What if everything we thought we knew about the world and our place in it was wrong?
Welcome to "Creative Uncertainty" by David Keppel - a book that will challenge your thinking and inspire you to make positive changes in your life and in the world around you.
Have you ever wondered how humans have come so close to destroying the biosphere and putting our own survival at risk?
In this thought-provoking book, David Keppel explores this question and provides a fresh perspective on some of the most pressing issues facing us today.
Drawing on his father's earlier work and his own extensive research, David takes a broad approach to the subject, exploring history, cosmology, evolution, philosophy, and current politics. He uncovers fascinating findings from across these diverse fields and applies them to suggest a new ethic of resilience - one that can help us face the urgent challenges of climate change and other pressing issues.
But "Creative Uncertainty" is more than just a book about the environment. It's an invitation to think differently and to challenge the flaws in our way of thinking and acting. David argues that philosophy has lost its way in the search for certainty, but that a new philosophy of nature offers a way forward.
He encourages us to embrace uncertainty and to see it as an opportunity for creativity and adaptation.
This is a book that will inspire you to make positive changes in your life and in the world around you. It will challenge you to think differently and to consider new ways of approaching some of the most pressing issues of our time.
So, if you're ready to explore a new philosophy of nature and to embrace creative uncertainty, then "Creative Uncertainty" is the book for you.
Order your copy today and start changing the world!
David received a B.A., M.A. with First Class Honors in English Language and Literature from Oxford. He was a member of the National Strategy Committee of the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign and is an author of 94 published letters on peace and disarmament in The New York Times.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BooksRun, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
