  The first full history of the pioneering Special Forces units of World War II—dropped behind German lines into France to assist with the D-Day landings—told by a former U.S. Special Forces colonel with unique access to surviving veterans  
   
  The story of the Special Forces in World War II has never fully been told before. Information about them began to be declassified only in the 1980s. Known as the Jedburghs, these Special Forces were selected from members of the British, American, and Free French armies to be dropped in teams of three deep behind German lines. There, in preparation for D-Day, they carried out what we now know as unconventional warfare: supporting the French Resistance in guerrilla attacks, supply-route disruption, and the harassment and obstruction of German reinforcements. Always, they operated against extraordinary odds. They had to be prepared to survive pitched battles with German troops and Gestapo manhunts for weeks and months while awaiting the arrival of Allied ground forces. They were, in short, heroes.  
   
  The Jedburghs finally tells their story and offers a new perspective on D-Day itself. Will Irwin has selected seven of the Jedburgh teams and told their stories as gripping personal narratives. He has gathered archival documents, diaries, and correspondence, and interviewed Jed veterans and family members in order to present this portrait of their crucial role—-a role recognized by Churchill and Eisenhower—in the struggle to liberate Europe in 1944-45.  
   
  This is narrative history at its most compelling; a vivid drama of the battle for France from deep behind enemy lines.

  The universe is a vast and enigmatic expanse, filled with countless mysteries that have intrigued scientists and philosophers for centuries. One of the most profound discoveries of modern cosmology is that the universe is not only expanding but doing so at an accelerating rate. This revelation has reshaped our understanding of the cosmos and introduced the concept of dark energy as a dominant force driving this acceleration. 
    
  In this book, we embark on a journey through the history of cosmological thought, from the early observations that hinted at an expanding universe to the groundbreaking discoveries that revealed its acceleration. We will explore the role of the cosmological constant, a term introduced by Einstein in his equations of General Relativity, which has come to be associated with dark energy. 
    
  We begin with a foundational understanding of the universe's expansion, delving into the Big Bang theory and the key observations that support it. From there, we examine the pivotal role of the cosmological constant and its implications for the structure and fate of the universe. 
    
  As we navigate through the complexities of dark energy and its various theoretical models, we will also address the challenges and alternative theories that scientists are exploring to explain this cosmic acceleration. Finally, we will consider the future of cosmological research, highlighting the ongoing quests to unravel the mysteries that still elude us.

  The Science Delusion - Asking...

  One of our most brilliant social critics-- author of the bestselling The Middle Mind-- presents a scathing critique of the " delusions" of science alongside a rousing defense of the tradition of Romanticism and the " big" questions. With the rise of religion critics such as Richard Dawkins, and of pseudo-science advocates such as Malcolm Gladwell and Jonah Lehrer, you' re likely to become a subject of ridicule if you wonder " Why is there something instead of nothing?" or " What is our purpose on earth?" Instead, at universities around the world, and in the general cultural milieu, we' re all being taught that science can resolve all questions without the help of philosophy, politics, or the humanities. In short, the rich philosophical debates of the 19th century have been nearly totally abandoned, argues critic Curtis White. An atheist himself, White nonetheless calls this new turn " scientism"-- and fears what it will do to our culture if allowed to flourish without challenge. In fact, in " scientism" White sees a new religion with many unexamined assumptions. In this brilliant multi-part critique, he aims at a TED talk by a distinguished neuroscientist in which we are told that human thought is merely the product of our " connectome," a map of neural connections in the brain that is yet to be fully understood. . . . He whips a widely respected physicist who argues that our new understanding of the origins of the universe obviates any philosophical inquiry . . . and ends with a learned defense of the tradition of Romanticism, which White believes our technology and science-obsessed world desperately needs to rediscover. It' s the only way, he argues, that we can see our world clearly. . . and change it.

  Genesis - The Deep Origin of...

  Asserting that religious creeds and philosophical questions can be reduced to purely genetic and evolutionary components, and that the human body and mind have a physical base obedient to the laws of physics and chemistry, Genesis demonstrates that the only way for us to fully understand human behavior is to study the evolutionary histories of nonhuman species. Of these, Wilson demonstrates that at least seventeen?among them the African naked mole rat and the sponge- dwelling shrimp?have been found to have advanced societies based on altruism and cooperation. Whether writing about midges who "dance about like acrobats" or schools of anchovies who protectively huddle "to appear like a gigantic fish," or proposing that human society owes a debt of gratitude to "postmenopausal grandmothers" and "childless homosexuals," Genesis is a pithy yet path-breaking work of evolutionary theory, braiding twenty-first-century scientific theory with the lyrical biological and humanistic observations for which Wilson is known.
