Summary

Superhuman Science explores the fascinating reality behind abilities once thought to be confined to comic books. Delving into advanced materials science, biomechanics, genetic engineering, and neurotechnology, the book reveals how invisibility, enhanced strength, and mind-controlled devices are gradually transitioning from fiction to potential fact. One intriguing insight is the development of metamaterials, which bend light to render objects seemingly invisible, impacting fields from military camouflage to medical imaging.

 
The book meticulously examines each "superpower" by tracing its scientific roots and current advancements. Beginning with fundamental principles, it progresses through the development of invisibility cloaks, explores genetic and biomechanical enhancements for strength, and concludes with brain-computer interfaces for mind control. Ethical considerations are woven throughout, recognizing the potential benefits and risks of these emerging technologies.

 
The book highlights the potential real-world applications of these technologies. Superhuman Science stands out by grounding its exploration in rigorous, peer-reviewed research, separating scientific fact from fictional fantasy. It provides a balanced perspective on the ethical and societal implications of these advancements, encouraging readers to consider the profound impact on warfare, healthcare, and our understanding of human potential.

    The answers to life's biggest questions can be found by looking at the little things . . . 
 
 
 
Though you may not be able to see them with the naked eye, parasites—miniscule life forms that live inside other organisms—inhabit our everyday lives. From headlice to bird droppings, litterboxes to unfiltered water, you have brushed up against the most common way of life on our planet. 
 
 
 
In this unique book, John Janovy Jr., one of the world's preeminent experts on parasites, reveals what can humans learn from the most reviled yet misunderstood animals on Earth: lice, tapeworms, flukes, and maggots that can eat a lizard from the inside, and how these lessons help us negotiate our own complicated world. Whether we're learning to adapt to adverse conditions, accept our own limitations, or process new information in an ever-changing landscape—we can be sure a parasite did it first. 
 
  
 
At once peculiar and profound, Life Lessons from a Parasite makes a case for using knowledge of the natural world, with all its wonderful mysteries and quirks, to tackle our worst problems.

    Tenacious Beasts - Wildlife...

    The news about wildlife is dire—more than 900 species have been wiped off the planet since industrialization. Against this bleak backdrop, however, there are also glimmers of hope and crucial lessons to be learned from animals that have defied global trends toward extinction: bears in Italy, bison in North America, whales in the Atlantic. These populations are back from the brink, some of them in numbers unimaginable in a century. How has this happened? What shifts in thinking did it demand? In crisp, transporting prose, Christopher Preston reveals the mysteries and challenges at the heart of these resurgences. 
 
 
 
Drawing on compelling personal stories from the researchers, Indigenous people, and activists who know the creatures best, Preston weaves together a gripping narrative of how some species are taking back vital, ecological roles. Each section of the book offers a philosophical shift in how humans ought to think about animals, passionately advocating for the changes in attitude necessary for wildlife recovery. 
 
 
 
Tenacious Beasts is quintessential nature writing for the Anthropocene, touching on different facets of ecological restoration from Indigenous knowledge to rewilding practices. More important, perhaps, the book offers a road map—and a measure of hope—for a future in which humans and animals can once again coexist.

  • The Edge of Reality - Two Scientists Evaluate What We Know of the UFO Phenomenon - cover

    The Edge of Reality - Two...

    From the outset, Hynek and Vallee make their position clear: UFOs represent an unknown but real phenomenon. The far-reaching implications take us to the edge of what we consider the known and real in our physical environment. Perhaps UFOs signal the existence of a domain of nature as yet totally unexplored. These two eminent scientists studied the UFO phenomenon for decades and collaborated on this landmark report. 
 
 
 
The authors sample UFO reports, including those allegedly involving humanoids, and describe the patterns that have been perceived in the behavior of the phenomenon. They also establish a framework for the further study of the UFO phenomenon. Where might such study lead? What can be studied, and how? What is the real nature of the UFO phenomenon? Does it originate with the actions of other intelligences in the universe? If so, where, and what, might they be? Does the UFO phenomenon have a purely physical explanation, or is there a vaster, hidden realm that holds the solution? 
 
 
 
These are the questions that have concerned the authors for many years, and it is with possible answers to them that The Edge of Reality is concerned. This book is a deep dive in discussion between Hynek and Vallee and covers many facets of the UFO phenomena. The Edge of Reality was originally published in 1975 and has been available for many years.
