  To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
  It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
  But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

  “As different artists sculpt different statues from the same block of marble, different environments produce different characters, even in identical twins.”Evelyn, a geneticist and amateur archeologist, makes a formidable discovery in Israel, the consequence of which is the birth of Christopher and José, identical twins raised apart, one in affluent Sydney, the other in the slums of Buenos Aires. The twins, unaware of each other’s existence or their origin, will meet for a moment only, in the Amazon, adversaries in the battle for the forest. Standing by both twins is Lorena, a medical student who under the claws of a dictatorship organizes the student environmental resistance.A novel whose heroes travel to four continents in search of their identity.How can values such as love, faith, forgiveness and freedom change their lives?What are the limits of science and the brain?Can there be consilience between humans and nature?

  The Physics of Stars - Exploring...

  Stars are the fundamental building blocks of the universe, shaping the evolution of galaxies and influencing cosmic phenomena on vast scales. Understanding their physics requires a detailed study of the forces governing their formation, structure, and lifecycle. Stellar physics combines principles from thermodynamics, nuclear physics, and general relativity to explain the energy production, stability, and eventual fate of stars. Observations across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma rays, provide insights into stellar composition, temperature, and behavior. 
  At the heart of stellar physics is the balance between gravitational collapse and outward pressure. Gravity continuously pulls the stellar material inward, while nuclear fusion generates energy that radiates outward, maintaining equilibrium. This delicate balance determines the longevity of a star, with more massive stars consuming their fuel rapidly, while lower-mass stars burn slowly over billions of years. The life cycle of a star is deeply connected to its initial mass, which dictates its energy output, structure, and eventual transformation into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. 
  Observing stars has been a cornerstone of astronomy for centuries, but modern telescopes and spectroscopy have revolutionized our understanding. Spectroscopy allows scientists to analyze starlight and determine the elements present in a star’s atmosphere. By studying absorption and emission lines, astronomers can infer a star’s composition, temperature, and motion. Advances in observational technology, such as space-based telescopes and high-resolution imaging, provide detailed views of stellar phenomena, revealing dynamic processes such as stellar flares, mass ejections, and pulsations.

  Why Am I Taller? - What Happens...

  What happens in space that causes the body to change? Learn about life in space from astronauts 
  		 
  Is the human body built for Mars? NASA’s studies on the International Space Station show we need to fix a few things before sending people to the Red Planet. Astronauts go into space with good vision and come back needing eyeglasses. Cognition and DNA expression could be affected for years. And then there’s the discomfort of living in a tight space with crewmates, depression, and separation from the people you love.
  		 
  Space doctors are on the case. You’ll meet the first twin to spend a year in space, the woman who racked up three physically challenging spacewalks in between 320 days of confinement, and the cosmonaut who was temporarily stranded on space station Mir while the Soviet Union broke up underneath him. What are we learning about the human body?
  		 
  As astronauts target moon missions and eventual landings on Mars, one of the major questions is how the human body will behave in “partial gravity.” How does the human body change on another world, as opposed to floating freely in microgravity? What can studies on Earth and in space tell us about planetary exploration? These questions will be important to the future of space exploration and to related studies of seniors and people with reduced mobility on Earth.

  Not long ago, it was thought that the brain you were born with was the brain you would die with, and that the brain cells you had at birth were the most you would ever possess. Your brain was thought to be hardwired to function in predetermined ways. It turns out that's not true. Your brain is not hardwired; it's "softwired" by experience. This book shows you how you can rewire parts of the brain to feel more positive about your life, remain calm during stressful times, and improve your social relationships. 
   
   
   
  Written by a leader in the field of Brain-Based Therapy, it teaches you how to activate the parts of your brain that have been underactivated and calm down those areas that have been hyperactivated, so that you feel positive about your life and remain calm during stressful times. You will also learn to improve your memory, boost your mood, have better relationships, and get a good night's sleep. 
   
   
   
  Rewire Your Brain reveals how cutting-edge developments in neuroscience and evidence-based practices can be used to improve your everyday life. Explaining exciting new developments in neuroscience and their applications to daily living, this audiobook will guide you through the process of changing your brain so you can change your life and be free of self-imposed limitations.
