  Dark Space Dynamics - The Hidden...

  For centuries, the human understanding of the universe has been shaped by what we can see—stars, planets, galaxies, and cosmic events bathed in light. But the universe is far more than what meets the eye. Beneath the glow of starlight lies a vast, hidden framework—an unseen architecture that governs motion, structure, and expansion across cosmic scales. This shadow realm, composed of dark matter, dark energy, and other unidentified phenomena, holds the secrets to the universe’s most fundamental operations. It is within this invisible domain that we uncover the true dynamics of space itself. To comprehend the visible cosmos, we must begin by understanding the invisible. 
  The concept of dark space isn't entirely new, though only in recent decades has it taken a central role in astrophysics and cosmology. Early philosophers speculated about an aether or invisible medium that filled the cosmos, while later thinkers struggled to reconcile observed motions in the sky with the laws of physics. It wasn't until the 20th century, with advances in telescopes and mathematical models, that scientists began to realize that a significant portion of the universe’s mass-energy budget couldn't be explained by visible matter alone. Galaxies spun too fast, clusters held together too tightly, and the universe itself was expanding faster than predicted. Something unseen had to be influencing everything. That “something” is the foundation of dark space dynamics.

  The remarkable history of Britain and its animals, told through ten iconic species Have you ever wondered why we count sheep to get to sleep? Or where the phrase "red herring" comes from? Across British history, animals have been written about in poetry, painted in oils, and even recorded in law. Loved or feared, familiar or endangered, animals are everywhere to be seen. In this enchanting study, Karen R. Jones takes a journey through the history of ten animals to show the extraordinary story of "beastly" Britain. Jones looks at animals including foxes and hedgehogs, newts and beetles, ghostly hounds, and even the Loch Ness Monster. She reveals the place of animals in British cultural identity and sheds new light on the most iconic moments of British history, from the Black Death to World War II. The story of these isles may be told by human voices, but it is fully brought to life by listening to the squawks, bellows, and howls that make Britain what it is.

  How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
   
   
   
  In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
   
   
   
  Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.
