Synopsis

Sloth Facts explores the unique biology and ecological adaptations of sloths, those famously slow-moving arboreal mammals. Delving into their evolutionary journey from larger, ground-dwelling ancestors, the book highlights how their slow metabolism isn't a disadvantage, but a successful strategy for survival. One intriguing insight is their symbiotic relationships with algae and moths, which provide camouflage and nutrients. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding sloths as indicators of environmental health and the need for their conservation.

 
The book's approach is to present complex scientific concepts, like metabolism and symbiosis, in an accessible manner. It investigates the physiological adaptations that drive their slow movement, such as their specialized digestive systems and low body temperatures. By drawing from diverse scientific research in physiology, ecology, and zoology, Sloth Facts paints a comprehensive picture of sloth life.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the two extant sloth genera, then exploring their unique physiological adaptations, vital symbiotic relationships, and finally, the conservation challenges they face due to habitat loss and climate change.

    Why are humans neither 'good' nor 'bad'? How can so much chaos and confusion in the world actually lead to order? Why are we so often wrong when we're asked if the world's getting better? In this, the last book in The Secrets of Life quartet, SS O'Connor pulls together the threads of genetic and cultural evolution, and then adds to these the conclusions of evolutionary game theory. As he does this, he ends with an intertwined narrative that explains why so many of the phenomena of our existence may not be the mysteries we think they are, but could in fact have the same underlying logic to them. By examining the great currents at work in our collective story, the role that competition and cooperation have always played in the development of the world, and why each behavioural strategy is rational in what it's attempting to achieve, the book shows that the same cycles of collaboration and destruction have been present since time began. But while the success of these strategies may ebb and flow, it is their interaction that results in the balance and order we see around us. This current is also the consistent vector of our human history. Although we may have animal origins, and are also driven by the same need to respond to the profound Laws of Thermodynamics, we have developed our culture to the point where we can now choose to overrule so many of the instructions of our genes. Why do we do this? What are the problems that arise from our free will? How have we come to realise that self-interest is quite different from selfishness? Why have we become obsessed with the need for fairness and trust in our societies? And how have these forces resulted in us making the world a better place? Few of us believe this can be the case. But as the evidence of our progress becomes ever clearer, the series concludes by showing us why we are often wrong in our view of each other, and why we're so frequently mistaken in our pessimism about the future.

    The Monad Manifesto

    As scientists probe deeper into the nature of reality, they are discovering that consciousness is at the root of everything. What we believed were the laws of physics and matter are really the archetypal laws of mind, and the condensation of consciousness that created our universe originated from a dimensionless point in the void known as the “Singularity” in physics and the “Monad” in math and philosophy. 
    In philosophy, the Monad is the single source of all things—the embedded matrix of both our present existence and all possible future incarnations. For theologians, it is the logos –the Word of God that created the world. In mathematics, the Monad is the root of all the numbers that describe Nature. In science, it is the Big Bang explosion of light and information from which our universe sprung forth. 
    By the late 20th century, an interdisciplinary science of Consciousness Studies emerged dedicated to solving the puzzle of consciousness and understanding the mysterious monadic origin of the universe. Most of the pieces to that puzzle are already in place, and we are just beginning to glimpse the overall picture. It’s not like anything we ever expected . . .
