  Wyl Menmuir’s The Draw of the Sea is a beautifully written and deeply moving portrait of the Cornish Coast and the people who make their livings there, examining the ephemeral but universal pull the sea holds over the human imagination.‘A beautiful portrait of lives shaped by the swell of ocean and tide - a powerful salt-thread of connection’ -  Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path Since the earliest stages of human development, the sea has fascinated and entranced us. It feeds us, sustaining communities and providing livelihoods, but it also holds immense destructive power which can take all those away in an instant.   It connects us to far away places, offering the promise of new lands and voyages of discovery, but also shapes our borders, carving divisions between landmasses and eroding the very ground beneath our feet. In this beautifully-written meditation on what it is that draws us to the waters' edge, author Wyl Menmuir tells the stories of the people whose lives revolve around the sea in the Cornish community where he lives. In twelve interlinked chapters, Menmuir explores the lives of local fishermen steeped in the rich traditions of a fishing community, the beachcombers who wander the shores in search of the varied objects which wash ashore and the stories they tell, and all number of others who have made their lives on the beautiful Cornwall coast.  In the specifics of these livelihoods and their rich histories and traditions, Wyl Menmuir captures the universal human connection to the sea. Into this seductive tapestry, Wyl weaves the story of how the sea has beckoned, consoled and restored him. This book is a meaningful and moving work into how we interact with the environment around us, and how it comes to shape the course of our lives. As unmissable as it is compelling, as profound as it is personal, this must-read book will delight anyone familiar with the intimate and powerful pull which the sea holds over us.

  Dark Space Unveiled - A Journey...

  The universe, as we know it, is far from what we can fully observe with our eyes. Much of its true nature is hidden in a vast expanse called Dark Space. The origin of this mysterious realm is tied to the very beginning of the cosmos itself. To understand Dark Space, we must first explore the birth of the universe. Around 13.8 billion years ago, the Big Bang marked the start of everything. It was a massive explosion that created space, time, and all the matter in the universe. In the initial moments of this event, the universe expanded at an incomprehensibly rapid rate, stretching from a point of infinite density to the vast expanse we see today. But the observable universe is only a small fraction of what exists, and what lies beyond is far more perplexing. 
  The universe, since its inception, has expanded, and during this expansion, a significant portion of its matter remained hidden from our detection methods. This invisible matter became known as Dark Matter. While we cannot see it, its presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter. Galaxies rotate in such a way that their outer stars should be flying off into space, but they do not. Instead, they remain bound together. Dark Matter is believed to be the unseen force holding galaxies together, influencing their structure and movement. However, this invisible substance isn't the only mystery lurking in the vastness of space. A far more enigmatic force was discovered in the late 20th century, known as Dark Energy. This force appears to be driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. Unlike Dark Matter, Dark Energy is not something we can detect through its gravitational pull, but its effects are unmistakable. The universe’s rate of expansion is speeding up, not slowing down as was once expected, and Dark Energy is thought to be the driving force behind this strange phenomenon.

  Forgiving Humanity - How the...

  Peter Russell

  Why has the most innovative of species become so dangerous? The answer, suggests Peter Russell, lies in humanity’s accelerating pace of development. He shows how innovation breeds further innovation—a positive feedback loop leading to exponential rates of change. But our minds cannot grasp the full implications of exponential growth. We think more in terms of linear change, leading to a blind spot on the future.  
  However fast the pace of change may be today, it will be even faster in the years to come, bringing ever more rapid scientific and technological advances. But ever-accelerating change also creates stress on the systems involved. The faster the change, the greater the stress, and the more likely systemic breakdown. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams. 
  Russell argues there is no blame for this. Spiraling rates of development, with all their consequences, positive and negative, are the inevitable fate of any intelligent, technologically-empowered species.  
  How do we live with such unsettling conclusions? How can we prepare for a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable? What does it mean for the future of humanity? 
  Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology —as well as a masters degree in computer science —at the University of Cambridge. He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s. His other books include The TM Technique, The Upanishads, Waking Up in Time, From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.
