A Brief History of Time is a popular science book by Stephen Hawking that aims to explain the fundamental principles of the universe in a way that’s accessible to a general audience. It covers major topics like the Big Bang, black holes, relativity, quantum mechanics, and even the possibility of time travel. Hawking uses a friendly, often humorous tone to make complex ideas easier to grasp. Main themes include:From Philosophy to ScienceHawking argues that science has taken over from philosophy as the main way we understand the universe. Through experimentation and observation, science provides more precise answers to questions that were once seen as purely philosophical or religious.The Search for a Final AnswerThe ultimate goal of science, Hawking says, is to find a unified theory that explains everything—from subatomic particles to galaxies. He sees this quest as central to human curiosity, even if it might be impossible to fully complete.The Need for Humility in ScienceThroughout the book, Hawking highlights the importance of being willing to admit mistakes and consider new ideas. Many scientists, including Einstein and Hawking himself, have revised their views as new evidence came to light. The book also encourages deeper engagement through essays and reflections. In short, A Brief History of Time is a key read for anyone interested in understanding the mysteries of the cosmos and how science helps us look for answers.Show book
As a journalist and author, John Lazenby has spent more than forty years chronicling the tales of others. But for much of his life he closely guarded his own compelling story – a long and challenging struggle with childhood dyslexia, unable to read or write at a time when neurodiversity was rarely considered or recognised. Sent away to boarding school at the age of seven, John's future pivoted on the life-changing intervention of a teacher who finally understood the boy whom no one else could teach. In this warm and poignant memoir, John traces his misadventures through the unforgiving education system of the 1960s, when illiteracy was viewed as a character defect that could be rectified by stern discipline and regular beatings, and takes us on an evocative visit to the not-so-distant past, introducing the kind and eccentric family who never gave up on him – and the array of teachers who did. We follow the intrepid progress of a boy who could write only one word – his name, spelled backwards – to a man who finally found his true calling after a series of setbacks and false starts, only to make the late discovery that he had travelled through life unaware of a second neurodiversity, hiding in plain sight. Heart-warming, hilarious, raw and shocking, NHOJ is a tribute to overcoming challenges, ignoring barriers and holding on to hope in a world that initially seems to have no place for you.Show book

Lanham Napier grew Rackspace from nearly nothing to over $1 billion in revenues and $5 billion in market value while creating thousands of jobs. Under his leadership, especially growing Rackspace's high-quality customer service, Fanatical Support, the tech start-up gained thousands of customers and industry dominance. A lifelong Texan, Lanham grew the company in his home state, overseeing the development of phenomenal new headquarters (a converted mall) in San Antonio and leading the company's IPO. Further, he obsessed over how to increase employee engagement, and he exuberantly succeeded in his goal. But, when Microsoft, Amazon, and Google entered the industry in force, everything changed . . . including Lanham's relationship with Rackspace executives and the company's board of directors. Lanham believed he had three options for leading the Rackspace response to the intense competition. But in fact, the board showed him that there was a fourth option (a very challenging option at that), which he had never even considered. Readers love the authenticity of this book and made it a bestseller for coaching and mentoring and for business management.Show book
