Our world is changing, the climate is changing. Species that have long existed on our planet are disappearing and resources are becoming scarce. People are slowly realizing that development is not always good. We are exploiting our earth, but we should be looking after it, because we only have this one. Slowly, however, a rethink is taking place and people are trying to undo past mistakes. Attempts are being made to reduce CO₂ emissions, conserve the earth's resources and pay more attention to nature. But once we have become accustomed to a certain standard of living, it is difficult to give it up again or change our habits.

La realidad tal y como la percibimos está conformada, desde el punto de vista de la física cuántica, por una red compleja mejor conocida como lattice, pero para Jacobo Grinberg esta es resultado, a su vez, de la percepción y la actividad neuronal de cada individuo. En este libro, resultado de 15 años de investigación, el doctor Grinberg responde a estas y otras interrogantes, explora más allá de los límites del cerebro humano y propone un nuevo paradigma para la ciencia que se antoja tan fascinante como revolucionario.

En El universo en una caja, el profesor de cosmología Andrew Pontzen, explica de una manera clara y rigurosa qué son las simulaciones, esos códigos informáticos con los que los científicos han podido recrear el universo y profundizar en su historia, poniendo a prueba por primera vez ideas centenarias. Esta suerte de manual fundamental para amantes de la astronomía, que aún está desplegando sus capacidades, replantea lo que creemos saber sobre los agujeros negros o la materia cósmica para arrojar nuevas luces sobre nuestra realidad.

Filosofía: el término suena fascinante, hermoso, de algún modo romántico y armonioso y, al mismo tiempo, como un gran esfuerzo intelectual. Sin embargo, en realidad la filosofía no es ni especialmente romántica ni especialmente agotadora. Es cierto que hay que utilizar el cerebro, y quizá algunas cosas excedan el sentido común normal, pero básicamente la filosofía sólo significa interesarse por las personas y el mundo.

If you are looking to start developing your data self-defense and critical news consumption skills, this book is for you! It reflects a long-term collaboration between a statistician and a journalist to shed light on the statistics behind the stories and the stories behind the statistics. The only prerequisite for enjoying this book is an interest in developing the skills and insights for better understanding news stories that incorporate quantitative information.

In order to provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the information presented in this book, it is important to include a section dedicated to references. The following references have been used to compile the information about the mysterious alien planet, Proxima B. One of the primary sources for information on Proxima B is the groundbreaking research conducted by the European Southern Observatory (ESO).

This book is not for those with weak stomachs or who may be squeamish. If you are prone to nightmares, give this book a miss. The author describes horrific motorcycle crashes, near death situations with helicopters and some cameo descriptions of life in a Game Reserve including the humorous day of the Mpundu, when drunk monkeys fall out of a tree. This is better than the first part and will hold your attention to the last tragic chapter, laugh with the author, cry with him and feel what he felt.

A unified theory of human living, the concept of Quanology represents the next evolutionary step in achieving what humans would consider "the good life." And while it's currently popular to view nature and technology as two fundamentally opposed concepts, Quanology approaches each as complementary to the other.

In the summer of 2024, a cacophony unlike any other will fill the air in many parts of the United States. Cicadas, those enigmatic insects known for their distinctive buzzing sound and periodic emergence, are set to make their grand appearance.

After being an atheist for a long time, the author was persuaded to change his mind by science. He is now an atheist author, journalist, and professor at Harvard. Despite his atheism in the past, he today holds the belief that religion is the ultimate power due to its centrality to science and its invulnerability to natural disasters.

As the world faces increasing energy challenges and environmental concerns, harnessing the power of the sun presents a sustainable solution that empowers individuals to live independently and responsibly. We will begin by unraveling the mysteries of solar energy, exploring its origins, mechanisms, and the remarkable potential it holds as a renewable resource. Understanding the fundamentals of solar energy is crucial for grasping its applications and benefits.

Sean Carroll is creating a profoundly new approach to sharing physics with a broad audience, one that goes beyond analogies to show how physicists really think. He cuts to the bare mathematical essence of our most profound theories, explaining every step in a uniquely accessible way. Quantum field theory is how modern physics describes nature at its most profound level. Starting with the basics of quantum mechanics itself, Sean Carroll explains measurement and entanglement before explaining how the world is really made of fields.

まだ見ぬ「神」を探して――岡潔×小林秀雄の名著『人間の建設』の現代版がここに誕生！話者のひとりはカオス理論の確立者であり、複雑系科学の第一人者の数学者、物理学者の津田一郎。

In this thrilling memoir of a life spent exploring the most incredible places on Earth—from the Great African Seaforest to the crocodile lairs of the Okavango Delta—Craig Foster reveals how we can attend to the earthly beauty around us and deepen our love for all living things, whether we make our homes in the country, the city, or anywhere in between.

Salvage divers work underwater in a blinding darkness. In their cumbersome diving gear, these men have barely enough room to move around, while at the same time fighting the cold temperatures and fast currents. It is a dirty, unromantic, and highly dangerous way of earning a living.

"Se si sta dentro un bosco in posizione di ascolto, prima o poi si avverte, si intuisce la presenza di un flusso di energia che circola tra i rami, le foglie, le radici. Talvolta è un sussurro, altre volte strepiti e grida. È come se le piante parlassero tra loro." Camminatore infaticabile e sensibilissimo osservatore della natura, Daniele Zovi, negli anni, questi suoni ha imparato ad ascoltarli e interpretarli.

On July 4, 1999, in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, a bizarre confluence of meteorological events resulted in the most damaging blowdown in the region's history. Gunflint Falling tells the story of this devastating storm from the perspectives of those who were on the ground before, during, and after the catastrophic event.

In this tour of the animal kingdom, evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin reveals a new field of study, uncovering social networks that existed long before the dawn of human social media. He accessibly describes the latest findings from animal behavior, evolution, computer science, psychology, anthropology, genetics, and neurobiology, and incorporates interviews and insights from researchers he finds swimming with manta rays, avoiding pigeon poop, and stopping monkeys from stealing iPads.

Showing that the god who created us was not the same god who expelled us from Eden, Hardy explains that there will be no apocalypse because the Good/Evil duality has never truly existed—it has been only enemy gods fighting and implicating humanity in the wake of their own competition for power. With a full psychological understanding of how the ancient “gods” have shaped humanity’s ongoing history of conflict, we can move beyond the framework of “(my) Good versus (your) Evil” imposed by Enlil and begin to steer our own planetary destiny.

Upon its first English publication in 1959, Popper's The Logic of Scientific Discovery revolutionized thinking about the scientific method. Largely an exploration of the demarcation problem, or what distinguishes science from non-science, Popper introduced and defended his concept of falsifability -- that scientific systems are ones open to empirical disconfirmation -- against the prevailing views of his day.
