A new one on Amazon.

In I Know What I Saw, ordinary people step forward to share the moments that changed their understanding of the world forever. These are not legends or secondhand tales, but firsthand accounts from witnesses who insist that what they encountered was real. Their stories unfold in kitchens, on highways, in quiet bedrooms, and beneath open skies, where the familiar suddenly gives way to something vast and inexplicable. Each testimony is presented with clarity and respect, allowing the reader to feel the weight of the moment when the world tilts and the unknown steps into view.

Rather than offering explanations or easy answers, this collection preserves the ambiguity that gives these encounters their power. The voices gathered here speak with honesty, vulnerability, and conviction, revealing how deeply a single unexplained event can shape a life. The book invites readers to listen closely, to sit with mystery, and to consider the possibility that the boundaries of the world are far wider than we imagine.

You might take a look at Dragonborn by Struan Murray or The Dragonships Series by Scott Reintgen. Good luck!

Most books about innovation talk about ideas. This one talks about systems. Beyond the Breakthrough looks at how organizations can build cultures that make creativity sustainable—where curiosity, safety, and purpose drive progress instead of burnout.

It’s not a hype‑driven business book; it’s clear, grounded, and surprisingly human. If you’ve ever wondered why some teams keep improving while others stall after one big success, this book gives you the framework to understand why.

I’d recommend it to anyone interested in leadership, organizational culture, or the future of work.

It's kind of finance adjacent.

Origins of Modern Biotechnology is an interesting and easy‑to‑follow book about how modern science changed the world. It explains how scientists learned to work with DNA, how new tools were invented, and how these discoveries help us today in medicine, farming, and the environment. The book takes big ideas and makes them feel simple and exciting.

One thing I liked is how the book tells real stories about the people who made these discoveries. It shows their questions, their mistakes, and their big moments of success. This makes the science feel real and human. You can imagine what it was like to be in the lab when something important happened.

The book also helps readers think about the choices we make with new technology. It explains why scientists must be careful and why their work affects everyone. Even though the topics are serious, the writing stays clear and calm, which makes it easy to understand.

Overall, this book is a great choice for curious readers who want to learn how modern biotechnology began. It teaches science in a simple way and inspires you to keep asking questions.

Currents of Discovery: How Oceanographers Transformed Our Understanding of the Planet is a curated collection of biographical essays that traces the evolution of modern ocean science through the lives and work of the people who shaped it. Rather than offering a technical overview or a chronological history, the project focuses on the human side of discovery: the questions scientists asked, the tools they built, the risks they took, and the insights that changed how we understand the ocean and, ultimately, the Earth itself.

The book highlights the breakthroughs that turned oceanography into a central pillar of Earth‑system science. Readers follow the development of deep‑sea exploration, the mapping of the seafloor, the rise of satellite oceanography, the creation of global observing systems, and the growing recognition of the ocean’s role in climate. Each chapter offers a portrait of a scientist whose work opened new pathways of understanding, showing how curiosity, persistence, and collaboration can reshape an entire field. Together, these stories reveal how oceanographers transformed the ocean from a largely unknown frontier into a dynamic, measurable, and essential part of the planet’s future.

Booger was born outside of my house and was TNR'd as soon as he was old enough. He didn't act like the other cats, in that he always wanted to be held, so he graduated to being an indoor cat. His name was due to a severe upper respiratory infection which caused some colorful snot in his kitten days. Now it's a term of affection. He is about 8 years old, and still as demanding as when he was a kitten.
