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

Kucharski Adam: Proof / B

Proof

The Uncertain Science of Certainty

Planet Earth has been a familiar concept for a mere fraction of recorded history. Until about the mid-1600s, most humans thought of Earth as immobile, likely either dim or simply invisible from the Moon or anywhere else in the heavens, and not (like the planets) participating in what Galileo called "the dance of the stars." A Universe of Earths: Our Planet and Other Worlds, from Copernicus to NASA retraces the exhilarating story of how all that changed, and how we came to perceive the Earth as a "wandering star." It's a story that has vastly augmented and enriched our understanding of how Earth and its inhabitants fit into the big picture of the Cosmos. But almost as soon as humans started to grasp that Earth is a planet, many also began wondering if perhaps the other planets might be earths. This bold conjecture ignited the whole gripping history and literature of space travel, of extraterrestrials, of other worlds. And yet the thesis that the Universe is full of other worlds like Earth has from the start been fuelled more by imagination than by scientific evidence. For all its appeal, it has consistently been undermined by observations of the actual Universe. A Universe of Earths offers a surprising alternative to that "other worlds" account, one that releases humans not only from the pre-Copernican view of Earth as low, lowly, dark, a cosmic sump, but also from the persistent modern aspersion of Earth as cosmically ordinary, "mediocre," "dethroned." Instead, from Copernicus to the present, we are confronted with the bracing realization that Earth is in the classical sense a star, a dynamically wandering one, and a bright, maybe even peerless participant in the dance of the stars.

A Universe of Earths

'Everyone needs to read this book' Isabella Tree 'A clarion call' Caroline Lucas How can we eat well without harming the planet? The way we produce food today is damaging people and nature alike. Modern, intensive farming systems producing pesticide-laced, ultra-processed foods are bad for us and bad for the planet. But there is cause for hope. From supporting more sustainable farming systems and modifying what we eat to wasting less and growing more ourselves, Dave Goulson shows that change is possible and individual choices do matter - even while governments fail to act. Packed with surprising insights and practical guidance, Eat the Planet Well cuts through the information overload to help us navigate the tricky decisions we face every day, and offers an optimistic vision for a healthier future.

How to fix our toxic food system – one meal at a time

Vom Zählstein zum Computer

Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) ist nicht nur einer der größten Mathematiker, sondern gleichfalls einer der schöpferischsten Menschen überhaupt gewesen. Seine rastlose Tätigkeit; die auch durch Blindheit nicht beeinträchtigt wurde, beschränkte sich jedoch nicht nur auf die Mathematik, denn er war ebenso universaler Naturwissenschaftler wie tiefgehender Philosoph, seine Arbeiten reichen von technischen Anwendungen der Naturwissenschaften bis zur Kartographie ebenso wie von der Musik bis zur Landwirtschaft. Respektvoll sahen bereits seine Zeitgenossen in ihm die lebendige Personifizierung der Analysis, aber darüber hinaus verkörperte er das wissenschaftliche Bewusstsein seiner Zeit wie kein anderer.Seine Arbeiten reichen von technischen Anwendungen der Naturwissenschaften&nbsp;bis zur Kartographie ebenso wie von der Musik bis zur Landwirtschaft.

Jahrhunderts, in das Eulers Leben und Werk eingebettet ist und auf dem unsere moderne Welt wesentlich fußt.Der AutorPD Dr. Rüdiger Thiele studierte Mathematik und Physik an der Luther-Universität Halle Wittenberg und promovierte dort 1973 in Mathematik. Er war Mitarbeiter am Sudhoff-Institut für Geschichte der Medizin und Naturwissenschaften der Universität Leipzig, habilitierte sich am Institut für Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften der Universität Hamburg und wurde anschließend Privatdozent an der Fakultät für Mathematik der Universität Leipzig.

Leonhard Euler (1707-1783)

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PROFESSOR STEWART'S CABINET OF MATHEMATICAL CURIOSITIES 'A superlative study of superlatives' GUARDIAN 'Britain's most brilliant and prolific populariser of maths' ALEX BELLOS What is the maximum land you can enclose inside a given border? What is the minimum number of colours you can use to colour in a map so that no region shares a shade? And how do you calculate the shortest route between two cities? These questions may not sound related, but they have this in common: they all explore extremes: shortest lines, greatest areas, fewest colours. They have also given rise to some of the most important areas of mathematical study and have resulted in a myriad of applications - from the legend of Dido's founding of the city of Carthage to contemporary satellite navigation systems. From soap bubbles to the cosmos, Britain's most beloved mathematician tells the fascinating stories of the people and ideas pushing the very bounds of mathematics - and the discoveries that have changed our lives.

How the Quest for the Biggest, Fewest and Weirdest Makes Maths

Reaching for the Extreme

'Engaging, insightful, panoramic' Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI &amp; Cofounder of DeepMind 'An eye-opening exploration of a revolution unfolding before our eyes' New York Journal of Books Stunning advances in digital technology have introduced a new wave of human-like AI systems. Chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are already reshaping economies, challenge democracies, and reshaping society in unpredictable ways. And soon, these AI systems could make autonomous decisions on their users' behalf, transforming everything we do. Understanding how they work is crucial. Can AI systems think, know, and understand?Could they manipulate or deceive you, and if so, what might they make you do? Whose interests do they represent? When will they be able to move beyond words and take action in the real world? Neuroscientist and AI researcher Christopher Summerfield explores these questions, charting AI's evolution from early ideas in the seventeenth century to today's deep neural networks. His book is the most accessible, up-to-date, and authoritative exploration of this radical technology. With an understanding of AI's inner workings, we can address the existential question of our age: can we look forward to a technological utopia, or are we writing ourselves out of history? 'As a leading authority...Summerfield is perfectly situated to explore the meaning and implications of these machines that are so uncannily like - and unlike - ourselves' Brian Christian, co-author of Algorithms to Live by 'You might choose to be alarmed, excited, or indifferent to LLMs, but you should read Chris's book before you decide' Mike Woolridge, author of The Road to Conscious Machines

How AI Learned to Talk and What It Means

These Strange New Minds

Dieses Buch lädt die Leserinnen und Leser zu einem philosophischen Gedankenflug durch Zeit und Raum und durch unser Universum. Er führt durch den Mikrokosmos der Quantenphysik, durch den Makrokosmos des Universums und schließlich entlang der Evolutionsgeschichte durch die Erdzeitalter. Er begleitet die Entwicklung des Menschen bis zum Homo sapiens in der biologischen Evolution und seine Leistungen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart in der kulturellen Evolution. Und schließlich taucht der Gedankenflug tief hinein in Möglichkeitswelten und Mythen, in absurde Spekulationen und faszinierende Theorien, immer auf der Suche, wie unsere Welt wirklich ausschaut. Am Ende der Reise sollen vier Fragen beantwortet werden:
- Was ist der Mensch?
- Wohin fliegt das Universum? 
- Was ist "Leben"?
- Passt die Welt in ein Sandkorn?

Ein Gedankenflug durchs Universum

Passt die Welt in ein Sandkorn?

The Epigenetic Explanations

A ground-breaking look at the science of love and connection - and an urgent corrective to some of our most fundamental assumptions about attraction. 'In a world saturated with cynical advice about dating and gender, this book is a revelation.' DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive and The Power of Regret 'One of the most joyfully uplifting antidotes to 21st-century gloom.' THE TIMES --------------------- We're told that what men and women desire from relationship is different - he's looking for novelty, she's looking for commitment; he's concerned with looks, she's concerned with status. We're told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality - where some are 10s and others are 2s; where some people are marriage material and others are wired for promiscuity. But this narrative is unscientific. Such ideas have their roots in a branch of science called evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades its ideas have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative that inspires despair and anxiety - and, in its most extreme form, these ideas have been hijacked in the service of misogyny and violence. But the truth about human attraction - and the way evolution plays out in our romantic lives - is much more interesting and optimistic. Bonded by Evolution offers a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry. Distilling evolutionary biology, anthropology and psychology and informed by his pathbreaking research and original experiments at the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory in California, psychology professor Paul Eastwick reveals how attraction is best depicted as a process of finding - and, often, creating - a compatible relationship. Once we understand how ancestral humans sought compatible partners in small networks, we can build a clearer - and brighter - picture of how attraction, sex and relationships really work. --------------------- More praise for Bonded by Evolution: 'Profound and pragmatic, suggesting an entirely different approach to the study - and pursuit - of love.' ERIC KLINENBERG, co-author of Modern Romance 'Rarely have scientific rigor and exuberant optimism been such congenial companions . . . Bonded by Evolution presents an optimistic new paradigm, one that provides clear guidance for romantic success.' ELI FINKEL, author of The All or Nothing Marriage

What We’ve Got Wrong About Love and Connection

Bonded by Evolution

Unlock the wisdom and knowledge within the depths your mind - Nancy Kline shows you how with theories and practical sessions, as well as results from its use in business leadership, coaching, team development and personal relationships. Nancy Kline has identified 10 behaviors that form a system called a Thinking Environment™, a model of human interaction that dramatically improves the way people think, and thus the way they work and live. Listening - the quality of people's attention for each other - is the core of this method. Most people think they listen well, but they rarely do - not at this level. Listening this way is a radical act. The power of effective listening is recognized as the essential tool of good management. In this book, Nancy Kline describes how we can achieve this, and presents a step-by-step guide that can be used in any situation. Whether you want to have more productive meetings, solve business problems, create bold strategies, or build stronger relationships, this book offers you a new world of possibilities. From blue chip companies developing high-powered teams to individuals seeking personal growth, a Thinking Environment has come to mean transformation of the highest quality. Contents include: -&nbsp;Part One:&nbsp;A Thinking Environment -&nbsp;Part Two:&nbsp;Creating a Thinking Environment -&nbsp;Part Three:&nbsp;The Thinking Society -&nbsp;Part Four:&nbsp;A Thinking Future

Stories of Survival and Transformation After Trauma – 'Profoundly moving' Siri Hustvedt

Unspeakable

Western thought has been dominated by the dichotomy of traditional religion and secular atheism. But do we have to choose between these options? In this pioneering work, Philip Goff argues that it is time to move on from both God and atheism. Through an exploration of contemporary cosmology and cutting-edge philosophical research on consciousness, Goff argues for cosmic purpose: the idea that the universe is directed towards certain goals, such as the emergence of life. In contrast to religious thinkers, Goff argues that the traditional God is a bad explanation of cosmic purpose. Instead, he explores a range of alternative possibilities for accounting for cosmic purpose, from the speculation that we live in a computer simulation to the hypothesis that the universe itself is a conscious mind. Goff scrutinizes these options with analytical rigour, laying the foundations for a new paradigm of philosophical enquiry into the middle ground between God and atheism. Ultimately, Goff outlines a way of living in hope that cosmic purpose is still unfolding, involving political engagement and a non-literalist interpretation of traditional religion.
