  An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
  		 
  Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
  		 
  In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
  		 
  Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

  An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
   
   
   
  A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

  This book bundle invites you on a journey through the most mysterious realms of modern astrophysics and cosmology. From the enigmatic forces of dark energy to the elusive particles of dark matter, this collection delves into the unseen forces shaping the universe. The Dark Universe explores the profound and largely invisible elements that make up 95% of the cosmos, questioning how something so dominant could remain so hidden. 
  In The Shadow Universe, we dive into theoretical realms where parallel dimensions, quantum fluctuations, and alternate realities challenge the limits of human understanding. What if our universe is just one of many, layered in a vast multiverse, shaped by laws we can barely begin to comprehend? These shadowy ideas push scientific boundaries and inspire both awe and unease. 
  Finally, The Silent Universe examines the eerie stillness of deep space, where black holes consume light and time stretches to near infinity. Here, silence isn't the absence of sound—it's a profound metaphor for our limited perception of the cosmos. Together, these volumes reveal a universe far more complex, beautiful, and strange than we ever imagined.
