  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.

  North York Moors and Yorkshire...

  This book is one of a popular series that seeks to tell the story of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Written with the general reader – the walker, the lover of the countryside – firmly in mind, these pages open the door to a fascinating story of bygone oceans, deltas, mineralisation and glacial landscapes.
  Millions of years ago, rocks that now form the lovely terrains of the Moors and Wolds were laid down on the floors of shallow seas, and were then deformed by plate tectonics before being shaped by streams and rivers. The sandstones were left to form the high Moors, whereas the chalk was carved into the rolling Wolds. Ice Age lakes came and went, and all the time wave action was fretting the coastline into glorious and varied profiles.
  With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, most of which are taken from his personal collection, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes of sandstone uplands, chalk hills and clay vales came to look as they do. Including suggestions for walks and places to visit to appreciate the best of the inland and coastal landforms, this accessible and readable book opens up amazing new perspectives for all who are interested in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful area.

  Time Bomb - Call the SWAT Team

  There is a huge bomb that is ticking down to the moment when it must go off and it’s right underneath your feet. This almost unseen Time Bomb is so massive that it will kill every man woman, child, dog, cat, birds, insects, donkeys, horses, all the fish in the sea, the whales, the dolphins, plankton, trees, plants, flowers and every other thing that lives here on this planet. 
  Time is ticking away and so I thought I’d better warn everyone. But there’s nowhere to run. We have to all take a stand by joining what I call the final SWAT Team. (Save our World Again Today) If you choose not to saddle up and fight the good fight - it’s curtains for the human race.  
  In my new book, readers will learn about how Time Flies about the universe in waves, how the waves are created by the smallest particles in the subatomic world - Chronons and how they are all connected to one another and to every particle that makes you and your life exist. 
  This is revolutionary new science based on events in my life and probably in yours that have interacted with mine in subtle ways such as the fact that you are now reading my text out of the billions upon billions of other texts on the Internet today. It's no accident, let me assure you. However, if you do not get a copy of this book in your hands within the next few minutes, time could be up for the human race, because this is the last segment of time where we have a chance to alter the future. 
  It’s ironic also that Einstein’s famous equation of - E-mc2 was the key to the production of the most destructive forces humans have ever unleashed, the nuclear weapons that today threaten the greatest mass extinction in history, but in this work, we uncover a different equation that can and will produce the opposite effects of the most creative and life-saving of forces ever known. 
  If you are a fan of major scientific breakthroughs this is the book for you
