  Every time you scroll, click, or swipe, invisible systems are quietly deciding what you see next. How Algorithms Shape Your Choices takes readers behind the screen to uncover how recommender engines, attention metrics, and predictive models influence not only what we consume — but what we believe. In clear, accessible language, it reveals how the digital world builds personalized realities that guide our thoughts and behaviors without asking for permission. From filter bubbles to algorithmic bias, it traces how data-driven design became the most powerful force in modern life — and how understanding it is the first step toward reclaiming control. This isn’t a story about technology; it’s a story about human freedom in an age of invisible influence.

  A personal and engaging tribute to nature from a world-famous theoretical physicist 
  Marcelo Gleiser has had a passion for science and fishing since he was a boy growing up on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. As a world-famous theoretical physicist with hundreds of scientific articles and several books of popular science to his credit, he felt it was time to once again connect with nature in less theoretical ways. After seeing a fly-fishing class on the Dartmouth College green, he decided to learn to fly-fish, a hobby, he says, that teaches humility. In The Simple Beauty of the Unexpected, Gleiser travels the world to scientific conferences, fishing wherever he goes. At each stop, he ponders the myriad ways physics informs the act of fishing; how, in its turn, fishing serves as a lens into nature’s inner workings; and how science engages with questions of meaning and spirituality, inspiring a sense of mystery and awe of the not yet known. Personal and engaging, The Simple Beauty of the Unexpected is a scientist’s tribute to nature, an affirmation of humanity’s deep connection with and debt to Earth, and an exploration of the meaning of existence, from atom to trout to cosmos.  
  This edition features a new essay by Gleiser on how we need a profound change of worldview if we are to have a vibrant future for our species in this fragile environment. He describes how this book was an incubator for his current thinking.

  Call of the Kingfisher is the enchanting debut from composer and wildlife recordist Nick Penny. This love letter to a short stretch of Northamptonshire's River Nene celebrates all the wild things that live there, especially the kingfishers. Nick has walked beside the river at Oundle for four decades. But for a whole year he gave the waterway all the time it asked for. The more attention he gave it, the more he saw the kingfishers and heard their high whistling calls. Set in a lovely but little-known part of England, Call of the Kingfisher relates a year by the river, the author's experiences there and the different people he meets. Other strands are woven around the elusive feathered protagonist: explorations of local history and landscape, from Roman and Bronze Age sites to watermills and centuries-old stone churches; visits at different times and to different places in the valley; homages to naturalists who lived nearby; forest dawns and dusks listening to the precious song of nightingales. But the background tapestry is the sights and sounds, and greens and browns, of the riverbank, shot through with the blue and orange threads of a kingfisher's glowing feathers.As a composer and wildlife recordist, Nick has a deep interest in sounds in the natural environment. He uses the local landscape and wildlife sounds as inspiration, and brings fresh insights into the sounds of the countryside. The book includes access to a number of high-quality birdsong recordings made alongside the River Nene - audio soundbites of nature's riches, from kingfishers and nightingales to owls and cuckoos. This is a book about the things that can be seen and heard when we approach nature with patience and curiosity. It celebrates people who have used that focus to help preserve wildlife and pass on their knowledge to future generations. Above all, Call of the Kingfisher serves as a call to appreciate what we've got, wherever we are, and to use our ears as much as our eyes when we experience the natural world.

  Are you up for a trip through the ultimate neighborhood? Join astrophysicist Hugh Ross for an insider’s look at our cosmic neighborhood, where you’ll see everything from the largest-scale structure of the universe to Earth’s innermost layers. In Designed to the Core, Ross explains how the most sophisticated scientific instruments reveal exquisite “interior designs” throughout the universe that are ideally suited for human habitation here on Earth right now. This scientific excursion takes us to the interior structures of super-superclusters of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, local galaxies, our Milky Way Galaxy, the Sun, our planetary system, the Moon, and Earth’s interior—all of which reveal fine-tuning that manifests a Designer’s planning and preparation.Please note that you may download accompanying PDFs that provide enhanced materials for this audiobook at https://reasons.org/audiobooks.

  2040 - Is This the End We Want?

  Howard Atkins

  2040 is a dystopian warning and deliberate prequel to the companion novel 2084. Where 2084 explores a future shaped by thoughtful integration between humanity and artificial intelligence, 2040 reveals what happens when power, fear, and unchecked systems determine the path forward instead. This is the future we do not want. 
  The story traces the years leading to 2040, as democratic institutions erode, surveillance becomes normalized, and technology shifts from innovation to enforcement. Authority tightens. Extremism spreads. Economies fracture. Citizens comply not through force, but through convenience, loyalty, and fear. Freedom survives as language, but disappears in practice. 
  Artificial intelligence is not the villain here. Like in 2084, it is a tool. The danger lies in who controls it and why. Systems designed to protect become mechanisms that monitor, restrict, and punish. Resistance is reframed as risk. 
  This book is intentionally unsettling because it is plausible. Its events echo debates already unfolding worldwide. This is the dark trajectory. Read it first. 
  The possible alternate ending appears in the hopeful companion book: 2084. What if there’s another path? Discover it in 2084, where humanity chooses ethics, restraint, and shared responsibility over domination, obedience, and control of its own future at last now.
