  Astronomer and science writer David Whitehouse takes us on a journey through the evolving cosmos as he considers humankind's place in the universe - and how our survival depends on otherworldly perspectives.
  
  From the Earth to the depths of outer space, this inspiring book shows how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves.
  
  Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051.
  
  Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.

  In February 1999, Pakistani Army personnel, disguised as jihadi militants, infiltrated into mountainous Kargil and occupied key vantage points. Their intrusion triggered a limited war between the world's newest nuclear states. It was a bitter battle, and one that threw up important lessons for India's defence preparedness, as also its responses to conflicts such as this. This incisive book by General V.P. Malik, former Chief of the Army Staff, analyses the reasoning behind the Pakistani Army's moves and tactics and reviews crucial issues such as the extent of intelligence and surveillance failure on the Indian side and the measures necessary to redress these failings. Away from questions of strategy and tactics, however, Kargil is also a reminder of the unalloyed heroism that was on display during those grim weeks, heroism that become a benchmark for valour.

  The Origin and Development of...

  The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory is a concise and illuminating journey through one of the most important ideas in human thought: the nature of matter itself. 
  Written in the early twentieth century, Maynard Shipley traces the evolution of atomic theory from its philosophical beginnings in the ancient world to its emergence as a cornerstone of modern science. Beginning with the Pythagoreans and early Greek and Indian thinkers, Shipley explores how number, geometry, and speculation first shaped humanity’s attempts to understand the structure of reality. 
  The narrative follows the development of atomism through Leucippus and Democritus, examining atoms and the void, causal necessity, sensory perception, and the physical properties of shape, size, and arrangement. Shipley contrasts these ideas with competing schools of thought, including the Eleatics’ denial of motion and Anaxagoras’ theory of “seeds,” before turning to Epicurus and Lucretius, whose writings defended atomism against superstition and divine design. 
  In its final chapters, the book connects ancient philosophy to modern science, charting the revival of atomism through thinkers such as Descartes and Gassendi and culminating in John Dalton’s quantitative laws of chemistry. Shipley concludes by linking these early models to modern discoveries—electrons, nuclei, isotopes, and atomic number—showing how a speculative idea became a measurable scientific reality. 
  Clear, thoughtful, and accessible, The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory offers a timeless overview of how human reason slowly uncovered the hidden structure of matter—and laid the foundations of chemistry and physics as we know them.

  Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
   
   
   
  In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
   
   
   
  Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.
