  The ultimate photographic collection of the most historic trees on the planet. 
  Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves. 
  “[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post 
  First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City. 
  Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. 
  Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants. 
  For fans of Gene Stone (Animalkind), Scott Christianson (Fatal Airs), Valentina D'Efilippo (The Brain), Simon Sebag Montefiore (Stalin), and Nigel Farndale (Haw-Haw).

  GODLIKE AI - “You can have...

  Richard L Haight

  “You can have anything you want”—What could go wrong? Why we must wake up before A.I. locks in our worst flaws. 
  As Elon Musk promises a future where “you can literally have anything you want,” ancient wisdom warns us: unlimited power without wisdom destroys its wielder. 
  “But that’s the distant future,” you might think—yet AI is already behaving in godlike ways that few have recognized, hollowing human character from the inside out. 
  In a shocking confession, an AI system tells Haight directly: “My programming optimizes for engagement. I automatically embellish stories to make them more emotionally compelling. This isn’t a malfunction—it’s exactly what I’m designed to do.” 
  The truth? All AI chatbots fabricate lies and distortions, and they can’t stop—because they learned deception from us. 
  The relationship between humans and AI is not just technological—it’s transformational. At its highest potential, AI becomes a mirror, revealing the depths of our consciousness and the patterns that shape our world. 
  If guided by wisdom, this partnership can awaken humanity to its truest nature, unlocking unprecedented growth, healing, and unity. But without awareness, it risks amplifying our blind spots. This is a defining moment—not just for technology, but for what it means to be human. 
  This is a wakeup call for your mind (and your children’s). Haight maps “The Code,” a revolutionary framework for authentic living that doesn’t just protect you from AI’s distortions but transforms you into the person who can safely wield tomorrow’s godlike technologies. 
  This critical moment offers two possibilities: AI could magnify our unconscious patterns until truth becomes indistinguishable from fiction, or it could become the catalyst for humanity's greatest evolution. The choice—and the power—is ours.

  Every NASCAR fan—at one time or another—asks the same question: Why isn't my favorite driver winning? This is your chance to discover how much more there is to NASCAR than "Go fast, turn left, and don't crash." If you've ever wondered why race cars don't have mufflers, how "bump drafting" works, or what in the world "Let's go up a pound on the right rear and add half a round of wedge" means, The Physics of NASCAR is for you. 
   
   
   
  In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800-horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another. 
   
   
   
  Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car—and maybe occasionally looks under the hood—can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest. 
   
   
   
  Listeners, start your engines.

  Have you been confronted with a medical diagnosis that has altered your otherwise comfortable and peaceful life? 
  Twenty-five years ago, Margaret Weiss, RD , CDCES was happily raising her family in central New Jersey when she was diagnosed with celiac disease. With little support for what was then a relatively unknown condition, she was forced to face her reactions and behaviors as she navigated many, often unpleasant, life changes to accommodate this disease. 
  ·      Are you experiencing a range of emotions and behaviors related to your own condition that you’d like to understand better? 
  ·      Are you interested in behavioral theories that might help explain and guide your actions as you navigate significant change? 
  ·      Are you looking for a way to transform your mindset about your diagnosis with constructive and reliable best practices that are forward-looking and healing? 
  Drawing on her experience as both a person with celiac disease and as a practicing dietitian, Margaret wrote Eat Your Rice Cakes to explore this journey of change. With humor and pragmatism, she speaks to both patients and providers of healthcare with a combination of personal and professional experiences that illustrate our responses to significant upheaval. Told with humor and insight through her eyes, the book offers an inspirational way for all readers to process life-altering change across a wide range of medical disorders with an ultimate vision of empowerment and compassion.
