Sinopsis

Steepest Mountains explores the intersection of geology, ecosystems, and human ambition on Earth's most challenging peaks. It delves into what drives individuals to confront seemingly insurmountable walls of rock and ice, examining the geological forces that created these dramatic landscapes and the unique plant and animal life that has adapted to survive in such extreme high-altitude conditions. The book vividly recounts the history of mountaineering, from early exploration to the evolution of climbing techniques, highlighting the incredible feats of human endurance achieved in the Andes, Himalayas, and Karakoram.

 
The book uniquely weaves together scientific rigor with compelling storytelling, presenting complex geological and biological information in an accessible style. It progresses by first establishing the geological foundations of steep mountain ranges, then moves to examining high-altitude ecosystems and finally delves into the history and psychology of extreme mountaineering, including the evolution of climbing equipment and the ethical considerations of modern mountaineering. Through detailed analyses of specific mountain faces, Steepest Mountains reveals the interconnectedness of our planet and the remarkable natural resilience found in even the most seemingly inhospitable places.

The Progress Illusion - Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics - cover

In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
 
 
 
While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.

What Does God Think about Technology?
From smartphones to self-driving cars to space travel, new technologies can inspire us. But the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley? And how does God relate to our most powerful innovators?
To build a biblical theology of technology, journalist and tech optimist Tony Reinke examines nine key texts from Scripture to show how the world's discoveries are divinely orchestrated. Ultimately, what we believe about God determines how we respond to human invention. With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels twelve common myths in the church and offers fourteen ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.
