Sinossi

In "One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe," William Carpenter presents a compelling yet controversial argument against the widely accepted heliocentric model of the Earth. Utilizing a blend of scientific reasoning and rhetorical persuasion, Carpenter meticulously outlines a series of proofs intended to validate his flat Earth theory. Written in a polemical style, the book draws upon a range of observations and experiments that Carpenter interprets through a critical lens of skepticism towards mainstream science, thereby situating itself within the 19th-century debates on geology, astronomy, and scientific authority. William Carpenter, an English writer and anti-establishment thinker, was inspired to challenge prevailing scientific paradigms based on his own observations and frustrations with established cosmology. His background in literature and a burgeoning interest in controversial theories of his time inform the depth of his arguments. Carpenter's work reflects an era marked by rapid scientific advancement, and his rejection of scientific consensus illustrates his commitment to a contrarian viewpoint, one that resonated with certain segments of society seeking alternatives to orthodoxy. This book is recommended for readers interested in the history of scientific debate and the cultural implications of disproven theories. Carpenter's bold assertions invite critical engagement and encourage readers to examine the validity of scientific claims. Whether approached as a historical artifact or a philosophical challenge, "One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe" offers a fascinating glimpse into a world where the boundaries of scientific inquiry were tested.

    ‘Full of wonder and forensic intelligence’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding 
    A moving account of Madagascar told by a researcher who has spent over fifty years investigating the mysteries of this remarkable island. 
    Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground, to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on; many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates, and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last thousand years or so. Today, Madagascar is a microcosm of global trends. What happens there in the decades ahead can, perhaps, suggest ways to help turn the tide on the environmental crisis now sweeping the world. 
    The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a far-reaching account of Madagascar’s past and present, led by an expert guide who has immersed herself in research and conservation activities with village communities on the island for nearly fifty years. Alison Richard accompanies the reader on a journey through space and time—from Madagascar’s ancient origins as a landlocked region of Gondwana and its emergence as an island to the modern-day developments that make the survival of its array of plants and animals increasingly uncertain. Weaving together scientific evidence with Richard’s own experiences and exploring the power of stories to shape our understanding of events, this book captures the magic as well as the tensions that swirl around this island nation. 
    Alison Richard's The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a captivating exploration of Madagascar's history and ecology. It delves into the effects of warming on the island's wildlife, making it a compelling read for those interested in nature and the sciences. 
    For fans of Andy Field (An Adventure in Statistics), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Chris Packham (Earth), Orlando Figes (The Story of Russia), and George Monbiot (Regenesis).

    This isn’t a book about rockets. 
    It’s about humanity. 
    In Mars, We Coming, the journey to another planet becomes something more than just science fiction or tech speculation — it becomes a mirror. A deeply personal, thought-provoking, first-person exploration of what it really means to leave Earth… and still be us. 
    From the silence of that first step on Martian soil to the invisible battles of the human mind in isolation, this book explores the dreams, fears, and fragile truths behind humanity’s greatest leap. It doesn’t just ask if we can go to Mars — it asks who we become if we do. 
    Thoughtful. Emotional. Raw. 
    Perfect for dreamers, futurists, and anyone wondering what’s next for our species.

    OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these are not just diagnoses from the DSM; they are part of our everyday vocabulary and understanding of people. As Christians, how should we think about psychiatric diagnoses and their associated treatments?We can't afford to isolate ourselves and simply dismiss these categories as unbiblical. Nor can we afford to accept the entire secular psychiatric diagnostic and treatment enterprise at face value as though Christian Scripture is irrelevant for these complex mental struggles. Instead, we need a balanced, biblically (and scientifically!) informed approach that is neither too warmly embracing nor too coldly dismissive of psychiatric labels and the psychiatric medications that are often prescribed.Biblical counselor and retired physician, Michael R. Emlet, gives readers a helpful way forward on these important issues as he guides lay and professional helpers in the Christian church through the thicket of mental health diagnoses and treatments in a clear, thoughtful primer in which the Bible informs our understanding of psychiatric diagnoses and the medications that are often recommended based on those labels.This first book in the Helping the Helper series will give readers biblical, gospel-formed categories that will help them understand and minister to those who are struggling with mental health issues.

    The World Wars of the 20th century caused massive upheavals all over the world. Often overlooked by history are the extraordinary true-life stories of the brave women from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who enlisted in the Allied forces in their thousands to serve as nurses behind the front lines, at great danger to themselves. And while men shot to kill in the North African, European, and the Pacific theaters of war, nurses served right behind them, armed with tools of healing rather than warfare. 
    These untold true stories of women heroes of WWII paint a vivid picture of life as a military nurse—from makeshift field hospitals in France to bombed-out station hospitals in Belgium to journeys fraught with danger on ambulance trains, air ambulances, and hospital ships. 
    Inside Nightingales, Bluebirds & Angels of Mercy: True Stories of the Courage and Heroism of Nurses on the Front Line in WWII, you’ll learn the true stories of nurses in the Second World War, including 
    ●      what it was like for a woman to join the armed services as a nurse and travel across the world to do her duty, 
    ●      the challenges and dangers the Allied nurses faced on the front lines, as well as the camaraderie and wartime romances they experienced, 
    ●      how these women confronted changing social norms around gender and race, 
    ●      true stories of survival at the hands of enemy forces in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, and more. 
    The stories of these brave women are an inspiring record of duty and selflessness. If you haven’t yet met heroes such as Vivian Bullwinkel and Margot Turner, you’ll definitely want to listen to this book.
