  Development of Quantum Physics...

  Albert Einstein’s greatest and most famous theory is the theory of relativity, which fundamentally changed the understanding of physics and astronomy during the 20th century. When first published, relativity superseded a 200-year-old theory of mechanics put forth by Isaac Newton. The theory of relativity overturned the concept of motion from Newton's day, into all motion is relative. Time was no longer uniform and absolute. Therefore, physics is no longer understood as space by itself, and time by itself. Instead, an added dimension had to be taken into account in the form of curved spacetime. Time now depended on velocity, and contraction became a fundamental consequence at appropriate speeds.  
  Max Planck has been remembered as the theoretical physicist whose revolutionary discovery of energy quanta and formulation of fundamental quantum theory allowed for countless others to expand on the knowledge of atomic processes. The immensity of Max Planck's legacy is difficult to condense into mere words, but this excerpt from the obituary of the fabled scientist, published in The New York Times the day after his death, aptly summed it up: “Max Planck was one of the intellectual giants of the 20th century, and one of the [most] outstanding intellects of all time. As father of the Quantum Theory, he ranks with the immortals of science, such as Archimedes, Galileo, Newton, and Einstein." 
  	Niels Bohr was one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century, coming up with theories that reshaped humanity’s understanding of reality itself. At a time when classical physics was being challenged by new discoveries, Bohr emerged as one of the principal architects of quantum theory, helping to construct a framework that revealed the strange and counterintuitive laws governing the atomic world. His work transformed physics, chemistry, and technology.

  Mysteries of the Social Brain -...

  Mysteries of the Social Brain describes the scientific underpinnings of human behavior and values. Through the retelling of fascinating clinical stories of people with neurological conditions, this book explores the parts of the brain that allow humans to thrive as social and creative beings. The authors reveal the relevance of our brain circuits to our well‑being―and the well‑being of our societies―and show what happens when changes in our brain circuitry drive changes in empathy, altruism, moral beliefs, and creativity. 
   
  By integrating perspectives from neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the stories in this book offer novel insights into the inner workings of the social brain and reveal groundbreaking findings from work in frontotemporal dementia, emotion, and the science of human values. This book showcases the discovery that creativity can emerge when there is decline in the brain’s language systems, a finding that highlights the robust, yet underappreciated connections between science and art. Listeners will learn about the biological basis of social behavior as well as simple steps that they can take to improve the functioning of their own social brains. 
   
  This book will captivate general listeners as well as clinicians and scientists who are interested in human social behavior, cognition, and emotion.

  An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
   
   
   
  A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

  Outsmart the Digital SAT - An...

  Most students prepare for the SAT the same way: 
  More practice. More time. More effort. 
  And yet… scores often don’t reflect it. 
  After scoring a 1490 on the SAT and earning a full-ride scholarship to the University of Central Florida, I noticed something that didn’t make sense: 
  Some of the smartest students I knew—straight-A students—were scoring in the 1200s. 
  That one test was limiting their college options and scholarships. 
  It felt incredibly unfair. 
  And it revealed a deeper truth: 
  The SAT isn’t about working harder. It’s about working with the right system. 
  In Predictable SAT Results Using AI, you’ll learn how to replace guesswork with a clear, structured approach that combines proven learning science with the power of AI. 
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
  ✔ How to identify your child’s highest-impact weaknesses 
  ✔ A simple system to analyze mistakes and improve faster 
  ✔ AI prompts you can use immediately for targeted practice 
  ✔ A clear method to track progress with confidence 
  Go from confusion → clarity… 
  From guessing → predictable results. 
  Because with the right approach, SAT success is not random.

  The explosion of generative AI has sparked a wave of case studies showing how quickly and profoundly it is transforming businesses. Yet most of these use cases still apply the technology to enhancing existing systems. This book makes the case for why business leaders must revisit the fundamentals of generative AI and look beyond short-term, tactical gains. Tools like ChatGPT mark just the beginning of Context Aware AI―systems that grasp both the content and intent of unstructured human input. Drawing on real-world examples and academic research, we demonstrate how Context Aware AI can enhance organizational interactions, unlock new forms of collaboration, and usher in the era of the AI-Centered Enterprise. By augmenting baseline Large Language Models (LLMs) with techniques like prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge graphs, and notably agentic systems, organizations can build customized tools that adapt to individual users’ thinking patterns and the collaborative workflows they are a part of. We present a practical framework―the 3Cs: Calibrate, Clarify, Channelize, to help leaders navigate this radical shift across multiple levels of organizations.
