Content: " In the summer of 2022, Lee Berger lost 50 pounds in order to wriggle though impossibly small openings in the Rising Star cave complex in South Africa—spaces where his team has been unearthing the remains of Homo naledi, a proto-human likely to have coexisted with Homo sapiens some 250,000 years ago. The lead researcher on the site, still Berger had never made his way into the dark, cramped, dangerous underground spaces where many of the naledi fossils had been found. Now he was ready to do so. Once inside the cave, Berger made shocking new discoveries that expand our understanding of this early hominid—discoveries that stand to alter our fundamental understanding of what makes us human. So what does it all mean? Join Berger on the adventure of a lifetime as he explores the Rising Star cave system and begins the complicated process of explaining these extraordinary finds—finds that force a rethinking of human evolution, and discoveries that Berger calls the Rosetta stone of the human mind.

Content: Biographisches: "Abra Berens is a Michigan chef, author, and former farmer. Through every recipe written and meal served, she aims to tighten the connection between eaters and growers. She believes we can invest in a stronger, more equitable food system for everyone, from producers to grocers to consumers. Her cookbook Ruffage: A Practice Guide to Vegetables was a 2019 Michigan Notable Book winner and James Beard Award nominee. Her dinners at Granor Farm in Three Oaks, Michigan, made her a James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Chef: Great Lakes." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from August 16, 2021 In this highly informative work, chef Berens ( Ruffage ) showcases the potential of cooking with grains and legumes. “The perception of whole grains seems to still be of leaden health food, endless cooking times, and cud-like chewing,” writes Berens. She debunks this misconception with more than 140 recipes that celebrate the “underappreciated staples... in their unprocessed (and often savory) state.” After guiding readers through “some things to know”—including how to mitigate “swings in gas”—she begins with a chapter of condiments, featuring vinaigrettes, pickles, and sauces such as lemon tahini or garam masala yogurt. In a hearty section on legumes, the bean family is outlined alongside helpful grids and flavor formulas that show cooks how to build versatile and vibrant dishes such as stewed Cannellini beans with saffron sofrito, or how to enjoy “a week’s worth of black beans without any boredom.” Grains get their due in a number of imaginative recipes, including gnocchi made from oats, barley doughnuts, and stewed frekkeh (a cracked wheat similar to bulgur). Woven throughout are essays and farmer interviews that present a strong case for increasing the role of grains and legumes in the global food system. The result is a definitive guide rich with flavor and inspiration. Agent: Kari Stuart, ICM Partners. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 1, 2021 Berens has received James Beard award nominations for both her work as a chef at Michigan restaurant Granor Farm and for her 2019 cookbook Ruffage . Her latest employs a similar format and ethos to explore 29 grains, seeds, and legumes from around the world (among them, amaranth, fonio, quinoa, and cowpeas). Recipes are organized into three categories (grains, seeds, legumes), then by preparation method (boiling, pan-frying, milling, sprouting), and Berens shares dozens of tips for choosing, storing, and cooking these staples. Her more than 140 savory and sweet recipes elevate shelf-stable ingredients by adding fresh flavors, in dishes like accara (West African black-eyed pea fritters), corn porridge with mushroom cream, horchata, and barley doughnuts with marigold syrup, plus salads, soups, risottos, vegetable medleys, and breads. Each recipe features several variations, often driven by seasonal ingredients,there are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, and where meat is featured in a recipe it can easily be omitted. VERDICT Berens demystifies grains, seeds, and legumes with her suggestions. An essential guide for home chefs looking to cook more than white rice and canned beans. --Kelsy Peterson, Brighton Grammar Sch., Melbourne, AustraliaCopyright 2021 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Chef and author Berens takes a more realistic approach, advocating for a plant-based diet in which grains, beans, seeds, and legumes play a large part, but need not completely replace animal-based proteins. She also does not ignore the complexities faced by anyone cooking and eating in the fraught and inequitable contemporary world. Berens encourages readers to start with ingredients they're excited about and demonstrates her own enthusiasm with a guide that includes the specifics of working with this wide array of ingredients and a collection of recipes for each. The ingredient count for most of the recipes is realistic and manageable. Interspersed features highlight working farmers and their areas of specialty, serving to illustrate issues that inform Berens' ethics and worldview. Readers looking for ways to approach what they eat more thoughtfully will find plenty of grist here. COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. "

Content: " The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX8212 and Elon Musk8212 from a shaky startup into the world's leading edge rocket company. In 2006, SpaceX8212 a brand-new venture with fewer than 200 employees8212 rolled its first, single-engine rocket onto a launch pad at Kwajalein Atoll. After a groundbreaking launch from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Falcon 1 rocket designed by Elon Musk's engineers rose in the air for approximately thirty seconds. Then, its engine flamed out, and the rocket crashed back into the ocean. In 2007, SpaceX undertook a second launch. This time, the rocket rose far into space, but just before reaching orbit it spun out of control. Confident of success in 2008, Musk and his team launched their third rocket with several paying customers. The first stage executed perfectly, but instead of falling away, it thudded into the second stage. Another failure. Elon Musk had only budgeted for three attempts when he founded SpaceX. Out of money and with a single Falcon 1 rocket left in its factory, SpaceX decided to try one last, dramatic launch. Over eight weeks, engineers worked furiously to prepare this final rocket. The fate of Musk's venture mirrored the trajectory of this slender, single-engine rocket aimed toward the skies. If it crashed and burned, so would SpaceX. In September 2008, SpaceX's last chance for success lifted off . and accelerated like a dream, soaring into orbit flawlessly. That success would launch a miraculous decade for the company, in which SpaceX grew from building a single-engine rocket to one with a staggering 27 engines,created two different spacecraft, and mastered reusable-rocket descents using mobile drone ships on the open seas. It marked a level of production and achievement that has not been seen since the space race of the 1960s. But these achievements would not have been possible without SpaceX's first four flight tests. Drawing on unparalleled access and exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current employees8212 engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk8212 Eric Berger tells the complete story of this foundational generation that transformed SpaceX into the world's leading space company. "

Content: Biographisches: "Eric Berger is a reporter and editor based in Houston. After a long career in the Houston Chronicle , he joined Ars Technica in 2015 as the site's senior space editor, covering SpaceX, NASA, and everything beyond. He was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his coverage of Hurricane Ike in the Houston Chronicle in 2008." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: January 1, 2021 In this page-turner, award-winning journalist Berger explores the critical early days of SpaceX, the rocket manufacturing company founded by Elon Musk. The story begins in late 2000 when Musk, inspired by a conversation about space travel, researched NASA's website to see how far the agency had progressed regarding a human mission to Mars. When he discovered that NASA had no plans to do so, Musk decided to start his own company, SpaceX, with the bold idea of building spaceships to send people to Mars. Musk began to assemble a team of brilliant minds and creative engineers, including Tom Mueller, Anne Chinnery, Hans Koenigsmann, and Gwynne Shotwell. Berger examines the background of each of the team members and the circumstances that led them to join SpaceX. They would face numerous challenges: launch failures and liquid oxygen issues,excessive travel and long days and nights,and relentless pressure from Musk. Despite these challenges, they accomplished remarkable things, which culminated in the launch of the Falcon 1 rocket on its fourth attempt on September 28, 2008--the first ever privately funded rocket to go into orbit. VERDICT An extraordinary story of compelling narrative nonfiction that is recommended for those interested in space travel or for anyone looking for an exciting read. --Dave Pugl, Ela Area P.L., Lake Zurich, ILCopyright 2021 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from February 1, 2021 An up-close account of the otherworldly trajectory of tech magnate Elon Musk. Ars Technica editor Berger opens with a telling scene set in South Texas in late September 2019, when Musk visited a factory building a rocket that one day will be bound for Mars. Sending that ship--and people--to the red planet is of a parcel with Musk's pioneering work in remaking the global aerospace industry, which includes privatizing efforts that had long belonged to government agencies such as NASA--which, though funded to the tune of some $25 billion per year, still remains several giant leaps away from sending a few astronauts to Mars. Getting the SpaceX rocket safely to distant Mars may not work, Musk confessed before adding, But it probably will. By Berger's swiftly moving account, it will, not just because Musk is an endlessly driven, intensely focused sort who could use a little more fun in life--at one point, Musk ruefully allows that it wouldn't have hurt to have just one cocktail on the damn beach of a distant Pacific atoll used in test flights--but also because Musk is surrounded by brilliant scientists recruited from academia and industry who are thoroughly invested in the project's success. They want that golden ticket for the world's greatest thrill ride, Berger writes, evoking another obsessed genius, Willie Wonka. Musk now leads not just SpaceX, but also the Tesla electric automobile company as well as a neural technology company and a firm devoted to digging new transportation tunnels below overcrowded cities. Even so, he remains closely attentive to matters that aviation engineers have often overlooked, such as recycling rocket stages: If an airline discarded a 747 jet after every transcontinental flight, writes the author, passengers would have to pay $1 million for a ticket. Readers interested in business and entrepreneurship, as well as outer space, will find Berger's book irresistible. COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Berger, senior space editor at Ars Technica, was granted unprecedented access to interview Musk, as well as current and former employees of SpaceX, and here shares first-hand accounts of their experiences. The main focus isn't Musk himself, but the engineers, technicians, vice presidents, and lieutenants: passionate and driven people bold enough to take on Musk's ambitious vision. Berger shares how they came to work for Musk, their experiences of toil and sweat, uncertainty and victory. There's very little technical detail in this book,instead, it's a story about people and their faith in one man's compelling mission. What stands out most is the author's command of pacing. He depicts race-against-the-clock crises as fast-paced as a thriller, with moments reminiscent of Apollo 13 or The Martian (albeit with slightly lower stakes). An exciting and insightful read for anyone interested in the story behind the early days of SpaceX. COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. "

Somebody had slit open the back of their tent and snatched her from under their noses. None of them saw or heard anything. Susie Jaeger had vanished into thin air, plucked by a shadow. The largest manhunt in Montana&rsquo, history ensued, led by the FBI. As days stretched into weeks, and weeks into months, Special Agent Pete Dunbar attended a workshop at FBI Headquarters in Quantico, Virgina, led by two agents who had hatched a radical new idea: What if criminals left a psychological trail that would lead us to them? Patrick Mullany, a trained psychologist, and Howard Teten, a veteran criminologist, had created the Behavioral Science Unit to explore this new voodoo they called &ldquo,riminal profiling.&rdquo,br〉 At Dunbar&rsquo, request, Mullany and Teten built the FBI&rsquo, first profile of an unknown subject: the UnSub who had snatched Susie Jaeger and, a few months later, a nineteen-year-old waitress.

After the largest manhunt in Montana history was unsuccessful, Pete Dunbar, the FBI special agent leading the investigation, contacted the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico for assistance. Psychologist Patrick Mullany and criminologist Howard Taten were teaching a course in psychological profiling and predicted that the killer was a white male and a former military veteran, and they offered other specific characteristics as well. Fifteen months later, David Meirhofer, a former suspect who had passed numerous lie detector tests, was arrested and convicted of killing Jaeger and three other people.

In the summer of 1973, six-year-old Susie Jaeger was taken from her tent at a family campsite in a Montana state park. Nine months later, FBI special agent Pete Dunbar and his team discovered human remains near the park of a missing young woman and a small girl. Dunbar went to Quantico to ask two agents who taught a course in profiling to create a profile of the unknown suspect in the Jaeger case. Using clues from the crime scene and the investigation, they predicted he would be a white male, a military veteran, a loner—and that Susie wasn’t his first kill. One suspect who fit the bill was David Meirhofer, known as an “oddball,” but he passed three lie detector tests, and it wasn’t until body parts were found in his freezer that he confessed to four kidnapping and killings, including Susie’s. The profile also predicted he could be suicidal. In September of 1974, Meirhofer died by suicide while in jail. Franscell’s portrait of rural Montana will remind many of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood , and the way he weaves together the threads of the different killings is spellbinding. This is a must for Mindhunter fans. Agent: Linda Konner, Linda Konner Literary. "

Content: " From the author of New York Times bestsellers Contagious and Invisible Influence comes a revolutionary approach to changing anyone's mind. Everyone has something they want to change. Marketers want to change their customers' minds and leaders want to change organisations. Start-ups want to change industries and nonprofits want to change the world. But change is hard. Often, we persuade and pressure and push, but nothing moves. Could there be a better way? This book takes a different approach. Successful change agents know it's not about pushing harder, or providing more information, it's about being a catalyst. Catalysts remove roadblocks and reduce the barriers to change. Instead of asking, How could I change someone's mind? they ask a different question: Why haven't they changed already? What's stopping them? The Catalyst identifies the key barriers to change and how to mitigate them. You'll learn how catalysts change minds in the toughest of situations: how hostage negotiators get people to come out with their hands up and how marketers get new products to catch on, how leaders transform organisational culture and how activists ignite social movements, how substance abuse counselors get addicts to realise they have a problem and how political campaigners change deeply rooted political beliefs. This book is designed for anyone who wants to catalyse change. It provides a powerful way of thinking and a range of techniques that can lead to extraordinary results.
