  The Honey Trap - How the Good...

  Dana L. Church

  The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
   
   
   
  Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
   
   
   
  With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.

  What Survives - What New Science...

  A provocative, groundbreaking exploration of humanity's deepest question: what happens after we die?If you've ever stood beside someone who just died—a parent, a friend, a pet—you know: that being isn't there anymore. The body becomes an abandoned shell, there in form yet hollow of what gave it meaning. What happened when they died?When Robert Lanza's sister died he did what any scientist would do: he looked for answers. In What Survives, he explores what new science—from biology to physics—is beginning to reveal about death and what survives it.Your brain runs on roughly 20 watts of power—a firefly's glow sustaining everything you are: every memory, every love, every flash of awareness. For a century, science insisted that when your heart stops, the light goes out. There is no soul. Death is the end.Now, for the first time in human history, we have evidence suggesting otherwise—arriving from experiments that won the 2025 and 2022 Nobel Prizes, and from new discoveries about observers and the nature of reality itself. The death we fear—oblivion, lights out, the end—may be an illusion born of biological limitation, not physical law.Lanza builds this case through a remarkable life in science—from a gambler's son to working alongside B.F. Skinner, Jonas Salk, and Nobel laureates. Through the losses that have shaped his life—from his mentors to his dog Max—he shows why your consciousness persists, why your pets survive, and why it may be the deepest truth science has ever uncovered.For anyone who has lost someone they loved—or feared their own mortality—What Survives offers hope grounded in science, not just faith.

  Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
   
   
    
  But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
   
   
    
  Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.

  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong is the eighth paradigm-jolting book by the man Britain's Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century, Howard Bloom. 
  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos makes mincemeat of two of science's most cherished laws. And it tells you the tale of this cosmos, this planet, life, climate change, and your role and mine, from a meticulously researched point of view that will make your eyes pop. 
  Says the producer of seven BBC-TV science series including the classic Connections, James Burke, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a triumph...full of surprises." 
  Declares MacArthur Genius Award winner Richard Foreman, The Case Of The Sexual Cosmos is "a massive achievement. Wow!" 
  Adds Harvard's Ellen Langer, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a fascinating read.......[Bloom] argues that we are not savaging the earth as some would have it, but instead are growing the cosmos." 
  Concludes novelist Helen Zuman, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos pulls "us out of Greta Thunberg's self-hate machine" and shows that, "The true tragedy is not war or climate catastrophe. It's rejecting the exuberant flamboyance of exactly who we are."
