A giftable collection of essays from celebrity contributors celebrating the great work of teachers or a teacher they admire, curated by ABC journalist Deborah Roberts. Contributors include Oprah Winfrey, Jenna Bush Hager, Robin Roberts, Brooke Shields, Octavia Spencer, Rachael Ray, Misty Copeland and more. 

Everyone can name a teacher who had an impact on their life. Educators not only open our minds to new ideas, but they also help us recognize our potential and our passions. However, rarely do they get credit for the life-changing work they do, and often teachers have no idea how their work can influence a student all the way into adulthood.

In Lessons Learned and Cherished: The Teacher Who Changed My Life, award-winning ABC journalist Deborah Roberts curates a collection of essays and musings from celebrity friends and colleagues alike that share how teachers changed them, imparted life lessons, and helped them get to where they are today.

Books are available for pre-order here and the on-sale date is May 2nd, 2023.

Howard Bloom – The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature Is Wrong – New Book Coming in 2025 

Published

on

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is the latest book of paradigm-challenges from Howard Bloom, the man Britain’s Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21st century.  And the Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong just may turn your existing view of yourself and of the universe you live in upside down and inside out.  

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos says that we’ve got nature all wrong.  The Sexual Cosmos tells the tale of the universe from the big bang to what’s going on in your brain as you read this sentence, unmasking a startling face of the evolutionary saga.  Nature is green in tooth and claw.

In The Case of the Sexual Cosmos’ meticulously-researched telling of the evolutionary story, life does not live in harmony with nature. Far from it.   Life does not take nature lying down.  Life is obstreperous.  Life is uppity. Life is impertinent.   Life is not a mere survivor.  Life is a doomrider and a catastrophe tamer.  Life takes nature apart and puts her back together in whole new ways.  Nature uses life to reinvent herself.

What’s more, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos proposes a scientific paradigm shift. The book argues that it’s time to toss out one of science’s most cherished concepts, The Second Law of Thermodynamics.  The law that all things fall apart.  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos proposes that the Second Law be replaced by The First Law of Flamboyance.  The law that things do not just fall apart.  They fall together.

And The Case of the Sexual Cosmos shows what this means to your life and mine.

MacArthur Genius Award winner Richard Foreman says The Case Of The Sexual Cosmos is “a massive achievement.  Wow!”   BBC-TV producer of seven science series including Connections, James Burke, calls The Case of the Sexual Cosmos “a triumph…full of surprises, unexpected connections, [and] complexifying outcomes ”  Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society Gregory Matloff calls The Case of the Sexual Cosmos “a masterwork.”

Conrad Labandeira of the Smithsonian Institution says that The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is “enjoyable and compelling.”  And Harvard’s Ellen Langer says that The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is “a fascinating read…….[Bloom] argues that we are not savaging the earth as some would have it, but instead are growing the cosmos.”

Concludes novelist Helen Zuman, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos pulls “us out of Greta Thunberg’s self-hate machine” and shows that, “The true tragedy is not war or climate catastrophe.  It’s rejecting the exuberant flamboyance of exactly who we are.”

More About Howard Bloom:

Howard Bloom of the Howard Bloom Institute has been called the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century by Britain’s Channel 4 TV.  One of his eight books–Global Brain—was the subject of a symposium thrown by the Office of the Secretary of Defense including representatives from the State Department, the Energy Department, DARPA, IBM, and MIT.  His work has been published in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, Psychology Today, and the Scientific American. A former Visiting Scholar at New York University’s Graduate Psychology Department, a former Core Faculty member at the Graduate Institute in Meriden, Connecticut, and the current Kepler Space University Professor of Practice, Bloom has been published in journals or has spoken at scholarly conferences in twelve different scientific fields, from quantum physics and cosmology to neuroscience, information theory, and biopolitics.  He calls this multi-disciplinary approach “Omnology.”  Concludes Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Evolution’s End and The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, “I have finished Howard Bloom’s [first two] books, The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain, in that order, and am seriously awed, near overwhelmed by the magnitude of what he has done. I never expected to see, in any form, from any sector, such an accomplishment.  I doubt there is a stronger intellect than Bloom’s on the planet.”
