There are many aspects to sailing a small yacht in a big ocean from unfathomable joy to abject fear; from a sense of freedom to frustration and from a deep sense of peace to foreboding terror. You are masters of your own destiny but there are skills needed. Gone are the solid floorboards, exchanged for an ever-moving deck. Simple things become a challenge. Joy can be the simple pleasure of a night watch, with the rhythmical sound of the moving yacht, the phosphorescence of the wake and the myriad of stars or it can be the fear of what can happen in a storm. Cruising is a different way of life. Most of the time it is rewarding but things can go wrong. Piracy is real. Getting to know the ways of new countries and people is a rewarding experience.

In Neo-Humean & Mechanismic Paradigms of Inference for Physical Science, author Philippos Afxentiou explores the intersections of causality across physical and social sciences. This work presents an ambitious framework for unifying scientific inference across disciplines, from hard sciences like physics to more conceptually nuanced fields like social science. Drawing on both Humean and mechanistic theories of causality, the book critically examines existing scientific paradigms, addressing their limitations and proposing a path toward greater coherence in understanding causation. Afxentiou's exploration of inductive reasoning, probabilistic causality, and multi-linear causation offers a compelling re-evaluation of what it means to establish a theory that bridges traditionally disparate fields. Ideal for readers with an interest in philosophy of science, this work brings clarity and innovation to one of the most complex debates in modern scientific thought.

These poems are the face of feelings that have been internalised for far too long, and have served as a form of self-expression through not just adversity, but also times when hope and snippets of joy felt strong.Poetry has helped the author understand their emotions and how they take in and process the environment around them.
