  Terra Incognita - Probing the...

  To document the unknown is to navigate a delicate and often treacherous path. It is an undertaking that demands curiosity and courage, tempered by discipline and respect for the subject at hand. When the unknown takes the form of a remote, enigmatic island, the challenges multiply, and the journey becomes as much about understanding ourselves as it is about uncovering the mysteries of the place. 
  One of the primary obstacles is the inherent unpredictability of the venture. An island untouched by mainstream exploration holds its secrets tightly. Its terrain might defy navigation, its climate could shift without warning, and its ecosystems may present risks to even the most prepared. In such circumstances, even the best-laid plans can unravel, requiring constant adaptation. To face these uncertainties is to embrace the idea that success is not guaranteed, and setbacks are part of the process. 
  Another challenge lies in balancing observation with interpretation. A place this unique invites wonder and speculation, but separating fact from fiction is essential. Legends, often steeped in cultural heritage, must be approached with sensitivity, while scientific observations require rigorous validation. There is always the temptation to romanticize the unknown, but doing so risks misrepresenting the truth. The challenge, then, is to honor both the scientific integrity of the exploration and the intangible allure that makes the island so captivating.

  Dazzling photographs and images from space of our planet's nightlights have captivated public attention for decades. In such images, patterns are immediately seen based on the presence or absence of light: a distinct coastline, bodies of water recognizable by their dark silhouettes, and the faint tendrils of roads and highways emanating from the brilliant blobs of light that are our modern, well-lit cities. For nearly 25 years, satellite images of Earth at night have served as a fundamental research tool, while also stoking public curiosity. These images paint an expansive and revealing picture, showing how humans have illuminated and shaped the planet in profound ways since the invention of the light bulb 140 years ago.

  A New Science of Life

  **The fully revised edition of Rupert Sheldrake's controversial science classic, from the author of the bestselling Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021!**
  
  After chemists crystallised a new chemical for the first time, it became easier and easier to crystallise in laboratories all over the world. After rats at Harvard first escaped from a new kind of water maze, successive generations learned quicker and quicker. Then rats in Melbourne, Australia learned yet faster. Rats with no trained ancestors shared in this improvement.
  
  Rupert Sheldrake sees these processes as examples of morphic resonance. Past forms and activities of organisms, he argues, influence organisms in the present through direct connections across time and space.Individual plants and animals both draw upon and contribute to the collective memory of their species.
  
  Sheldrake, now Director of the Perrott-Warwick Project supported by Trinity College, Cambridge, reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws. Described as 'the best candidate for burning there has been for many years' by Nature on first publication, this updated edition will raise hackles and inspire curiosity in equal measure.

  National Parks Forever - Fifty...

  Two leaders of the National Park Service provide a front-row seat to the disastrous impact of partisan politics over the past fifty years—and offer a bold vision for the parks’ future. 
    
  The US National Parks, what environmentalist and historian Wallace Stegner called America’s “best idea,” are under siege. Since 1972, partisan political appointees in the Department of the Interior have offered two conflicting views of the National Park Service (NPS): one vision emphasizes preservation and science-based decision-making, and another prioritizes economic benefits and privatization. These politically driven shifts represent a pernicious, existential threat to the very future of our parks. 
    
  For the past fifty years, brothers Jonathan B. and T. Destry Jarvis have worked both within and outside NPS as leaders and advocates. National Parks Forever interweaves their two voices to show how our parks must be protected from those who would open them to economic exploitation, while still allowing generations to explore and learn in them. Their history also details how Congress and administration appointees have used budget and staffing cuts to sabotage NPS’s ability to manage the parks and even threatened their existence. Drawing on their experience, Jarvis and Jarvis make a bold and compelling proposal: that it is time for NPS to be removed from the Department of the Interior and made an independent agency, similar to the Smithsonian Institution, giving NPS leaders the ability to manage park resources and plan our parks’ protection, priorities, and future.
