The Miracle of Our Universe - A...

Marsha Sims, Bernard Haisch

“A fascinating, comprehensive, and accessible exploration of life’s most fundamental questions. If you’re wondering who we are and why we’re here, this book is a great place to start.” —Mark Gober, award-winning author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and board member at the Institute of Noetic Sciences Is our physical universe actually a virtual simulation that is thought into existence by consciousness? Noted astrophysicist and #1 bestselling author, Bernard Haisch explores the frontiers of science, consciousness, and God, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe and what’s behind it all. Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist and whether there might be another experience awaiting you after the physical body dies? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? Without consciousness there is nothing. The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God. Authors Bernard Haisch and Marsha Sims tackle age-old metaphysical questions such as the following: Are near-death experiences real? What is the zero-point field? What kind of being could God be? Is there some place that God could have come from? How does the Big Bang figure into this? It there an afterlife, and what could it be like? What is the purpose of life? Is consciousness all there is? Is the universe a virtual reality? Why is hell impossible?

Workbook: What Happened to You?...

Liam Daniels, Alice Moore

Note: This audiobook is included (for free) inside its respective print and e-book versions.
Workbook: What Happened to You? (Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry)
In a powerful and compelling conversation, Oprah and Dr. Perry discuss the importance of our past in shaping us and why asking “What’s wrong with you?” might be an unhelpful and misguided question. They propose shifting the focus to “What happened to you?” instead. This may seem simple, but it has been groundbreaking in changing the way we understand and think about trauma, which in turn has offered a significantly more optimistic approach to recovery. But this is just one of the core messages of Oprah and Dr. Perry’s book. Want to know what the other core messages are?
“Workbook: What Happened to You?” not only provides all the powerful ideas, practices, and concepts that Oprah and Dr. Perry discuss in their original book in a clear and concise format, but it also offers interactive exercises, reflective and thought-provoking questions, tools, resources for healing, and supplementary information; all designed to enrich your understanding and help you apply what you’ve read.
You will get:A powerful combination of storytelling and the latest research on neuroscience and traumatology.Shocking facts about trauma, information on different methods of treatment, and much more!An immersive experience that will bridge the gap between the book's teachings and your own life.
While it is beneficial to have read their original work, it’s not compulsory, as this workbook will provide you with all the information you need to engage with the topic and exercises. Don't miss out on the combined wisdom of these two giants.

Under Alien Skies - A...

Philip Plait PhD

A rip-roaring tour of the cosmos with the Bad Astronomer, revealing the sky as never seen before―from everywhere but Earth. 
 
How would Saturn’s rings look from a spaceship sailing just above them? If you were falling into a black hole, what’s the last thing you’d see before your spaghettification? What would it be like to visit the faraway places we currently experience only through high-powered telescopes and robotic emissaries? Faster-than-light travel may never be invented, but we can still take the scenic route through the universe with renowned astronomer and science communicator Philip Plait. 
 
On this lively, immersive adventure through the cosmos, Plait draws ingeniously on the latest scientific research to transport readers to ten spectacular sites, from our own familiar Moon to the outer reaches of our solar system and far beyond. Whether strolling through a dust storm under Mars’ butterscotch sky, witnessing the birth of a star, or getting dizzy in a technicolor nebula, Plait is an illuminating, entertaining guide to the most otherworldly views in our universe.

Polycentric Water Governance in...

Nora Schütze

Increasing irrigation efficiency has been high on the political agenda in Spain for many years. However, the overarching aim to reduce agricultural water consumption has not been met so far. To explore this phenomenon, Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive implementation. From the perspective of polycentric governance, she identifies multiple mechanisms which illustrate how and why actors interact in certain ways, and thus shows why environmental aims of the Water Framework Directive remain unachieved.
