  This book contains the following titles: 
  Botany - Botany, the scientific study of plants, forms the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world and is crucial to numerous fields such as agriculture, medicine, and environmental science. Plants are integral to life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and raw materials. They play a fundamental role in the planet's ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance. By examining plants in-depth, botany reveals their structures, functions, and the intricate relationships they have with other living organisms. At its core, botany seeks to answer key questions about how plants grow, develop, reproduce, and adapt to their environments. This branch of biology explores a wide range of plant life, from the microscopic algae and fungi to towering trees and flowering plants. The study of plants extends beyond their mere anatomy and physiology; it also includes their evolutionary history, classification, and their interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors. 
  Sustainability - Sustainability refers to the practice of maintaining processes and systems that support the well-being of both current and future generations. It encompasses a broad range of disciplines, from ecology and economics to social equity, focusing on long-term balance and responsible use of resources. At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources.

  Cognitive Shortcuts That Mislead...

  This book consists of two titles, which are: 
  - The Confirmation Bias: Confirmation bias is a cognitive phenomenon that plays a significant role in shaping our beliefs and perceptions. It refers to the tendency of individuals to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms their preexisting beliefs or theories, while disregarding or minimizing evidence that contradicts those beliefs. This bias is not limited to any particular field or context and can influence people in a variety of ways, from politics and religion to personal relationships and health decisions. 
  - The Representativeness Heuristic: At its core, the representativeness heuristic simplifies decision-making by allowing individuals to rely on surface-level similarities rather than delving into deeper, more complex analyses. For example, if someone observes a well-dressed, articulate individual discussing financial markets, they might assume the person is a financial expert, even without any concrete evidence. This judgment stems from the resemblance of the observed traits to the prototype of a financial expert. However, such assumptions often overlook critical information, such as actual expertise or experience.

  Planetary Systems - A Very Short...

  Not long ago, the Solar System was the only example of a planetary system—a star and the bodies orbiting it—that we knew. Now, we know thousands of planetary systems, and have even been able to observe planetary systems at the moment of their birth. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction explores this new frontier, incorporating the latest research. The book takes the listener on a journey through the grand sweep of time, from the moment galaxies begin to form after the Big Bang to trillions of years in the future when the Universe will be a dilute soup of dim galaxies populated mostly by red dwarf stars. Throughout, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert introduces the latest insights gained from a new generation of telescopes that catch planetary systems at the moment of formation, and to the theoretical advances that attempt to make sense of these observations. He explains how the elements that make up life and the planets on which life can live are forged in the interiors of dying stars, and make their way into rocky planets. He also explores the vast array of newly discovered planets orbiting stars other than our own, and explains the factors that determine their climates. Finally, he reveals what determines how long planetary systems can live, and what happens in their end-times.
