    The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof—deductive reasoning from a set of axioms—first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research in mathematics. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Starting from the basics, Maciej Dunajski proceeds from concrete examples (of mathematical objects like Platonic solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem) to general principles. Throughout, he outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of science and art.

    Planet Earth Is Conscious - And...

    This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet. 
    I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing. 
    Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos. 
    There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades. 
    For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper. 
    That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years? 
    There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth. 
    Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.

    The Care Divide by Dr. Christopher Voss reveals how healthcare systems shape lives, opportunity, and dignity. 
    Through two vivid stories—Ava, growing up in America’s fragmented system, and Zoe, raised with universal coverage—Dr. Voss shows the stark contrast between fear and freedom. Ava’s life is defined by delayed treatments, surprise bills, and chronic conditions that derail her future. Zoe’s is marked by seamless care, early support, and the freedom to pursue her dreams without fear of losing coverage. 
    Blending human stories with meticulous research, The Care Divide exposes the costs of America’s system: physicians burned out by bureaucracy, families bankrupted by illness, and entrepreneurs trapped in jobs for insurance. In contrast, universal systems worldwide deliver healthier outcomes, stronger communities, and security across generations. 
    More than a policy critique, this book is a call to action. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Voss urges us to envision a future where no one must choose between health and financial security. 
    The Care Divide is essential reading for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and citizens who believe care is a human right. It will open your eyes, stir your heart, and inspire you to join the movement for a system that leaves no one behind.
