From cultural appropriation and sustainability to diversity, inclusion, and venture capitalism, Psychedelic Justice: Toward a Diverse and Equitable Psychedelic Culture examines the history of psychedelics, celebrates its present moment, and contemplates how advocates and policymakers can shape the future integration of psychedelics into general society.

Imagine time as the force driving existence, rather than just a procession of events. How can that concept enhance how we regard science, religion, philosophy, and our daily living? Review the possibilities presented in this audiobook. Then you decide. Our tendency to initiate, define, and measure causation dimensionally continues to obscure underlying reality. This audiobook provides a simplified imperative of two concurrent integrated realms, one of unity where everything occurs, and one where the results of action in unity are displayed dimensionally.

Impressive Deception offers an inside look at the deceiving portrayal of evolution by the media and in our public schools. DeeDee Briski uncovers the media bias that forms the basis of the worldview that has become the accepted view in our mainstream educational systems.

De ses mythes fondateurs à son effondrement face aux invasions barbares, ce coffret retrace l'épopée de l'Histoire de Rome. La petite cité, vouée par la légende à un avenir illustre, conquiert l'intégralité du monde connu de l'époque. Dans sa chute même, Rome, à la fois ville et empire, établit les racines de notre civilisation.

Moral Ground brings together the testimony of over eighty visionaries, theologians and religious leaders, scientists, elected officials, business leaders, naturalists, activists, and writers to present a diverse and compelling call to honor our individual and collective moral responsibility to our planet. In the face of environmental degradation and global climate change, scientific knowledge alone does not tell us what we ought to do.

Join Dr. Hein on this exciting adventure into the world of unknown energy and intelligence.

The Next Decade of Biotech is a sweeping exploration of how biotechnology is transforming health, food, industry, and the environment. It covers breakthroughs like CRISPR, mRNA vaccines, and synthetic biology, and examines the integration of biotech with AI, robotics, and quantum computing. The book highlights how biotech is enabling personalized medicine, sustainable agriculture, regenerative materials, and ecological restoration. It also addresses critical ethical challenges—gene editing, data privacy, access, and environmental risk—and urges inclusive, democratic governance.

In this book, two distinguished scientists tackle common misconceptions about race, human biology, and racism. Using an accessible question-and-answer format, Joseph L. Graves Jr. and Alan H. Goodman explain the differences between social and biological notions of race. Although there are many meaningful human genetic variations, they do not map onto socially constructed racial categories. Drawing on evidence from both natural and social science, Graves and Goodman dismantle the malignant myth of gene-based racial difference.

Among all life on Earth, we alone experience rich moral emotions, follow complex rules governing how we treat one another, and engage in moral dialogue. But how did human morality evolve? And can humans become morally evolved? In A Better Ape, Victor Kumar and Richmond Campbell draw on the latest research in the biological and social sciences to explain the key role that morality has played in human evolution.

Unprecedented developments in bioengineering, biotechnology, and biomedicine breakthroughs that could improve the lives of people with debilitating diseases and injuries can also serve as stepping-stones to technologies that can enhance human beings and alter human nature, raising fears about how biotechnologies could be misused.

Alain Viala nous propose une plongée dans le Moyen Age sous forme d'un cours didactique que Daniel Mesguich illustre par des lectures de textes, qui nous imprègnent d'une époque et de son expression.

L'ordre du Temple était un ordre religieux et militaire issu de la chevalerie chrétienne du Moyen Âge, ses membres étaient appelés les Templiers. Il y eu jusqu'à 15 000 chevaliers.

Il constitua à travers l'Europe un réseau de monastères appelés commanderies.

The renowned science writer, mathematician, and bestselling author of Fermat's Last Theorem masterfully refutes the overreaching claims the "New Atheists," providing millions of educated believers with a clear, engaging explanation of what science really says, how there's still much space for...

On Not Dying is an anthropological, historical, and philosophical exploration of immortality as a secular and scientific category. Based on an ethnography of immortalist communities - those who believe humans can extend their personal existence indefinitely through technological means - and an examination of other institutions involved at the end of life, Abou Farman argues that secular immortalism is an important site to explore the tensions inherent in secularism.

Does human life have any meaning? Does the question even make sense today? For centuries, the question of the meaning or purpose of human life was assumed by scholars and theologians to have a religious answer: Life has meaning because humans were made in the image of a good god. In the 19th century, however, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution changed everything - and the human organism was seen to be more machine than spirit.

Why has the UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) problem never gone away, despite repeated efforts by science, the military, and the state to explain or dismiss it? For most of the twentieth century, reports of unidentified flying objects were treated as cultural error: cranks, hoaxes...

In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately.

Was könnte da der Sinn des Lebens sein? Der Wissenschaftsinfluencer Tim Vollert hat darauf eine faszinierende Antwort, und die liegt in der Physik. Auf seiner spannenden Reise vom Urknall bis zum Kältetod des Universums erklärt er nicht nur die Physik des Kosmos, sondern auch die Biologie hinter der Entstehung des Lebens.

For more than 50 years, the world's top scientists searched for the "missing" planet Vulcan, whose existence was mandated by Isaac Newton's theories of gravity. Countless hours were spent on the hunt for the elusive orb, and some of the era's most skilled astronomers even claimed to have found it. There was just one problem: It was never there.
