Sinopsis

Color in Space explores the crucial role of color in understanding the universe, arguing that it's more than just an aesthetic feature. The book investigates how the colors of stars, planets, and cosmic dust reveal their temperature, composition, and motion. For example, the red hue of Mars and the varying colors of stars offer insights into their physical properties.

 
The book begins with the fundamentals of light and its interaction with matter, then progresses to stellar colors and planetary hues. It examines how stellar temperature and chemical composition influence star color, using tools like the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.

 
Later chapters delve into the factors determining the colors of planets and nebulae, such as atmospheric scattering and surface composition. The book also touches on how future telescopes might use color data to find habitable exoplanets.

 
Throughout, Color in Space supports theoretical explanations with observational data from telescopes like Hubble and James Webb. It uniquely integrates theoretical physics with real-world astronomical observations, providing a comprehensive view of how cosmic colors serve as a vital tool in astrophysics and astronomy.

    A New Science of Life

    **The fully revised edition of Rupert Sheldrake's controversial science classic, from the author of the bestselling Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021!**
    
    After chemists crystallised a new chemical for the first time, it became easier and easier to crystallise in laboratories all over the world. After rats at Harvard first escaped from a new kind of water maze, successive generations learned quicker and quicker. Then rats in Melbourne, Australia learned yet faster. Rats with no trained ancestors shared in this improvement.
    
    Rupert Sheldrake sees these processes as examples of morphic resonance. Past forms and activities of organisms, he argues, influence organisms in the present through direct connections across time and space.Individual plants and animals both draw upon and contribute to the collective memory of their species.
    
    Sheldrake, now Director of the Perrott-Warwick Project supported by Trinity College, Cambridge, reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws. Described as 'the best candidate for burning there has been for many years' by Nature on first publication, this updated edition will raise hackles and inspire curiosity in equal measure.

  • From Outer Space to Inner Space - An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds - cover

    From Outer Space to Inner Space...

    The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond. 
    In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.  
    For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.  
    Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.  
    From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.  
    Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.

    Understand how artificial intelligence actually works, from first principles to generative models 
    AI Explained: A Guide for Non-Technical Readers builds understanding of artificial intelligence from first principles rather than diving in at the top. Written by experienced policy and technical experts, the book walks through rules and logic-based approaches, statistical methods, neural networks, machine learning, and generative models in accessible, structured terms. 
    Each major section concludes with a dedicated use-cases chapter grounding abstract concepts in practical scenarios drawn from healthcare, law, and business. Rather than teaching readers how to build or deploy AI, the book answers a more fundamental question: how do these systems achieve the outcomes they produce? Coverage of AI policy, ethics, and societal impact rounds out the treatment, informed directly by the authors' advisory roles with governments and international bodies. Readers will also find:A structured progression from foundational principles through symbolic, statistical, connective, learning, and generative approaches to AIReal-world use cases connecting each branch of AI to familiar scenarios in professional and everyday contextsBalanced coverage of AI ethics, regulation, and societal impact drawn from direct policy advisory experienceAnd more
