We are the last generation to manage only humans. The next will manage hybrid teams of humans and AI agents. Most leaders are not ready. The rare organizations achieving 200% productivity gains from AI are not using better technology than those achieving 20%. They are managing it differently. The authors learned this from failure. Across many AI deployments, the pattern became clear: capable agents failed not from weak technology, but from a missing management layer.

When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and return to the countryside of her childhood, she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly born hare. Yet when she finds the creature, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival. Raising Hare chronicles their journey together and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We witness an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife.

From the discovery of entirely new kinds of galaxies to a window into cosmic ‘prehistory’, Bothwell shows us the universe as we’ve never seen it before - literally. Since the dawn of our species, people all over the world have gazed in awe at the night sky. But for all the beauty and wonder of the stars, when we look with just our eyes we are seeing and appreciating only a tiny fraction of the universe. What does the cosmos have in store for us beyond the phenomena we can see, from black holes to supernovas? 

There are moments in human progress when scale alone commands attention, not simply because something is large, but because it represents a boundary that has been pushed, a limit that has been tested and extended. The USS Gerald R. Ford is one such moment. It is not merely the largest warship ever built, nor simply the most advanced aircraft carrier in service. It is a convergence of ambition, engineering, and purpose, brought together in a form that moves steadily across the world’s oceans, carrying with it both capability and consequence.

We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science. Scientists are confident that there is alien life across the universe yet we have not moved beyond our perception of 'aliens' as Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing. Using his own expert understanding of life on earth and Darwin's theory of evolution - which applies throughout the universe - Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like.
