  If you live on a rapidly changing planet, you'd be wise to learn how it works. The giant old forests on a skinny stretch of land on the far west coast of North America have a lot to say about living in a twitchy world. 
   
   
    
  In this engaging book science writer M. L. Herring takes listeners into the Pacific temperate rainforest at the tumultuous edge of a shifting continent in a precarious moment of time. Listeners peek behind the magnificent scenery into a forest of ancient trees, exploding mountains, disappearing owls, tsunamis, megafires, and ten million people to learn what it means to be a forest in a world of upheavals. 
   
   
    
  Through Herring's words, listeners drift into the canopy through masses of ferns and lichens, burrow into soil through hair-thin threads of fungi, and plunge headlong through a watershed flushed with rain and snowmelt. Listeners experience the temperate rainforest through science and art as it faces a shifting climate and the shifting priorities of a constantly changing society. The book journeys beyond the grid of latitude and longitude and into places only one's imagination can fit, to discover what it means to be human in an ecological world.

  Insane Consequences - How the...

  This well-researched and highly critical examination of the state of our mental health system by the industry's most relentless critic presents a new and controversial explanation as to why—in spite of spending $147 billion annually—140,000 seriously mentally ill are homeless, 390,000 are incarcerated, and even educated, tenacious, and caring people can't get treatment for their mentally ill loved ones. DJ Jaffe blames the mental health industry and the government for shunning the 10 million adults who are the most seriously mentally ill—mainly those who suffer from schizophrenia and severe bipolar disorder—and, instead, working to improve "mental wellness" in 43 million others, many of whom are barely symptomatic. Using industry and government documents, scientific journals, and anecdotes from his thirty years of advocacy, Jaffe documents the insane consequences of these industry-driven policies: psychiatric hospitals for the seriously ill are still being closed; involuntary commitment criteria are being narrowed to the point where laws now require violence rather than prevent it; the public is endangered; and the mentally ill and their families are forced to suffer.

  Digital Design - Principles and...

  Digital design is an essential field that shapes the way we interact with technology today. It refers to the process of creating visual content and interfaces using digital tools. With the rapid advancement of technology, digital design has become an integral part of various industries, from web development and mobile applications to graphic design and user experience (UX) design. Understanding the foundations of digital design is crucial for anyone who aims to create meaningful and engaging digital experiences. 
  The evolution of digital design tools has greatly impacted the profession. In the early days of digital design, tools like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator were primarily used for static designs, such as graphics and layouts. However, with the rise of user-centered design principles and the need for interactivity, new tools have emerged. Programs such as Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD are now widely used for UI/UX design, providing designers with the capability to create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs in collaborative environments. These tools allow designers to visualize their concepts in real-time and ensure that the final product meets the users' needs and expectations. 
  One of the most important aspects of digital design is its impact on modern technology. From the moment a user opens a website or app, they interact with a design that was carefully crafted to create a seamless and engaging experience. Digital design plays a significant role in influencing how users perceive and navigate through digital spaces. Good design enhances usability, encourages interaction, and helps users accomplish their goals efficiently. Poor design, on the other hand, can frustrate users and drive them away, making it crucial for designers to understand both the aesthetic and functional aspects of their work.

Stover weaves in wisdom from indigenous and Mexican healers and practitioners with application exercises, writing prompts, and journal entries to deepen the listener's healing journey. These exercises are applicable to all listeners, whether you are working on your own or with a therapist.
