Mother Earth Isnt Dying presents a graphic and compelling exposé of the impact mankind is having upon the Earth and collaterally upon itself. The author identifies a massive plague of humans, with a quadrupling of the global population in the last 80100 years, enabled primarily by mankinds discovery and exhumation of the energy giant fossil carbon, which has fuelled the advance of civilisation. Mankind no longer lives in sustainable consonance with the natural world but is in direct competition with it, leading to widespread destruction of essential terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric systems and resources. Unfortunately, the intellect of mankind appears to be at variance with its genetic imperatives. The ideal of a happy, healthy, and liberated life in an unspoiled environment is in us all, but it is now a wish list, utopian, and mere fantasy. The elephant in the room is mankinds inherent compulsion to reproduce. The human genome is that of an animal, and its mind, which is its heart and soul, is unable to compete. If mankind can pull itself out of this predicament, it will have accomplished a truly superhuman feat. "This is an excellent book, well written and researched. The author uses his solid and wide-ranging knowledge of the arts, sciences and humanities to present climate change as the worldwide phenomenon it truly is. Here is a graphic example of the interconnectedness of all things. There are some suggestions as to the steps we might take to address the situation, but it is primarily a work designed to open the eyes of everyone who believes that climate change is just a storm in a teacup. The reality is that your entire kitchen and the planet it sits upon are about to disintegrate." SHARON SHIPMAN, ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF LAND MANAGEMENT.

Ever since Charles Darwin wrote about the origin of species, there has been a great deal of argument and controversy over the evolution of humans.The author examines the evidence for the genetic basis of evolution in general and the influence of natural selection on the development of the human race.The focus of the book then turns to the question of what the future might hold for the further evolution of humans with particular reference to space exploration and the long-term effects of space travel.The human body is highly adapted in evolutionary terms to living under the influence of gravity and its absence can have some serious health consequences. Weightlessness and its effects on human physiology are only one aspect of space travel the returning astronauts have to deal with.Long space journeys will involve time discrepancies which, in extreme circumstances, result in astronauts returning to a changed world in which their peer group has already passed away and they find themselves amongst strangers.It is difficult to determine exactly what the psychological effects might be on returning voyagers, but it is likely to be quite traumatic.The author suggests the possibility that those who choose to become career astronauts will likely prefer to remain permanently living in space, and over time exposure to different selection pressures will result in a human variant given that both men and women will be equally drawn to scientific research and/or the adventure and excitement involved.

We all want to live more healthily and ethically. This book is not just for vegans; its for anyone who is curious about veganism, its principles and what even non-vegans can learn from its practice. According to reports, the number of vegans in the UK has more than quadrupled since 2014 and with the rise in plant-based foods and cruelty-free products showing no sign of stopping, Think Like a Vegan is a timely exploration of how vegan ethics can be applied to every area of our lives.Through a personal and often irreverent lens, the authors explore a variety of contemporary topics related to animal use. From the basics of vegan logic to politics, economics, love and other aspects of being human, each chapter draws you into a thought-provoking conversation about your daily ethical decisions that will open your eyes to a new way of living in a plant-powered world.

Without a doubt, ufology and the search for extraterrestrial intelligences and clues are among the most fascinating concepts in the process of human understanding. It probably began in unknown times, when early humans were unexpectedly "confronted" with aliens and UFOs. This is evidenced, for example, by petroglyphs and figures that presumably depict such encounters or what they saw. Pre-astronautics, which we will come to later, even assumes that extraterrestrial intelligences visited Earth in the prehistory of humanity and significantly influenced human civilization. Ancient myths and legends of gods were also studied for this purpose.Similar theories assume that there are still remnants and survivors of an ancient "super-civilization" that, after a massive "war of the gods or a global catastrophe," could exist in very remote areas or even in underground bases/worlds on Earth, on the Moon, Mars, and hidden in Antarctica. Then theres the hypothesis that UFOs could also originate from other dimensions (time travel) or parallel worlds. Do portals belong to this category?With the advent of manned space travel and the advent of television, interest in possible intelligent extraterrestrials flying through space with their spaceships and advanced technology, and even visiting Earth, rapidly grew worldwide. The fact that there are extraterrestrials with good or evil intentions is part of the creation of every single science fiction story. There are already tens of thousands of books and science fiction novels worldwide, as well as treatises and discussions, all dealing with ufology and extraterrestrials.Read here how I got into ufology and my conclusion.

El análisis de seis de las personas más creativas del mundo para aprender a desarrollar nuestra propia creatividad.Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan, Walt Disney, Vincent Van Gogh, J.K. Rowling, Steve Jobs. Considerados como seis de los mayores genios de la historia contemporanea. Pero ¿Eran especiales?, ¿nacieron tocados por la varita magica de la iluminacion?, ¿como fueron sus inicios?, ¿como actuaban cuando no los conocia nadie?, ¿a que problemas se enfrentaron?, ¿cuales eran sus habitos y rutinas?, ¿como pensaban?, ¿que estrategias utilizaban?, ¿que alternativas tomaron cuando la situacion se puso complicada?Las ideas no surgen de la nada, sino que nacen a partir de la informacion, del conocimiento. El proceso creativo implica estudiar lo que otros han hecho en el terreno que nos interesa, analizar sus proyectos, reflexionar con pensamiento critico e intentar establecer conexiones en otros sectores, entre otras acciones. La clave esta en identificar lo que a cada uno le apasiona y llegar al estado de flow que hace que parezca que el tiempo pasa mas rapido cuando uno esta inmerso en una actividad que le atrapa, y en no dejar que decaiga el entusiasmo al afrontar unos obstaculos que, aunque muchas veces son desmoralizantes, al final casi siempre se pueden sortear.Partiendo de la premisa de que hay algo sumamente enigmatico en el hecho de que los seres humanos, tan parecidos desde un punto de vista biologico, seamos tan diferentes en ciertos aspectos que tienen que ver con la forma de pensar, el objetivo de este libro de motivacion personal es reconocer los patrones que hay tras el exito de estos seis grandes genios: Albert Einstein, quiza el cientifico mundialmente mas conocido por el desarrollo de la teoria de la relatividad; Michael Jordan, el jugador de baloncesto norteamericano considerado como el mejor de la historia de este deporte; Walt Disney, el hombre que convirtio un raton en un imperio; Vincent Van Gogh, el gran pintor incomprendido; J.K. Rowling, la escritora que hizo magia con las letras; y Steve Jones, el visionario de la tecnologia, para que cualquier persona los pueda aplicar en su vida cotidiana y acercarse a ese nivel de creatividad. Porque no en cada uno de nosotros hay un genio universal, pero si que todo ser humano tiene un potencial inimaginable, pues todos nacemos con algun talento en particular que podemos trabajar y desarrollar.No es que existan unos pocos iluminados que tienen ideas y otros sin esos dones que no las tengan, sino que estan, por un lado, quienes se preparan para ser creativos, tener ideas y expandir su imaginacion, y por el otro quienes pasan por la vida como espectadores pasivos que actuan a partir de las ideas de otros.

Hoy por hoy, los efectos perniciosos del calentamiento global son innegables. Se reflejan en la presencia de eventos climáticos cada vez más profundos y recurrentes, como las variaciones extremas de temperatura, la falta de lluvia, los huracanes, los tsunamis y los tornados, a los que se suma el aumento progresivo en el nivel de agua en los mares.Este libro se enfoca en los impactos del cambio climatico en el medio rural y en la produccion primaria de alimentos, asi como en el papel de los recursos naturales en la absorcion de gases de efecto invernadero. Se analizan tambien los compromisos internacionales establecidos en el marco de las Naciones Unidas para reducir tales emisiones en cada uno de sus paises miembros.La motivacion de sus autores es proporcionar informacion a cientificos sociales, investigadores y estudiantes de economia y desarrollo que muestren interes y preocupacion por la sostenibilidad presente y futura de la humanidad y de las demas especies que habitan el planeta, ante la crisis climatica que nos aqueja. Por ello, se ha puesto especial enfasis en escribir un libro accesible para estudiantes universitarios, que sirva como material de referencia en cursos avanzados de licenciatura y en los primeros niveles de posgrado. Los autores esperan contribuir al conocimiento y a motivar la participacion de las nuevas generaciones en la mitigacion y captura de los gases de efecto invernadero derivados de las actividades humanas.

Este eBook nasce da convicço de que a liderança, quando aplicada em operaçes urbanas, no pode ser reduzida a um conjunto de regras administrativas, pois ela envolve sensibilidade para enxergar a cidade como organismo em permanente transformaço, ideia reforçada por Riggs (2022) ao discutir como as ruas concentram fluxos de mobilidade, dimenses sociais e culturais que moldam o cotidiano das comunidades. A escolha desse tema no e fruto de abstraço teorica, mas da vivencia pratica de situaçes em que decises rapidas e estrategicas determinaram o rumo de açes coletivas, e essa experiencia encontra eco em King (2025), que descreve em seus estudos como cenarios urbanos contemporaneos demandam lideres aptos a atuar em ambientes volateis e de altissimo impacto para a populaço.
