  The Big Teal

  ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.

  When Derek Yu released Spelunky for free in 2008, his roguelike-inspired platformer took the indie game community by storm with its combination of classic platform mechanics, extreme difficulty, and random level generation. Four years later, Spelunky's HD remake went on to become PC Gamer's Game of the Year and earn perfect scores from Polygon and Eurogamer. But how is a "perfect" game made? 
   
    
   
  Spelunky is Boss Fight's first autobiographical book: the story of a game's creation as told by its creator. Using his own game as a vehicle, Derek Yu discusses such wide-ranging topics as randomization, challenge, indifferent game worlds, player feedback, development team dynamics, and what's required to actually finish a game. Grab some ropes, a mattock, and your favorite pug—this book is going to dig deep.

  Cosmic Frontiers - The New...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In the 21st century, astronomy has entered a new age—not just of discovery, but of wonder. 
  Cosmic Frontiers journeys through the most profound questions now emerging from modern science: 
  Why do galaxies form earlier than they should? What is dark matter, dark energy, and the quantum fabric of reality? Is life common among the stars—or is consciousness itself a cosmic phenomenon? 
  From the James Webb Space Telescope’s revelations of ancient galaxies to the search for biosignatures on distant exoplanets, from the detection of gravitational waves to the mysteries of quantum gravity and the multiverse, this book weaves together science, philosophy and the human spirit into a single cosmic narrative. 
  Written in vivid, poetic prose, Cosmic Frontiers is not only about what we have discovered—it is about what we still don’t understand and why those unanswered questions may be the most important of all. 
  For readers who loved Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, The Order of Time, or Cosmos, this is a visionary exploration of where science meets meaning — at the edge of the known universe.

  Theoretical Physics - Exploring...

  Theoretical physics is the foundation of our understanding of the universe, providing the mathematical framework that describes physical laws and fundamental interactions. Unlike experimental physics, which relies on observation and experimentation, theoretical physics develops models and equations that predict and explain phenomena, often extending beyond what can currently be tested. From Newton’s laws to Einstein’s theories and quantum mechanics, the field has evolved to encompass a vast range of concepts that shape modern science. 
  Mathematics plays a crucial role in theoretical physics, serving as the language through which physical principles are expressed. Equations such as Newton’s second law, Maxwell’s equations, and Schrödinger’s equation provide precise descriptions of motion, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics, respectively. The ability to abstractly represent nature through mathematical formalisms allows physicists to derive new predictions and unify disparate concepts. For example, Einstein’s field equations of general relativity describe how mass and energy curve spacetime, leading to predictions of gravitational waves and black holes, both of which were later confirmed through experiments. 
  A key principle in theoretical physics is symmetry, which governs many of the fundamental laws of nature. Symmetries in physical systems often correspond to conservation laws, a relationship formalized by Noether’s theorem. For instance, the symmetry of time invariance leads to the conservation of energy, while spatial symmetry results in the conservation of momentum.
