  Biocivilisations - A New Look at...

  Biocivilisations is an important, original rethinking of the mystery of life and its deep uncertainty, exploring the complex civilisations that existed on Earth long before humans.  
  What is life? Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.  
  The term biocivilisations is the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of life, as opposed to a quasi-certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution. Life existed without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth’s existence. Life will also continue without humans long after our inevitable extinction.  
  In Biocivilisations, Dr Predrag Slijep?evi? shows how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but demonstrate elements of how we celebrate human civilisation – complex communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more.  
  Humans must try to adopt this wisdom from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own. By rethinking the current scientific paradigm, Dr Slijep?evi? makes clear that a transformation – from a naïve young species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings – will save us from our own violence and the violence we inflict on the rest of our living planet.

  Meet the brilliant mavericks who invented the future of medicine and saved the lives of millions. 
  The Essence of Invention tells the story of medical inventors who have laid the foundation for modern patient care, from the development of anesthesia and safe surgery to the advent of vaccines against smallpox, polio, and Covid-19, and how, through creativity and persistence, they have changed the world. 
   
  The same kind of energy that drove Van Gogh or the Beatles can manifest itself in medicine as inventiveness and the creation of new medical devices. The field may feel very different from what is traditionally considered a creative industry, but the fundamental motivation and aspiration to create and the conviction and resilience needed to do so are the same. 
   
  Dr. Murphy celebrates the creative energy of courageous men and women, honors their unique gifts, and explains how a culture of creativity and collaboration can and must be established around them to allow their talents to take flight.

  Wernher von Braun ( March 23, 1912 – June 16, 1977) was a German aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and a pioneer of space technology and science in the United States. 
  After World War II, von Braun was secretly moved to the US, along with roughly 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. 
  He served as director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1955, von Braun became a naturalized citizen of the United States. In 1975, von Braun received the National Medal of Science. This recording is from Dr. Von Braun's speech at the 1st Annual SOLE Symposium, September 13, 1966, in Huntsville Alabama.

  From the strange behavior of subatomic particles to the revolutionary theories that challenge our classical intuitions, this meticulously crafted work guides readers through the quantum landscape that underlies our universe. 
  Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics introduces the core mathematical framework and philosophical concepts that revolutionized physics in the early 20th century. Explore wave-particle duality, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and the probabilistic nature of quantum systems through clear explanations and illuminating thought experiments. Discover how these radical ideas emerged from experimental puzzles that classical physics could not resolve. 
  Introduction to Quantum Mechanics builds upon these foundations, delving into the elegant mathematics of Schrödinger's equation, quantum operators, and Hilbert spaces. Examine fundamental quantum systems from the particle in a box to the quantum harmonic oscillator, and understand how these models provide insights into real-world phenomena from atomic structure to molecular bonding. Master the techniques of quantum analysis through carefully selected examples that bridge theory and application. 
  Introduction to Quantum Field Theory takes readers to the frontier of modern theoretical physics, where particles emerge as excitations of underlying quantum fields. Explore how quantum electrodynamics reconciles quantum mechanics with special relativity, providing our most precise physical theory to date.
