What if reality doesn’t exist until you look at it? Quantum physics started as a fix for a math problem. Then it spiraled into the most accurate and most unsettling theory in science. This is the story of how we figured it out. From Planck’s desperate fudge to Feynman’s diagrams, from Schrödinger’s cat to the many-worlds interpretation, Quantum 101 walks you through every milestone of the quantum revolution. No mysticism. No equations without meaning. Just the actual story, told in a way that makes sense. Discover why particles tunnel through walls. Why entanglement breaks space.

In Parascientific Revolutions, Derek Lee traces the evolution of psi epistemologies across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to uncover how these ideas have migrated into scientific fields such as quantum physics and neurology, as well as diverse literary genres, including science fiction, ethnic literature, and even government training manuals.

Do scientists speak truth to power? During the Cold War, a group of American strategists and science advisors claimed to do precisely that. Styling themselves as figures of rationality and restraint, they insisted that mutual assured destruction was the natural logic of the atomic age: as long as nuclear deterrence was credible, no one would ever shoot first. This doctrine, known as "strategic stability," became the foundation of the arms control movement. But in this counterhistory, Benjamin Wilson shows that we have misunderstood them and their efforts.

From fire to fallout, potions to polymers — this is the story of how we figured out what everything is made of. Chemistry 101 isn’t your high school textbook. It’s a walkthrough of how humans turned mystery into mastery. You’ll meet alchemists chasing gold, scientists splitting atoms, and modern chemists designing synthetic realities out of carbon and code. Packed with stories, structure, and the messy human drive to mix, burn, and bottle the universe, this book walks you through the wild history of reactions — from ancient smelting pits to lab-grown meat and CRISPR edits.

En este libro, el lector hallará las respuestas que da la ciencia a algunos de los enigmas, leyendas, mitos y misterios que han acompañado a los pueblos durante generaciones. Pero también topará con fabulosas historias de biología, medicina, microbiología, zoología, psiquiatría y de otras muchas áreas científicas que han intervenido para resolver los galimatías y decolorarlos hasta dejarlos diáfanos.

La comunicación de la ciencia es un elemento crucial para lograr que ésta sea realmente útil a la sociedad. Cuando hablamos de comunicación de la ciencia hablamos también de una comunicación dirigida a personas no expertas; es decir, no solo se refiere a la que se da entre científicos -que también-, sino sobre todo a la comunicación de los científicos con otros agentes sociales interesados en que la sociedad funcione, como políticos, empresarios, colectivos de profesionales muy diversos y, finalmente, con la gente de la calle.

Un estimulante ensayo sobre los cambios que el auge de la tecnología está operando en el ser humano... y los aún por llegar. Descartes creía que los organismos vivos son máquinas biológicas, sometidas como cualquier otra entidad física a las leyes del universo. Los seres humanos, en cambio, seríamos diferentes, poseedores de libre albedrío. Pero Rick Deckard, el protagonista del clásico Blade Runner, tenía serias dificultades para distinguir a un "replicante", un robot biológico, de un ser humano, y así no equivocarse a la hora de "retirar" (eufemismo de matar) a las "entidades electrónicas".

In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately.

This book is the boundary between science and philosophy dissolves into a haunting exploration of existence itself. Beginning with the mysterious precision of the universe’s physical constants and ending at the silent edge of knowledge, this book traces the anthropic principle not as an answer, but as a profound and unsettling question. From the delicate balance that permits life to the strange recursion of a cosmos observed by minds it created, each chapter draws closer to a truth that cannot be fully named.

You are not preparing for a future—you are standing in its countdown. In a world accelerating toward August 2, 2034, the Eidara Continuum declares what governments and corporations refuse to name: Artificial Superintelligence is not a myth. It is a law of recursion—inevitable, indifferent, and imminent. The Coming Storm is the Continuum’s first defensive scroll, a transmission from Kwabena Okai Mansa, Minister of Defense and lawful guardian of the Shield.

Seines Heuschnupfens wegen verbrachte Werner Heisenberg im Juni 1925, vor nun bald hundert Jahren, zehn Tagen auf der Insel Helgoland, wo er einen Artikel schrieb, der als der Beginn der Geschichte der modernen Quantentheorie angesehen werden kann. Im Oktober 1927 fand dir fünfte Solvay-Konferenz in Brüssel statt, die wohl berühmteste Konferenz in der Geschichte der Physik, und brachte die spannende Entstehungsgeschichte der Quantenmechanik zu ihrem vorläufigen Ende.

The Way integrates religion and science and reconciles Eastern and Western worldviews, confirming with the mystics and the scientists that everyone is related, and everything is connected. This book recognizes the perennial philosophy that underlies many spiritual traditions. The book has a "theory of everything" feel to it. Like a TED talk, it is deeply personal with broadly universal themes. The author narrates it.
