James Webb Space Telescope...

Martin K. Ettington

The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe.It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe.This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean.We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe.There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm.We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation.I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.

Why We Need to Be Wild - One...

Jessica Carew Kraft

A bold examination of how Paleolithic wisdom could solve our 21st century problems 
 
Jessica Carew Kraft, an urban wife and mom of two, was firmly rooted in the modern world, complete with a high-powered career in tech and the sneaking suspicion that her lifestyle was preventing her and her family from truly thriving.  
 
Determined to find a better way, Jessica quit her job and set out to learn about “rewilding” from people who reject the comforts and convenience of civilization by using ancient tools and skills to survive. Along the way, she learned how to turn sticks into fire, stones into axes, and  
bones into tools for harvesting wild food—and found an entire community walking the path back from our technologyfocused, anxiety-ridden way of life to a simpler, more human experience. 
 
Weaving deep research and reportage with her own personal journey, Jessica tells the remarkable story of the potential benefits rewilding has for us and our planet and questions what it truly means to be a human in today’s world. Why We Need to Be Wild is a thought-provoking,  
unforgettable narrative that illuminates how we survived in the past, how we live now, and how each of us can choose to thrive in the years ahead.
