  This book bundle explores one of the universe’s most mysterious and fundamental forces: gravity. In Gravity’s Ghost, uncover how this invisible force holds galaxies together and sculpts the structure of the cosmos—yet still defies complete understanding. Discover how gravity bends light, alters time, and reveals itself in the deepest corners of space. 
  In Gravity’s Hidden Partner, the story shifts toward the unknown allies that amplify gravity’s strange behavior—like dark matter and dark energy. Scientists suspect that 95% of the universe is invisible, yet these unseen forces help explain anomalies in galactic rotation and expansion. Could something even more exotic be at play behind the scenes? 
  Finally, Light’s Opponent looks at the eternal cosmic struggle between gravity and light. Learn how gravity can trap light in black holes, distort it through gravitational lensing, and stretch its path across the universe. With every discovery, we realize just how much gravity shapes not only the cosmos—but our understanding of reality itself.

  In this era of climate crisis, in which our very futures are at stake, sustainability is a global imperative. Yet we tend to associate sustainability, nature, and the environment with distant places, science, and policy. The truth is that everything is environmental, from transportation to taxes, work to love, cities to cuisine. 
   
   
  This book is the first to examine contemporary Singapore from an ecocultural lens, looking at the ways that Singaporean life and culture is deeply entangled with the nonhuman lives that flourish all around us. The authors represent a new generation of cultural critics and environmental thinkers, who will inherit the future we are creating today. From chilli crab to Tiger Beer, Changi Airport to Pulau Semakau, O-levels to orang minyak films, these essays offer fresh perspectives on familiar subjects, prompting us to recognise the incredible urgency of climate change and the need to transform our ways of thinking, acting, learning, living, and governing so as to maintain a stable planet and a decent future.

  In just a few decades, a handful of tech companies have grown from humble beginnings into the most powerful corporations in the world. These tech giants—such as Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta—didn’t just ride the wave of technological advancement; they created it. Their influence now extends far beyond the digital world, reshaping industries, economies, and even the way we live our everyday lives. 
  The journey began in garages and dorm rooms, where innovative minds dreamed big. Apple started in a California garage, Google in a Stanford dorm, and Amazon as an online bookstore. What these companies shared was a willingness to challenge existing norms and reimagine how technology could serve people. Their founders—visionaries like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg—helped pioneer bold ideas and new ways of thinking that forever changed the tech landscape.  
  Key moments in tech history marked pivotal shifts. The launch of the iPhone in 2007 revolutionized the way we interact with technology, putting the power of computing into our pockets. Google’s search engine transformed the internet into an organized, navigable space. Amazon redefined convenience with fast, efficient online shopping and then changed the game again with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leader in cloud computing. Microsoft, once synonymous with desktop computing, adapted to lead in software, enterprise services, and gaming. Meta, originally Facebook, reshaped how we connect and share online.

  A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
   
   
   
  For fifty years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd's Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her seventies, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction. 
   
   
   
  Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
   
   
   
  With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd's Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
