  New York's Secret Subway - The...

  In the nineteenth century, Manhattan's streets were so choked with pedestrians, horses, vehicles, and vendors that a trip from City Hall to Central Park could take hours. Alfred Beach had the perfect solution: build a giant pneumatic tube underneath Broadway from the Battery to Harlem. Air pressure would shoot passengers up and down the island in clean, quiet carriages. But Beach was up against the operators of the horse-drawn streetcars and the politicians in their pay, most conspicuously William M. Tweed, the notorious "Boss" of Tammany Hall.New York's Secret Subway: The Underground Genius of Alfred Beach and the Origins of Mass Transit tells a classic story of good versus evil, pitting the mild-mannered Beach, a visionary inventor and entrepreneur, against the oafish tyrant Tweed, the exemplar of corruption in the Gilded Age. It also tells the story of one of the most astonishing feats of engineering in American history, the surreptitious creation of the nation's first operational subway. Unfortunately, political lethargy and greed would conspire to deny the city a subway for another thirty years. Yet Alfred Beach still proved conclusively the feasibility of underground railways in Manhattan, and paved the way for modern mass transportation systems. Although this true story took place more than a century ago, it will at times sound surprisingly familiar.

  Quantum 20 - The Weird Physics...

  Quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and even quantum AI—a century after the discovery of an unexpected physical world, researchers are putting this puzzling science to work in dazzling new ways. 
   
  In this exhilarating and mind-bending book, renowned scientist and author Paul Davies offers readers a glimpse of how quantum physics has led to a quantum technology revolution. Quantum 2.0 reveals how today’s brightest minds are harnessing exotic states of matter that have no counterpart in everyday life. Specifically, all eyes are on entanglement, called “spooky” by Einstein, which links the activities of separated particles even across vast distances. 
   
  By manipulating these weird properties of atoms, electrons, and photons, scientists are driving the burgeoning field of “quantum information science,” featuring new tools such as quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and the quantum internet. In turn, their efforts have attracted billions of dollars in investments and triggered a frantic quantum arms race between nations. At the same time, theorists are taking a closer look at quantum systems themselves, which possess properties that defy intuition and shred everyday notions of reality. Davies explains how researchers, including himself, are wrestling with quantum theory to make sense of this realm, where ghostly quantum particles produce tiny forces in nanotechnology, cause black holes to evaporate, and may even contribute to the universe’s accelerating expansion. A trusted guide, Davies takes readers from the basic concepts to today’s cutting edge, inviting us all to glimpse the wonderland of quantum physics and its stunning implications.

  What if the animals around you were whispering messages meant just for you? 
  Have you ever wondered why a crow lingers on your path, why a squirrel catches your attention, or why a butterfly appears at just the right moment? What if these encounters aren't random — but quiet invitations to notice something you've been missing? 
  Querine van Grinsven is a wildlife photographer and animal science graduate who has spent her life listening to animals across six continents. In Hidden Messages of Everyday Animals, she reveals what 33 common animals may be trying to tell you — through their symbolism, their folklore, and the feelings they stir when they cross your path. 
  This is not a field guide. It's a companion for anyone who has ever felt that animals carry something deeper — a message, a mirror, or a gentle nudge toward a truth you already sense inside. 
  In this audiobook, you'll discover the symbolic and spiritual meaning of 33 everyday animals, gentle reflections and personal encounters, simple practices to help you slow down and honour the messages nature offers you every day, folklore and nature facts that bring each animal to life — from ravens and dragonflies to horses and foxes — and a bonus section on animal lookalikes so you can tell apart the messengers you meet. 
  Whether you are an animal lover, a seeker of spiritual signs, or simply someone who longs to reconnect with the quiet wisdom of the natural world, this listening experience will become your trusted companion. If you love Animal Speak by Ted Andrews or The Secret Language of Animals, you'll treasure this heartfelt addition to your life.
