  The Baby is Here! – Now What? For many women and men alike, this is the most important moment in life: The new family member is finally here! You've been waiting for this moment for months – and then realize: It's not all just pink happiness. The postpartum phase is a time of recovery, reorganization, and often a time of uncertainty – for both mom and dad: Are we doing everything right? Is the baby hungry or in pain? How can the body recover? Are digestive issues normal? How does the father find his role? How can we start building a close bond with our baby? And when will pleasure & sexuality return? This book answers these and many other questions compassionately, openly, and without false shame, and is a competent guide through the first weeks of new family life.

  Planting Our World

  It all begins and ends with plants. From the chance to live on this planet to the pleasure of listening to the sound of a violin—every story begins with a plant. 
   
   
   
  We animals account for a paltry 0.3% of the planet's biomass while plants add up to 85%. It is obvious that every story on this planet has a plant as its protagonist. Our world is a green world; Earth is the planet of plants. And when, with just a little training, we are able to look at the world without seeing it solely as humanity's playground, we cannot help but notice the ubiquity of plants. They are everywhere and their stories are inevitably wound up with ours. Not to see this plan, or even worse, to ignore its existence, is one of the most serious threats to the survival of our species. 
   
   
   
  Neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso is back with a book to tell us about the greenprint of our world. He does it through unforgettable stories starring plants; stories combining an inimitable narrative style and remarkable scientific rigor. From the story of the red spruce that gave Stradivarius the wood for his fourteen violins, to the Kauri tree stump, kept alive for decades by the interconnected root system of nearby trees. From the story of the slipperiness of the banana skin to the plant that solved the "crime of the century," the Lindbergh kidnapping, by way of wooden ladder rungs.

  Dark Energy – Puzzles from the Cosmic Deep explores the most profound and unsolved mysteries of the universe. This 3-in-1 volume pulls you into the heart of modern astrophysics and cosmology, where scientists are wrestling with forces that defy all expectations. At the center of it all is dark energy — the invisible phenomenon that’s not only real but accelerating the expansion of the universe itself. 
  In The Dark Energy Puzzle, you’ll trace the history of its discovery, from unexpected observations of distant supernovae to the revolutionary idea that empty space may not be empty at all. You'll learn how this unknown force challenges Einstein’s theories and leaves physicists grasping for answers that lie beyond current scientific frameworks. 
  Dark Forces dives deeper into the nature of the unseen universe, examining how dark energy interacts with gravity, time, and the structure of space itself. Could there be hidden dimensions? Is dark energy connected to the quantum vacuum? This section explores the weird and wondrous possibilities at the intersection of general relativity and quantum mechanics. 
  Finally, Cosmic Paradoxes brings the biggest questions to the forefront. Why is the universe accelerating? Will it expand forever—or rip itself apart in a catastrophic end? How can something we can't see or directly measure dominate the fate of everything? These paradoxes don’t just challenge our understanding of space—they force us to rethink the foundations of reality. 
  Perfect for curious minds fascinated by astronomy, cosmology, and the frontiers of theoretical physics, this book offers a rich and readable journey through one of the greatest puzzles in modern science. As you peer into the deep cosmos, you’ll uncover not just answers, but bigger and stranger questions.

  The Shortest History of AI - The...

  Since Alan Turing first posed the question "Can machines think?" artificial intelligence has evolved from a speculative idea to a transformative force. The Shortest History of AI traces this evolution, from Ada Lovelace's visionary work to IBM's groundbreaking defeat of the chess world champion and the revolutionary emergence of ChatGPT. It also explores AI's cultural journey, touching on classics such as Frankenstein, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. 
   
  Revealing how many "overnight" successes were decades in the making, this accessible and illuminating book helps us to understand how AI functions by explaining the six key ideas that animate it: it searches for answers using predetermined symbols and means-end analysis; it bases its answers on what sort of response it thinks it will get; it follows a set of rules in order to simulate human expertise; it copies the human brain by learning from experience; it uses reinforcement learning, rewarding its own successes and punishing itself for its failures; and it uses Bayes' theorem to calculate the probability of a cause based on its effect. 
   
  Fast-paced and rich with facts, The Shortest History of AI equips listeners to understand where we've been—and where we're headed.
