World leaders have made a forceful statement that climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity in the twenty-first century. However, little progress has been made in implementing policies to address climate change. In Climate Uncertainty and Risk, eminent climate scientist Judith Curry shows how we can break this gridlock.

This book is part memoir, history, exploration, and critique of the Jehovah's Witness religion. I was born and raised as a Jehovah's Witness. Eventually, I found myself shunned due to actions considered unacceptable by the leaders of the religion at the time. I lost everything except the shirt on my back and the shoes on my feet. I faced a series of personal setbacks as a result of being cut off from childhood friends and family.

As philosophy professor Taylor Carman explains in his helpful introduction, Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) was the founder of modern phenomenology, one of the most important and influential movements of the 20th century. Ideas, published in 1913 – its full title is Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy – was the key work. It is arguably ‘the most fundamental and comprehensive statement of the fundamental principles of Husserl’s mature philosophy’.

Depending on No-Thing is a clear and unsentimental look at what remains when the imagined center of “me” falls away. Robert Saltzman writes from lived experience, not doctrine. He dismantles the spiritual promises of final answers and special states, turning attention instead to the simplicity of experience as it actually shows up—without metaphysical storylines, without self-improvement agendas, without a someone behind the curtain.

What if the universe is not an indifferent machine, but a living, quantum tapestry woven from energy and consciousness? And what if the source code of reality is written in frequency, and the human soul is the only instrument fine enough to read it? In a world saturated with fragmented spiritual advice, The Resonance Codex emerges as a rare and audacious masterwork that re-architects our understanding of reality.

Reporting the Truth. Restoring the Church.

For too long, Christianity and evolution have been cast as enemies—faith clinging to the past, science racing into the future. But what if they were never meant to be in conflict? This book presents a bold vision: evolution is not chaos but a path, and Christianity reveals its goal. Science shows how matter rises into life and consciousness; faith proclaims why it moves—toward unity, freedom, and love in Christ. Reconciliation means more than compromise.

Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ...

Dabei sind die den Dialog beherrschenden zwei Fragen noch recht leicht zu fassen: «Was ist, wenn das Eins ist?» und «Was ist, wenn das Eins nicht ist?» Was in der Untersuchung dieser Fragen sich dann entwickelt, ist eine weit ausgreifende und schwer nachzuvollziehende Reflexion des begrifflichen Verhältnisses von Einheit und Vielheit, Ähnlichkeit und Unähnlichkeit, Gleichheit und Verschiedenheit, Sein und Nicht-Sein. Das hier vorliegende Hörbuch gibt den Parmenides in vollständiger Lesung in der Übersetzung von Otto Apelt wieder und stellt den 21.

For centuries, diplomacy has been humanity’s most elegant disguise for deceit. Treaties are broken before their ink dries, and the pursuit of peace has become a theatre of power. Algorithmic Diplomacy tears away this illusion, asking the most dangerous question of the twenty-first century: what if the only path to lasting peace is to surrender politics to reason itself? Boris Kriger envisions a world where nations speak not through fear and vanity, but through a transparent architecture of artificial intelligences bound by international law.

What if democratic socialism isn’t something to fear, but a serious, practical way to organize an economy and a society?For many people, “socialism” still conjures Cold War propaganda, failed states, or online shouting matches. Meanwhile, the system we’re told is “the only way” delivers homelessness, medical debt, climate breakdown, and billionaire fortunes built on other people’s exhausted labor. How to Be a Democratic Socialist is a clear, engaging guide to what democratic socialism actually is, where it came from, and how it works in practice.

Written by the medieval Indian Buddhist monk Shantideva, The Bodhicaryavatara is one of the most beloved and frequently taught works in Buddhism and a favorite of the Dalai Lama. An inspiring and powerful poem that uses a gripping, first-person, confessional voice, it is the most systematic work of ethical thought in the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition. And its invaluable insights, exhortations, and encouragements about how we can relieve suffering by becoming more caring and compassionate are universal.

Sometime in the future, when social scientists begin to write the first books about the failures of the West and the defunct American experiment, they will all confront this basic truth. Despite all the proclamations of freedom and equality, the realities of racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, and gross economic inequalities constantly belied these ideals. The narcissism and the racism the US and the West harbors through their blind commitment to individualism is destabilizing enough on its own to terrorize and implode nation-states.
