Transform Your Life And Save The...

Jeremy Griffith

This Second Edition of Transform Your Life And Save The World was published in 2019 and amended in 2021. The book is supported by a very informative website at www.humancondition.com 
The world is in crisis! What is the solution? Ultimately, we have to find the redeeming, and thus transforming, understanding of our psychologically troubled human condition. And it is precisely that dreamed-of insight, and its now desperately needed transformation of our lives, that Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith presents in this book. 
Titled Transform Your Life And Save The World - Through The Dreamed Of Arrival Of The Rehabilitating Biological Explanation Of The Human Condition, this book is a very short but powerful condensation of Griffith’s definitive treatise of the human condition that is presented in his book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition. 
The genesis of Transform Your Life And Save The World lay in Griffith’s address at the June 2016 launch of FREEDOM at the Royal Geographical Society in London. Commencing with very brief extracts from Tim Macartney-Snape’s Introduction at the launch, and Sir Bob Geldof’s keynote address, it goes on to summarise FREEDOM’s content in 3 powerful chapters: ‘The Dishonest Biology’, ‘The Truthful Biology’, and ‘The Resulting Transformation Of The Human Race’. 
As Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, has said, “I have no doubt this biological explanation of the human condition is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.”

Mechanical Engineering -...

Phil Gilberts

Mechanical technology encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques and tools used in the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. This field merges principles from physics, engineering, and materials science to create and improve machinery and devices that perform specific functions.
The evolution of mechanical technology is a testament to human ingenuity, marked by significant innovations that have transformed societies and industries.
In ancient times, early humans utilized basic tools such as levers, wedges, and inclined planes to aid in tasks. The invention of the wheel around 3500 BCE revolutionized transport and labor. Ancient civilizations also harnessed the power of water wheels and windmills to provide mechanical power for grinding grain and pumping water.Looking towards the future, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are being integrated into mechanical systems, leading to smarter and more adaptive technologies. There is also a growing focus on sustainability, driving the development of energy-efficient machinery and renewable energy systems. Additionally, 3D printing is transforming production processes, allowing for rapid prototyping and custom manufacturing.
The field of mechanical technology continues to evolve, driven by human creativity and the relentless pursuit of efficiency and innovation. Each historical milestone builds upon previous knowledge, propelling the field towards new and exciting advancements.

The Dolphin Who Saved Me - How...

Melody Horrill

"An inspiring book about love in its purest form."—JANE GOODALL, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace 
 
 
 
When Melody Horrill arrived at university she was a troubled and lost young woman, hiding behind a carefully crafted exterior. She had experienced a childhood of emotional and physical trauma mainly at the hands of her violent father that was as damaging as it was brutal. 
 
 
 
One day Melody volunteered to help her lecturer monitor pods of river dolphins nearby. There for the first time she encountered Jock, a solitary dolphin with a maimed fin, who lived apart from the highly social pods. Melody was to form a bond with Jock that gave her the key to freeing herself from the demons of her own past, and their extraordinary friendship was the start of a long-term mission to try to save the river dolphins. 
 
 
 
Beautifully written and filled with insight and compassion, Melody's memoir details her life-changing friendship with the river dolphins, and how Jock helped her to heal.

Astronomy - Exoplanets Planetary...

Steff Jaywan

This book consists of 3 titles, which are the following: 
Exoplanets - Exploring exoplanets opens up a realm of possibilities for understanding the vastness of the cosmos. With over 4,000 confirmed exoplanets discovered to date, each new finding offers a glimpse into the incredible diversity of worlds that exist beyond our solar system. 
Planetary Formation - Planetary formation is a captivating process that unfolds over millions to billions of years, sculpting the celestial bodies that populate our cosmos. It begins within the swirling embrace of a protoplanetary disk, a vast expanse of gas and dust leftover from the birth of a new star. Within this cosmic crucible, tiny grains of dust collide and coalesce, forming larger and larger aggregates known as planetesimals. Through the relentless pull of gravity, these planetesimals grow into protoplanets, embryonic worlds with the potential to one day become full-fledged planets. 
Stellar Evolution - Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution.
