  Renowned herbalist Amy Blackthorn shows readers how to bring plant spirits into their daily spiritual practice with therapeutic access, subconscious learning, and divining skills that help them understand plant spirits on a deeper level.  Blackthorn’s Botanical Magic showed a new generation of witches how scent affects people, whether they understand it or not. In Blackthorn’s Book of Sacred Plant Magic, we travel even deeper into the magical garden of scent. We know that a walk down a summer street can bring back the smell of childhood summers with friends, riding bikes and swimming. Spring breezes carry with them the clean soapy smell of your second-grade teacher. We experience scents not only in the here and now but also filtered through the lens of our past. Using the power of scent, we can create a sense of the sacred in our daily lives. Part reference guide, part recipe book, and part ritual journey, Blackthorn’s Book of Sacred Plant Magic offers readers an in-depth exploration of the vital connection between scents and magical practice.   Topics covered include:  Connecting with Spirits of Plants, Place, and People  Expanding your Scent Vocabulary: Beyond “Floral”  Scent, Memory, and Personal History: How History Effects Scent  Creating Scent Activations

  Free Speech and Turbulent...

  A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
   
   
   
  In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
   
   
   
  To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.

  Quantum Optics - The...

  Quantum optics is the study of the interaction between light and matter at the quantum level. It combines the principles of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory to explain the behavior of photons and their interactions with atoms, molecules, and other quantum systems. Unlike classical optics, which treats light as a continuous electromagnetic wave, quantum optics describes light as being composed of discrete particles called photons, each carrying a quantized amount of energy proportional to its frequency. The development of quantum optics has led to a deeper understanding of fundamental quantum phenomena, including entanglement, superposition, and quantum coherence. 
  The foundations of quantum optics were laid in the early 20th century with the development of quantum theory. In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed the photon theory of light to explain the photoelectric effect — the emission of electrons from a metal surface when exposed to light. Einstein suggested that light consists of discrete energy packets (photons) with energy E=hνE = h\nu, where hh is Planck's constant and ν\nu is the frequency of light. This idea introduced the concept of wave-particle duality, which was later incorporated into the broader framework of quantum mechanics.

  The Wonders of Radium by Maynard Shipley is a captivating scientific exploration of one of the most fascinating discoveries of the early 20th century. Written in a time of scientific revolution, this work explains the origin, nature, and wide-ranging applications of radium, a radioactive element famously discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. Shipley skillfully translates complex scientific principles into accessible language, detailing radium's powerful effects—from revolutionizing medical treatments, such as early cancer therapies, to its curious industrial and agricultural uses. 
  With a mix of scientific rigor and wonder, Shipley delves into the processes of radioactive decay, the extraction of radium from ores, and the element’s role in estimating the age of the Earth. Readers will find insights into the cultural and scientific impact of radium, a substance once seen as miraculous and later viewed with more caution. This is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in scientific history, capturing humanity’s fascination with atomic energy before its darker implications were fully realized.
