  The Origin and Development of...

  The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory is a concise and illuminating journey through one of the most important ideas in human thought: the nature of matter itself. 
  Written in the early twentieth century, Maynard Shipley traces the evolution of atomic theory from its philosophical beginnings in the ancient world to its emergence as a cornerstone of modern science. Beginning with the Pythagoreans and early Greek and Indian thinkers, Shipley explores how number, geometry, and speculation first shaped humanity’s attempts to understand the structure of reality. 
  The narrative follows the development of atomism through Leucippus and Democritus, examining atoms and the void, causal necessity, sensory perception, and the physical properties of shape, size, and arrangement. Shipley contrasts these ideas with competing schools of thought, including the Eleatics’ denial of motion and Anaxagoras’ theory of “seeds,” before turning to Epicurus and Lucretius, whose writings defended atomism against superstition and divine design. 
  In its final chapters, the book connects ancient philosophy to modern science, charting the revival of atomism through thinkers such as Descartes and Gassendi and culminating in John Dalton’s quantitative laws of chemistry. Shipley concludes by linking these early models to modern discoveries—electrons, nuclei, isotopes, and atomic number—showing how a speculative idea became a measurable scientific reality. 
  Clear, thoughtful, and accessible, The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory offers a timeless overview of how human reason slowly uncovered the hidden structure of matter—and laid the foundations of chemistry and physics as we know them.

  All My Worldly Joy - A Memoir of...

   An intimate and compelling memoir of how a traumatic journey into motherhood led one woman to revisit the myriad mental-health assessments she had received growing up, until she discovered that she'd been autistic all along. 
  
  
  Laura Richmond had no idea that childbirth could result in post-traumatic stress until she experienced it for herself. After a harrowing labour, she was admitted to a psychiatric mother and baby unit together with her six-week-old son. Having been funnelled into mental health services almost twenty years earlier, Laura had tried every medication going and everyone had different views on what her problem was. She'd found that sometimes no one – however qualified they are or however deeply they care – really knows what to say or how to help. She was increasingly desperate, until the birth of her son sparked a sequence of events that would change everything.
  
  
  
  Laura retraces her steps through all of this. In doing so, she reflects on the tensions and absurdities within modern mental health care, the ways in which trauma shapes us and directs us, and how we can learn to trust ourselves as parents and as people.
  
  
   All My Worldly Joy  is a story of self-discovery and profound love. It is a story of how one woman's life has been transformed, and of the thousand tiny joys her son brings every day.

  Between 1971 and 1998, the networks the modern world was being built on had no defences worth the name. This is the story of ten cases that changed that. 
  In 1971, a blind eight-year-old in Boston discovered he could whistle into a telephone and place free long-distance calls. In 1986, an astronomer at Berkeley traced a 75-cent accounting discrepancy to a West German intelligence operation. In 1988, a Cornell graduate student released a program that took down ten per cent of the internet by accident. In 1995, a Russian mathematician with no internet connection at home moved ten million dollars out of Citibank. In 1998, the United States Deputy Secretary of Defense told a Senate committee that the most coordinated attack on Pentagon networks ever recorded had been conducted by two teenagers in California. 
  The Hacker Chronicles is a narrative history of cybercrime, drawn from court records, contemporary press accounts, published memoirs, and the established historical literature. The ten cases that follow — Captain Crunch, the 414s, the Cuckoo's Egg, the Morris Worm, the Citibank heist, Solar Sunrise, and four others — are the cases that made cybersecurity necessary as a discipline. 
  The series continues in Volume Two: Going Pro (1999-2010), Volume Three: Going Geopolitical (2010-2020), and Volume Four: Going Strategic (2020-2025).

  "Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" is a seminal work by Albert Einstein, first published in 1916, designed to explain the groundbreaking theories that reshaped our understanding of the universe. In this accessible text, Einstein introduces readers to the Special Theory of Relativity, which addresses the relationship between space and time, and the General Theory of Relativity, which expands these concepts to include gravity as the curvature of space-time caused by mass and energy. Written for the layperson, Einstein employs clear language and thought experiments to elucidate complex ideas such as time dilation, length contraction, and the equivalence principle, making this book a cornerstone of modern physics and a must-read for anyone interested in the fundamental nature of reality.
