  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong is the eighth paradigm-jolting book by the man Britain's Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century, Howard Bloom. 
  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos makes mincemeat of two of science's most cherished laws. And it tells you the tale of this cosmos, this planet, life, climate change, and your role and mine, from a meticulously researched point of view that will make your eyes pop. 
  Says the producer of seven BBC-TV science series including the classic Connections, James Burke, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a triumph...full of surprises." 
  Declares MacArthur Genius Award winner Richard Foreman, The Case Of The Sexual Cosmos is "a massive achievement. Wow!" 
  Adds Harvard's Ellen Langer, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a fascinating read.......[Bloom] argues that we are not savaging the earth as some would have it, but instead are growing the cosmos." 
  Concludes novelist Helen Zuman, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos pulls "us out of Greta Thunberg's self-hate machine" and shows that, "The true tragedy is not war or climate catastrophe. It's rejecting the exuberant flamboyance of exactly who we are."

  Crusoe Castaways and Shipwrecks...

  “Fascinating” stories of real-life people and events that inspired the author of the classic adventure novel Robinson Crusoe (Historical Novel Society).   This book looks at some of the stories that inspired Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe—stories of bravery, determination, and good fortune, as well as human negligence, sheer stupidity, and bad luck. In addition to an overview of Defoe’s life and his monumentally successful novel, it also considers some of the reasons why people found themselves cast away—as a result of being wrecked, abandoned as a punishment, or marooned by pirates, or even out of deliberate choice.   Major hurricanes in the eighteenth century causing huge damage to shipping and loss of life are also covered, along with catastrophes when ships were lost, and astonishing tales of survival in the face of adversity—down in the Falklands, in the Caribbean, and off the coast of Australia. It looks at how being cast away brings out the best in some—and in others the very worst. And it examines perhaps the most astonishing story of them all—sixty slaves abandoned on a desolate treeless island in the Indian Ocean and left there for fifteen years, some of whom survived against all odds.

  What the Bears Know - How I...

  In the late 1990s, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California, hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task, the bears soon won him over, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed nonlethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation that heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. But change was not without its challenges. To some, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment, and eventually became not just local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears, but, in many ways, his community. 
   
   
   
  In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don't? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. As Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world, you'll never look at bears or nature the same way again.
