  Are we alone in the universe? It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars—especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars—a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction. 
   
   
   
  Steffen offers a unique, inside account of the work of the Kepler science team (and the sometimes chaotic interactions among team members), mapping the progress of the mission from the launch of the rocket that carried Kepler into space to the revelations of the data that began to flow to the supercomputer back at NASA—evidence of strange new worlds unlike anything found in our own solar system.

  Cities are fundamentally exercises in spatial organization—complex arrangements of human activity, physical infrastructure, and natural systems that collectively define how metropolitan regions function, evolve, and adapt. The geographic logic of urban environments—how different uses are distributed, how resources are allocated, and how communities develop within specific physical contexts—represents one of the most profound expressions of human social organization and values. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Geography, Urban Land Use, and Community Development—examining how spatial patterns emerge, how they reflect deeper social and economic forces, and how they ultimately shape the lived experiences of urban inhabitants. 
  The narrative of urban spatial organization is far more than a technical study of land allocation; it encompasses the dynamic interactions between physical geography, economic systems, social forces, and political decisions that collectively determine the form and function of our cities. By examining the complex mechanisms that drive urban spatial development—from market dynamics and zoning regulations to community activism and cultural preferences—this book illuminates how cities represent physical manifestations of our collective choices, priorities, and power structures. Readers will journey through diverse urban landscapes—from the historic patterns of concentric development to the fragmented geographies of postindustrial cities and the emerging forms of sustainable urbanism—while exploring how community development initiatives seek to reshape urban spaces to better serve human needs.

  Quantum Optics - The...

  Quantum optics is the study of the interaction between light and matter at the quantum level. It combines the principles of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory to explain the behavior of photons and their interactions with atoms, molecules, and other quantum systems. Unlike classical optics, which treats light as a continuous electromagnetic wave, quantum optics describes light as being composed of discrete particles called photons, each carrying a quantized amount of energy proportional to its frequency. The development of quantum optics has led to a deeper understanding of fundamental quantum phenomena, including entanglement, superposition, and quantum coherence. 
  The foundations of quantum optics were laid in the early 20th century with the development of quantum theory. In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed the photon theory of light to explain the photoelectric effect — the emission of electrons from a metal surface when exposed to light. Einstein suggested that light consists of discrete energy packets (photons) with energy E=hνE = h\nu, where hh is Planck's constant and ν\nu is the frequency of light. This idea introduced the concept of wave-particle duality, which was later incorporated into the broader framework of quantum mechanics.

  Neurology - Understanding Brain...

  The human brain is often described as the most intricate and remarkable organ in the known universe. It serves as the control center for every thought, emotion, movement, and sensation we experience, seamlessly integrating billions of neural connections to create the essence of who we are. Despite centuries of scientific inquiry, the brain remains a profound mystery—an organ that not only governs our basic survival but also fuels creativity, innovation, and the very consciousness that allows us to ponder its complexity. 
  What makes the brain so fascinating is its duality: it is both fragile and resilient, capable of extraordinary feats yet vulnerable to a wide range of disorders. Its 86 billion neurons form networks that enable everything from the rhythmic beating of the heart to the abstract contemplation of art, philosophy, and science. This complexity has driven countless researchers to explore its depths, seeking to understand how such a compact structure can hold the vastness of human thought, memory, and emotion. 
  Throughout history, our understanding of the brain has evolved dramatically. Early civilizations believed that the heart was the seat of intelligence, while the brain was considered secondary. It wasn’t until the work of ancient scholars like Hippocrates and later neurologists such as Thomas Willis and Santiago Ramón y Cajal that the brain was recognized as the epicenter of human experience. Today, advanced imaging technologies allow us to observe the brain in action, mapping areas responsible for speech, movement, and even complex emotions. Yet, for all our progress, we have only begun to scratch the surface of its potential.

  ‘Starting out, I made three dollars an hour; then I made four, then eight. After a year and a half of streaming full-time I was finally making minimum wage. A couple of years after that I was signed to a professional team and advertising products to my audience for $1,000 an hour.’ 
  Streaming video games is now a billion-dollar industry. In 2022, Twitch alone has over 140 million active monthly users, with top players earning millions each year. But success breeds envy, and when big money’s being made, everyone wants a piece. 
  In Before We Go Live, professional streamer Stephen Flavall, aka ‘jorbs’, invites the reader behind the scenes of this new frontier. 
  From the boardrooms of LA to doctors' offices in the Midwest, dealing with trolls and stalkers to mingling with crypto scammers and ruthless opportunists, Before We Go Live is both a true story about the dark realities of streaming and the tale of a deep and enduring friendship. 
  It’s about what happens when real life intersects with entertainment, and learning to act with kindness and humour in an online world full of prejudice and abuse. 
  This audiobook edition is narrated by Ray Chase, voice of Noctis Lucis Caelum, L, and Bruno Buccellatti.
