They came damaged and without weapons. That was the whole message. Forty-five years into the mission, Captain Mira Voss is conducting a routine survey near the warring systems when the long-range array picks up something it has been dreading and expecting in equal measure — an FTL signature.

The Watchers are dying. They are asking humanity to remember their children. Forty-four years into the mission, Captain Mira Voss is woken at 0300 by a proximity alert. A single Watcher vessel — small, ancient, its surface mathematics flickering like a dying fire — has found the Aether specifically. What follows is the closest thing to a real conversation humanity has ever had with the beings who watched them for a million years. Imperfect. Fragmentary. Clear enough. The Watcher adults are ending. Their species lays eggs and dies — the adults becoming the shells, the eggs taking a ...

They came to plant roots. They stayed to answer a call from the dark. Thirty-eight years into humanity's greatest journey, Captain Mira Voss brings the generation ship Aether back to Eden's Hope for the moment the mission was always building toward — the great settling. Two full pods of families. The elders who have earned their rest. The teenagers who were born in space and are choosing the ground for the first time. The people who gave everything to the mission, finally given something to stand on. But as the last shuttles descend and the Aether prepares to continue its voyage with a ...

Thirty years into humanity's greatest journey, Commander Mira Voss has led the generation ship Aether through asteroid fields, alien worlds, and the long silences between stars. She has seen her crew grow up, grow old, and build something remarkable in the dark. She thought she understood the shape of the mission. She was wrong. When communications officer Lira Sol finally cracks the hidden layer buried inside a mysterious data burst from Eden's Hope — a compressed mathematical proof, base-twelve, older than any human ...

In the Atlantic Ocean, hurricane Helena is gathering strength, becoming the most powerful storm in recorded history.

For Donovan Nash, the routine mission turns deadly when an attempt is made on the life of the lead scientist.

Race is one of the most elusive phenomena of social life. While we generally know it when we see it, it's not an easy concept to define. Social science literature has argued that race is a Western concept that emerged with the birth of modern imperialism, whether in the 16th century or the 18th century. This book points out that there is a disjuncture between the way race is conceptualized in the social sciences and in recent natural science literature. In the view of some proponents of natural-scientific perspectives, race has a biological - and not just a purely social-dimension. 

The object of Metaphysics, being qua being (Aristotle: to on he on), can be understood in four ways: As the most universal properties and principles that refer to all beings whatsoever such as the ontological principle of contradiction: it is absolutely impossible that both two contradictory states of affairs can obtain (timelessly or at the same time). This principle cannot be reduced to a mere law of human thinking but applies to any appearance and thing in itself, in the real and in any possible world. Nor can the ontological principle of contradiction be reduced to the logical principle...

In 1973, Martin Cooper invented the cell phone. How? He started with a problem (the Chicago police needed an alternative to bulky two-way radios). He synchronized the magic triangle (product, company, and category design). He executed a lightning strike (a publicized call to his top competitor). And he won the category.
