  This is a biography of Earthopolis, the only Urban Planet we know of. It is a history of how cities gave humans immense power over Earth, for good and for ill. Carl Nightingale takes readers on a sweeping six-continent, six-millennium tour of the world’s cities, culminating in the last 250 years, when we vastly accelerated our planetary realms of action, habitat, and impact, courting dangerous new consequences and opening prospects for new hope. In Earthopolis we peek into our cities’ homes, neighborhoods, streets, shops, eating houses, squares, marketplaces, religious sites, schools, universities, offices, monuments, docklands, and airports to discover connections between small spaces and the largest things we have built. The book exposes the Urban Planet’s deep inequalities of power, wealth, access to knowledge, class, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and nation. It asks us to draw on the most just and democratic moments of Earthopolis’s past to rescue its future.

  Alternative Dimensions & the...

  In this book the theory of multiverses, ancient cultures which came from other dimensions, dimensional shifting testimonies, and a lot more are included for your review and discussion. 
  The Multiverse was proposed long ago by the ancient Greeks. In modern times this subject has become very active among physicists. There is also some real modern evidence that the Multiverse exists. 
  My curiosity about alternative dimensions is the result of research for my first book on ancient Ireland which recorded that the Tutha Da Dannan (forebears of the Elves and Druids) who came from “The Otherworld”. 
  I have also collected many testimonies and stories about people who experienced dimensional shifts which appear in this book too. 
  It is also possible that many reports of Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, Dragons, and more all also tied up in the potential reality of the Multiverse. 
  After reading this book you may become convinced that the multiverse really exists and this would explain many of the strange events in our lives. The world we live in is a much stranger place than most of us would believe.

  Galactic Ghosts - How Dark...

  Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in modern science. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it makes up approximately 27% of the universe’s total mass and energy. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it completely transparent to current observational instruments. However, scientists are certain of its existence due to its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Its discovery has led to a major shift in our understanding of the cosmos, revealing that most of the universe’s matter remains hidden from our view. 
  The term "dark matter" was first introduced in the early 20th century, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that astronomers began to recognize its significant role in the universe. In 1933, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed the motion of galaxies within clusters and noted that the amount of visible matter in these clusters was insufficient to account for their observed gravitational effects. This led him to propose the existence of an unseen form of matter, which he referred to as "dark matter." Over the following decades, similar observations were made by astronomers studying the rotation of individual galaxies. The rotation speeds of galaxies were found to be much higher than what could be explained by the visible matter in the galaxies. This discrepancy suggested that there was additional, unseen matter providing extra gravitational pull, keeping the galaxies intact and preventing them from flying apart. 
  Dark matter does not interact with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, which is why it cannot be directly observed. It’s not made up of the usual atoms and particles that constitute the familiar matter we see in everyday life. Instead, it seems to consist of particles that do not interact with electromagnetic forces, which is why they are invisible.

  In the intricate tapestry of technological evolution, Robotics emerges as a pivotal thread, weaving through the fabric of innovation and shaping the very contours of our future. As we stand at the nexus of man and machine, the world of Robotics unfolds, offering a symphony of possibilities and challenges. This book, titled "Robotics: Engineering the Future," embarks on a compelling journey through the labyrinth of advancements, exploring the profound impact of Robotics on society, industries, and our collective trajectory into the unknown. 
  Engineering the Future: Innovations and Developments in Robotics is more than a mere exploration of nuts, bolts, and circuits. It is a chronicle of the extraordinary, charting the evolution of robotics from its humble beginnings to the forefront of cutting-edge technologies. As we delve into the fundamentals, the pulsating heartbeat of robotics—comprising mechanics, electronics, and computer science—reveals itself. The various types of robots, from the stalwart industrial machines to the autonomous explorers, are dissected to unveil their unique roles in reshaping our daily lives. 
  This odyssey through the world of robotics wouldn't be complete without acknowledging the transformative milestones that have paved the way. From the first clunky industrial arm to the sleek, intelligent humanoid, the journey is marked by leaps in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor technologies. The ripple effects of these innovations touch every corner of our existence, influencing industries, healthcare, and even venturing into the vastness of space.

  The question is no longer if electric vehicles will happen, or even when they'll happen, but how. Veteran automotive reporter Mike Colias takes you inside the transformation in this thoroughly reported profile of the hard pivot in the car business, a $2 trillion industry undergoing the biggest change in its 120-year history—a change that is already sending ripples across the entire global economy. 
   
   
   
  Colias documents the inevitable shift from pistons to electrons from every angle, taking you inside the boardrooms where executives battle over their EV strategies to take on Tesla and, more recently, emerging Chinese powerhouses such as BYD. He brings you to family-run car dealerships deciding if they'll sell EVs—or sell their businesses. He follows entrepreneurs along lonely stretches of road that will soon need charging stations. He talks to power-train engineers whose skills were once the beating heart of the automotive industry but who now find themselves being replaced by coders. 
   
   
   
  Inevitable is a deeply enjoyable and smart book that uses masterful storytelling to capture the expanse and dynamism of the transition to electric vehicles in profound detail, bringing to life its seismic effects on everything and everyone.

  What qualities distinguish an excellent forager? 
    
  He can detect and discover edible wild plants in his immediate surroundings. 
    
  However, this task may sometimes be intimidating, with over 80,000 edible species to choose from.  
  However, it is essential that every forager, whether novice or experienced, knows his plants and mushrooms. 
    
  All a forager needs is this guide to help him identify edible wild plants and mushrooms in his area. 
    
  We selected, discussed, and discovered 50 edible wild plants that a forager may encounter during his adventures. 
    
  So, how prepared are you for the foraging revolution? 
    
  The hunting and gathering period is returning, and you don't want to be left behind.  
  The ability to forage is something that everyone needs at this time. 
    
  It would be best if you had all the required instruments in your arsenal. There are several places to get this information, but none are as reliable as a book on the subject.
