Why We Haven't Found Aliens Yet...

John Harpoon

The question of why we have yet to discover extraterrestrial life remains one of the most profound mysteries in science. Despite decades of research, powerful telescopes, and countless efforts to detect signals from distant worlds, the universe has remained eerily silent. This paradox has led scientists and thinkers to develop a range of theories that attempt to explain why humanity appears to be alone in the cosmos.  
One of the most well-known ideas is the Fermi Paradox, which questions why, given the vastness of the universe and the high probability of other life forms, we have yet to encounter any signs of intelligent beings. The paradox highlights a troubling disconnect between the presumed abundance of alien civilizations and our complete lack of evidence for their existence. This has spurred a wave of speculation, ranging from the possibility that advanced civilizations self-destruct before they can communicate, to the unsettling notion that extraterrestrials deliberately avoid contact with less advanced species.   
Technological limitations may also play a role in this silence. While humanity has made significant strides in space exploration and communication technologies, our methods may be inadequate for detecting extraterrestrial signals. The vastness of space presents enormous challenges, with signals potentially becoming too weak or distorted to identify by the time they reach Earth. Furthermore, the technology alien civilizations may use to communicate could be entirely different from our own, rendering our search methods ineffective.

In Search of My Father -...

Helen Popovic

What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting?
Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia.
A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached.
This moving story is part personal diary, part scientific treatise and part practical guide, woven together with humorous anecdotes. Above all, it’s an inspiring account of a daughter in search of her father: the man beyond the grief, despair, depression and dementia.
This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us?
Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing?
The answer is an unequivocal YES!
Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life.
‘Who would have thought that dementia could be such an adventure—that adventure, in fact, prevents dementia!’ Dr Sarah Woodbury FRANZCOG

The Elements of Marie Curie -...

Dava Sobel

The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
 
“Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
 
As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
 
With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.
