  A prizewinning journalist with a background in neuroscience, Helen Thomson spent years tracking down people who live with the world's most extraordinary neurological disorders—like a man who tried to break his back because his legs no longer felt like his own, and another who believed that he was dead for nine years. Not content to simply read about these cases on paper, Thomson reached out to ten people with these afflictions, and they agreed to tell her their stories. 
  Leaving behind the scans and the clinical histories, Unthinkable ties the first-ever interviews with the people who have these rare conditions together with cutting-edge science. Through these incredible tales, Thomson casts a light on the chaos that the human mind can create. She shows us how these strange conditions hold the keys to unlocking the biggest mysteries of the human brain, and provide a deeper understanding of the human condition itself. 
  Combining careful observation with bold science and vibrant storytelling, Unthinkable takes us on a deep dive into the weirdest corners of our brain, and helps us to see our own creativity, our emotions, and our consciousness more clearly.

  This bundle contains 4 titles, which are the following: 
  Astrobiology - With fascinating insights into the building blocks of life, planetary habitability, and the latest advancements in space exploration, this guide reveals how scientists are pushing the boundaries of knowledge to find evidence of life elsewhere. This comprehensive guide brings together the latest research in chemistry, planetary science, and evolutionary biology, offering readers a glimpse into the potential forms that extraterrestrial life might take and what discovering it would mean for humanity. 
  Biology - At its core, biology explores the characteristics of life, which include organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation. All living organisms share these characteristics, though they may express them in various ways. From the microscopic bacteria that live in the soil to the complex human body, biological processes are at work, and each organism plays a part in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. 
  Genetics - Each organism's genetic material is contained within its cells, and it is organized into structures called chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. Within these chromosomes are thousands of genes, each responsible for specific traits. These traits can range from eye color and blood type to more complex characteristics like susceptibility to certain diseases. 
  Microbiology - Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with the study of microorganisms, which are organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Although these tiny life forms are invisible to the unaided eye, they play a vital role in the environment, human health, and various industrial processes.

  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.

  Concepts of Modern Physics - An...

  Modern physics is the study of the fundamental principles that govern the universe, focusing on concepts that emerged in the 20th and 21st centuries. Unlike classical physics, which describes motion, forces, and energy using Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell’s equations, modern physics delves into the nature of reality at both the smallest and largest scales. It is driven by two major revolutions: relativity and quantum mechanics. These theories challenged classical assumptions, revealing new insights into space, time, and the fundamental particles that make up the universe. 
  One of the key differences between classical and modern physics lies in their domains of applicability. Classical physics works well for everyday experiences, from planetary motion to the mechanics of machines. However, when dealing with extreme conditions—such as objects moving at speeds close to the speed of light, microscopic particles, or immense gravitational fields—classical theories fail. Modern physics was developed to address these limitations, providing a more complete framework for understanding nature. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and the development of quantum mechanics by pioneers like Max Planck, Niels Bohr, and Erwin Schrödinger revolutionized scientific thought. 
  Several key experiments shaped the foundation of modern physics. The Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887 provided strong evidence against the existence of the "luminiferous aether," leading to the development of special relativity. Einstein’s 1905 theory redefined space and time, demonstrating that they are not absolute but rather interwoven in a four-dimensional continuum. His general theory of relativity later provided a new understanding of gravity, showing that massive objects warp space-time, a concept confirmed by astronomical observations, such as the bending of starlight during a solar eclipse.
