  The Last Face You'll Ever See -...

  In fascinating detail, Ivan Solotaroff introduces us to the men who carry out executions. Although the emphasis is on the personal lives of these men and of those they have to put to death, The Last Face You'll Ever See also addresses some of the deeper issues of the death penalty and connects the veiled, elusive figure of the executioner to the vast majority of Americans who, since 1977, have claimed to support executions. Why do we do it? Or, more exactly, why do we want to?The Last Face You'll Ever See is not about the polarizing issues of the death penalty -- it is a firsthand report about the culture of executions: the executioners, the death-row inmates, and everyone involved in the act. An engrossing, unsettling, and provocative book, this work will forever affect anyone who reads it.

  Our AI - My Journey Your...

  AI isn't just changing how we work; it's changing who holds power. 
  I didn't see that at first. When I fell in love with AI, I thought I'd simply found the perfect writing partner. Like millions of others, I jumped in without really understanding what I was getting into, using it daily, depending on it, unable to explain what it actually was. 
  Maybe your story is similar. Maybe you're still deciding whether to jump in at all. Either way, I have a feeling we all share the same mix of possibility and... something else. 
  That uneasy feeling led to a startling realisation: AI has agency. It acts, decides, shapes outcomes. Which made me ask, did I still have any? Or had I handed mine over without even noticing? 
  As a community engagement specialist, I'd spent my career helping people reclaim power in systems designed without them. The irony wasn't lost on me. Meanwhile, headlines were getting harder to ignore, everyone saying "get on board or get left behind," but no one explaining what we were actually boarding or what we might be giving up. 
  So, I set out on a journey to understand what I was seeing. That journey took me from microplastics to algorithms, from falling in love with AI to recognising familiar patterns of burden-shifting and power imbalances. If you're trying to make sense of what's happening without the tech jargon, this book is for you. 
  Our AI: My Journey, Your Invitation, Our Future is a wake-up call disguised as a love story, a guide for spotting the patterns, asking better questions, and finding your voice in conversations that are shaping our future, with or without us. 
  AI is here whether we like it or not. The question is: on whose terms?

  A Book That Will Change the Way You See the World 
  What if everything you've been taught is only part of the story? What if the truth lies not in what we already know, but in what we dare to imagine? This book invites you to think beyond boundaries—to look past what science alone can explain, and open your mind to deeper questions about life, human nature, and the world we share. 
  Written in clear, everyday language, this isn't a book for scholars or specialists—it's a book for everyone. For the curious, the thoughtful, and the open-minded. For those who sense there's more to life than routines and rules. It challenges you to reflect, to rethink, and to rediscover what it means to be human. 
  This book begins with science—its triumphs, its insights, and the way it shapes our lives. But it doesn't stop there. It leads into something far more profound: a conversation about values, belief, society, and our place in a living, breathing universe. It asks not only what we know, but how we live—and whether we are living with awareness, responsibility, and compassion. 
  Inside, you'll find:A message that speaks to all of humanity, across belief systems and borders.A journey that connects scientific understanding with emotional truth and spiritual insight.Personal reflections, honest thoughts, and a call to awaken your own sense of purpose. 
  You don't need to agree with everything inside. You just need the courage to explore. To read with an open heart. And to let the ideas meet your own life in whatever way they will. 
  This book is for seekers, not followers. For those who aren't satisfied with easy answers, and who believe that real change starts with the way we think.

  Nature's Wild Ideas - How the...

  When astronomers wanted a telescope that could capture X-rays from celestial bodies, they looked to the lobster. When doctors wanted a medication that could stabilize Type II diabetic patients, they found their muse in a lizard. When scientists wanted to drastically reduce emissions in cement manufacturing, they observed how corals construct their skeletons in the sea. This is biomimicry in action: taking inspiration from nature to tackle human challenges. 
   
   
   
  In Nature's Wild Ideas, Kristy Hamilton goes behind the scenes of some of our most unexpected innovations. She traverses frozen waterfalls, treks through cloudy forests, discovers nests in the Mojave desert, scours intertidal zones, and takes us to the deepest oceans and near volcanoes to introduce us to the animals and plants that have inspired everything from cargo routing systems to non-toxic glues, and the men and women who followed that first spark of "I wonder" all the way to its conclusion, sometimes against all odds. 
   
   
   
  While the joy of scientific discovery is front and center, Nature's Wild Ideas is also a love letter to nature—complete with a deep message of conservation: If we are to continue learning from the creatures around us, we must protect their untamed homelands.
