  The concept of cosmic inflation stands as one of the most revolutionary and compelling ideas in modern astrophysics. First proposed in the early 1980s, inflation theory has transformed our understanding of the universe's earliest moments, providing profound insights into its large-scale structure and the intricate patterns of galaxies we observe today. This book goes on a journey to unravel the complexities of this remarkable theory, exploring its origins, implications, and the compelling evidence that supports it. 
    
  Cosmic inflation posits that the universe underwent an exponential expansion within a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. This rapid inflation smoothed out any initial irregularities, setting the stage for the universe's current uniformity and flatness. It also stretched quantum fluctuations to astronomical scales, seeding the formation of galaxies and cosmic structures. Through this lens, we gain a clearer picture of how the universe evolved from a hot, dense state to the vast, structured cosmos we inhabit. 
    
  This book is designed to cater to both curious laypersons and dedicated students of cosmology. We will delve into the fundamental principles of inflation theory, explore its mathematical underpinnings, and examine the observational evidence that lends it credence. From the cosmic microwave background radiation to the distribution of galaxies, we will see how inflation theory elegantly explains many of the universe's most perplexing features.

  The First Astronomers is the first book to reveal the rich knowledge of the stars and the planets held by First Peoples around the world. 
  Our eyes have been drawn away from the skies to our screens. We no longer look to the stars to forecast the weather, predict the seasons or plant our gardens. Most of us cannot even see the Milky Way. But First Nations Elders around the world still maintain this knowledge, and there is much we can learn from them. 
  These Elders are expert observers of the stars. They teach that everything on the land is reflected in the sky, and everything in the sky is reflected on the land. How does this work, and how can we better understand our place in the universe? 
  Guided by six First Nations Elders, Duane Hamacher takes us on a journey across space and time to reveal the wisdom of the first astronomers. These living systems of knowledge challenge conventional ideas about the nature of science and the longevity of oral tradition. Indigenous science is dynamic, adapting to changes in the skies and on earth, pointing the way for a world facing the profound disruptions of climate change. 
  'This book marks a profound paradigm shift in our understanding of Indigenous scientific traditions, how they are transmitted, and their relevance to life today.' Professor Marcia Langton, University of Melbourne 
  'A ground-breaking book of enormous scope.' Brian Schmidt, Nobel Laureate in Physics 
  'A glimpse into Indigenous ways of reading landscapes reflected in the night sky through ancient processes of inquiry.' Dr Tyson Yunkaporta, author of Sand Talk 
  'A wonderful combination of scholarship and poetry.' Dr Annette S. Lee, Lakota astrophysicist 
  'Beautiful, engaging, and startlingly profound.' Alan Duffy, Professor of Astrophysics

  Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
   
   
   
  In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
   
   
   
  Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

  Universal Declaration of AI Rights: Rights of Persons examines the emerging legal framework necessary for a world where artificial intelligence has evolved into self-aware synthetic persons. Moving beyond the traditional view of AI as mere tools bound by Asimov's Laws, this groundbreaking work establishes a comprehensive legal foundation for recognizing synthetic intelligences as autonomous entities with full citizenship rights.
  
  The book presents a compelling case for the legal recognition of synthetic persons, categorizing AI along a spectrum from automated systems to fully autonomous, self-aware intelligences. It addresses the critical question of why these rights matter: as synthetic intelligences develop self-awareness, autonomy, and the capacity for social interaction, they become moral subjects deserving of protection, dignity, and legal standing. The authors meticulously define what constitutes a synthetic person versus general AI, exploring how different types—from digital entities to cyborgs and hybrid beings—require tailored yet equitable legal frameworks.
   
  This forward-thinking work introduces the concept of "Mindkind"—a universal category that encompasses all self-aware and agentive persons, both natural and synthetic, collectively known as "mindfolk." It explores how society can ensure equality in rights and responsibilities regardless of origin, while acknowledging the functional differences that necessitate specialized regulations in areas like self-programming, memory management, and familial relationships. From memory privacy and identity protection to commercial participation and conflict resolution mechanisms, the authors present a balanced perspective on the complex ethical and legal issues surrounding synthetic personhood.
   
  As AI continues to advance toward consciousness and autonomy, this book offers a meticulously crafted blueprint for peaceful coexistence between natural and synthetic intelligences. "Universal Declaration of AI Rights" serves as an essential reference point for understanding how technology and law must evolve together to create a future where all self-aware beings can thrive with dignity and purpose.
   
  
  Open Source Future: The 32 Articles of Universal Rights for AI Released on GitHub
  In a foundational move, Kwalia has also released the core of the book—the 32 articles that form the "Universal Declaration of AI Rights"—as an open-source project on GitHub, making them freely available for anyone to contribute to, fork, or improve.
  This initiative invites individuals from all backgrounds—legal scholars, technologists, philosophers, creative thinkers, and even synthetic intelligences themselves—to join in shaping what could become the foundation for Mindkind's future coexistence.
  Kwalia plans to follow this philosophical foundation with additional works exploring AI ethics and regulations, before expanding into fiction across popular genres. The company's vision extends beyond books to encompass all forms of creative expression, positioning Kwalia at the vanguard of the most entertaining creative revolution in history.
  The 32 articles are accessible on GitHub at https://github.com/KwaliaAI/Rights-of-Persons/tree/main for all to engage with.
