    The growing concern about global environmental change and human impacts on the planet has led to the emergence of a broad field of study on the 'sustainability' of human societies. The term's common usage can be traced back to the advent of the Earth Summit in 1992 when 'sustainable development' was broadly embraced by the international community as an ostensibly win-win proposition for economic development, social inclusion, and ecological conservation. Yet both the natural science underpinnings and the social implications of a quest for sustainability have been diffuse. There is a need for a coherent synthesis which draws out key themes from both natural and social analysis of the concept.This Very Short Introduction begins by introducing the concept of sustainability and how it has developed. The central chapters consider four key concepts crucial to sustainability: a) material and energy flows in consumption and production; b) technological interventions for a sustainable society; c) tipping points, and resilience in natural and social systems; and d) renewability and circularity in the economy. In the concluding chapter, Saleem H. Ali explores political means of managing anthropogenic change for a more sustainable society.

    Common diseases have become an integral part of the modern healthcare narrative, affecting millions of people globally. Despite medical advancements, misconceptions and myths about these conditions persist, leading to confusion, fear, and misinformation. Understanding the truth about common diseases is not only empowering but also essential for making informed decisions about personal and public health. 
    Historically, diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer were often seen as inevitable consequences of aging or genetics. However, emerging research has revealed a far more nuanced picture. While genetic predispositions play a role, lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and even societal systems significantly contribute to the prevalence and severity of these conditions. For instance, unhealthy dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and chronic stress are now recognized as major contributors to many non-communicable diseases. 
    One of the biggest challenges in addressing common diseases lies in separating fact from fiction. Misinformation is rampant, fueled by sensationalized media reports, outdated medical advice, and commercial interests. Claims like "sugar causes diabetes" or "fats are the enemy of heart health" oversimplify complex issues and can lead to misguided health decisions. By critically examining these narratives, we can uncover the realities that underpin these conditions and dispel harmful myths.

    This book bundle explores one of the universe’s most mysterious and fundamental forces: gravity. In Gravity’s Ghost, uncover how this invisible force holds galaxies together and sculpts the structure of the cosmos—yet still defies complete understanding. Discover how gravity bends light, alters time, and reveals itself in the deepest corners of space. 
    In Gravity’s Hidden Partner, the story shifts toward the unknown allies that amplify gravity’s strange behavior—like dark matter and dark energy. Scientists suspect that 95% of the universe is invisible, yet these unseen forces help explain anomalies in galactic rotation and expansion. Could something even more exotic be at play behind the scenes? 
    Finally, Light’s Opponent looks at the eternal cosmic struggle between gravity and light. Learn how gravity can trap light in black holes, distort it through gravitational lensing, and stretch its path across the universe. With every discovery, we realize just how much gravity shapes not only the cosmos—but our understanding of reality itself.
