Sinossi

The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places.



Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.



In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.

    Most people aspire to become property owners and view real estate investments as an important way to build wealth and security. Mortgages are the norm. But does this system truly serve the well-being of either the economy or the individual? Martin Adams shares a view that profiting from land ownership causes social and cultural decline as well as environmental devastation. He introduces a radically new economic model that points to a more fair and abundant reality for everyone. He says this about mortgages, “As long as it remains an ongoing reality for the majority of human beings to have to pay other human beings for the land that they’re standing on, the economic system will forever cause wealth inequality at a core level.” Tune into this dynamic dialogue in order to fully understand his vision of a more equitable economic system that takes banks out of the picture and puts community in the center of economic of wealth and prosperity.

    In the beginning, the universe was nothing more than a dense singularity—silent, timeless, and still. Then came the Big Bang, a colossal eruption that scattered matter and energy in every direction. From this explosion, light was born. It was the first visible sign of creation, a brilliant flash that broke the void and ignited the formation of stars, galaxies, and eventually life. Light traveled fast, racing across the empty stretches of the newborn cosmos. It became the symbol of birth and beginning, of knowledge and awareness. Without light, the universe would remain unseen and unknown, a place without structure or story. 
    But where there is light, there must also be darkness. Darkness is not just the absence of light—it is its counterpart. It filled the vast spaces between stars and galaxies, the silent shadows where light couldn’t reach. In many ways, darkness defines the boundaries of light, giving it contrast and shape. Without the dark, light would have no form. As stars began to shine and galaxies spun into form, so did the shadows. Black holes, vast voids, and mysterious dark matter began to shape the cosmic landscape. Darkness became more than empty space; it became a force of its own, influencing the movement of galaxies and the very structure of the universe. 
    The birth of stars played a crucial role in this balance. When matter began to clump together under gravity, stars ignited through nuclear fusion. These glowing spheres of heat and light pierced the darkness, scattering energy into the cosmos. But every star also cast shadows, created contrast, and eventually faded back into darkness when their fuel was spent. Supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes emerged from the deaths of stars, returning their light to the cosmic dark. This cycle of creation and destruction shows how light and darkness are deeply connected—each one gives rise to the other.
