  The Superluminal Universe -...

  The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Régis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second). At these extreme speeds, the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil's work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, provided that we allow for the possibility of a double reality: that alongside our sub-luminous universe, which follows the law of time, is a superluminal universe. This second reality is another universe, complementary to and symmetrical with ours, governed by superluminal space-time in which light moves 300,000 km/s to infinity. 
   
   
   
  In the superluminal universe, everything is instantaneous. It is possible to conceive of a superluminal being capable of moving from one end of space to the other. This parallel universe consists only of information and consciousness: all information (past, present, future) and the consciousness of all humanity. Professor Dutheil's thesis joins the intuitions of ancient philosophers with current quantum physics to blow our current notions of time, of past and present, of the nature of consciousness, of birth and death right out of the water.

  Sunlight and Us by Professor John Hawk offers an enlightening journey into the profound and diverse effects of sunlight on human health and the environment. Drawing from his extensive career in dermatological photobiology, Hawk delves into the origins of sunlight, its vital role in our lives, and its dual nature as both a giver of life and a potential hazard. 
  Through engaging narratives and scientific insights, Hawk navigates the complexities of sunlight’s impact on skin health, the intricacies of Vitamin D synthesis, and the global challenge of climate change. This work not only pays homage to the sun’s omnipresent influence but also underscores the delicate balance humanity must maintain with this powerful star.

  Of all the creatures of the deep blue, none is as captivating as the octopus. In Many Things Under a Rock, marine biologist David Scheel investigates four major mysteries about these elusive beings. How can we study an animal with perfect camouflage and secretive habitats? How does a soft and boneless creature defeat sharks and eels, while thriving as a predator of the most heavily armored animals in the sea? How do octopus bodies work? And how does a solitary animal form friendships, entice mates, and outwit rivals? 
   
   
   
  Over the course of his twenty-five years studying octopuses, Scheel has witnessed a sea change in what we know and are able to discover about octopus physiology and behavior—even an octopus's inner life. Here he explores amazing new scientific developments, weaving accounts of his own research, and surprising encounters, with stories and legends of Indigenous peoples that illuminate our relationship with these creatures across centuries. In doing so, he reveals a deep affinity between humans and even the most unusual and unique undersea dwellers. 
   
   
   
  Octopuses are complex, emotional, and cognitive beings. This is the story of what we have learned and what we are still learning about the natural history and wondrous lives of these animals with whom we share our blue planet.

  You loved the books about trees that share sugar, fungi that trade nutrients and octopuses that solve puzzles, and now you want that same warm, careful wonder for the biggest animals alive. Most whale books are either textbooks or picture books for kids, and neither is what you reach for on a long walk or a quiet evening.
  
  This audiobook follows a humpback and a sperm whale across one whole life, from a warm shallow lagoon through the first migration beside its mother, learning the clan's dialect, the long dark dives, motherhood and old age. Each chapter centers on one documented behavior, such as songs that spread across an ocean like hit records, bubble-net hunting, mourning over a lost calf, or a whale fall feeding the seafloor for decades. Every chapter ends by separating what researchers actually know from what still puzzles them, then brings the story back to your own coast, river or family table.
  
  By the last chapter, the sea outside your window will feel inhabited. Press play and let the whales carry you out.

  The Honey Trap - How the Good...

  The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
   
   
   
  Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
   
   
   
  With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.
