Vanishing Life on Earth

Bimalendu B. Nath

The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

Spinning Out - Climate Change...

Charlie Hertzog Young

'Utterly brilliant - engaging, thrilling, disturbing, revelatory, explosive' GEORGE MONBIOT'This extraordinary book, written with startling honesty and vulnerability, traces Charlie's remarkable journey from deep despair to resistance, reconnection and remedy. If you are ready to channel grief within into action in the world, read on.' KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist'Spinning Out is a salve, weaving together the intricacies of madness underscored by the backdrop of a changing climate. It's an essential and insightful resource in the fight for climate justice.' TORI TSUI, author of It's Not Just You'Heart-rendingly, heart-stoppingly glorious' MANDA SCOTT, author of bestselling Boudica seriesHumanity is driving the earth mad. Now, the earth is driving us mad in return. Charlie Hertzog Young became a climate activist in his early teens. His journey led him onto airport runways and into the halls of power, but also to a serious mental health breakdown. He had to rebuild himself physically and psychologically, before focusing his efforts on collective mental recovery in response to a planet in crisis.Spinning Out explores how climate chaos and the failure of those in power to tackle it are causing an inevitable mental health crisis across the globe. The relationship between the climate and our emotional wellbeing goes far deeper than eco-anxiety. It goes to he roots of our civilisation - its principles, its practices and its false solutions.With testimony from dozens of activists, organisers and researchers across every habitable continent, Spinning Out is a celebration (of other ways to be) and a manual for anyone who wants to fight for a better world, while avoiding burnout and despair.Wedding the needs of the earth with the needs of the human mind, Spinning Out offers a powerful, collective vision for change.

The Power of Quantum Thinking -...

Dr Bhaskar Bora

What if the way you think is limiting the way you live?
We are taught to see the world in straight lines—cause and effect, right and wrong, success and failure.
But reality is not linear.
It never was.
In The Power of Quantum Thinking, Dr Bhaskar Bora challenges conventional thinking and introduces a radically different way of understanding reality, decision-making, and human potential.
Inspired by the principles of quantum physics—but grounded in philosophy and lived experience—this book explores how uncertainty, possibility, and interconnectedness shape not only the universe… but your life.
Inside this book, you will discover:
• Why linear thinking fails in a complex world
• How uncertainty can become your greatest strength
• The hidden patterns behind choices and outcomes
• The role of consciousness in shaping perception and reality
• How to think beyond limitations and embrace possibility
This is not a physics textbook.
It is a new way of thinking.
A way that allows you to move:
From rigid certainty → to intelligent awareness
From fear of uncertainty → to mastery of possibility
From reaction → to conscious response
Whether you are navigating difficult decisions, personal challenges, or simply questioning the way you see the world—
this book will expand your perspective.
Because the future does not belong to those who think harder.
It belongs to those who think differently.
And once you begin to see differently—
everything changes.
