  Then I Am Myself the World -...

  The world's leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future 
   
   
   
  In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems. 
   
   
   
  Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality? 
   
   
   
  This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.

  Celestial Ghosts - Dark Matter's...

  Dark matter is one of the most elusive and mysterious components of the universe. It is invisible, yet its existence is inferred from the gravitational effects it has on visible matter, such as stars and galaxies. Despite being a significant part of the cosmos, dark matter has yet to be directly detected, which makes it an intriguing subject for astrophysicists. It is believed to make up about 27% of the universe's total mass and energy, far outpacing the visible matter that forms stars, planets, and galaxies. 
  The name “dark matter” was coined to reflect the fact that it does not emit, absorb, or reflect any form of electromagnetic radiation, making it invisible to current instruments. This absence of interaction with light or other electromagnetic forces is why it cannot be seen directly. However, dark matter’s presence is undeniable when looking at the way galaxies move. Without dark matter, galaxies would not have the gravitational pull necessary to prevent their stars from flying apart as they spin. This leads scientists to believe that dark matter provides the gravitational glue that holds galaxies, and indeed the entire universe, together. 
  One of the key pieces of evidence for dark matter comes from the study of galaxy clusters. When observing these massive cosmic structures, scientists noticed that the visible matter within them didn’t account for the full gravitational force required to keep the clusters intact. This discrepancy suggested the presence of an unseen substance, later named dark matter, that was exerting additional gravitational pull. Another significant clue comes from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, where light from distant objects bends around large masses. Dark matter’s influence on this bending further supports the idea that it is present in quantities far larger than what we can observe.

  Man Cattle and Veld

  THE book for Profitable Ranching. A Real Ranching Revolution. Cattle Breeding. Grazing Management. 
  Much like nature, this book is both simple and complex. The author has taken great care to create both a simple technical guide as well as a philosophic declaration about complex human and environmental nuances, all in one volume. 
  Those persons who see and shape the future often say that the future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed. I am confident that, several years from now many will look back upon this book, as well as the rest of Johann Zietsman's works, as foundational to the restoration of—and relationships between—man, cattle, and veld. 
  Zietsman puts forth a much-needed critique of man and his actions over the past century as well as personal stories as contra-example to the narratives we that have dominated the ranching world. 
  Achieving the ranch goal of maximum sustainable profit per hectare depends on breeding and feeding cattle (and all grazing species) as the grazers that they are. Efforts should be directed at raising cattle that are more efficient converters of forage, not on trying to make forage-reliant species into grain-efficient machines. Forces of nature created the animals we have, and their genetic potential will be brought out through non-selective grazing and proper supplementation. 
  Non-selective, time-controlled grazing, in which 80 to 95 percent of the mass of all grasses and forbs are utilized, thus pruning plants back to their crowns, is the process by which grasslands are improved in both plant vigor and species composition. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this last point—plant species diversity is promoted by time-controlled severe grazing events, whereas selective, take half leave half grazing is much more limited in improving species diversity, even leading to species narrowing in some circumstances.
