#WorldSpaceWeek may be over, but that doesn't mean your curiosity about our galaxies has to end! 🌌🚀 Whether you're fascinated by the mysteries of black holes, the quest for extraterrestrial life, or the marvels of space exploration, there’s a whole universe waiting for you to explore—one page at a time. Here are some incredible books that fuel curiosity and expand our understanding of the cosmos: 💠Life As No One Knows It: The Physics of Life's Emergence by Sara Imari Walker - Physicist and astrobiologist Sara Imari Walker's latest book flips the script on what life really is. Forget DNA and cells—life, she argues, is all about the crazy complexity of information building itself up. Using physics, she unveils a mind-bending theory that life emerges wherever complexity hits a sweet spot of “assembly.” If you thought life was a neat package, get ready to rethink everything. 💠WHAT IF? 2 by Randall Munroe - Planning to ride a fire pole from the moon back to Earth? The hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to cool the atmosphere by opening everyone’s freezer door at the same time? Maybe it’s time for a brief introduction to thermodynamics. Munroe provides his best answers yet to the weirdest questions you never thought to ask. 💠We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson - PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson explore the biggest unknowns in the universe, why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions). 💠Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson - This witty, entertaining, and fully illustrated book is an essential troubleshooting guide for the perplexing aspects of reality, big and small, from the invisible particles that make up your body to the identical version of you currently reading this exact sentence in the corner of some other galaxy. If the universe came with an FAQ, this would be it. 💠The Universe in a Box: Simulations and the Quest to Code the Cosmos by Andrew Pontzen - Cosmology is a tricky science—no one can make their own stars, planets, or galaxies to test its theories. But over the last few decades a new kind of physics has emerged to fill the gap between theory and experimentation. The book reveals the surprising capabilities of simulations and the many ways they are already woven into our everyday lives. 💠White Holes by Carlo Rovelli Rovelli explains his new, cutting-edge theory of how black holes die and universes form, describing mindbending scientific ideas clearly and accessibly for non-experts. Guiding us beyond the horizon, he invites us to experience the fever and the disquiet of science—and the strange and startling life of a white hole. What’s your favorite space book?

“Our brains haven’t evolved to make the switches as quickly as we do today. It leaves us feeling exhausted,” says UCSB Technology Management professor Paul Leonardi in a conversation with Kara Alaimo for CNN.   In his new book, DIGITAL EXHAUSTION: Simple Rules for Reclaiming Your Life, Leonardi explains how the endless toggling between apps, tasks, and roles quietly drains our energy — and what we can do to reclaim it.   Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gwXvx9Kj   #DigitalExhaustion #FutureOfWork #WellbeingAtWork #Leadership #Productivity #Wellness

The Wounded Generation by legendary historian and bestselling author David Nasaw is available now.⁠ ⁠ In The Wounded Generation, Nasaw delves into post-World War II America, and all the unhealed trauma that lay beneath the jovial exterior. Veterans and their families suffered greatly after the war—veterans faced untreated PTSD; women were pressured to revert to their prewar status as housewives; the housing crisis coincided with doubled divorce rates; and Black veterans encountered undeniable racism from the GI Bill with consequences for years to come.⁠ ⁠ For all the accolades The Greatest Generation collected, perhaps they were also a wounded generation. On sale now. https://lnkd.in/e7Nmq-AB

🐑🖤 In BLACK SHEEP, Rachel Harrison explores the dark side of conviction: how righteousness can sometimes mask judgment, and how faith, when used to exclude rather than include, becomes something else entirely. It’s a powerful reminder that true strength of belief lies not in agreement, but in empathy—the ability to understand and care for those who see the world differently.
