  The universe is a vast and enigmatic expanse, filled with countless mysteries that have intrigued scientists and philosophers for centuries. One of the most profound discoveries of modern cosmology is that the universe is not only expanding but doing so at an accelerating rate. This revelation has reshaped our understanding of the cosmos and introduced the concept of dark energy as a dominant force driving this acceleration. 
    
  In this book, we embark on a journey through the history of cosmological thought, from the early observations that hinted at an expanding universe to the groundbreaking discoveries that revealed its acceleration. We will explore the role of the cosmological constant, a term introduced by Einstein in his equations of General Relativity, which has come to be associated with dark energy. 
    
  We begin with a foundational understanding of the universe's expansion, delving into the Big Bang theory and the key observations that support it. From there, we examine the pivotal role of the cosmological constant and its implications for the structure and fate of the universe. 
    
  As we navigate through the complexities of dark energy and its various theoretical models, we will also address the challenges and alternative theories that scientists are exploring to explain this cosmic acceleration. Finally, we will consider the future of cosmological research, highlighting the ongoing quests to unravel the mysteries that still elude us.

  Have you ever looked at the effects of climate change and the apathy of so many around you and wondered, "What are we missing here?" 
   
   
   
  Climate activist Kyle Meyaard-Schaap understands this feeling from personal experience. But in his years of speaking to and equipping Christians to work for climate action, he's seen the trend begin to shift. More and more young Christians are waking up to the realities of climate change. They want to help, but they're not sure how. 
   
   
   
  Through stories from the field, theological and scriptural exploration, and practical advice, Meyaard-Schaap offers hope to Christians paralyzed by the scale of the crisis, helping us turn our paralysis into meaningful action. Following Jesus in a Warming World is a field guide for Christian climate action—one grounded not in a sense of guilt or drudgery, but in the joy of caring for creation.

  The first hopeful book about climate change, The Future Earth shows readers how to reverse the short- and long-term effects of climate change over the next three decades. 
  The basics of climate science are easy. We know it is entirely human-caused. Which means its solutions will be similarly human-led. In The Future Earth, leading climate change advocate and weather-related journalist Eric Holthaus (“the Rebel Nerd of Meteorology”—Rolling Stone) offers a radical vision of our future, specifically how to reverse the short- and long-term effects of climate change over the next three decades. Anchored by world-class reporting, interviews with futurists, climatologists, biologists, economists, and climate change activists, it shows what the world could look like if we implemented radical solutions on the scale of the crises we face.  
  What could happen if we reduced carbon emissions by 50 percent in the next decade?What could living in a city look like in 2030?How could the world operate in 2040, if the proposed Green New Deal created a 100 percent net carbon-free economy in the United States? 
  This is the book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the current state of our environment. Hopeful and prophetic, The Future Earth invites us to imagine how we can reverse the effects of climate change in our own lifetime and encourages us to enter a deeper relationship with the earth as conscientious stewards and to re-affirm our commitment to one another in our shared humanity.

  The Dawn of Mind - How Matter...

  Although consciousness is at the very center of who we are, its exact nature continues to confound modern science. From where does consciousness originate? At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds? Many assume that consciousness is a product of our complex brains, a product of evolution—and yet, there is no evolutionary reason that a mechanical function of the brain should allow us to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or become intoxicated with the smell of rain on dry earth. If consciousness is not the product of sophisticated human brains, might the nonhuman living world be conscious? If so, where does that place us in relation to the rest of life on Earth—and what does this imply about our domination and plundering of the natural world for resources? Dr. James Cooke is no stranger to intricate and existential questions such as these, and he confronts them head-on in his compelling, inventive, revolutionary new book, The Dawn of Mind: How Matter Became Conscious and Alive. Weaving together cutting-edge science and the contemplative insights that arise from mystical experience, as occurs with meditation and the emerging therapeutic paradigm of psychedelic medicine, Cooke radically redraws our understanding of what it truly means to be who we are.
