Grounded in a deep understanding of science and cultural history, Walter masterfully tells the story of how Homo sapiens moved from one challenge to the next with the best of intentions while not comprehending the consequences. Some might find this a more readable companion text to Harari's Sapiens.

At the end of Caveat Fuzzy, it appeared that things had settled down on Zarathustra since the slavers' reign of terror at the Fuzzy Reservation was brought to a halt. But it is only the calm before the storm. Suddenly, Fuzzies are disappearing from the Reservation, while people are spacing in from all over the Terran Federation to the colony planet of Zarathustra. The question is why? Hundreds of spaceships, from luxurious yachts to rusty freighters, are orbiting Mallorysport and flooding the spaceport with visitors. And they only want one thing: their very own Fuzzy! Fuzzies are the cutest, cuddliest and most intelligent pet in all of known space. Now, on top of that, owning one has become the ultimate status symbol. Jack Holloway is at his wits' end. Even if he wanted to, there's no way he, or anyone else, could allow this swarm of tourists to each have their very own Fuzzy. There just aren't enough of the little critters to go around; plus, the free Fuzzies living on north Beta continent don't want a thing to do with the Big Bad Ones. However, there are a number of low-life characters who are attempting to abduct as many Fuzzies as they can for transport to Terra. Moreover, there is a new danger to Fuzzies that travel off-world: Jack and company had better figure it out before they unwittingly drive the Fuzzies to extinction!

A pro-gay, pro-science look at a vexing issue … evolutionary biology suggests that individual living things are designed to reproduce. So why does homosexuality exist? Wouldn’t a gay gene ensure its own demise? Conundrum pulls together information from biology, anthropology, and recent lesbian and gay history, and suggests that both nature and nurture are involved in the evolution of homosexuality.

Interrogating Human Origins encourages new critical engagements with the study of human origins, broadening the range of approaches to bring in postcolonial theories, and begin to explore the decolonisation of this complex topic. The collection of chapters presented in this volume creates spaces for expansion of critical and unexpected conversations about human origins research. Authors from a variety of disciplines and research backgrounds, many of whom have strayed beyond their usual disciplinary boundaries to offer their unique perspectives, all circle around the big questions of what it means to be and become human. Embracing and encouraging diversity is a recognition of the deep complexities of human existence in the past and the present, and it is vital to critical scholarship on this topic. This book constitutes a starting point for increased interrogation of the important and wide-ranging field of research into human origins. It will be of interest to scholars across multiple disciplines, and particularly to those seeking to understand our ancient past through a more diverse lens.

The novel is set in the environment of a NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (NIT) in Surat. There are 20 NITs in India with one in each state. They are under the special act of parliament (the NIT act) and are the most sought after among the bright engineering aspirants after the IITs. Each and every NIT has a very special environment of regionalism, frustration and happiness. It provides a platform to interact and blend with people from all around the country and abroad as there are state specific seats in each institute. Students apart from engineering learn the art of living, the problems in various cultures and sections of the country and surviving in the worst intra college political and social environments. The youth of the country are becoming more and more selfish and are giving themselves in the hands of MNCs or MBAs and all the money government spends in educating the students in the centre sponsored universities goes down the drain if the educated lot does not contribute in the socio-economic and research fields in the country. Here's a story of how a group of friends, after facing problems in their personal lives, take up a challenging career leaving behind the hefty packages they get in IT companies in the campus placements. And its not over with that, read on to know what happens with them.

GEO SOCIO is designed as reference to global event and presents a new area of study. To cross reference (what is known as) a time and space would include daily media reporting from (the four) natural selection together with seismic, atmospheric, solar (etc.) data sources to compile a conclusion to a specific geo-politico event (in-line with reference.) Thus, such event may advance upon a specific path, to symbiotic relation for example. Enjoy, there is no right or wrong conclusion to be made; if researched correctly, each instance may span a thousand years in itself! 10/23/19 GEO SOCIO is designed as reference to global event & presents a new area of study; is complex and so understood across all age ranges and all viewpoints; when researched with internet, a path will become clear with readership objectively evolving along such path. Simply choose a day and research it on as many levels of existence as is possible; to cross-reference (what is known as) a time and space would include daily reporting from (the four) natural selection together with seismic, atmospheric, solar (etc.) data sources to compile a conclusion to a specific geo-politico/natural event (in-line with reference.)

In Bozo Sapiens, they take us on a another funhouse journey, exploring the surprising, or alarming, number of ways that humans can make bad judgments and poor decisions. The Kaplans' ability to explain everything from statistics to evolutionary biology in witty, accessible, and anecdotal style will endear this book to readers of Blink, Freakonomics, and other recent pop-social science successes.

Henri, a young travel photographer with a big identity problem plays the sorcerer's apprentice to Conundrum, a fiendishly clever wordsmith and rogue magus promising ultimate knowledge of a dangerous sort. Their quest takes them on a journey of high adventure from Wales and London via Catalonia, Rome, Berlin, Moscow, Switzerland, Paris, Japan and Madeira to a dramatic finale on the rugged cliffs at the western extremity of the Algarve. But the secret lurking at the end of Southend Pier might after all be the key to the Holy Grail that is the dark mystery of Conundrum's Book. Or does the answer lie in the crazy jumble of Conundrum's seedy flat at 7 Moonbeam Mansions? A unique blend of unpredictable action, philosophical fireworks, outrageous behaviour, metaphysical speculation and some adult material of a rather unusual nature keeps the reader hooked right to the end.
