    The Sacred Theory of the Earth

    The Sacred Theory of the Earth by Thomas Burnet is a groundbreaking work of early scientific and theological thought, blending natural philosophy with spiritual inquiry. First published in the late 17th century, Burnet's treatise attempts to explain the origins, structure, and ultimate destiny of the Earth through careful observation, reason, and a deep engagement with scripture.
    
    In this seminal work, Burnet challenges conventional views of the cosmos, offering readers a vision of the Earth not merely as a physical entity, but as part of a divine plan. He explores topics such as the creation of the world, the nature of the elements, the Flood, and the eventual restoration of the Earth, providing a unique perspective that bridges science and faith.
    
    The Sacred Theory of the Earth is more than a historical curiosity; it is a window into the intellectual ferment of the Enlightenment era, where reason and religion were in dialogue, and thinkers sought to reconcile empirical observation with spiritual truths. Burnet's meticulous reasoning, vivid descriptions, and philosophical insight make this work an essential read for anyone interested in the history of science, theology, and the enduring questions about the world we inhabit.
    
    Rich in intellectual rigor and imaginative thought, Burnet's treatise remains a cornerstone for scholars and curious readers alike, offering profound reflections on humanity's place in the natural and divine order.

    Space Piracy is a forward-thinking resource that considers, analyzes, and provides solutions to the influence of the ignoble side of humanity in the realm of outer space, where potential for crime, corruption, piracy, and war increases as the exploitation of space as a commercial resource continues to develop. This book blends the authors' knowledge with that of subject matter experts to deliver a holistic understanding of criminality in space and help listeners broaden their horizons beyond their own area of specialization. 
     
     
     
    Some of the topics explored in this insightful book include space hacking, from software, data, network, and hardware risks to existing cybersecurity standards and practices in space; criminal organizations that might pursue criminal activities in space, including cartels, kidnappers and devicenappers, and governments; and laws and treaties relevant to space crime, such as the Communications Satellite Act and the Outer Space Treaty of 1967. 
     
     
     
    Filled with practical, thought-provoking knowledge and guidance, Space Piracy earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of professionals working in the best of humanity's institutions, including law and intelligence services, finance, insurance and risk management, corporations, and the sciences, who seek to combat what the worst of us may be dreaming up.

    The Cure at Walden Pond - A...

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Care of the Soul comes a revelatory approach to healing and renewal.  
      
    Among the pages of Henry David Thoreau’s journals and his legendary Walden, Thomas Moore, beloved bestselling author, psychotherapist, and public thinker, has found transformative ideas and approaches that promise to help us live better. As Moore writes, “We need to make the journey to our own ‘Walden Pond’ and find a cure for our cultural lostness.” 
      
    Like Moore’s own million-copy-bestselling Care of the Soul, The Cure at Walden Pond will be widely heralded among readers for its beautiful prose, accessible voice, and profound insights into the human condition.  
      
    Thoreau was disillusioned in his day by the same kind of frantic consumerism, round-the-clock work, and narrow imagination that trouble us today. Moore will help readers slow down, be more present and mindful in their relationships with their loved ones, and appreciate the beautiful world we share. For Moore, as for Thoreau, there is immense spiritual power all around us. 
      
    New Hampshire’s Mount Monadnock is a “natural temple” for all New Englanders, a place of reverence and renewal, and Moore encourages us to find our own places of rejuvenation. There is neglected spirituality—and humanity—in the everyday objects that sustain us too. Moore explores his own memories of an old farmhouse, a grinding stone, and an out-of-tune piano that bring him back to his childhood and his family history.  
      
    The journey to Walden Pond is an essential American pilgrimage, and The Cure at Walden Pond embodies Thoreau’s essence, guiding us through Thoreau’s precepts so we can find more harmony in our communities and in ourselves. Immersing ourselves in the music of the natural world, The Cure at Walden Pond is a resonate read that will move and inspire any one in search of a new way of being. 
      
    "Henry David Thoreau and the modern art of soul-making. Moore, the author of the bestselling Care of the Soul (1992), considers the life and work of Henry David Thoreau, the 19th-century essayist who favored simple living in natural surroundings. Moore's style is clear and accessible, and his short chapters can be read and savored in almost any order. An eloquent call for deliberate living."—Kirkus Reviews

  • The Honey Trap - How the Good Intentions of Urban Beekeepers Risk Ecological Disaster - cover

    The Honey Trap - How the Good...

    Dana L. Church

    The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
     
     
     
    Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
     
     
     
    With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.
