    What astronauts' extraordinary experiences of awe and humility teach us about humanity. What is it like to stand in the shadow of Earth and the Moon and look out at the vastness of the Milky Way? To confront a view so grand it cannot be reproduced in a photo? These are the questions space anthropologist Deana L. Weibel asked as she interviewed astronauts and others in the space community. What they told her was not just surprising but also deeply moving. When gazing into star fields not fully visible from Earth, these astronauts experienced a profound sense of humility that fundamentally transformed their understanding of humanity. Welcome to the ultraview effect. The ultraview effect expands on the classic "overview effect." Comparing spacefarers to religious pilgrims, Weibel suggests that this experience of deep humility is a generative reaction to awe, which inspires exploration and adventure. When facing the vastness of the universe, acknowledging our monumental ignorance is what drives our will to discover. A fascinating dive into science, cognition, and spirituality, The Ultraview Effect draws from astronauts' own accounts to make the case that continued human space exploration is not only a scientifically essential endeavor but also a culturally enriching one.

    The Women, but Stronger reimagines the story of war, courage, and memory from the voices history silenced. It’s not a retelling of battles, but of what comes after — the quiet labor of survival, the invisible architecture of care, and the unacknowledged strength that rebuilt the world. With lyrical prose and sociological depth, it explores how the myths of heroism have erased the emotional truth of endurance, and how women have always carried civilization through its darkest hours. A powerful, contemplative book about resilience, silence, and the radical act of compassion in a world that glorifies conquest.

    From Benjamin Hoff, author of The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet, which have sold millions of copies worldwide, comes The Eternal Tao Te Ching, a new translation of the Chinese philosophical classic, the Tao Te Ching. 
     
     
     
    The Eternal Tao Te Ching is the first translation to employ the meanings of the pre-writing brush characters in use 2,400 years ago, when the classic was written, rather than relying on the often different meanings of the more modern brush characters, as other translations have done. Hoff points out in his chapter notes the many incidents of meddling and muddling that have been made over the centuries by scholars and copyists, and he corrects the mistakes and removes such tampering from the text. Hoff also makes the provocative claim—and demonstrates by revealing clues in the text—that the author of Tao Te Ching was a young nobleman hiding his identity, rather than the long alleged author, the "Old Master" of legend, Lao-tzu. And Hoff's chapter notes shed new light on the author's surprisingly modern viewpoint. This is a unique, and uniquely accessible, presentation of the Tao Te Ching.
