Summary

Living Materials explores the exciting potential of integrating living organisms and biological processes into material science, offering solutions to issues of sustainability and performance. This emerging field promises self-repairing structures and buildings that grow, moving beyond the limitations of traditional materials. Imagine bio-concrete buildings and self-repairing pipelines becoming commonplace, greatly reducing our reliance on resource-intensive manufacturing. The book traces the development of bio-materials and their applications in Growing Structures, Living Infrastructure, and Designing with Biology. It highlights how biotechnology is being used for environmental remediation, such as in bio-filtration systems, and also examines the integration of living systems into design, for example, bio-luminescent lighting. One intriguing area covered is the potential for Living Materials to revolutionize construction through bio-printed buildings, showcasing a blend of biology and architecture. The book provides a structured overview, beginning with fundamental concepts and progressing through real-world applications, ethical considerations, and future directions. By presenting research, case studies, and expert interviews, it bridges the gap between current scientific understanding and the transformative possibilities of bio-integrated design, making it valuable for anyone interested in sustainable development and the future of materials science.

    Spacetime – How the Universe Learns to Think 
(Physics Explained Simply | Volume 3) 
What is spacetime, really? 
A fixed framework of space and time — or a living fabric that connects motion, energy, and perception? 
In Volume 3 of the Physics Explained Simply series, Orhan Schöwe explores one of the deepest concepts of modern physics: spacetime. This audiobook explains, clearly and without formulas, how space and time are inseparably intertwined — and why this insight fundamentally changes our understanding of reality. 
You will discover:why space and time are not separate entitieshow gravity and motion shape the structure of the universewhy time does not simply pass, but is part of a larger relational wholehow spacetime expands our thinking about the world, life, and consciousness 
Spacetime – How the Universe Learns to Think combines scientific precision with a calm, focused narrative voice. It is not a textbook, but an intellectual journey through the structure of reality — accessible, concentrated, and open to wonder. 
For everyone who wants to listen to physics and truly understand it 
— without mathematical barriers, 
— without oversimplification, 
— but with depth, clarity, and philosophical openness.

    A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.
