“Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds” by Scott Solomon
Through conversations with the people designing, surviving and studying life in space, Rice Teaching Professor of BioSciences Scott Solomon reveals how venturing off-planet could transform everything we know about being human. From altered physiology to reimagined societies, he maps the radical changes awaiting us as we become a spacefaring species. Fans of “Project Hail Mary” will find the same sense of wonder here, rooted in real science that dares to imagine what our future might hold.
“The New Science of Momentum: How the Best Coaches and Leaders Build a Fire from a Single Spark” by Don Yaeger and Bernard B. Banks, Ph.D. with Dr. Karen Cyphers
With coauthor Don Yaeger, Rice University’s Doerr Institute for New Leaders Director Bernard B. Banks, Ph.D., distills insights from more than 250 interviews and 2,000 surveys into a compelling framework for building, sustaining and steering momentum. Drawing on lessons from championship sports teams, political campaigns, high-performing businesses and elite military units, Yaeger and Banks show how leaders can create the conditions that keep groups moving decisively toward success.
