  Fundamental Uncertainty

  How do you know what's true? And what happens when you can't be sure? 
  We use truth every day-to make decisions, settle arguments, and understand the world. But most of us have never looked closely at how we know what we know. When we do, we find something unsettling: the foundations of our knowledge rest on assumptions we can't justify. 
  In Fundamental Uncertainty, Gordon Seidoh Worley traces this problem from its roots in ancient philosophy to its consequences for the modern world. Drawing on epistemology, cognitive science, cybernetics, and evolutionary psychology, he builds a careful argument that all knowledge is fundamentally uncertain-not because we're bad at reasoning, but because the very structure of knowledge demands unjustified starting points. 
  But we need not despair, for Worley goes on to show that truth is grounded in what we care about, and that understanding this changes how we see some of the world's hardest problems, from the culture war to the meaning crisis to the existential risks posed by artificial intelligence. 
  Written for readers with a technical background and a taste for big questions, Fundamental Uncertainty is an approachable, carefully argued book that asks you to rethink what you thought you knew about knowing. If you've ever stayed up too late arguing with a stranger on the internet about what's really true, this book is for you.

  Mother Creature Kin - What We...

  What does it mean to be a mother in an era of climate catastrophe? And what can we learn from the plants and creatures who mother at the edges of their world's unraveling? Becoming a mother in this time means bringing life into a world that appears to be coming undone. Drawing upon ecology, mythology, and her own experiences as a mother, Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder confronts what it means to "mother": to do the good work of being in service to the living world. What if we could all mother the places we live and the beings with whom we share those places? And what if they also mother us? 
   
   
   
  Steinauer-Scudder writes of the flight and aural maps of barn owls, of nursing whales, of forests, of tidal marshes, of ancient single-celled organisms, and of newly planted gardens. The creatures inhabiting these stories teach us about centering, belonging, entanglement, edgework, homemaking, and how to imagine the future. Rooted in wonder while never shying away from loss, Mother, Creature, Kin reaches toward a language of inclusive care learned from creatures living at the brink. Despair and fear will not save the world any more than they will raise our children, and while we don't know what the future holds, we know it will need mothers. As the ground shifts beneath our feet, what if we apprenticed ourselves to the creaturely mothers with whom we share this beloved home?

  J.E. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose. 
   
  For anyone who has ever wondered why suspension bridges don't collapse under eight lanes of traffic, how dams hold back--or give way under--thousands of gallons of water, or what principles guide the design of a skyscraper, a bias-cut dress, or a kangaroo, this book will ease your anxiety and answer your questions. 
   
  Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down is an informal explanation of the basic forces that hold together the ordinary and essential things of this world--from buildings and bodies to flying aircraft and eggshells. In a style that combines wit, a masterful command of his subject, and an encyclopedic range of reference, Gordon includes such chapters as "How to Design a Worm" and "The Advantage of Being a Beam," offering humorous insights in human and natural creation. 
   
  Architects and engineers will appreciate the clear and cogent explanations of the concepts of stress, shear, torsion, fracture, and compression. If you're building a house, a sailboat, or a catapult, here is a handy tool for understanding the mechanics of joinery, floors, ceilings, hulls, masts--or flying buttresses. 
   
  Without jargon or oversimplification, Structures opens up the marvels of technology to anyone interested in the foundations of our everyday lives. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Bethan Dixon Bate and produced for Raconteurs Audio by Nigel Patterson. It was published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
