  The modern racing yacht is awash with onboard instruments and electronics giving enormous amounts of data. But few people fully understand how to get the most out of all the information at their fingertips, let alone make it useful for the team to enable them to win races. But ace navigators, Mark Chisnell and Gilberto Pastorella, do – both have worked with professional sailing programmes all over the world – from America's Cup to Maxi, ORC / IRC and one-design fleets. In Mastering Data to Win they take the reader through the process: from understanding the concepts, ensuring accuracy, using the data to win races and then post-race analysis to find performance gains. By mastering your instruments you can make the right calls every time and know for certain when to tack, which shift to look out for and how the tide can work with or against you. With colour diagrams and photographs throughout, this instructional guide turns information into excellence.  Accessible to those new to racing, it also has a depth of information that will transform the performance of even professional sailors.

Delta sleep is the phase in which the body regenerates and rebalances itself for the new day.Getting enough sleep is therefore essential for a healthy, productive life. This program has been proven to increase delta wave activity in your brain. The program has already helped many people to find regular, restful, and revitalizing sleep.

  Planta Sapiens - The New Science...

  An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
   
   
   
  A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

  The Xenotext: Book 2

  The first work of ‘living poetry’ in the world, by the author of the bestselling book Eunoia. 
  Christian Bök in Book 1 of The Xenotext outlined his plan to encode a poem into the genome of a deathless bacterium, thereby writing a text durable enough to outlive any apocalypse, surviving until the death of the Sun itself. After more than two decades of effort, Bök has, at last, succeeded at this incredible experiment, and Book 2 of The Xenotext situates his enterprise within the deep time of the cosmos. 
  Bök rehearses some of the techniques likely to be used in the future to preserve the cultural heritage of our civilization against a potential planetary disaster (be it thermonuclear warfare or astrophysical barrage); moreover, Bök speculates that, buried within the biochemistry of Life itself, there really does exist an innate beauty, if not a hidden poetry – a literal message that we might read, if we deign to seek it.

  Beneath our feet lies a world of farmers, builders, soldiers, nurses, and explorers. 
   
  In Life Among the Ants, Vance Randolph offers an engaging introduction to the remarkable biology and social organization of one of nature’s most successful insects. 
   
  Beginning with the ant’s anatomy, senses, and internal systems, Randolph explains how queens establish new colonies, how ants develop through complete metamorphosis, and how workers, soldiers, and other specialized castes cooperate to keep their communities alive. 
   
  The journey continues through some of the ant world’s most fascinating societies. Discover harvesting ants that gather and store seeds, leaf-cutting ants that cultivate fungus, honey ants that preserve food within living members of the colony, and ants that tend aphids for their sweet honeydew. Randolph also examines army ants, territorial conflict, and the extraordinary behavior of species that raid neighboring colonies. 
   
  Originally published as an accessible work of popular science, Life Among the Ants combines natural history with vivid observations of cooperation, adaptation, survival, and social behavior. 
   
  Narrated by Kris Keppeler, this classic exploration offers curious listeners an illuminating glimpse into the complex civilizations thriving just beneath the surface of the natural world.
