  Climate Denial

  Is it possible to subsidize fossil fuels on the one hand, while at the same time claiming to be committed to the fight against global warming? 
  Is it possible to promote free trade treaties throughout the world while claiming that CO2 emissions must be reduced? 
  Can we use indicators that only take into account market production without taking into account pollution?
  In view of the climate challenge, the answer to these questions should be negative, but unfortunately today it is still positive. In a documented, clear and incisive book, Thomas Porcher and Henri Landes denounce this climate hypocrisy. In the last chapter, they present 10 proposals to meet the climate challenge. 
  Instead of all the great speeches on climate, this book reminds us of the sad reality of recent years—an unprecedented development of polluting energies with unconventional gas and oil, a blind trust in non-existent solutions from the market to fight against climate change, hundreds of free trade treaties being negotiated without climate clauses, inadequate measurement indicators that encourage business as usual.

  In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.

  The Phantom Cosmos - Decoding...

  The universe is a vast expanse filled with enigmas that have intrigued scientists and philosophers for millennia. In the wake of the Big Bang, the cosmos burst into existence, unleashing a torrent of energy and matter that set the stage for the formation of everything we know today. From the very first moments, the universe exhibited a complexity that would eventually lead to the emergence of galaxies, stars, and planets. Yet, amid this wondrous creation, a peculiar and subtle force began to assert its influence—one that would later be identified as dark energy. This mysterious component, largely invisible and poorly understood, is now believed to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe, challenging our conventional understanding of gravity and the evolution of cosmic structures. 
  In the early epochs of the universe, conditions were extremely volatile and unpredictable. Subatomic particles collided with tremendous energy, and the nascent fabric of space-time was in constant flux. As the universe cooled and matter began to coalesce, forces that governed particle interactions and the formation of atoms started to take hold. It was during this formative period that the seeds of cosmic structure were planted, and the universe embarked on a long, gradual journey towards complexity. However, it was also during this time that the presence of dark energy, although not yet recognized, began to subtly influence the behavior of the cosmos. This influence was initially hidden in the chaotic interplay of energy and matter but would later emerge as one of the most critical factors in cosmic evolution.

  A Road Running Southward -...

  In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature. 
   
   
   
  A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

  Buy now to get the main key ideas from Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time 
    
  Time is one of life’s biggest mysteries. In The Order of Time (2017), physicist Carlo Rovelli dives into both simple and complex aspects of time. It is a concept that has been long studied by philosophers, artists, and scientists alike, and our understanding of it has gone through many phases. He explains the basic laws of physics, Einstein’s relativity, quantum theory, and his own work in thermal time and loop quantum gravity. Rovelli offers a range of different rationalizations of time, and his sense of wonder gives time an extraordinarily human aspect.
