In an era of seemingly instant change, it's easy to think that today's revolutions - in communications, business, and many areas of daily life - are unprecedented. Today's changes may be new and may be happening faster than ever before. But our ancestors at times were just as bewildered by rapid upheavals in what we now call “networks” - the physical links that bind any society together.

Escape from Earth is the untold story of the engineers, dreamers and rebels who started the American space programme. In particular, it is the story of Frank Malina, founder of what became Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the scientist who cracked the, as he called it, problem of escape from the Earth by rocket. It's a wild ride.

Dans "L'Intelligence des plantes", Stefano Mancuso prouvait que les plantes sont des êtres hors normes qui, bien qu’elles n'aient ni cerveau ni système nerveux central, sont capables de comprendre, de réagir et de s'adapter à leur environnement. Dans "La révolution des plantes", Mancuso pousse son analyse en révélant les capacités essentielles des plantes à innover, à se souvenir et à apprendre, capacités qui pourraient nous aider à trouver des solutions créatives aux problèmes technologiques et écologiques actuels.

En moins de dix ans, la révolution épigénétique a bouleversé la biologie : l'environnement où nous évoluons, les aliments que nous consommons, les comportements et croyances que nous adoptons, les relations affectives et sociales que nous tissons sont autant de facteurs qui modulent, réveillent ou bloquent l'activité de nos gènes. Autrement dit, la "dictature" des gènes n'existe pas. Si nous avons bien hérité des chromosomes de nos parents, cela ne représente plus la fatalité que nous imaginions.

Il ciclista non fa code, non ha problemi di parcheggio. Procede spavaldo, impettito e il suo agile veicolo gli trasmette una tranquilla solennità. Beffardamente sorpassa l'automobilista imbottigliato nel traffico. Nell'illustrare i vantaggi della bici, Trochet non si limita a considerazioni di natura logistica. Bicicletta diventa sinonimo di benessere fisico e spirituale, libertà di movimento e di pensiero.

How smart machines are transforming us all - and what we should do about it. The smart machines revolution is reshaping our lives and our societies. Here, Nigel Shadbolt (one of Britain’s leading authorities on artificial intelligence) and Roger Hampson dispel terror, confusion and misconception. We are not about to be elbowed aside by a rebel army of superintelligent robots of our own creation. We were using tools before we became Homo sapiens and will continue to control them. How we exercise that control - in our private lives, in employment, in politics - and make the best of the wonderful opportunities will determine our collective future well-being.

The sunshine that hits the Earth in a single hour could meet the world's food and energy demands for an entire year. If only we could make use of it, that is. Solar power is not just about turning sunlight into electricity - we also need a way of capturing and storing it, of moving it around to where it's needed. Of providing power during the night. In short we need a way of bottling sunshine so we can have as much of it as we want, wherever and whenever we like.

Reminiscent of classic literary travelogues, Mark Schimmoeller's Slowspoke: A Unicyclist's Guide to America takes listeners on an inward, emotional journey as he inches across landscapes and communities from North Carolina to Arizona.

Now that communication can be as quick as thought, why hasn’t our ability to organize politically - to establish gains and beyond that, to maintain them - kept pace? The web has given us both capacity and speed: but progressive change seems to be something perpetually in the air, rarely manifesting, even more rarely staying with us.

Once we step on the treadmill of progress, it's hard to step off. Yet Edward Tenner shows that human ingenuity can be applied in self-preservation as well, and he sheds light on the ways in which the users of commonplace technology surprise designers and engineers, as when early typists developed the touch method still employed on today's keyboards. And he offers concrete advice for reaping benefits from the devices that we no longer seem able to live without. Although dependent on these objects, we can also use them to liberate ourselves.

A search for the contemporary Nikola Tesla - considered a mad scientist by his society for predicting global warming more than 100 years ago - fuels this analysis of climate issues, which introduces thinkers and inventors who are working to find possible ways out of the energy crisis. From Louis Michaud, a retired refinery engineer who claims we can harness the energy of man-made tornadoes, to a professor and a businessman who are running a company that genetically modifies algae so it can secrete ethanol naturally, these individuals and their unorthodox methods are profiled.

Even Steve Jobs didn't know what he had on his hands when he announced the original iPhone as a combination of a mere "three revolutionary products"--an iPod, a cell phone, and a keyboard-less handheld computer. Once Apple introduced the App Store and opened it up to outside developers, however, the iPhone became capable of serving a rapidly growing number of functions--now more than 350,000 and counting. But the iPhone has implications far beyond the phone or gadget market.
