  Fully revised edition with updated information on the surviving members of the orca pod.
  In 2014, marine biologist Dr Natalie Sanders joined the crew of the research vessel Silurian to seek out Britain's West Coast Community of orca and study them before we lose them forever. Though this orca pod has delighted scientists and whale watchers for years, we still know relatively little about them, and what we do know comes mostly from citizen science and chance encounters. But what is abundantly clear is that pollution, entanglement, military sonar and climate change continue to have an enormous impact on whales and dolphins and other marine life throughout the world's oceans.
  This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the marine world in this age of climate change. A captivating yet poignant account, it takes the reader from the Western Isles of Scotland to Vancouver Island and elsewhere. It also delves deep into the history of our relations with these beautiful and sentient creatures to explain what their loss means and how we can avoid similar tragedies in the future.

  "In the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: 'remote trout lake,' 'fish up to thirteen pounds,' 'the place the guides fish on their days off,'" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best—explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. The View from Rat Lake deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip.

  "Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison: The Rival Inventors Who Powered the Modern Era" is an enthralling two-in-one volume that unites the remarkable stories of two of history's most extraordinary inventors. Authored by Michael W. Simmons, this composite work weaves together the parallel narratives of Tesla and Edison, whose innovations and rivalry forged the path of the technological age. 
  The first section, derived from "Nikola Tesla: Prophet of The Modern Technological Age," immerses readers in the mysterious and groundbreaking world of Nikola Tesla. Renowned for inventions like the induction motor and contributions to electrical engineering, Tesla's life was filled with achievements that bordered on the magical. This book takes readers from Tesla's extraordinary childhood experiences in Croatia, through his fierce competition with Edison, to his ambitious projects that revolutionized technology and occasionally, like in New York, almost literally shook the world. Relationships with key figures such as Mark Twain, J.P. Morgan, and Albert Einstein are explored, revealing the depth of Tesla's impact in various spheres. 
  Transitioning to "Thomas Edison: American Inventor," the second section of the book, readers encounter the quintessential story of American innovation. Edison's journey from conducting experiments in his youth to inventing the phonograph and the incandescent light bulb is a testament to his inventive genius. Through Edison’s personal writings and contemporary accounts, the book vividly brings to life the experience of witnessing Edison's inventions for the first time. His friendships with notable individuals like Henry Ford and his wartime efforts offer a comprehensive view of a man whose inventions illuminated the world. 
  Together, these stories form "Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison a compelling narrative.

  The Superluminal Universe -...

  The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Régis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second). At these extreme speeds, the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil's work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, provided that we allow for the possibility of a double reality: that alongside our sub-luminous universe, which follows the law of time, is a superluminal universe. This second reality is another universe, complementary to and symmetrical with ours, governed by superluminal space-time in which light moves 300,000 km/s to infinity. 
   
   
   
  In the superluminal universe, everything is instantaneous. It is possible to conceive of a superluminal being capable of moving from one end of space to the other. This parallel universe consists only of information and consciousness: all information (past, present, future) and the consciousness of all humanity. Professor Dutheil's thesis joins the intuitions of ancient philosophers with current quantum physics to blow our current notions of time, of past and present, of the nature of consciousness, of birth and death right out of the water.
