Books, Self HelpTranscendence: How Humans Evolved through Fire, Language, Beauty, and Time (Paperback)
From the prize-winning author of Adventures in the Anthropocene, the astonishing story of how culture enabled us to become the most successful species on Earth’A wondrous, visionary work’ Tim Flannery, author of The Weather MakersHumans are a planet-altering force. Gaia Vince argues that our unique ability – compared with other species – to determine the course of our own destiny rests on a special relationship between our genes, environment and culture going back into deep time. It is our collective culture, rather than our individual intelligence, that makes humans unique. Vince shows how four evolutionary drivers – Fire, Language, Beauty and Time – are further transforming our species into a transcendent superorganism: a hyper-cooperative mass of humanity that she calls Homo omnis. Drawing on leading-edge advances in population genetics, archaeology, palaeontology and neuroscience, Transcendence compels us to reimagine ourselves, showing us to be on the brink of something grander – and potentially more destructive.’Richly informed by the latest research, Gaia Vince’s colourful survey fizzes like a zip-wire as it tours our species’ story from the Big Bang to the coming age of hypercooperation’ Richard Wrangham, author of The Goodness Paradox’Wonderful … enlightening’ Robin Ince, The Infinite Monkey Cage.

- Exercise, nurture and enhance a child’s ability to think mathematically! SKILLS THAT BUILD is a series that guides parents and educators to develop a child’s essential life skills through activities that reinforce each skill in a fun and engaging way! Scare the spectre of mathematics away and develop mathematical thinking in a fun setting! Many grow up fearing the maths taught in school, which seems like a set of dull, tricky and timeconsuming rules. This is primarily because we are not taught to apply the tools of mathematics to understand the world. Being a Mathematician empowers a child by helping to develop winning-edge mathematical thinking instead of focussing solely on the rote learning of rules in order to solve math problems. The creative activities included in the book are uniquely designed to help exercise, nurture and enhance a child’s ability to think mathematically. Effectively, this becomes a lifelong skill that ensures success. What’s more: fun activities designed to run parallel to school curricula, engaging young minds in a much more interactive manner.
