The Ocean by Sturla Henriksen is a compelling exploration of the ocean's profound influence on human history, contemporary society, and the critical role it plays in addressing existential challenges.
Of the codified laws of nature, only one inscribes a direction to time: the dreaded second law of thermodynamics, which declares that the disorder of a closed system tends to increase as time passes. New shoes eventually scuff, our bodies weaken and die. Yet our senses tell us that miraculous order constantly emerges, too: children grow and learn; spontaneous patterns manifest in murmurations of starlings. Can it be true that the laws of our universe mandate only dissolution? In Time's Second Arrow, star scientists Robert M. Hazen and Michael L. Wong overturn more than a century of scientific canon, arguing that there must be a second "arrow of time"—a missing law of nature that explains how the marvelously complex constituents of our universe came to be. Evolution, they propose, is a universal phenomenon—not only in biology, but in the entire atomic, chemical, mineral, and physical universe. Showing how a natural process of selection for increasing function has shaped the universe, they explore how this new law could possibly help us identify life on other planets and understand the purpose and meaning of life on Earth in a new way. Time's Second Arrow reveals how our cosmic inheritance includes a drive toward wondrous invention and progress—ultimately revising our understanding of the universe and our place within it.Ver livro

Buy now to get the main key ideas from David Attenborough's A Life on Our Planet Humans have long ruled the natural world, bending it to our will and desires. But all actions have consequences, and we’ve only just begun to see the destruction our actions have caused on our planet. In A Life on Our Planet, David Attenborough discusses how we as a species arrived at this crucial juncture in our planet’s history, and what we must do in order to return it to balance. The most important step is increasing our planet’s biodiversity. With more species of plants and animals, that means more food sources for both animals and humans, better carbon intake, and an overall better functioning ecosystem. With climate change, species going extinct, and an ever-increasing population, we are seeing the signs that Earth is at its tipping point. We must act now and begin to return Earth to its natural state, or potentially lose it forever.Ver livro

Book Summary of "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari Important note: This is not the original book. This is a book summary of the following book: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari About Our species, Homo sapiens, started out as just another insignificant animal—among countless others. But at some point, homo sapiens made a rapid jump to domination over all other species. This rapid rise has left humanity anxious, destructive, and often miserable—despite all our efforts to be happy. Yuval Noah Harari's book 'Sapiens,' traces the origins and effects of what we think of as “human progress” from small bands of hunter-gatherers 100,000 years ago to the present-day global network through which our species has come to dominate the Earth. This bird's-eye view of human history delves into the development of sapiens' social organization and the structural features of human cultures through which our species has spread and evolved, including breakthroughs like human language, the use of human imagination, and the rise of the concept of a better future that lies just beyond the horizon. Through these mechanisms, our species has evolved into a species that's increasingly in control of our own destiny. This book considers how this evolution has occurred, whether this progress has been beneficial, and what the future might hold for our species. Here's what you'll learn about in this summary: —How our species has evolved, not just biologically, but socially. —How history, overall, is moving in the direction of global unity of humankind. —How none of the outcomes of history have been inevitable, and the flexible nature of the social order may mean that our species can control its destiny.Ver livro
