  Explore freedom, power, and the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century with two extraordinary thinkersTwo world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to debate alternatives for the future: José "Pepe" Mujica, former President of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who acquired an international following for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world. From the meeting of these peerless figures emerge reflections on the major global issues of our time: climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism, and the logic of the market economy, among many others. Speaking especially to younger generations who inherited an unstable world, Chomsky and Mujica emphasize the values required to survive the challenges of the twenty-first century and to build a new world: democracy, freedom, humility, and friendship. Brought together by Mexican activist Saúl Alvídrez, Chomsky and Mujica offer a wise and passionate guide to salvaging the 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.

  A Book That Will Change the Way You See the World 
  What if everything you've been taught is only part of the story? What if the truth lies not in what we already know, but in what we dare to imagine? This book invites you to think beyond boundaries—to look past what science alone can explain, and open your mind to deeper questions about life, human nature, and the world we share. 
  Written in clear, everyday language, this isn't a book for scholars or specialists—it's a book for everyone. For the curious, the thoughtful, and the open-minded. For those who sense there's more to life than routines and rules. It challenges you to reflect, to rethink, and to rediscover what it means to be human. 
  This book begins with science—its triumphs, its insights, and the way it shapes our lives. But it doesn't stop there. It leads into something far more profound: a conversation about values, belief, society, and our place in a living, breathing universe. It asks not only what we know, but how we live—and whether we are living with awareness, responsibility, and compassion. 
  Inside, you'll find:A message that speaks to all of humanity, across belief systems and borders.A journey that connects scientific understanding with emotional truth and spiritual insight.Personal reflections, honest thoughts, and a call to awaken your own sense of purpose. 
  You don't need to agree with everything inside. You just need the courage to explore. To read with an open heart. And to let the ideas meet your own life in whatever way they will. 
  This book is for seekers, not followers. For those who aren't satisfied with easy answers, and who believe that real change starts with the way we think.

  Our Once and Future Planet -...

  The environmental movement is plagued by pessimism. And that’s not unreasonable: with so many complicated, seemingly intractable problems facing the planet, coupled with a need to convince people of the dangers we face, it’s hard not to focus on the negative But that paints an unbalanced—and overly disheartening—picture of what’s going on with environmental stewardship today. There are success stories, and Our Once and Future Planet delivers a fascinating account of one of the most impressive areas of current environmental experimentation and innovation: ecological restoration. Veteran investigative reporter Paddy Woodworth has spent years traveling the globe and talking with people—scientists, politicians, and ordinary citizens—who are working on the front lines of the battle against environmental degradation. At sites ranging from Mexico to New Zealand and Chicago to Cape Town, Woodworth shows us the striking successes (and a few humbling failures) of groups that are attempting to use cutting-edge science to restore blighted, polluted, and otherwise troubled landscapes to states of ecological health—and, in some of the most controversial cases, to particular moments in historical time, before widespread human intervention. His firsthand field reports and interviews with participants reveal the promise, power, and limitations of restoration. Ecological restoration alone won’t solve the myriad problems facing our environment. But Our Once and Future Planet demonstrates the role it can play, and the hope, inspiration, and new knowledge that can come from saving even one small patch of earth.
