotions and behaviour. Dr Saira Hameed is one of the UK's leading endocrinologists and in Signals she invites us into her clinic to see the lives interrupted by misfiring hormones and how fixing the problem recalibrates a life. We sit beside Dr Hameed as she hears stories from spirit-sapping exhaustion to agonising infertility, absent libido to frenzied disorientation. Signals takes us on a journey inside our bodies to reveal the spectacular endocrine life force at work.

In Wilderlands, archaeologist Eloise Kane unearths 12,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and beyond, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think. Places free from our influence haven't existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild - not as separate from us.

Can you ever truly experience your own death? Quantum physics says no. Everyone dies. But what if, from your own perspective, death is impossible to experience? Reality doesn't follow one timeline. Every quantum event creates branching worlds where all outcomes happen. You exist in branches where you survived—but not in branches where you died.

When Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. broke from the Democratic Party and joined forces with Donald Trump, it shocked the political establishment and ignited a movement no one saw coming. Out of that moment came MAHA—Make America Healthy Again—a bipartisan revolution uniting farmers and homesteaders, conservatives and progressives, skeptics and visionaries around a shared mission: healthier food, stronger communities, and freedom from the grip of Big Pharma and Big Ag.

It’s been six years since the COVID-19 pandemic threw the world into organized chaos. And though the masks are largely gone, the plexiglass has been taken down, and even as we have returned to normalcy in many senses of the word, nobody can deny that everything has changed. Herein lies the heart of the issue, how exactly did the CDC and other supposed experts get so many things so wrong? Can the fog of uncertainty that surrounds a novel pandemic explain how off-course our leaders found themselves during the early years of the 2020s?

Written by poultry keeper and lifetime enthusiast, Adrian Marks who has been involved with animals his whole life. He has reared and kept many breeds of poultry over the years, including many varieties of Ducks, Geese, Pheasant, Chickens, Bantams and of course Guinea Fowl. Guinea Fowl in particular have always held a lasting interest to him, which largely inspired him to pay homage to this fascinating bird.

Your cat is watching you right now. It knows your schedule, your footsteps, your moods. And you have no reliable way to know what it knows. For centuries, we have tried to communicate with animals by asking the wrong question: what are they thinking? In this bold, rigorous, and deeply original book, Boris Kriger argues that this question is not merely unanswerable—it is incoherent. The interior of any complex system, from a cat to a human brain to an AI chatbot, is permanently inaccessible. But the exterior—behavior—is observable, predictable, and measurable.

Caring for your pets and caring for the planet work hand in hand. This friendly, clear, and slightly mischievous guide shows you how to give your dog or cat a wonderful life while lowering your household’s environmental footprint, saving money, and making everyday choices that feel good and do good. James Ellison invites you into his New England home with Sam, Edna, and Milo, where every lesson comes from real life. Sustainable pet care is not an all-or-nothing mission. It is a series of small, thoughtful habits that help pets thrive while protecting the world they live in.

What is time, really—and why does it seem to flow? In this short essay, Stephen Wolfram explores time not as a coordinate or backdrop but as something generated by the ongoing computation of the universe itself. Drawing on ideas from his Physics Project, he explains how the passage of time—our experience of one moment giving way to the next—arises from the limits of what observers like us can compute. We can't see the future all at once; we have to compute it step by step.

Every spring, tornadoes tear through America's heartland with winds exceeding 200 mph. Every summer, derechos unleash hurricane-force destruction across hundreds of miles. Every year, floods swallow homes, and blizzards trap families without power for days.

For a century, physicists and philosophers have treated quantum mechanics as an anomaly—a realm where particles tunnel through barriers, exist in multiple states at once, and refuse to reveal their properties until observed. The quantum world has been called bizarre, counterintuitive, and fundamentally strange. But what if this strangeness was never in the world at all? What if it was only ever in our expectations? Nothing Strange About Quantum Strangeness offers a radical reframing.

From the crystalline headwaters of the Rocky Mountains to its shocking demise in a foamy, polluted pit in the Sonoran Desert, the Colorado River's story is one of both epic beauty and profound loss. In this deeply personal and visually stunning narrative, acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Pete McBride sets out to document the lifeblood of the American West. What begins as an assignment close to his childhood home transforms into a twenty-year odyssey that will change him forever.

A ciência, cada vez mais, tem questionado e refutado o senso comum e as crenças que a humanidade vem acumulando ao longo das gerações. Diante desse conflito entre as experiências subjetivas e as evidências científicas, é comum indagar: afinal, o que é ciência? Como ela funciona? Para que serve? O que diferencia ciência de pseudociência? Como a ciência é impactada pelas fake news e pela desinformação?

This book explains why events in the world cannot always be understood as the result of separate things influencing one another locally. Starting from a well-established result in modern physics, it shows that some correlations observed in nature cannot be explained by assuming that each object carries its own independent properties and that all influence spreads step by step through space. The book examines the theorem that establishes this limit and the experiments that confirm it.

Below the waves, the ocean remains a largely undiscovered realm, with only 25% of its features mapped in detail. What we know about its depths, we've learned with the help of deep-sea robots.
