The Hidden Science of Lost Civilisations - David Wilcock
The Hidden Science of Lost Civilisations is a guided tour through the most incredible scientific mysteries in the modern world, and a rediscovery of an ancient system of physics and spirituality that has since crumbled almost entirely into ruin. David Wilcock''s extensive knowledge of contemporary science has led him to rewrite the Mayan myth; 2012 will not be the end of the world, but will be the start of mankind''s golden period.A hidden intelligence, a living energy field that the universe is built from, which David Wilcock calls the Source Field, guides mankind''s destiny. David Wilcock has studied this intelligence for over thirty years and has come to understand that the Source Field is the key to unlocking the mysteries mankind have always struggled to answer: who are we, how did we get here and where are we going?Drawing upon alternative science, as well as cutting-edge quantum physics and consciousness research, Wilcock connects the scientific with lost traditions of ancient wisdom to predict what lies in mankind''s future.

Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things - Adam Grant
"This brilliant book will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and gift it to my younger self. It would've helped me find a more joyful path to progress."-Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles tennis championThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected heights.We live in a world that's obsessed with talent.We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become.We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn't knock, there are ways to build a door.Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space.He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess-it's about the character you develop.

The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you've reached, but how far you've climbed to get there.

Díky kontaktu s pozitivní vyšší inteligencí, která stojí za fenoménem UFO, převratným vědeckým informacím a údajům od vysoce postavených vládních informátorů David odhaluje, že Země se nyní nachází v první linii bitvy, která zuří mezi pozitivními a negativními mimozemšťany již statisíce let. Od autora New York Times bestselleru Procitnutí v nové realitě vychází kniha, která čtenáře zavede na překvapivou a strhující cestu dějinami vesmíru a prozkoumá velkou kosmickou bitvu obklopující náš vlastní vzestup.

Naděje pro blízkou budoucnost – nanebevstoupení.V prvním dílu knihy jsme se dozvěděli, jakými cestami se ubíral život a objevy badatele paranormálních jevů a významné duchovní postavy Davida Wilcocka, než sám navázal telepatický kontakt s mimozemskými andělskými bytostmi, který je předmětem druhého dílu knihy. Popsal mimo jiné svoji spolupráci s Richardem C. Hoaglandem, světoznámým výzkumníkem monumentů na povrchu Marsu a jeho zaniklé civilizace, jakož i souvislosti s civilizací starověkého Egypta a Atlantidy.Ve druhém díle autor nadále zkoumá knihu Cosmic Voyage dálkového pozorovatele Dr. Courtneyho Browna a v ní obsažené vhledy týkající se nadcházejícího vzestupu neboli nanebevstoupení. Porovnává je s informacemi z knižní série Zákona jednoty a všechny díly skládačky mu postupně zapadají do sebe. V tajemstvích Velké pyramidy a její časové osy je ukrytý klíč. Historické události zakódované v této kolosální stavbě se podivuhodně prolínají s osudy kosmických Strážců této planety, jak o tom vypovídají četná svědectví informátorů, bývalých členů amerických supertajných programů.Autor na základě těchto informací a díky vlastním telepatickým kontaktům s mimozemskou inteligencí dospívá k poznání, že současné dění, kdy je mnoho lidí zoufalých a nevěřícně přihlížejí, jak si zlo podmaňuje Zemi, bude mít velmi příznivé a duchovní rozuzlení v naší blízké budoucnosti.Úryvek z knihy„Už nemusíme žít ve strachu, bolesti, bídě a hrůze. Už se nemusíme cítit opuštění Bohem… Už nejsme ve vesmíru sami, uvízlí na malé modré planetě… Když se probouzíme ve snu, poznáváme konečnou pravdu: Je tu jen Jeden z nás. My jsme – vy jste – Stvořitel… A to znamená, že všichni ostatní… jsou si rovni… Můžeme se naučit vnímat sebe i druhé jako Jedno. A nakonec musíme meditovat o nejvyšší pravdě: Není já, není ani nikdo druhý. Neexistuje žádný čas. Není žádný prostor. Neexistuje žádná minulost ani budoucnost. Existuje pouze Vědomí. Je zde. Je teď. Je to každý a všude. Je to naše pravá identita – a přesně takhle se cítíme, když jsme skutečně inspirováni a naplněni láskou.

The Science of Superwomen - Mark Brake
Celebrate the rise of superwomen and discover the science behind the abilities of Wonder Woman, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Catwoman, and more! Superhero fiction has been with us for almost a century; high-octane tales crammed with concepts and contrasting themes, from superpowers and the post-human, to masked vigilantes and immortality. In that time, superwomen have evolved from comic book caricatures (created by men, for men) to stronger representations of female power.The Science of Superwomen looks at this evolution, from its hypersexualised origins to today’s more nuanced diversity. Focusing on characters from Star Wars and X-Men, as well as the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Captain Marvel, Harley Quinn, Wednesday Addams, Doctor Who, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Science of Superwomen explores the relationship between superhero film and fiction and the underlying science of our ever-evolving universe.

The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect (0141982411)
Kniha - autor Judea Pearl; Dana Mackenzie, 432 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

Einstein´s Fridge : The Science of Fire, Ice and the Universe - Sen Paul
Einstein's Fridge tells the story of how scientists uncovered the least known and yet most consequential of all the sciences, and learned to harness the power of heat and ice. The laws of thermodynamics govern everything from the behaviour of atoms to that of living cells, from the engines that power our world to the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Not only that, but thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how the lights come on, and ultimately how the universe will end. The people who decoded its laws came from every branch of the sciences - they were engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, cosmologists and mathematicians. Their discoveries, set over two hundred years, kick-started the industrial revolution, changed the course of world wars and informed modern understanding of black holes. This book captures the thrill of discovery and the power of revolutionary science to change the world forever.

But in the 1960s, with the vicious backlash against the counter-culture, all further research was banned.

The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel - Rainer Willmann, Julia Voss
Discover Ernst Haeckel, the 19th-century artist-biologist who found beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. This collection features 450 prints from his most important publications, including the majestic Kunstformen der Natur and his extensive catalogues of marine life. As biodiversity is ever-more threatened, these exquisite images are a scientific, artistic, and environmental masterwork. Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin’s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell. At the heart of Haeckel’s colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel’s entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel’s work, with a collection of 450 of his finest prints from several of his most important tomes, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life.

What if free will is an illusion? As Robert Sapolsky shows in this masterful account of the science of human behaviour, everything we think and do is caused by the luck of our biology and the influence of our environment, and ultimately both are beyond our control. In a world without free will, we must completely rethink what we mean by choice, responsibility, morality and justice.Sapolsky’s extraordinary book does exactly this, guiding us toward a profoundly fairer, more humane way of living together.
