A story of defiance and determination by a controversial scientist, this is Lee Berger's own take on finding \u003ci\u003eHomo naledi\u003c\/i\u003e, an all-new species on the human family tree and one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2013, Berger, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, caught wind of a cache of bones in a hard-to-reach underground cave in South Africa. He put out a call around the world for petite collaborators—men and women small and adventurous enough to be able to squeeze through 8-inch tunnels to reach a sunless cave 40 feet underground. With this team of \"underground astronauts,\" Berger made the discovery of a lifetime: hundreds of prehistoric bones, including entire skeletons of at least 15 individuals, all perhaps two million years old. Their features combined those of known prehominids like Lucy, the famous \u003ci\u003eAustralopithecus\u003c\/i\u003e, with those more human than anything ever before seen in prehistoric remains. Berger's team had discovered an all new species, and they called it \u003ci\u003eHomo naledi\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cave quickly proved to be the richest primitive hominid site ever discovered, full of implications that shake the very foundation of how we define what makes us human. Did this species come before, during, or after the emergence of \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens\u003c\/i\u003e on our evolutionary tree? How did the cave come to contain nothing but the remains of these individuals? Did they bury their dead? If so, they must have had a level of self-knowledge, including an awareness of death. And yet those are the very characteristics used to define what makes us human. Did an equally advanced species inhabit Earth with us, or before us? Berger does not hesitate to address all these questions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBerger is a charming and controversial figure, and some colleagues question his interpretation of this and other finds. But in these pages, this charismatic and visionary paleontologist counters their arguments and tells his personal story: a rich and readable narrative about science, exploration, and what it means to be human.","brand":"National Geographic","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":36703769395361,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781426218118","price":166.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/AlmostHumanTheAstonishingTaleofHomonaledi_Hardback.webp?v=1761004651"},{"product_id":"how-psychology-works-hardback","title":"How Psychology Works","description":"By: DK   | Series: DK How Stuff Works \u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow far would you go to obey orders?

Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a reaction to indigenous critiques of European society, and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful possibilities than we tend to assume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Dawn of Everything\u003c\/i\u003e fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society.

Customers responded to the locally sourced organic ingredients, to the dishes made by hand, and to the welcoming hospitality that infused the small space—human qualities that were disappearing from a country increasingly seduced by takeout, frozen dinners, and prepackaged ingredients. Waters came to see that the phenomenon of fast food culture, which prioritized cheapness, availability, and speed, was not only ruining our health, but also dehumanizing the ways we live and relate to one another.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOver years of working with regional farmers, Waters and her partners learned how geography and seasonal fluctuations affect the ingredients on the menu, as well as about the dangers of pesticides, the plight of fieldworkers, and the social, economic, and environmental threats posed by industrial farming and food distribution. So many of the serious problems we face in the world today—from illness, to social unrest, to economic disparity, and environmental degradation—are all, at their core, connected to food. Fortunately, there is an antidote. Waters argues that by eating in a “slow food way,” each of us—like the community around her restaurant—can be empowered to prioritize and nurture a different kind of culture, one that champions values such as biodiversity, seasonality, stewardship, and pleasure in work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis is a declaration of action against fast food values, and a working theory about what we can do to change the course. As Waters makes clear, every decision we make about what we put in our mouths affects not only our bodies but also the world at large—our families, our communities, and our environment. We have the power to choose what we eat, and we have the potential for individual and global transformation—simply by shifting our relationship to food. All it takes is a taste. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group : Penguin Books \/ Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44175174369507,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780525561552","price":118.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780525561552.jpg?v=1734840739"},{"product_id":"the-golden-bough-9780140189315","title":"The Golden Bough","description":"By: James Frazer   | Series: Penguin Modern Classics \u003chr\u003eSir James George Frazer (1854-1941) caught the popular imagination with his vast and enterprising comparative study of the beliefs and institutions of mankind, which in its third edition numbered 12 volumes.

In \u003ci\u003eCaste\u003c\/i\u003e, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson provides a profound, eye-opening portrait of this hidden phenomenon. This is the story of how our world was shaped by caste, and how its rigid, arbitrary hierarchies still divide us today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people--including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball's Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others--she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways we can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Required reading for all of humanity' Oprah Winfrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"If you haven't read it yet, you absolutely must.\" - Edward Enninful, \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'An instant American classic' Dwight Garner, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group : Random House \/ Random House Trade Paperbacks \/ Penguin","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":44179408093411,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780593230251","price":218.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44411861237987,"sku":"DTRPRUK-9780141995465","price":139.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780593230275_e27d0c72-b852-4e88-8853-ca941702a5f2.jpg?v=1734847040"},{"product_id":"rikers-9780593134214","title":"Rikers","description":"By: Graham Rayman, Reuven Blau     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eEDITORS’ CHOICE • A shocking, groundbreaking oral history of the infamous Rikers jail complex and an unflinching portrait of injustice and resilience told by the people whose lives have been forever altered by it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“This mesmerizing and gut-wrenching book shows the brutal realities that tens of thousands of people have been forced to navigate, and survive, in America’s most notorious jail.\u003c\/b\u003e”\u003cb\u003e—Piper Kerman, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eOrange is the New Black\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eKIRKUS REVIEWS \u003c\/i\u003eBEST BOOK OF THE YEAR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens when you pack almost a dozen jails, bulging at the seams with society’s cast-offs, onto a spit of landfill purposefully hidden from public view?

During the depths of the Great Depression, Jerry Siegel was a shy, awkward teenager in Cleveland. Raised on adventure tales and robbed of his father at a young age, Jerry dreamed of a hero for a boy and a world that desperately needed one. Together with neighborhood chum and kindred spirit Joe Shuster, young Siegel conjured a human-sized god who was everything his creators yearned to be: handsome, stalwart, and brave, able to protect the innocent, punish the wicked, save the day, and win the girl. It was on Superman’s muscle-bound back that the comic book and the very idea of the superhero took flight.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Tye chronicles the adventures of the men and women who kept Siegel and Shuster’s “Man of Tomorrow” aloft and vitally alive through seven decades and counting. Here are the savvy publishers and visionary writers and artists of comics’ Golden Age who ushered the red-and-blue-clad titan through changing eras and evolving incarnations; and the actors—including George Reeves and Christopher Reeve—who brought the Man of Steel to life on screen, only to succumb themselves to all-too-human tragedy in the mortal world. Here too is the poignant and compelling history of Siegel and Shuster’s lifelong struggle for the recognition and rewards rightly due to the architects of a genuine cultural phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e From two-fisted crimebuster to über-patriot, social crusader to spiritual savior, Superman—perhaps like no other mythical character before or since—has evolved in a way that offers a Rorschach test of his times and our aspirations. In this deftly realized appreciation, Larry Tye reveals a portrait of America over seventy years through the lens of that otherworldly hero who continues to embody our best selves.","brand":"Random House Publishing Group : Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44179486277859,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780812980776","price":112.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780812980776.webp?v=1734848235"},{"product_id":"survival-of-the-friendliest-9780399590689","title":"Survival of the Friendliest","description":"By: Brian Hare, Vanessa Woods     \u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Brilliant, eye-opening, and absolutely inspiring – and a riveting read.’ Cass Sunstein, author of \u003cem\u003eHow Change Happens\u003c\/em\u003e and co-author of \u003cem\u003eNudge\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the secret to humanity’s evolutionary success?

In learning the ways that all roses are alike, we risk becoming blind to their differences. . . . If we are mindfully creative, the circumstances of the moment will tell us what to do. . . . Those of us who are less evaluatively inclined experience less guilt, less regret, less blame, and tend to like ourselves more. . . . Uncertainty gives us the freedom to discover meaning. . . . Finally, what we think we’re sure of may not even exist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the skill of a gifted logician, Langer demonstrates exactly how we undervalue ourselves and undermine our creativity. By example, she persuades us to have faith in our creative works, not because someone else approves of them but because they’re a true expression of ourselves. Her high-spirited, challenging book sparkles with wit and intelligence and inspires in us an infectious enthusiasm for our creations, our world, and ourselves. It can be of lifelong value to everyone who reads it.","brand":"Random House Publishing Group : Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44179654607075,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780345456304","price":122.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780345456304.webp?v=1761092338"},{"product_id":"how-god-changes-your-brain-9780345503428","title":"How God Changes Your Brain","description":"By: Andrew Newberg M.D., Mark Robert Waldman     \u003chr\u003eGod is great—for your mental, physical, and spiritual health.

And since men are still in the power positions, if you don't play it their way, you don't play at all.\u003cbr\u003eBased on Mendell's interviews and her experience of counseling hundreds of frustrated career women, How Men Think identifies the seven rules that men learned by playing sports as children--games that excluded girls. These rules may seem simple on the surface, but understanding them as men do is anything but easy. You may have fallen into many of these traps yourself:\u003cbr\u003e* You're mad because you want your male boss to let you control your projects. But you've got to take control--that's the only way you'll get it.\u003cbr\u003e* You're steamed because a male colleague consistently takes credit for your work. Do you make a point of touting your accomplishments?\u003cbr\u003e* When you make a mistake you apologize. But the man you apologize to doesn't think you're polite--he thinks you're admitting incompetence.\u003cbr\u003e* A fight with a male colleague leaves you shaken. But the men in your office shout at each other for an hour and then go out for a beer.\u003cbr\u003eThese are the times that try women's souls! The strategies, insights, and eye-opening advice in How Men Think will help you get along better with the boys and propel you to the top where you belong.\u003cbr\u003e\"The more women have opportunities to play sports the more proficient they will become in competing in this men's world of 'unwritten rules.' To bridge the gap, Mendell's book, How Men Think, is a necessary guide for women working with men.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Diane Everett, Ph.D.\u003cbr\u003e Executive Director\u003cbr\u003e National Association for Girls and Women in Sport\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group : Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44179702939875,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780449909782","price":128.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780449909782.webp?v=1761093456"},{"product_id":"reading-people-9780345504135","title":"Reading People","description":"By: Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, Wendy Patrick Mazzarella     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLER •  \u003cb\u003e “Your eyes will be opened as mine have been by these tips from America’s leading people-readers.”—Chris Matthews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow can you “hear between the lines” to detect a lie?
