In Tomorrow - A Practical Guide to Time Travel, Gary Paul Bryant invites readers to step out of the “someday, maybe” mindset and into a serious exploration of how time travel could move from thought experiment to achievable technology. Built on the premise that there’s a strong probability we live in a block universe — a model where past, present, and future all exist at once — the book treats time travel not as a narrative gimmick, but as a natural extension of physics.
The writing walks a fine rigorous enough to engage readers with an appetite for science, yet accessible enough for those whose last brush with equations was in high school. Historical context — from Einstein’s relativity to quantum mechanics — is woven in with contemporary thought, making it clear how we arrived at this moment where time travel feels less like a fantasy and more like a frontier.
Where the book shines is in its pragmatic tone. Instead of falling into sci-fi excess, Bryant asks practical What kind of machine would work? How would we navigate? What energy sources could power the trip? And, importantly, should we? The ethical considerations are given as much weight as the engineering, grounding the whole work in responsibility.
The result is an unusual part science explainer, part technological forecast, part philosophical reflection. Tomorrow doesn’t just argue that time travel is possible — it makes the reader wonder why, if the odds are this good, we aren’t already working on it.

This is a how-to book designed to provide guidance to educators, parents, administrators, librarians, school boards and communities on how to get climate change education into the classroom within current educational standards. The endnotes refer to Resource Clusters, curated and annotated. These resources are curated by reader groups. They contain lessons, exercises, activities, and case studies as well as cutting edge research on climate change. They also contain sources of financial and operational support for educators and school boards. There are listings of jobs and careers in climate change fields. My goal is to create knowledgeable and resilient leaders in climate change. We need everyone.

Informed by the latest research, and mycologist Britt Bunyard’s decades-long relationship with fungi across the globe, Fungi Decoded offers a tour of the world's most intriguing mushrooms, spotlighting well-known fungi such as the Fly Agaric as well as morphological oddities such as Stinkhorns and Bird’s Nest Fungi. Through in-depth profiles on thirty mushrooms, you will learn about a variety of morphogroups, distributions, habitats, and substrate types.
This book also explores the most intriguing questions at the heart of these extraordinarily strange organisms. What makes some fungi glow? Which fungi strangle nematodes? How have fungi changed the course of human history? What happens if you step into a fairy ring of mushrooms? Why do some fungi grow in dung?
Featuring vivid illustrations and filled with fascinating information, Fungi Decoded is perfect for both new fungus fans and seasoned mycophiles.
This book is not meant for identifying edible mushrooms.
