"I knew it was a book I needed to read" - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD. "His book explains complex scientific theory in a graspable way" - LILY ASHLEY. "This book is an important contribution... discussions of David Bohm, bioplasma, biophotons, and bioelectronics" - PROFESSOR ZBIGNIEW WOLKOWSKI, Sorbonne University, Paris. This work answers numerous scientific and esoteric questions about our reality, promising to revolutionize our understanding. It delves into the science of plasma, a fourth state of matter that underpins the other three: gas, liquid, and solid. Despite its significance, plasma has remained largely overlooked in popular science narratives, which have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. Over 99% of the universe is composed of plasma, including two recently discovered Kordylewski Clouds between Earth and the Moon. The book reveals that plasma can exhibit characteristics resembling intelligence, potentially reshaping our search for extraterrestrial life. Bestselling author Robert Temple, who has studied plasma for decades and collaborated with leading scientists, including Nobel laureates, brings this fascinating subject to light. His insights may change how we perceive the universe and our place within it, igniting new discussions and explorations in science.

This collection features 203 of Aesop’s most enduring and popular fables, translated into modern English and illustrated with classic woodcuts by the renowned artist J. J. Grandville. Aesop, a Greek slave who lived over two thousand years ago, has left an indelible mark on language and moral education. Phrases like “sour grapes,” “crying ‘wolf,’” and “actions speak louder than words” are just a few examples of the metaphors and ideas that have become integral to Western culture, all originating from Aesop’s Fables. As an extraordinary storyteller, Aesop used cunning foxes, surly dogs, clever mice, fearsome lions, and foolish humans to depict the realities of a harsh world. His narratives are appealing, humorous, politically astute, and profoundly true. The morals of his stories continue to resonate, affecting us both intellectually and emotionally. This collection includes beloved fables such as “The Fox and the Grapes,” “The Ants and the Grasshopper,” and “The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse,” among many others.

Composed by a slave in Greek antiquity, some of the most ancient, sharp-witted and mysterious stories ever told.
