  Why? The Purpose of the Universe

  Philip Goff

  Why are we here? What's the point of existence? On the "big questions" of meaning and purpose, Western thought has been dominated by the dichotomy of traditional religion and secular atheism. In this pioneering work, Philip Goff argues that it is time to move on from both God and atheism. Through an exploration of contemporary cosmology and cutting-edge philosophical research on consciousness, Goff argues for cosmic purpose: the idea that the universe is directed towards certain goals, such as the emergence of life. 
   
   
   
  In contrast to religious thinkers, Goff argues that the traditional God is a bad explanation of cosmic purpose. Instead, he explores a range of alternative possibilities for accounting for cosmic purpose, from the speculation that we live in a computer simulation to the hypothesis that the universe itself is a conscious mind. Goff scrutinizes these options with analytical rigor, laying the foundations for a new paradigm of philosophical inquiry into the middle ground between God and atheism. Ultimately, Goff outlines a way of living in hope that cosmic purpose is still unfolding, involving political engagement and a non-literalist interpretation of traditional religion.

  Primary Keys traces the hidden history of how humanity taught machines to remember - from filing cabinets, punched cards, and the first databases to SQL, data lakes, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on more than two decades of experience with data systems, Kobus Veldsman explores how the technologies built to organise information also shape what institutions can know, what they choose to trust, and which questions they are able to ask.

  Let Earth Heal

  Planet Earth is beautiful and resilient. For several billion years, a combination of planetary forces and natural processes on Earth and in its atmosphere determined the makeup and interactions of the physical and biological components of our planet. There were major disruptions, but Earth always rebounded. In the relatively short time humans have been on the scene, Earth has provided us with an abundance of resources while keeping things in balance by patiently adjusting to an increasing array of abuses. Earth is also vulnerable. About two centuries ago, the burning of fossil fuels began increasing the amount of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere at a rate that nature could no longer control. Those excess gases are warming the air, land, and oceans. Our failure to reduce the amount of these fossil fuel emissions has brought about major disruptions to Earth's ecosystems that are putting all forms of life at risk. In these pages the reader will learn about some of global warming's most profound effects on the natural world and the consequences for people. Some promising initiatives are described that can give Earth a chance to heal.

  The Only Kayak - A Journey Into...

  Winner of the 2020 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Classic! 
   
   
   
  In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, Kim Heacox, writing in the tradition of Abbey, McPhee, and Thoreau, discovers an Alaska reborn from beneath a massive glacier, where flowers emerge from boulders, moose swim fjords, and bears cross crevasses with Homeric resolve. In such a place Heacox finds that people are reborn too, and their lives begin anew with incredible journeys, epiphanies, and successes. All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment. 
   
   
   
  Braided through the larger story are tales of gold prospectors and the cabin they built sixty years ago; John Muir and his intrepid terrier, Stickeen; and a dynamic geology professor who teaches earth science "as if every day were a geological epoch." 
   
   
   
  Nearly two million people come to Alaska every summer, some on large cruise ships, some in single kayaks—all in search of the last great wilderness, the Africa of America. It is exactly the America Heacox finds in this story of paradox, love, and loss.
