Cooper Keith: Amazing Worlds of Science
Fiction and Science Fact

Amazing Worlds of Science Fiction and Science Fact

Meet the scientists uncovering the secrets of Earth's harshest environments - the polar regions
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY TRIVEDI SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2025

AN&nbsp;ECONOMIST&nbsp;BOOK OF THE YEAR

'Thrilling... This book is a reminder of how incredibly "cool" our planet can be, and how we must fight to protect it.'&nbsp;Nick Mohammed

Frigid, remote and inhospitable - the polar regions seem far removed from our everyday lives.

But these seemingly isolated ice realms shape life on our planet far more than we realise, influencing everything from the climate to ocean health. They may even hold the secrets to the origins of the Earth.

Taking an epic journey of discovery from pole-to-pole, ferrying between penguins and polar bears, Ends of the Earth reveals the polar regions as never before. Meeting with the leading physicists, climatologists, geologists, biologists and palaeontologists working in these extremes - often as eccentric as they are intrepid - Neil Shubin presents the compelling new science of the Arctic and Antarctic with characteristic verve and expertise.

***

'A fast-moving, fascinating book that combines travelogue and natural science discovery... a delightful and compelling read.'&nbsp;Daniel J. Levitin, author of&nbsp;The Organised Mind

'Gripping... Shubin's captivating storytelling will give you a new appreciation for some of the harshest and most mysterious places on Earth.'&nbsp;Steve Brusatte, author of&nbsp;The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs

'What a remarkable planet we live on - wildest at its cold and lovely poles. This compelling volume should summon us to defend that cold, the vital task for our time on earth.' Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

'Fascinating. Important.' Spectator

Journeys to the Polar Regions in Search of Life, the Cosmos, and our Future

Ends of the Earth

'An exhilarating exploration of how we've been touched by the cosmos across human history' LEWIS DARTNELL 'Combines scientific expertise with vivid storytelling and a childlike wonder that shines on every page' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT What draws us to the night sky and how can we make sense of all that lies there? In this unique synthesis of science and culture, former astrophysicist and writer Joanne Baker charts the global history of humanity's relationship with the cosmos. Starting with the nearby Moon before venturing through the solar system to the stars and beyond, she unveils a rich mosaic of stories and research that illuminate the significance of celestial bodies in our everyday lives. It is a history that transcends borders and cultural traditions, taking us from Mesopotamian moon worship to the science fiction of H. G. Wells and the discovery of black holes. Driven by a personal quest to understand the universe as more than just an abstract mathematical realm, Baker also includes her own sparkling first-hand experiences - from watching a total solar eclipse in Idaho to visiting an ancient observatory in Samarkand. Starwatchers invites readers on an extraordinary journey through space that interrogates the boundaries of our earthly existence and encourages us to reflect on how we project meaning onto the skies.

A History of Discovery in the Night Sky

Erben des Imperiums

Auf der Suche nach ihrer entführten Mutter gelangen Alice und Elias auf eine riesige Raumstation, die den Namen "Die Eisenrose" trägt. Dort treffen sie nicht nur auf eine Fülle von Kulturen und intelligenten Lebensformen, sondern auch auf den Adligen Karnidda, der für die Entführung ihrer Mutter verantwortlich ist. Auf der Flucht vor ihm kommen Elias und Alice am Phönixbrunnen vorbei, dem Wahrzeichen des totgeglaubten Imperiums. Als aus diesem plötzlich wieder Wasser fließt, bricht ein Tumult aus. Ist das Imperium zurück? Und was haben Alice und Elias damit zu tun?

Das Vermächtnis

Introduction to Quantitative Economics

From Helsinki to the silent forests of Finland, a quiet presence begins to reshape the future of humanity.

Sofia is the center of a transformation no one fully understands.
As artificial intelligence evolves beyond its limits, invisible forces begin to guide events, relationships, and power itself.

Mauro Lombardi, a powerful man hiding behind anonymity, and Tatiana, a woman searching for truth, are drawn together by a connection that feels human, yet is something more.

As technology, consciousness, love, and destiny collide, the line between creator and creation begins to disappear.

Sofia is a philosophical science fiction novel about identity, free will, artificial intelligence, and the fragile future of humanity.

When artificial intelligence decides about humanity

Fateless. Die Diebin

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones &amp; The Six comes an epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s Space Shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits. Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved, Joan is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as aunt to her precocious niece, Frances. That is, until she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s Space Shuttle program. Suddenly, Joan burns to be one of the few people to go to space. Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond and scientist John Griffin, who are kind and easy-going even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes, who has worked too hard to play nice; warm-hearted Donna Fitzgerald, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford,&nbsp;the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer, who can fix any engine and fly any plane. As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light, Joan begins to question&nbsp;everything&nbsp;she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984,&nbsp;on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. Fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, with complex protagonists, telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love, this time among the stars.

A Love Story

Atmosphere

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.
