  Ex Machina - The God Experiment

  The philosophical exploration of reality has fascinated humanity since Plato's Allegory of the Cave and has reached new dimensions through technological and intellectual breakthroughs. From Descartes' skepticism of sensory perceptions to Daniel Dennett's provocative "illusionism," the nature of our conscious experiences is continually called into question. Yet, while neuroscience defends consciousness as real, the debate remains alive, shaping scientific and societal discourses.
  With George Berkeley's subjective idealism, which defines reality as a product of perception, and the groundbreaking concepts of Mach and Einstein, our understanding of space, time, and existence has been radically transformed. These philosophical foundations pave the way for one of the most intriguing questions of our time: Are we living in a simulation? What was once the realm of science fiction now occupies the forefront of cutting-edge research inspired by quantum physics, and the theories of computation and information.In their Scientific-Philosophical work – SciPhi – Anders Indset and Florian Neukart explore the hypothesis that our universe might be part of a chain of simulations – a concept with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of existence, theology, and the laws governing the cosmos. Together they examine the roles of computability, entropy, and the boundaries of physical laws within this chain of simulations. Could a collapse occur if resources are exhausted? And what does this mean for the notion of an infinite, external entity?
  With a clear focus on experimental approaches, Indset and Neukart analyze how we might uncover evidence about the nature of our reality. Although computational boundaries are still to be overcome,the authors, through observations and analysis on the simulation theories, open new perspectives on the profound questions of existence – while acknowledging the limits of current scientific knowledge.
  A compelling and profound book that encourages readers to think beyond the nature of reality and redefine the mystery of our existence.

  "Timely." Booklist 
  When Nina Jankowicz's first book on online disinformation was profiled in The New Yorker, she expected attention but not an avalanche of abuse and harassment, predominantly from men, online. 
  All women in politics, journalism and academia now face untold levels of harassment and abuse in online spaces. Together with the world's leading extremism researchers, Jankowicz wrote one of the definitive reports on this troubling phenomenon. 
  Drawing on rigorous research into the treatment of Kamala Harris - the first woman vice-president - and other political and public figures, Nina also uses her own experiences to provide a step-by-step plan for dealing with harassment, abuse, doxing and disinformation in online spaces. 
  The result is a must-read for researchers, journalists and all women with a profile in the online space.

  Greenhouse Planet - How Rising...

  The carbon dioxide that industrial civilization spews into the atmosphere has dramatic consequences for life on Earth that extend beyond climate change. CO2 levels directly affect plant growth, in turn affecting any kind of life that depends on plants—in other words, everything. 
   
   
   
  Greenhouse Planet reveals the stakes of increased CO2 for plants, people, and ecosystems—from crop yields to seasonal allergies and from wildfires to biodiversity. The veteran plant biologist Lewis H. Ziska describes the importance of plants for food, medicine, and culture and explores the complex ways higher CO2 concentrations alter the systems on which humanity relies. He explains the science of how increased CO2 affects various plant species and addresses the politicization and disinformation surrounding these facts. 
   
   
   
  Ziska confronts the claim that "CO2 is plant food," a longtime conservative talking point. While not exactly false, it is deeply misleading. CO2 doesn't just make "good" plants grow; it makes all plants grow. It makes poison ivy more poisonous, kudzu more prolific, cheatgrass more flammable. CO2 stimulates some species more than others: weeds fare particularly well and become harder to control. Many crops grow more abundantly but also become less nutritious. And the further effects of climate change will be formidable.

  Midwifery - The Art and Science...

  Midwifery is a practice that has been integral to childbirth for centuries, evolving from ancient traditions to a sophisticated combination of art and science. At its core, midwifery is the profession of providing care to women during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. The midwife’s role extends far beyond delivering babies; it encompasses emotional, physical, and educational support, ensuring that the birthing experience is as safe and empowering as possible for mothers and their families. In many ways, midwifery represents a holistic approach to birth, integrating medical knowledge with compassionate care and respect for the natural process of labor. 
    
  The art of midwifery is founded on intuition, experience, and a deep understanding of the needs of women throughout their reproductive journey. Midwives possess a unique ability to read the subtle cues of a woman's body, supporting her during labor with techniques that promote comfort, relaxation, and confidence. Whether through guided breathing, massage, or providing words of encouragement, the midwife’s role often transcends the clinical to become a deeply personal and emotional experience for both the birthing person and their support system. 
    
  On the other hand, midwifery is also a science, deeply rooted in medical knowledge and evidence-based practices. Midwives are trained to monitor the health of both mother and baby, assess potential risks, and intervene when necessary. They are skilled in recognizing complications and know when to collaborate with obstetricians or other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes. This balance between intuition and medical expertise allows midwives to provide a level of care that is both compassionate and scientifically sound.
