  Biocivilisations is an important, original rethinking of the mystery of life and its deep uncertainty, exploring the complex civilisations that existed on Earth long before humans.  
  What is life? Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.  
  The term biocivilisations is the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of life, as opposed to a quasi-certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution. Life existed without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth’s existence. Life will also continue without humans long after our inevitable extinction.  
  In Biocivilisations, Dr Predrag Slijep?evi? shows how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but demonstrate elements of how we celebrate human civilisation – complex communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more.  
  Humans must try to adopt this wisdom from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own. By rethinking the current scientific paradigm, Dr Slijep?evi? makes clear that a transformation – from a naïve young species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings – will save us from our own violence and the violence we inflict on the rest of our living planet.

  Best New Books on Space 2024 – Forbes 
  ‘Rarely is a non-fiction book about science this engaging’ – Forbes 
  Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs. 
  Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why? 
  This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in. 
  Some 99 per cent of Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of nature? 
  Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of our light addiction, with devastating impacts. 
  In this book Dani shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution (clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch). 
  Her life depends on darkness, and yours does too. 
  Dani Robertson's All Through The Night is a non-fiction exploration of the importance of darkness in our ecosystems. It's a journey through the wilderness of the night sky, touching on topics of astronomy, ecology, and conservation. This bestseller is a call to action for the protection of our habitats from light pollution. 
  For fans of John Lewis-Stempel (England), Katherine May (Enchantment), Robin Wall Kimmerer (Gathering Moss), Matt Haig (The Comfort Book), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).

  This is a concise summary and analysis of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, by Thomas Kuhn. It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Thomas Kuhn. Ideal for those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
   
  This groundbreaking work challenges the traditional understanding of scientific progress, introducing the concept of paradigm shifts—fundamental changes in the way scientific communities perceive and interpret the world. It argues that scientific revolutions do not occur gradually but through periods of crisis and transformation, where existing frameworks are replaced by new, incommensurable paradigms. This influential study reshapes how we think about knowledge, progress, and the history of science.
