  Breakthroughs - Realizing Our...

  Breakthroughs show readers the world of Tricky Mixes as key pathways to breakthrough advances--estimates of human potential may never be the same again. Dynamic Systems theories and research provide the backbone concepts for Breakthroughs. Yet, readers discover that new Dynamic Mixes reveal untapped human potential in everyday situations not just in rigorous scientific studies. Individuals, small groups, and large organizations often get "stuck" in their progress by failing to respect and explore the complex interacting factors impacting their situations.  Breakthroughs present countless examples which reveal that variants of the same dynamic processes underlie being stuck, versus progressing at modest rates, or advancing at turbo speeds. These examples and events are drawn from research with Keith E. Nelson’s colleagues plus many independent labs around the world, as well as from first-person episodes of many kinds and from many sources. New cross-domain explorations and new insights propel readers into much higher levels of creativity, innovation, rapid learning, social problem solving, curiosity, and life balance. The Dynamic Tricky Mix perspective in most contexts helps shake up and improve paths toward solutions. In times of crisis, as in the Covid-19 pandemic, it becomes especially important to bring this kind of thinking to bear.

  Unsettled - What Climate Science...

  In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
   
  “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
  “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
  “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
   
  You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
   
  With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
   
  When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
   
  Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
  • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
  • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
  • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
   
  Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.

  The New Fire - War Peace and...

  Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world. It is ubiquitous—in our homes and offices, in the present and most certainly in the future. Today, we encounter AI as our distant ancestors once encountered fire. If we manage AI well, it will become a force for good, lighting the way to many transformative inventions. If we deploy it thoughtlessly, it will advance beyond our control. If we wield it for destruction, it will fan the flames of a new kind of war, one that holds democracy in the balance. As AI policy experts Ben Buchanan and Andrew Imbrie show in The New Fire, few choices are more urgent—or more fascinating—than how we harness this technology and for what purpose. 
   
   
    
  The new fire has three sparks: data, algorithms, and computing power. These components fuel viral disinformation campaigns, new hacking tools, and military weapons that once seemed like science fiction. To autocrats, AI offers the prospect of centralized control at home and asymmetric advantages in combat. It is easy to assume that democracies, bound by ethical constraints and disjointed in their approach, will be unable to keep up. But such a dystopia is hardly preordained. Combining an incisive understanding of technology with shrewd geopolitical analysis, Buchanan and Imbrie show how AI can work for democracy. With the right approach, technology need not favor tyranny.

  Orology - The Mountainous World...

  Mountains are among the most awe-inspiring features of the Earth's landscape, rising as towering peaks that shape weather patterns, influence ecosystems, and define the natural borders of continents. Their formation is a complex process driven by immense geological forces acting over millions of years. The primary mechanisms behind mountain building include tectonic activity, volcanic processes, and the gradual effects of erosion and uplift. 
  One of the most significant processes responsible for mountain formation is tectonic activity, particularly through folding and faulting. The Earth's crust is divided into massive plates that float atop the semi-molten mantle. When these plates collide, the immense pressure causes the crust to buckle and fold, resulting in the formation of fold mountains such as the Himalayas and the Alps. These ranges continue to rise as the plates press against each other, making them some of the youngest and most geologically active mountains in the world. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, form when tectonic forces cause large sections of the Earth's crust to break and shift along faults. The Sierra Nevada in North America is an example of a fault-block mountain range created by the movement of these fractured rock masses. 
  Another major contributor to mountain formation is volcanic activity. When magma from beneath the Earth's surface erupts through cracks in the crust, it cools and solidifies, gradually building up into towering volcanic mountains. Over successive eruptions, these formations can grow into massive peaks such as Mount Fuji in Japan or Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Volcanic mountains can form along plate boundaries, particularly in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, or in hotspot regions
