In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, author Nick Lane brings together the latest research findings in the exciting field of mitochondria research to reveal how our growing understanding of mitochondria is shedding light on how complex life evolved, why sex arose (why don't we just bud?), and why we age and die. This understanding is of fundamental importance, both in understanding how we and all other complex life came to be, but also in order to be able to control our own illnesses, and delay our degeneration and death. 

Power lifts the mood. It motivates us to take charge and liberates us to be our authentic selves. It means wealth, ability, choice, fame, influence, dominance, authority, rank, and prestige. Powerlessness depresses the mood. It stifles the self by making it subservient to other people’s wills. It is at the core of many social ills - from poverty to anxiety, workplace problems to marital discord. The lack of power can damage our health - both mental and physical - and even shorten our lives.

In this follow-up to his best-selling The 80/20 Principle, the power law that helped hundreds of thousands achieve more by doing less, Richard Koch puts science to work, applying 92 other natural laws to promote the "science of success" within the ever-changing world of business. What does Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection prove about developing a niche product line? How can Isaac Newton's laws of motion and gravity help in a crowded marketplace?

The American public's introduction to nuclear technology was manifested in destruction and death. With Hiroshima and the Cold War still ringing in our ears, our perception of all things nuclear is seen through the lens of weapons development. Nuclear power is full of mind-bending theories, deep secrets, and the misdirection of public consciousness - some deliberate, some accidental. The result of this fixation on bombs and fallout is that the development of a non-polluting, renewable energy source stands frozen in time.

This book offers a grounded, honest look at how the principles of quantum physics resonate with the workings of the human mind — not through hype, but through clarity. You won’t find exaggerated promises or vague metaphors here. Instead, you’ll find a precise, thought-provoking approach to consciousness, inner transformation, and the deeper mechanics of experience.

Second edition. Published 17th May 2026. Join over 3000 readers... You've been waiting for permission. Permission to build that prototype yourself instead of adding it to the backlog. Permission to automate the workflow everyone complains about but nobody fixes. Permission to stop being the person with ideas who needs someone else to make them real. You don't need it. I spent years watching capable professionals - product managers, analysts, designers - sit helplessly while their ideas gathered dust in Jira tickets. They understood software perfectly well. They just couldn't write it. The ...
