  Adoption - Building a Safe and...

  Adoption is a profound and life-altering experience, one that reshapes the lives of both children and parents. It is a journey that begins with the desire to provide a child with the safety, love, and support they need to grow, while also offering parents the opportunity to nurture and build a family. Adoption is unique because it is not just a legal process, but an emotional and relational journey that involves new beginnings, hopes, and dreams for the future. 
  For adoptive parents, the decision to adopt can be filled with excitement, but also with uncertainty and challenges. The process itself can be complex, involving a range of legal, emotional, and logistical steps. It requires careful preparation, openness to learning, and a deep understanding of the child’s needs, which may include navigating loss, identity, and the need for belonging. Adoptive parents often face questions about how to best bond with their child, how to create a secure and nurturing environment, and how to build a lasting and trusting relationship. 
  For the child, adoption is a journey of its own. It involves the experience of joining a new family, which may include adjustments to a new home, new caregivers, and, in some cases, a new culture or environment. Children may struggle with feelings of loss or confusion, and the process of building trust and attachment can take time. However, with the right guidance, care, and patience, adoption can also provide children with a fresh start—an opportunity to experience love, stability, and the sense of belonging that every child deserves.

  Out of Time and Out of Place: A...

  “Time travel offends our sense of cause and effect - but maybe the universe doesn't insist on cause and effect.” - Edward M. Lerner, physicist and author  
  	We take time for granted as it passes during every moment of our existence. Other things may change, but time remains constant and predictable. The past, the present, and the future exist within a harmonious, reliable, and never-changing system. Or at least that’s how it seems… 
  	It was Albert Einstein who, in 1905, first theorized that time might not be quite as straightforward as that. In one of the most influential papers on physics ever published[1], he proposed something called “time dilatation.” This suggested that time was neither fixed nor constant and that the passage of time was related to the relative speed of the observer. The closer an object approached the speed of light, the more notable this effect was. For example, if it were possible to build an interstellar craft capable of reaching speeds that approached the speed of light, the passengers on that ship might experience the passage of a single year during a voyage, but when they returned to Earth, they might find that dozens of years had passed on the planet. 
  	That was a truly revolutionary idea back in 1905, and it wasn’t until the 1960s that technology had advanced to the point that it was possible to conduct experiments to check Einstein’s theory by measurement. Those experiments and subsequent tests proved that he was entirely correct. Even in 1908, new theories proposed that time was the fourth dimension of spacetime and that it wasn’t fixed at all but governed by the same laws of relativity that applied to other aspects of physics. 
  	These were exciting developments, and current theories of physics have taken this idea even further, suggesting that both space and time are “emergent.”

  Fuel and Power - Energy Trade...

  This is a very timely study of Russia's development into a global energy power from the Russian Revolution to the present day. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Russia emerged not only as a key producer but also as one of the world's leading exporters of oil. Russia's transformation into a modern global power was connected to its ability to make use of its vast natural resources and produce energy in increasing quantities. While the development of Russia's energy industry went hand in hand with a profound sociopolitical and economic transformation, the book also tells the story of international cooperation and competition, transnational exchanges, and transborder interdependencies. Through energy exports, Russia shaped global energy flows and connections; at the same time, the growth of international trade impacted the views and decisions of Russian leaders, affecting the fabric of the country's foreign relations and, ultimately, the course of Russian history.
