  “Henderson teaches us how to wonder anew with a new vision of science illuminated by a rich range of literature, philosophy, art, and music.” —Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of Dutch Light 
   
  We live in a world that is known, every corner thoroughly explored. But has this knowledge cost us the ability to wonder? Wonder, Caspar Henderson argues, is at its most supremely valuable in just such a world because it reaffirms our humanity and gives us hope for the future. That’s the power of wonder, and that’s what we should aim to cultivate in our lives. But what are the wonders of the modern world? 
   
  Henderson’s brilliant exploration borrows from the form of one of the oldest and most widely known sources of wonder: maps. Large, detailed mappae mundi invited people in medieval Europe to vividly imagine places and possibilities they had never seen before: manticores with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the stinging tail of a scorpion; tribes of one-eyed men who fought griffins for diamonds; and fearsome Scythian warriors who drank the blood of their enemies from their skulls. A New Map of Wonders explores these and other realms of the wonderful, in different times and cultures and in the present day, taking readers from Aboriginal Australian landscapes to sacred sites in Great Britain, all the while keeping sight questions such as the cognitive basis of wonder and the relationship between wonder and science. 
   
  Beautifully illustrated and written with wit and moral complexity, this sequel to The Book of Barely Imagined Beings is a fascinating account of the power of wonder and an unforgettable meditation on its importance to our future.

  It All Began with Bitcoin!The revolution is now unstoppable!Which cryptocurrency will become the new dollar?  The market of cryptocurrencies has now reached over 350 billion dollars in evaluation. It is a remarkable achievement since now this industry is bigger than McDonald's and Pepsi. If this phenomenon could be left outside the media a few years ago, now it is impossible to deny that there is a true revolution in the act.  If you have never heard about the term "cryptocurrency", you might be wondering what it is. A popular definition states that a cryptocurrency is a currency that operates trough a decentralized system (the blockchain), is anonymous for the most part and it is not backed up by physical coins.   It is easy to understand why so much attention is going into this space, especially since Bitcoin crossed 10,000$ in November. The general public, however, often is not aware of the fact that there are more than 1300 cryptocurrencies in circulation and that most of the are going to disappear in the next few months. There is this aura around cryptos that either showcase the next "big thing" or the quintessence of evil. In reality, as it happens most of the time, the truth stands in the middle. It is true that there are projects based on the blockchain that are scams, but this does not mean to underestimate the value of cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Neo, just to name a few of the meaningful applications that have seen the light in the past two years.  With his flawless style and his profound knowledge, Corey managed to put together a simple yet efficient approach to introduce people to the world of blockchain and cryptos.
