One definition of “intelligence” is the capacity to cope: to function effectively in an environment of some kind—to meet its challenges and capitalize on its possibilities in order to get what we want, need, and deserve. By that definition, we Homo sapiens -“thinking humans” - may need to get a lot smarter as a species, and soon.For the first time in the history of our species, our environment is evolving faster than our brains.We might have fewer than fifty years left to get our act together, individually and collectively, to cope with the chaotic new environment we’ve created around ourselves.

teaches many beautiful styles of calligraphy, the Caroline manuscript
which most people are familiar with as well as my favorite, the

Although most people have some knowledge of the essential structure
of the Solar System, few are familiar with the large and varied array
of objects that travel with and between the planets in their journeys
around the Sun.
Imaging techniques from Earth continue to
improve, while missions such as Voyager, Galileo and the Hubble Space
Telescope have yielded many excellent images. Most significantly of
all, several missions in recent years have shown a huge diversity of
objects in close-up for the first time. The book will take advantage of
the rich pool of images that is available, to tell a story of the Solar
System that has not been told before.
Using
previously unpublished material from the National Archives, David
Thomas, David Carlton, and Anne Etienne provide a new perspective on
British cultural history. Statutory censorship was first introduced in
Britain by Sir Robert Walpole with his Licensing Act of 1737.
Previously theatre censorship was exercised under the Royal
Prerogative. By giving the Lord Chamberlain statutory powers of theatre
censorship, Walpole ensured that confusion over the relationship
between the Royal Prerogative and statute law would prevent any serious
challenge to theatre censorship in Parliament until the twentieth
century.
