    For many, the past few years have been defined by climate disaster. Stories about once-in-a-lifetime hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts, and even snowstorms are now commonplace. But dramatic weather events are not new and Northeaster, Cathie Pelletier's breathtaking account of the 1952 snowstorm that blanketed New England, offers a valuable reminder about nature's capacity for destruction as well as insight into the human instinct for preservation. 
     
     
     
    Northeaster weaves together a rich cast of characters whose lives were uprooted and endangered by the storm. Housewives and lobstermen, loggers and soldiers were all trapped as snow piled in drifts twenty feet high. The storm smothered hundreds of travelers in their cars, covered entire towns, and broke ships in half. In the midst of the blizzard's chaos, there were remarkable acts of heroism and courageous generosities. Doctors braved the storm to help deliver babies. Ordinary people kept their wits while buried in their cars, and others made their way out of forests to find kindhearted strangers willing to take them in. 
     
     
     
    It's likely that none of us know how we would handle a confrontation with a blizzard or other natural disaster. But Northeaster shows that we have it inside to fight for survival in some of the harshest conditions that nature has to offer.

    Atoms are unfathomably tiny. It takes fifteen million trillion of them to make up a single poppy seed—give or take a few billion. And there's hardly anything to them: atoms are more than 99.9999999999 percent empty space. Yet scientists have learned to count these slivers of near nothingness with precision and to peer into their internal states. In looking so closely, we have learned that atoms, because of their inimitable signatures and imperturbable internal clocks, are little archives holding the secrets of the past. 
     
     
     
    David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe—back to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years ago—with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell, answering questions such as: Is a medieval illustrated prayer book real or forged? How did maize cultivation spread from the highlands of central Mexico to New England? What was Earth's climate like before humans emerged? Where can we find clues to identify the culprit in the demise of the dinosaurs? When did our planet and solar system form? Can we trace the births of atoms in the cores of massive stars or even glimpse the origins of the universe itself?

    Open source software finds its connections with free software and is part of free and open source software over the extended term. Open-source software (OSS) is a form of computer software program that releases source code under a licensing legitimacy wherein the copyright holder allows users the privilege to analyze, modify and share the software to anyone and for any productive purpose. Open-source software may be created either freely and collaboratively. Open-source software is a case in point of open collaboration. 
    The progress of open-source software will offer assorted perspectives beyond those of a single enterprise A 2008 study from the Standish Group reported that the implementation of open-source software models culminated in savings for customers of around $60 billion (£ 48 billion) annually. Initiatives of open source software are undertaken and managed by a network of voluntary programming associations and are commonly used in the gamut of both free and commercial outputs.

    National Bestseller 
    Don’t despair. Don’t retreat. Fight back. 
    A call-to-action for Democrats, moderate Republicans, and other anti-Trump dissenters, detailing the history of social and political policies, how Obama treated them, how Trump has the power to undermine them, and what people can do to fight back. 
    The stunning election of Donald J. Trump rocked an already divided America and left scores of citizens, including the nearly sixty-five million voters who supported Hillary Clinton, feeling bereft and powerless. Now, Gene Stone, author of The Bush Survival Bible, offers invaluable guidance and concrete solutions the resistance can use to make a difference in this serious call-to-arms—showing them how to move from anger and despair to activism against the Trump presidency and its potentially lasting effects on our democracy.   
    Before we can successfully engage, we need to be clear about the battles we face. Stone outlines political and social concepts—including such issues as Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, the Environment, Obamacare, International relations, and LGBTQ Rights—providing a brief history of each, a refresher on Obama's policies over his eight years in office, and an analysis of how Trump’s administration is threatening them. But lest we feel overwhelmed by the scale of the threat and settle for aimless outrage, Stone then provides an invaluable guide for fighting back—referring to organizations, people, sites, and countless other resources that are working tirelessly to restore the power of the people, safeguard our democracy, and ensure that none of us are left behind in our quest for relentless and equitable progress. 
    While marches and social media are important forms of protest, concrete actions that achieve real and measurable change are a vital part of the fight. Positive and reinforcing, The Trump Survival Guide presents the essential information we need to effectively make our voices heard and our power felt, during the Trump presidency and beyond.

    Ex Machina - The God Experiment

    The philosophical exploration of reality has fascinated humanity since Plato's Allegory of the Cave and has reached new dimensions through technological and intellectual breakthroughs. From Descartes' skepticism of sensory perceptions to Daniel Dennett's provocative "illusionism," the nature of our conscious experiences is continually called into question. Yet, while neuroscience defends consciousness as real, the debate remains alive, shaping scientific and societal discourses.
    With George Berkeley's subjective idealism, which defines reality as a product of perception, and the groundbreaking concepts of Mach and Einstein, our understanding of space, time, and existence has been radically transformed. These philosophical foundations pave the way for one of the most intriguing questions of our time: Are we living in a simulation? What was once the realm of science fiction now occupies the forefront of cutting-edge research inspired by quantum physics, and the theories of computation and information.In their Scientific-Philosophical work – SciPhi – Anders Indset and Florian Neukart explore the hypothesis that our universe might be part of a chain of simulations – a concept with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of existence, theology, and the laws governing the cosmos. Together they examine the roles of computability, entropy, and the boundaries of physical laws within this chain of simulations. Could a collapse occur if resources are exhausted? And what does this mean for the notion of an infinite, external entity?
    With a clear focus on experimental approaches, Indset and Neukart analyze how we might uncover evidence about the nature of our reality. Although computational boundaries are still to be overcome,the authors, through observations and analysis on the simulation theories, open new perspectives on the profound questions of existence – while acknowledging the limits of current scientific knowledge.
    A compelling and profound book that encourages readers to think beyond the nature of reality and redefine the mystery of our existence.
