Nutrient Requirements in Fish offers a comprehensive exploration of how nutritional science has evolved, what experimental research has revealed, and how these findings apply to modern aquaculture practices. This book examines the historical foundations of fish nutrient research, key breakthroughs in experimental methodologies, and the latest insights into macro- and micronutrient utilization across multiple species.

The richness of the Irish language is closely tied to the natural landscape and offers a more magical way of seeing the world. Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic.

Brought to you by Penguin. 'I'd toast the moon and look at the sky... I think it draws us to it; we wonder what lies beyond.' Maggie Aderin-Pocock’s destiny was always written in the stars. From the age of three, inspired by The Clangers, her dream was to go into space. Throughout a chaotic...

Nuclear energy stands at the crossroads of fear and necessity, science and public imagination, catastrophe and promise. This book offers a clear, penetrating examination of one of humanity’s most consequential technologies—its origins in cosmic processes, its role in the modern energy landscape, the accidents that shaped its reputation, and the profound ethical questions that surround its use. Rather than taking sides, it illuminates the hidden mechanisms, political pressures, psychological forces, and historical legacies that form the real structure of the nuclear debate.

Three hundred years ago, Leibniz proposed that our world is the "best of all possible worlds." Voltaire turned this idea into a joke. Philosophy moved on. The insight was lost. Until now.

Read it. Rhyme it. Remember it. The Brain-Science Method That Makes Organic Chemistry Finally Click. Organic chemistry is one of the most failed college science courses. Textbooks overload you with dense details, long mechanisms, and endless exceptions—without showing you how to make any of it stick. Rereading doesn’t build understanding. It just burns time.

For most of human history, life offered no safety net. Environments shifted, resources vanished, and stability was always temporary. People lived on the move—carrying knowledge, forming bonds, and adapting to constant change. This audiobook examines how human life took shape long before familiar societies appeared. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, and evolutionary science, it explores how early humans lived, moved, cooperated, and adapted over deep time.

Master general chemistry without the overwhelm. If you've ever felt lost in formulas, atomic theory, and reaction mechanisms that refuse to make sense, you're not alone. Most general chemistry textbooks pack in dense paragraphs and endless calculations—periodic trends blur with bonding theories, and you're rereading without learning.

More mounds were built by ancient Native Americans in Wisconsin than in any other region of North America—between 15,000 and 20,000, at least 4,000 of which remain today. Most impressive are the effigy mounds, huge earthworks sculpted in the shapes of thunderbirds, water panthers, and other forms, not found anywhere else in the world in such concentrations. This second edition of Indian Mounds of Wisconsin is updated throughout, incorporating exciting new research and satellite imagery. Written for general listeners, it offers a comprehensive overview of these intriguing earthworks.

This work of narrative non-fiction deals with common questions and doubts people have about vaccines, using very accessible, conversational, non-technical language.

Ice is far more than frozen water—it is a force that shapes planets, preserves history, and hides some of nature’s strangest secrets. Hidden World of Ice takes you on a fascinating journey through the frozen corners of our world, uncovering the science, history, and bizarre wonders locked inside ice. From ancient glaciers that store Earth’s climate memory to the strange physics that makes ice behave unlike any other solid, this book reveals why frozen water is one of nature’s greatest mysteries.

Buddha and the Quantum offers a bold yet approachable way to understand modern physics through lived experience. While many books draw parallels between science and Eastern thought, this one flips the equation—showing how space, time, and the physical world itself arise within consciousness. Just as planetary motion only makes sense when the sun is placed at the center, modern physics becomes clearer when awareness takes center stage.

In How to Plant a Billion Trees, Walker tries to understand why her whole life didn’t fall apart, as was predicted. As she pieces together her story, she finds that it was thanks in no small part to her mother, her sisters, her friends who did not let the sexual abuse to define her. In this candid portrayal of a young girl, Nicole Walker writes about how, thanks to her family, her friends, and the mountains of the Wasatch, Cascades, and San Francisco Peaks, she reknit herself into the fabric of a supportive culture.

Dirt Rich Living: From Corporate Cubicles to Udder Chaos is the brutally honest, often hilarious story of starting over the hard way. With no manual, no backup plan, and no clue what he’s doing, Morgan shares the flubs, the breakthroughs, and the grace that comes from betting big on yourself.

A world normally hidden beneath equations and laboratory instruments unfolds here as a living, dynamic foundation of existence. This book reveals how tunneling, coherence, entanglement, and quantum uncertainty shape the deepest processes of biology—from photosynthesis and enzymatic catalysis to genetic variation, neural complexity, and the evolution of life itself.

This little book discusses paths to address environmental conflicts based on a restorative justice perspective of imagining, practicing, and living justice. It proposes an approach that understands the relationship between humankind and environment beyond the narrow conception of homo economicus, considering the human beings in their social, political, economic, historic, spiritual, cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and ecological dimensions, as well as in their connection with nature and non-human entities.
