[#1 New Release in Solar System on Amazon]

Written for the general lay reader, The Living Universe explores how the latest scientific discoveries are rewriting what we thought we knew about space, planets, and the origins of life.

It explains how we've found that the universe is filled with planets, not just around other stars but also traveling in the space between them, and that many may carry life with them.

Some of these wandering planets have almost certainly been captured by the Sun's gravity, changing not just the arrangement of planets in the Solar System, but also the development of life on our Earth.

Neuroscience reveals that happiness is not just a fleeting emotion, but a measurable brain state grounded in the brain’s reward system and shaped by its social, cognitive, and aversive networks. Complementing these insights, psychology helps us understand which life goals are worth pursuing, which social connections most enrich our well-being, which self-help practices foster a positive mindset, and how to effectively manage the key obstacles to sustained happiness—stress, fear, and depression.

If Only Happiness Was a No-Brainer integrates findings from neuroscience and psychology to present five essential pillars of pleasure, purpose, people, perspective, and resilience. Through lighthearted personal stories and clear, evidence-based insights, this book shows how each pillar is expressed in the brain—offering readers an understanding of how to have a more meaningful, connected, and happy lives.

With opportunity comes uncertainty.
 
An industrial revolution has artificial intelligence is creating a cultural upheaval.
 
But is this progress or peril? Is the potential really worth the risk?
 
In The Paradox of Progress, Dr. Michael M. Karch delves into the ethical complexities of AI's rapid evolution. Drawing from a career spanning three decades in robotics, orthopedic surgery, and international disaster response, Dr. Karch investigates AI's far-reaching impact and initiates critical discussion about its duality. This is a compelling exploration through historical precedents of progress and AI's challenges today, including fears of data bias, deep fakes, technological hegemony, and job displacement. The Paradox of Progress is a thought-provoking analysis and must-read perspective for discovering how to harness the power of AI, reflect on collective responsibility, and safeguard the future for ourselves and the next generation.

The untold story of how environmental change throughout the cosmos shaped five hundred years of human civilization.

Our solar system is a dynamic arena where asteroids careen off course and solar winds hurl charged particles across billions of miles of space. Yet we seldom consider how these events, so immense in scale, influence our fragile blue planet: Earth.

In Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean, Dagomar Degroot traces the surprising threads linking human endeavor to the rest of the solar system. He reveals how variability in planetary environments has shaped geopolitics, spurred scientific and cultural innovation, and encouraged new ideas about the emergence and fate of life. Martian dust storms altered the trajectory of the Cold War and inspired fantastical stories about alien civilizations. Comet impacts on Jupiter led to the first planetary defense strategy. And volcanic eruptions spewed sulfuric acid into Venus’s atmosphere, exposing the existential risks of climate change at home.

As we stand on the brink of a new era of space settlement, cosmic environments are becoming increasingly vulnerable to human activity. They may also hold the key to slowing the destruction of environments on Earth. Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean urges us to develop an interplanetary environmentalism across a vast mosaic of entangled worlds and to consider the profound connections that bind us to the cosmos and each other.

Help Make Sense of What Doesn’t Make Sense

This isn’t just a book about branding—it’s a guide to the hidden operating system behind human behaviour.

The Divided Brain introduces a powerful metaphor rooted in our minds are driven by two distinct but interlocking systems—the fast, emotional Old Brain and the slower, rational New Brain. Every decision your customers make, every instinct your team follows, and every reaction you encounter in a negotiation or pitch stems from the tension between these two mental gears.

Once you learn to spot which brain is in control, the fog lifts. What once seemed irrational becomes understandable. Sudden client reversals, hesitations in sales calls, or why one brand sticks while another flops—it all starts to make sense.

Inside, you'll learn how Decode emotional vs. rational behaviour in business settingsUse neuroscience-backed strategies to improve branding and marketingCraft messages that move people—beyond logicApply behavioural science in leadership, sales, and team dynamicsBlending insights from behavioural psychology, marketing, and over four decades of real-world brand strategy, The Divided Brain offers a practical lens for understanding people—not in theory, but in boardrooms, campaigns, workshops, and high-stakes conversations.

By the final chapter, you won’t just understand how the brain works—you’ll use that insight to lead smarter, connect deeper, and build brands that truly resonate.

If you’ve ever tried to make sense of what doesn’t make sense, start here.
