How do we know what's true? The bestselling author of The Rules of Contagion mines two millennia of knowledge to find out

The Uncertain Science of Certainty

In his prize-winning Sunday Times bestseller, An Immense World, Ed Yong invited us to perceive the world through other animals' senses. Now he transforms our view of the world once again by revealing the hidden wonders of life at different scales.'Utterly extraordinary. Yong's spectacular new book is not just a mesmerizing examination of the wonders of life on Earth; it's no less than a biography of life itself' EMILY ST JOHN MANDEL'A thrilling journey of discovery ... Dazzling, refreshing, brilliant' ROBIN WALL KIMMERERAll around us, just beyond our awareness, life proceeds in astonishing ways. The 100-ton blue whale easily crosses oceans, singing to fellow whales thousands of miles away. Alongside it a bacterium swims in a drop of seawater that is as vast for it as an ocean is to the whale. Hummingbirds move too quickly for us to follow, while plants move too languorously for us to perceive.Every living thing operates at its own scale - the blend of size, range, pace, longevity, and influence that define the contours and rhythms of a life. We tend to think of the human scale as life's default. But in Life Beyond Measure, Ed Yong coaxes us outside of our medium-sized, medium-lived, medium-paced, moderately mobile range and introduces us to entirely new worlds, some that could fit between two grains of sand. Fireflies assembling their luminous chorus; a bristlecone pine that's older than paper rounds the corner of its fifth millennium; shorebirds that fly across the world's biggest ocean without stopping; Pando, a forest that may be a single tree; and a host of other dazzling, disorienting entities expand our understanding of what life can be.Mind-bending, exhilarating, and profound, Life Beyond Measure is a call to cast off our human perspective, to lose ourselves in the vastness and strangeness of nature, and by doing so, to discover how intimately connected to the rest of life we are.

With one famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein proved all matter can be described as energy. It is everywhere and everything. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.’ Bill Gates Turn on a light. Start the car. Boil water. Eat. Move. Breathe. Everything is energy. But what exactly is it? And how can we best harness it without destroying the planet in the process? Renowned scientist Vaclav Smil explores energy in all its facets – from the inner workings of the human body to the rise of modern industry and the race for more efficient and eco-friendly fuels. From the laws of thermodynamics to the latest developments in wind, solar and geothermal power, Energy: A Short History sheds light on the invisible network of energy that shapes all our lives, and how our daily decisions affect energy consumption.

Natural food colors are increasingly valued for their role in supporting consumer health and trust, offering an alternative to widely used synthetic colourants. Spray Drying of Natural Food Colorants and Its Applications presents a rigorous, practice¿oriented guide to producing functional natural food colorants via spray drying, bridging fundamental science with industrial application. Drawing on a wide range of fruit and vegetable sources, it explains how naturally occurring pigments can be transformed into stable, high¿quality colorants and provides evidence¿based insight into safety considerations for everyday use.The book examines commercial feasibility and viability, from laboratory¿scale development through to manufacturing. It offers detailed coverage of process design and optimisation, showing how spray drying parameters shape the physicochemical properties, stability, and performance of the final product. A dedicated section addresses packaging selection and shelf¿life retention, guiding readers on material choices, barrier properties, and storage strategies that preserve quality and functionality.In depth chapters assess bioactive attributes-such as antioxidant, anticancer, and antidiabetic activities-and present advanced spray drying techniques engineered to conserve these components and maintain therapeutic potential in finished powders. Written for researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals in food science, food engineering, and product development, this book provides both conceptual clarity and practical tools, equipping the food sector with a comprehensive framework for designing, evaluating, and commercialising spray¿dried natural colorants that meet safety, efficacy, and market demands.

Spray Drying of Natural Food Colorants and Its Applications

Hart Studies in European Criminal Law

This book offers a comprehensive legal analysis of the urgent challenges posed by deepfakes, focusing on the restrictive measures proposed or introduced to address their related harms. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the harms associated with deepfakes - especially in areas like non-consensual sexualised content and political disinformation - and how criminal and digital regulatory systems are attempting to respond. From a criminal law perspective, the book offers a dual-level critique. On the one hand, criminal law is invoked for its expressive and symbolic function, particularly in response to the discriminatory and gender-based harms often associated with deepfakes, as well as the broader need to prevent systemic risks to democratic society when it comes to electoral manipulation and freedom of thought. Here, criminal law would play a vital role in affirming societal condemnation of such conduct and in acknowledging the serious impact on victims. On the other hand, its use is increasingly entangled with emerging frameworks of digital regulation, taking on a more instrumental role in defining illegal content and reinforcing standards shaped primarily by private platforms and regulatory bodies. This dual function raises fundamental questions about the legitimacy and efficacy of using criminal law-the most coercive form of state power-for purposes that extend beyond its traditional scope. Additionally, the book explores regulatory measures aimed at controlling deepfakes, considered both as AI-generated content and as harmful online material. Discussions around content moderation, transparency duties-such as labelling and watermarking-and safety by design measures are gaining attention globally, with the European Union's Digital Services Act and AI Act leading the way. The book's primary goal is to bridge the two worlds of criminal law and digital regulation through a careful and critical analysis, making it a valuable resource for a broad audience.

Was ich in 40 Jahren Nachrichten über Wahrheit und Inszenierung gelernt habe

Die Welt vor acht

Gibt es immer mehr Armut auf der Welt? Geht es mit unserer Lebensqualität bergab? Ist die Demokratie auf dem Rückzug? Herrscht heute gar mehr Gewalt als früher? 
Mitnichten!, sagt Martin Schröder, Professor für Soziologie und viel befragter Experte zu Themen wie Lebensqualität und Zufriedenheit. Anhand von zahlreichen Studien, Grafiken und Beispielen führt er vor, dass es uns noch nie so gut ging wie heute - auch wenn Meinungsmacher uns immer wieder das Gegenteil einreden wollen. Ein ebenso lehrreicher wie unterhaltsamer Aufruf, optimistisch in die Zukunft zu blicken.

Mit Fakten gegen Fake-News und Untergangsszenarien 
 Oft kommt beim Blick in die Nachrichten das Gefühl auf, dass alles schlimmer wird. Gibt es immer mehr Armut auf der Welt? Geht es mit unserer Lebensqualität bergab? Ist die Demokratie auf dem Rückzug? Herrscht heute gar bei uns mehr Gewalt als früher? Mitnichten!, sagt Martin Schröder, Professor für Soziologie und viel befragter Experte zu Themen wie Lebensqualität, Glück und Zufriedenheit. Wussten Sie, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit, in der Badewanne zu ertrinken, doppelt so hoch ist wie die Gefahr, Opfer eines Terroranschlags zu werden? Das ist nur eines von vielen Beispielen, das zeigt, dass es der Welt besser geht, als viele glauben. In seinem Buch Warum es uns noch nie so gut ging und wir trotzdem ständig von Krisen reden unterzieht Martin Schröder gefühlte Wahrheiten dem Faktencheck: 
 
 - Wie haben sich Kaufkraft, Kriminalität und Umweltverschmutzung bei uns wirklich entwickelt? 
 
 - Gibt es weltweit mehr Kriege? 
 
 - Was steckt hinter Untergangsszenarien und Panikmache? 
 
 - Warum sehen wir Entwicklungen negativer als sie wirklich sind? 
 
 - Welche Auswirkungen hat das auf unsere Gesellschaft und unser Wohlbefinden? 
 War früher wirklich alles besser? 
 Tatsächlich ging es uns noch nie so gut wie heute. Martin Schröder kann das beweisen: Mit zahlreichen Statistiken, Grafiken und Beispielen belegt er, dass es keine Gründe für Panikmache und Hysterie gibt. Flüchtlingskrise, Globalisierung, Zinsentwicklung – Martin Schröder gibt uns Fakten an die Hand, die uns helfen, populistische Scheinargumente und Fake-News zu erkennen und uns selbst sicherer zu fühlen. Denn er ist überzeugt: »Pessimisten beherrschen die Schlagzeilen. Optimisten behalten Recht.« 
 
 Ein ebenso lehrreicher wie unterhaltsamer Aufruf, wieder optimistisch in die Zukunft zu blicken!

A Visual History - From Stone Tools to Space Travel

Science Year by Year

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

We are becoming more and more divided in how we see the world. Why is it some people think so differently to the way others do?Bringing together for the first time startling new evidence from neurobiology, psychology, philosophy, behavioural economics and more, Marius Ostrowski takes us on an eye-opening tour of the mind and the surprising factors that shape not just what we think but how we think. Ostrowski breaks down the different elements of our thinking into ten 'thinker-types' that help us understand ourselves and everyone around us. These ten distinct mindsets, from the 'hot-head' to the 'improviser', coined by Ostrowski, are profiles we all fall within. Some overlap, others clash. They are neither 'good' nor 'bad', but understanding where we and others fit can be transformative.Through these ten ways of thinking, Ostrowski gives us remarkable insight into our own minds as well as those who think differently to us, and reveals how we might even change our minds for the better. How We Think is the essential thinking about thinking.
