Summary

This cosmological work presents a geocentric model of the universe, dividing the cosmos into the sublunary sphere of change and the eternal, unchanging celestial realm. Aristotle argues for the spherical shape of the earth and the circular motion of the heavenly bodies, composed of a unique fifth element called aether. The text explores the nature of weight, movement, and the finite structure of the universe. It represents a comprehensive attempt to map the physical architecture of the heavens and the laws that govern them.

    Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms.
    So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate?
    Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages - from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists.
    In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.
    The aim of this work is to bring together and organize the contentions of serious students of plant life who argue that there are objective grounds for plant psychology.
    Chaste Mimosa: The Psychology of Plants is a compelling and essential book for all thinkers, students and teachers of psychology, philosophy, physiology, plus all disciplines related to the study of plants.

    For millennia, humanity has sought the secret to defying death. Only in recent decades, however, have we begun to unravel the complexities of aging, and conceived plausible technology paths to solving it. 
    Immortality or Death is a celebration of the remarkable strides made in aging research. This book offers a profound, comprehensive, and meticulously detailed exploration of our current understanding of aging, alongside the most advanced efforts to slow it down. With a critical eye, it debunks the allure of modern biohacking—the “false grail”—and shines a spotlight on the most promising scientific directions. Drawing on the systematization of over a thousand studies and research articles, Immortality or Death provides a balanced perspective, including healthy skepticism of pseudoscientific claims and optimism inspired by real scientific progress. 
    Beyond its scientific depth, Immortality or Death is an ode to human life itself, challenging the outdated notion that the pursuit of immortality or agelessness is the domain of mad tyrants or unethical scientists. The book champions this quest as a noble and deeply human endeavor, rooted in compassion and curiosity. Finally, it outlines both a scientific roadmap and social strategies to accelerate progress in humanity's ongoing battle against the injustice of death, encouraging readers to imagine a future where aging is no longer inevitable.
