Synopsis

The revolution will not take place indoors.

Kenyan beekeeper-turned-farmer Jess de Boer embarks upon a decade-long journey to find purpose and potential in the explosive world of regenerative agriculture.

From honey hunting in the last remaining pockets of rainforest in southern Ethiopia, to gardening in the depths of Kenya's largest slum, Jess takes you to the arid lands of Northern Kenya where a group of pioneering farmers have begun to connect the people with the dust beneath their feet.

This is a journey into restorative action. Confronting the challenges of our stagnant education systems, unsustainable food production techniques and the growing disconnect of our youth, de Boer merges fact and science with hard-won wisdom in this inspiring and accessible tale of proactivity and hope.

    Reusable rockets and mass production of spacecraft and their components mean that the cost of access to and operation in space is dropping rapidly and making ever more space businesses economically viable. There are now already thousands of space start-up companies. The space economy is expected to grow to several trillion dollars over the next decades. Space technology may help solve challenges on Earth, ranging from climate change over food and energy security to quality healthcare. This book, written by renowned space investor and educator Raphael Roettgen, explains these trends, the implications for all of us, and how each and every one of us can be part of this exciting sector, whether as a pioneering entrepreneur or a space tourist. 
    Testimonials (incl. for the German and Portuguese editions) 
    "Raphael Roettgen has written a critical entry in space literature - a lucid, concise introduction to the space economy. This book is great for everyone from an investor to an enthusiast." 
    - Zaheer Ali, Professor of Space and Technology Leadership, Thunderbird School of Global Management 
    "Remote sensing, navigation and telecommunications are the backbone of our digital economy. Therefore, no one will be able to ignore space going forward."

    Before I Begin: A Manifesto on Humanity's Reckoning and the End of the World is not just another book about apocalypse. It is a bold philosophical and scientific exploration of the greatest threats humanity has ever faced—and the hidden patterns that link our past extinctions to the dangers of today. 
    From the cataclysmic asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs to the looming possibility of nuclear war, from supervolcanoes and gamma-ray bursts to engineered viruses and runaway artificial intelligence, this manifesto examines how fragile our existence truly is. But beyond the science of survival, it confronts the uncomfortable truth: that corruption, inequality, and the failures of the global system may be the gravest threats of all. 
    In powerful, provocative prose, Hatem Helmi weaves together history, philosophy, and cutting-edge science to reveal a vision of humanity standing on the edge of transformation. Will we collapse into chaos, or will we seize the chance to build a more just and resilient world? 
    For readers of Yuval Noah Harari, Stephen Hawking, and Jared Diamond, this book is both a warning and a manifesto—a call to awaken, to question, and to act before it is too late. 
    This is not the end. It is the beginning of a reckoning.

    Galactic Ghosts - How Dark...

    Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in modern science. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it makes up approximately 27% of the universe’s total mass and energy. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it completely transparent to current observational instruments. However, scientists are certain of its existence due to its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Its discovery has led to a major shift in our understanding of the cosmos, revealing that most of the universe’s matter remains hidden from our view. 
    The term "dark matter" was first introduced in the early 20th century, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that astronomers began to recognize its significant role in the universe. In 1933, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed the motion of galaxies within clusters and noted that the amount of visible matter in these clusters was insufficient to account for their observed gravitational effects. This led him to propose the existence of an unseen form of matter, which he referred to as "dark matter." Over the following decades, similar observations were made by astronomers studying the rotation of individual galaxies. The rotation speeds of galaxies were found to be much higher than what could be explained by the visible matter in the galaxies. This discrepancy suggested that there was additional, unseen matter providing extra gravitational pull, keeping the galaxies intact and preventing them from flying apart. 
    Dark matter does not interact with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, which is why it cannot be directly observed. It’s not made up of the usual atoms and particles that constitute the familiar matter we see in everyday life. Instead, it seems to consist of particles that do not interact with electromagnetic forces, which is why they are invisible.
