  Forgiving Humanity - How the...

  Peter Russell

  Why has the most innovative of species become so dangerous? The answer, suggests Peter Russell, lies in humanity’s accelerating pace of development. He shows how innovation breeds further innovation—a positive feedback loop leading to exponential rates of change. But our minds cannot grasp the full implications of exponential growth. We think more in terms of linear change, leading to a blind spot on the future.  
  However fast the pace of change may be today, it will be even faster in the years to come, bringing ever more rapid scientific and technological advances. But ever-accelerating change also creates stress on the systems involved. The faster the change, the greater the stress, and the more likely systemic breakdown. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams. 
  Russell argues there is no blame for this. Spiraling rates of development, with all their consequences, positive and negative, are the inevitable fate of any intelligent, technologically-empowered species.  
  How do we live with such unsettling conclusions? How can we prepare for a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable? What does it mean for the future of humanity? 
  Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology —as well as a masters degree in computer science —at the University of Cambridge. He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s. His other books include The TM Technique, The Upanishads, Waking Up in Time, From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.

  For over half a century, DNA has dominated science and the popular imagination as the "secret of life." But over the last several decades, a quiet revolution has taken place. In a series of breathtaking discoveries, the biochemist Thomas R. Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA—long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA—sits at the center of biology's greatest mysteries: How did life begin? What makes us human? Why do we get sick and grow old? In The Catalyst, Cech finally brings together years of research to demonstrate that RNA is the true key to understanding life on Earth, from its very origins to our future in the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  A gripping journey of discovery, The Catalyst moves from the early experiments that first hinted at RNA's spectacular powers, to Cech's own paradigm-shifting finding that it can catalyze cellular reactions, to the cutting-edge biotechnologies poised to reshape our health. We learn how RNA may have jump-started life itself, and how, at the same time, it can cut our individual lives short through viral diseases and cancer. We see how RNA is implicated in the aging process and explore the darker depths of the supposed fountain of youth, telomerase. And we catch a thrilling glimpse into how RNA-powered therapies may enable us to improve and even extend life beyond nature's current limits.

  Relativity – Time, Space, and Being 
  (Physics Explained Simply | Volume 2) 
  What remains of reality 
  when time no longer flows equally for everyone 
  and space is no longer a fixed background? 
  In this audiobook, Orhan Schöwe invites you on a calm, narrative journey through Einstein’s theory of relativity — not as an abstract concept, but as an experience. Step by step, he reveals how motion, light, and gravity reshape our perception of the world — and what this means for our own lives. 
  Here, relativity is more than physics. 
  It is an invitation to rethink perspective: 
  Time as relationship, 
  space as structure, 
  being as a path. 
  Without formulas, but with clarity and depth, this audiobook combines scientific precision with a poetic language that leaves room for reflection, wonder, and quiet attention. 
  An audiobook by Orhan Schöwe 
  For everyone who wants not only to understand physics, 
  but to feel how it transforms the way we think.

  You see them every day on the wires and the bins, and you have started to wonder whether the crow on your street actually knows who you are. It does. It may also be holding a grudge.
  
  This audiobook opens each short chapter inside a living scene, a crow dropping walnuts on a Tokyo crossing, a pair of ravens sledding down a snowbank, then delivers one documented wow-behaviour from the science of crow intelligence. You will hear how crows recognise individual human faces for years, how New Caledonian crows craft hooked tools, why crows gather around their dead, how nutcrackers relocate thousands of buried seeds, and how ravens plan for tomorrow and bring gifts to the people who feed them.
  
  By the last chapter, the black birds on your block stop being background and become neighbours with memories, plans and opinions about you. Press play, and go meet the wild mind that lives nearest to your own.

As a Cisco Certified professional, a person is armed with all the knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen area of expertise. The certification is globally recognized and sought after by major corporations, especially in today's ever-evolving world of IT technology. Cisco ensures that its certified network professionals are kept up to date with the latest technologies and trends. Obtaining a Cisco Certification validates that the IT professionals are dedicated to their career, it opens up new career paths, and may move them into a higher salary bracket. Cisco Certified professionals are in demand worldwide and that demand is increasing with the rapid technology development growth. They are also among the top-paying jobs in the world! If you are an IT professional wanting to further your career as a Cisco Certified professional, then it all starts with the new CCNA qualification. Recently, Cisco announced that they were revamping their certifications. They want to ensure their courses include all the latest technological innovations that pertain to their industry sector. On 23 February 2020 Cisco will be launching its new courses that affect each level of certification, from entry-level to architect level. They have retired some of their courses in an effort to streamline the certification path. Before, the CCNA consisted of multiple courses and exams, one for each network path, such as CCNA Cloud, CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Security. This meant three different courses and three different exams. The new CCNA replaces these individual CCNA courses and exams, which means one course covering a broader spectrum of IT fundamentals. It also means the IT professional only has to sit one exam to obtain their certificate! This book is a guide to help you discover the new CCNA certificate.
