Dark Cloud Country
A 2022 National Indie Excellence Winner in NATURE and Finalist in ENVIRONMENT."If there were a poet laureate of holistic management, his name would be Daniel Griffith." -Allan Savory, President and Co-Founder of the Savory Institute and Author of Holistic Management.From Next Generation Book awardee Daniel Firth Griffith erupts a groundbreaking collection about the WILDING of the regenerative agriculture movement.Part mystical stories and poems where trees talk and briars walk, part lyrical studies of mathematics and art, Dark Cloud Country is a pioneering portrait of the WILD in and around us.In Dark Cloud Country, Griffith debuts a new paradigm for WILDING-what he calls the Four Relationships: chaos, bounds, art, and singularity. Instead of offering us regenerative practices, Griffith's Four Relationships invites us to open our minds to transform the way we think so that our community with Mother Earth becomes elevated from dominance to reciprocity-a journey that begins by dropping your shears and opening your ears; one that begins by taking off your shoes. Here, in the sacred and reawakening heart of the wild, a love story of Creation emerges and a mythology centered around the singularity of spirit and matter, of the human heart and the heart of the world, transforms our once drought-stricken dirt into rain-stained magnificence. "Regeneration, if it is about anything at all, is about getting off your bum and dancing until the rains come," writes Griffith.- - - - - - - -"An impassioned celebration of life in all its complex wonderment." -James Canton, Author of The Oak Papers and Grounded"If you relish poetic writing, if you are in awe of existence ever in the process of creating, and if you delight in beauty, mystery, and wonder, you will dance with Daniel through the four relationships of regeneration-chaos, bounds, art, and singularity-as Dark Cloud Country delights your mind and dazzles your spirit." -Fred Provenza, Author of Nourishment"Dark Cloud Country captivates us and stirs our souls. I finished the book yearning for more but realizing that I could find more simply by embracing life!" -Gabe Brown, Author of Dirt to Soil"Dark Cloud Country is written in a language that digs through the innermost being, like a sacred encounter-the kind your keep closed somewhere special in your heart. Griffith's words are a great call, a nudge, a whisper, and a tap on the shoulder for all of us to remember the essence of regeneration: a beautiful story." -Precious Phiri, Co-Founder of Igugu Trust, African Coordinator for Regeneration International, educator and farmer in Hwange Community, Zimbabwe"An eco-poet and philosopher, Griffith's ecstatic imaginings and lyrical prose don't just live on the page, they pulse in the body. Reading Dark Cloud Country is like watching a murmuration of starlings. The mind swerves. Dives. Rises. It travels to surprising places. The heart too." -Mary Reynolds Thompson, Author of Reclaiming the Wild Soul and A Wild Soul Woman"With Dark Cloud Country, Griffith has written prose that equals the wild itself-an entangled whole that is ever growing and only yielding fruit if the reader lets go of their illusion of being able to control its aliveness." -Andreas Weber, Author of The Biology of Wonder and Matter and Desire

Militarizing Outer Space
Militarizing Outer Space explores the dystopian and destructive dimensions of the Space Age and challenges conventional narratives of a bipolar Cold War rivalry. Concentrating on weapons, warfare and vio​lence, this provocative volume examines real and imagined endeavors of arming the skies and conquering the heavens. The third and final volume in the groundbreaking ​European Astroculture trilogy, ​Militarizing Outer Space zooms in on the interplay between security, technopolitics and knowledge from the 1920s through the 1980s. Often hailed as the site of heavenly utopias and otherworldly salvation, outer space transformed from a promised sanctuary to a present threat, where the battles of the future were to be waged. Astroculture proved instrumental in fathoming forms and functions of warfare's futures past, both on earth and in space. The allure of dominating outer space, the book shows, was neither limited to the early twenty-first century nor to current American space force rhetorics.

Anaximander
The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics illuminates the nature of science through the revolutionary ideas of the Greek philosopher Anaximander Over two millennia ago, the prescient insights of Anaximander paved the way for cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. His legacy includes the revolutionary ideas that the Earth floats in a void, that animals evolved, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. He introduced a new mode of rational thinking with an openness to uncertainty and the progress of knowledge. In this elegant work, the renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked influence on modern science. He examines Anaximander not from the point of view of a historian or as an expert in Greek philosophy, but as a scientist interested in the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in the critical and rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again. Anaximander celebrates the radical lack of certainty that defines the scientific quest for knowledge.
Yard Birds
In 2009, the New Yorker declared chickens the "it bird" and heralded "the return of the backyard chicken." This honor occurred as, a host of American cities were changing their laws to allow chickens in residents' backyards. Philip Levy, a sometime chicken keeper himself, mixes cultural history with husbandry to chronicle the weird and wonderful story of Americans' urban chickens. From the streets of Brooklyn to council chambers in Albany to the beat of Key West's Chicken Nuisance Patrol, yard birds are an important and growing part of American city life.Part history, part travelogue, and part reportage, Yard Birds takes the reader on a tour-de-force journey across America, past and present, to profile its urban chickens housed in luxury coops or dying at yearly rituals. What emerges is a compelling picture of city chickens that can both serve as hipster status symbols and guarantee that the families keeping them have at least something to eat. Levy's smart and entertaining investigation of the contemporary urban chicken craze reveals that poultry flocks were historically an integral part of America's urban spaces; chickens have simply returned home now, some to very fancy roosts.

Origin
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From celebrated anthropologist Jennifer Raff comes the untold story--and fascinating mystery--of how humans migrated to the Americas. ORIGIN is the story of who the first peoples in the Americas were, how and why they made the crossing, how they dispersed south, and how they lived based on a new and powerful kind of evidence: their complete genomes. ORIGIN provides an overview of these new histories throughout North and South America, and a glimpse into how the tools of genetics reveal details about human history and evolution. 20,000 years ago, people crossed a great land bridge from Siberia into Western Alaska and then dispersed southward into what is now called the Americas. Until we venture out to other worlds, this remains the last time our species has populated an entirely new place, and this event has been a subject of deep fascination and controversy. No written records--and scant archaeological evidence--exist to tell us what happened or how it took place. Many different models have been proposed to explain how the Americas were peopled and what happened in the thousands of years that followed. A study of both past and present, ORIGIN explores how genetics is currently being used to construct narratives that profoundly impact Indigenous peoples of the Americas. It serves as a primer for anyone interested in how genetics has become entangled with identity in the way that society addresses the question "Who is indigenous?"

He tried conventional therapies but found true solace amongst nature, and now enables others to do the same.
Essential Statistics for Data Science
Essential Statistics for Data Science: A Concise Crash Course is for students entering a serious graduate program or advanced undergraduate teaching in data science without knowing enough statistics. The three-part text starts from the basics of probability and random variables and guides readers towards relatively advanced topics in both frequentist and Bayesian approaches in a matter of weeks. Part I, Talking Probability explains that the statistical approach to analysing data starts with a probability model to describe the data generating process. Part II, Doing Statistics explains that much of statistical inference is about learning unknown quantities in the model (e.g. its parameters) from the data it is presumed to have generated. Part III, Facing Uncertainty explains the importance of explicitly describing how much uncertainty we have about the model parameters, especially those with intrinsic scientific meaning, and of taking that into account when making decisions. Essential Statistics for Data Science: A Concise Crash Course provides an in-depth introduction for beginners, while being more serious than a typical undergraduate text, but still lighter and more accessible than an average graduate text.
The First Fossil Hunters
The fascinating story of how the fossils of dinosaurs, mammoths, and other extinct animals influenced some of the most spectacular creatures of classical mythology Griffins, Centaurs, Cyclopes, and Giants--these fabulous creatures of classical mythology continue to live in the modern imagination through the vivid accounts that have come down to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans. But what if these beings were more than merely fictions? What if monstrous creatures once roamed the earth in the very places where their legends first arose? This is the arresting and original thesis that Adrienne Mayor explores in The First Fossil Hunters. Through careful research and meticulous documentation, she convincingly shows that many of the giants and monsters of myth did have a basis in fact--in the enormous bones of long-extinct species that were once abundant in the lands of the Greeks and Romans. As Mayor shows, the Greeks and Romans were well aware that a different breed of creatures once inhabited their lands. They frequently encountered the fossilized bones of these primeval beings, and they developed sophisticated concepts to explain the fossil evidence, concepts that were expressed in mythological stories. The legend of the gold-guarding griffin, for example, sprang from tales first told by Scythian gold-miners, who, passing through the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Altai Mountains, encountered the skeletons of Protoceratops and other dinosaurs that littered the ground. Like their modern counterparts, the ancient fossil hunters collected and measured impressive petrified remains and displayed them in temples and museums; they attempted to reconstruct the appearance of these prehistoric creatures and to explain their extinction. Long thought to be fantasy, the remarkably detailed and perceptive Greek and Roman accounts of giant bone finds were actually based on solid paleontological facts. By reading these neglected narratives for the first time in the light of modern scientific discoveries, Adrienne Mayor illuminates a lost world of ancient paleontology.
The Biology of Politics and Golden Billion Theory
The homo sapiens basically evolved in Africa and the African continent is populated by this human species. The homo sapiens migrated to Europe and the Middle-East and intermingled as well as mated with the homo neanderthalis species producing a hybrid species. This homo neanderthalis-homo sapien hybrid populates most of Europe, Eurasia, China and Japan. The homo sapiens owing to enlarged frontal cortex were capable of creative fictional imagination. The homo sapien-homo neanderthalic hybrids civilization conquered the world and became the dominant species on the earth. The Shudras of India, the Jews of Israel, Muslims of Middle-East, the Celts of Europe, Australian Aboriginals, Maoris and the Native South American Indians. The homo sapien-homo neanderthalic hybrids of Europe and Eurasia were the Aryan population. This can be deciphered from the population behaviour. The Nazi mediated holocaust of Jews, the Islamophobia in Europe and upper caste Indians and the racial discrimination as denoted by the caste system against the Shudras in India are examples of it. All the genocides can be traced to these species difference.
Gravity
Recently, well-known physicists like Raphael Bousso and Sabine Hossenfelder have broken the taboo, and come out and said what many have thought for longer: that general relativity is a large-scale approximation. It works very well in its own domain, as Newton's theory did. But it doesn't fit with quantum theory, as small-scale physics is outside its domain.Raphael Bousso: 'But as a matter of principle, the theory is wrong. The seed is there. General relativity cannot be the final word; it can only be an approximation [...] 'Sabine Hossenfelder: 'Most physicists, myself included, think general relativity is only an approximation to a better theory'. And elsewhere: 'But we already know that it cannot ultimately be the correct theory for space and time. It is an approximation that works in many circumstances, but fails in others.'So although special relativity is above suspicion, nowadays the gravity theory isn't. And gravitational waves are predicted by a list of other theories, as well as general relativity. In this book, Jonathan Kerr looks at the real issues about gravity, the recent interest in new gravity theories, and the efforts to replace ideas that aren't working well with the rest of the landscape. Quantum theory, by contrast, has connected well with other physics in many places, and the standard model is based on it.Later in the book, the author explains his own solution, which comes out of the same background theory that two of the world's top physicists, Carlo Rovelli and Neil Turok, became interested in after documentary maker Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon sent them his paper. They discussed the quantum mechanics part of the theory with Jonathan Kerr in the online documentary The Interactions Avenue. There was a Sunday Telegraph article, Quantum mechanics' greatest puzzle 'solved' in a Surrey cottage.The theory is about the Planck scale, the smallest scale we know of, which is still uncharted: there's no consensus about what the world is like there, but it seems clear that it's vital to physics, and that much of what we find at larger scales arises from there. Because of string theory, many physicists think Planck scale geometry is highly complicated. But Kerr put in simple but lateral conceptual changes, treating matter as 'spinning light' at that scale - it has led to some surprising predictions.Planck scale gravity says that if light and matter are released at right angles in a gravitational field (light to travel horizontally, matter to fall vertically), both will reach the surface of the mass at exactly the same moment, if they both do. Standard theory agrees to eight decimal places, but only PSG has a full explanation. The rule was found via PSG in 2021.In 1971, Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott dropped a hammer and a falcon's feather on the moon. There was no need to confirm Galileo's discovery, or his experiment centuries earlier (which according to legend involved dropping weights from the leaning tower of Pisa). But with no air resistance and less gravity, it demonstrated the principle well. As expected, they fell slowly side by side, and hit the ground at the same time. Now it has been shown that light and matter do the same thing.It's far from obvious why they hit the ground at the same time. The rule may have been known by a few, but not many, as no-one was looking for it. But the new geometry led right to it, and the theory has a simple, unexpected explanation - for this and many other phenomena.As with Kerr's first book, The Unsolved Puzzle, this book is for both physicists and popular science readers. It brings a whole new take on one area of physics - and gravity is an area that many know well enough to understand the old questions, and the simple, surprising new ways to answer them.
Time Again
With his country seemingly crumbling around him, Scott F. Parker sets off to the northeastern corner of Oregon for a week of solitude, where he will hike, paddle, and reflect on the imminent birth of his son. A companion to his earlier book Being on the Oregon Coast, Time Again reveals Parker's thoughts about life, meaning, and, above all, fatherhood as they evolve in more playful directions. Guided by Zhuangzi and Bob Dylan, Parker balances this essay on the thin line of being.
Appalachian Ecocriticism and the Paradox of Place
Ecocriticism and Appalachian studies continue to grow and thrive in academia, as they expand on their foundational works to move in new and exciting directions. When researching these areas separately, there is a wealth of information. However, when researching Appalachian ecocriticism specifically, the lack of consolidated scholarship is apparent. With Appalachian Ecocriticism and the Paradox of Place, editors Jessica Cory and Laura Wright have created the only book-length scholarly collection of Appalachian ecocriticism. Appalachian Ecocriticism and the Paradox of Place is a collection of scholarly essays that engage environmental and ecocritical theories and Appalachian literature and film. These essays, many from well-established Appalachian studies and southern studies scholars and ecocritics, engage with a variety of ecocritical methodologies, including ecofeminism, ecospiritualism, queer ecocriticism, and materialist ecocriticism, to name a few. Adding Appalachian voices to the larger ecocritical discourse is vital not only for the sake of increased diversity but also to allow those unfamiliar with the region and its works to better understand the Appalachian region in a critical and authentic way. Including Appalachia in the larger ecocritical community allows for the study of how the region, its issues, and its texts intersect with a variety of communities, thus allowing boundless possibilities for learning and analysis.
Pseudoscience
Everyone has heard of the term "pseudoscience," typically used to describe something that looks like science, but is somehow false, misleading, or unproven. Many would be able to agree on a list of things that fall under its umbrella - astrology, phrenology, UFOlogy, creationism, and eugenics might come to mind. But defining what makes these fields "pseudo" is a far more complex issue. It has proved impossible to come up with a simple criterion that enables us to differentiate pseudoscience from genuine science. Given the virulence of contemporary disputes over the denial of climate change and anti-vaccination movements - both of which display allegations of "pseudoscience" on all sides - there is a clear need to better understand issues of scientific demarcation. Pseudoscience: A Very Short Introduction explores the philosophical and historical attempts to address this problem of demarcation. This book argues that by understanding doctrines that are often seen as antithetical to science, we can learn a great deal about how science operated in the past and does today. This exploration raises several questions: How does a doctrine become demonized as pseudoscientific? Who has the authority to make these pronouncements? How is the status of science shaped by political or cultural contexts? How does pseudoscience differ from scientific fraud? Michael D. Gordin both answers these questions and guides readers along a bewildering array of marginalized doctrines, looking at parapsychology (ESP), Lysenkoism, scientific racism, and alchemy, among others, to better understand the struggle to define what science is and is not, and how the controversies have shifted over the centuries. Pseudoscience: A Very Short Introduction provides a historical tour through many of these fringe fields in order to provide tools to think deeply about scientific controversies both in the past and in our present.

Compass Lines
In essays that traverse latitudes and continents, John Messick's Compass Lines explores the paths we take toward belonging. Here, broken vehicles mark the porous boundaries between built and natural worlds. Deserted backpacks trace immigration routes along the US-Mexico border. A job fighting wildfire near a ghost town reveals the dangers of a life spent wandering. Slowly, as Messick learns the rhythms of seasons-through wing prints on snow, cupboard shelves stocked for winter, and quiet moments before the birth of his son-he discovers that a connection with the places we inhabit requires both movement and stillness.From Antarctica to the Arctic, a Cambodia tattoo parlor to the Florida swamps, and from childhood to fatherhood, this deeply felt debut invites readers on a search for the most elusive landscape of all-home.

Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, Nathan Rosen
The work published by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) in 1935 is a classic in modern physics. It discusses, for the first time, the central feature of the quantum theory: entanglement. In general, systems are intertwined with each other in nature; that is, they have only one common, non-divisible state. This fact is responsible for all the oddities commonly associated with quantum theory, including the thought experiments with Schr繹dinger's cat and Wigner's friend. The entanglement of quantum mechanics plays a central role in experiments with atoms and photons (Nobel Prize 2012 for Haroche and Wineland) and the planned construction of quantum computers. This book presents EPR's original work amplified with a detailed commentary, which examines both the historical context and all aspects of entanglement. In particular, it focuses on the interpretation of quantum theory and its consequences for a basic understanding of nature.
History of Physics
This is a new publication of Max von Laue's famous book "History of Physics" (typeset in LaTeX).This is a valuable book not only because of its very informative content but particularly because it was written by a Nobel Laureate for Physics (1914). Although it covers the history of physics up to 1940, this does not make it outdated because no period of history, especially of the history of physics, can be outdated and because 1940 ("taken as the terminal date" as von Laue put it) is well after the completion of the two greatest revolutions not only in physics but in all the science - the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.What makes this book even more valuable is von Laue's brilliant style of writing. Here are two examples to demonstrate that reading this book will undoubtedly be both helpful and enjoyable: "Certainly, nothing in its previous history had contributed so powerfully to the establishment of respect for the young science of physics as did the Newtonian computation of the orbits of the planets. From then on, this science has been a great mental empire, which no other power may ignore with impunity.""The question is often raised as to the objectivity, the truth of scientific knowledge... Yet, it [physics] itself furnishes proof of its objective truth, proof that has overwhelming power of conviction... Whoever has been privileged to live through such an extremely surprising event, even at a considerable distance, or, at least, to survey it after it has occurred, can no longer retain any doubt that the confluent theories certainly contain, if not complete truth, a substantial core of objective truth that is devoid of human embellishment."

Prayer Treatments for Health, Wealth, Peace and Joy.
All thoughts are prayers being manifested within your conscious and unconscious mind, whether you are aware of it or not. One's outer life is generally a reflection of one's inner thoughts. The degree that you are filled with faith is to the degree that Source is actively manifesting your prayers. Praying is not asking, begging, or supplicating but attuning yourself to God's Will. When you require physical healing, financial increase, prosperity, or any adjustments necessary to live a conscious, happy, balanced lifestyle, you must accept that God already knows your desires. Source is always guiding you toward your true ultimate purpose. Prayer is a vital part of your life. Know that by asking, you receive. In other words, you affirm your desired end results and goals before they manifest in your lives. You must believe that you already possess what you seek: health, relationships, money, or joy. Connecting with your true purpose will bring about a conscious way of enjoying and living a balanced, fulfilled lifestyle unleashing all of your potentials to achieve health, wealth, happiness, security, and peace. By living your true Souls' purpose, you automatically attract to you a better lifestyle filled with prosperity, comfort, abundance, and joy. . . . . . . and so it is!

Algorithmic Modernity
Algorithms have been transforming human society long before the advent of computing. Yet they continue to exist in relative invisibility despite their presence behind many of our modern social interactions. The rhetoric of algorithmic neutrality is more alive than ever, and algorithms are often depicted as obvious and unproblematic--without context and without history. Algorithmic Modernity draws together the history of mathematics and intellectual history to convey the enduring global history of the algorithm as a computational tool, epistemic ideal, and rhetorical figure alongside the ascendance of modernity. Through historical reconstructions of relevant thinkers and cultural phenomena over the last five hundred years, this collection of essays reveals how algorithms became the standard method for solving problems from the early inclusion of algorithms in Newton's formation of calculus to their later influence in the New Deal economy. Together, these essays create an informed history for readers interested in the social and cultural implications of today's pervasive digital algorithm. Featuring experts in mathematics, history, and computing, Algorithmic Modernity presents a multi-faceted exploration of the genealogy of algorithmic thinking in modern times.
The Tangle of Science
Science is remarkably reliable. It puts people on the moon, performs laser eye surgery, tells us about ancient civilizations and species, and predicts the future of our climate. What underwrites this reliability? This book argues that the standard answers--the scientific method, rigour, and objectivity--are insufficient for the job. Here we propose a new model of science which places its products front and centre. In The Tangle of Science we show how any reliable piece of science is underpinned by a vast, diverse, and thick network of other scientific products. In doing so we bring back into focus areas of science that have been long neglected, emphasizing how every product, from the screws that hold the space shuttle together, to ways of measuring the consumer price index, to Einstein's theory of general relativity, work together to support results we can trust.
Chaim L. Pekeris and the Art of Applying Mathematics with Weizac, 1955-1963
This book describes the groundbreaking work of Chaim Leib Pekeris and his collaborators. Between 1955 and 1963 they used the first electronic computer built in Israel, the Weizmann Automatic Computer (WEIZAC), to develop powerful numerical methods that helped achieve new and accurate solutions of the Boltzmann equation, calculate energy levels of the helium atom, produce detailed geophysical and seismological models derived from the study of the free oscillations of the earth, and refine models used to predict meteorological phenomena and global oceanic tides. This book provides a unique account of the pioneering work of Chaim L. Pekeris in applied mathematics and explains in detail the background to the rise of the Weizmann Institute as a world-class center of scientific excellence. This hitherto untold story is of great interest to historians of twentieth-century science with special emphasis on the application of computer-assisted numerical methods in various branches of mathematical physics.
Logically Vol. I - Pharmacine - The great lies about medicine, energy, politics, religion and more
Questa raccolta si occupa dell'inganno che le persone ignare sono costrette a sperimentare in tutti i campi in cui 癡 coinvolto il denaro e spiega il modo in cui viene attuato l'inganno. Il primo volume della raccolta, relativo alla medicina, elenca le numerose terapie esistenti per la cura reale di quasi tutte le malattie, anche quelle che "Pharmacine" non pu簷 curare (cancro, epatite, sclerosi multipla, ecc.). Ci sono diversi riferimenti a pratiche e medici, quasi sconosciuti al pubblico, che sono molto validi e possono facilmente fare ci簷 che la medicina allopatica non 癡 in grado di fare: cio癡, ristabilire l'equilibrio naturale del corpo e riguadagnare la salute. Trattamenti di personaggi storici come Arnold Erhet, Rudolf Breuss, Max Gerson, Catherine Kousmine, Hulda Regehr Clark e molti altri vengono attentamente esaminati e spiegati. L'autore tratta allo stesso tempo l'inganno energetico e, soprattutto, l'enorme inganno sull'UFO (che rivela la verit?) che sar? curato nei seguenti volumi. Ricorda che: "Se 癡 vero che le religioni sono l'oppio dei popoli, 癡 altrettanto vero che l'ignoranza e l'ingenuit? del popolo sono la cocaina dei ricchi e dei potenti".
