  What kind of fossils will we leave, as relics into the far future? A blizzard of new objects has suddenly appeared on Earth: plastic bottles, ballpoint pens, concrete flyways, chicken bones, cans, teabags, phones, shirts. They're produced for our comfort and pleasure then quickly discarded. This new-made treasure chest underpins our lives. But it is also giving a completely new style of fossilization to our planet. Designed to resist corrosion and decay, many will remain, petrified, as future geology. 
   
   
   
  What will these technofossils look like? How long will they last and how will they change? Discarded describes how they transform and what will be left of them. These new fossils have meaning for our lives today. For we live on a world increasingly buried under our growing waste. As our discarded artefacts begin to change into fossils, they may be swallowed by birds, entangle fish, alter microbial communities and release toxins. Even buried in rock, technofossils may break down into new-formed oil and gas, change the composition of groundwater, and attract new mineral growths. 
   
   
   
  It is a new planetary phenomenon, now unfolding around us. Scientists are only just beginning to grasp its scale, and get to grips with how it functions. This book describes the kind of science that is emerging to show the far-future human footprint on Earth.

  Mind Control - An Owner's Manual...

  A.I. or - Thinking outside the box!  Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities.  I call him 'Homo Planetae' or Man of the Planet.  Homo Sapiens or the Wise Man is no longer viable since it is this species that has brought us to the edge of extinction and the total destruction of this planet's habitat - something no other creature in history has been so careless and greedy to do.  We did that.  An evolutionary branching off of an obsolete species and onto a new more advanced creature is now taking place right before our eyes, but 'None are so blind as those who will not see.' 
  Through your increased abilities of using your mind or 'Mind Control' as this author defines it - we still have a chance to redeem ourselves and save this planet.  But time is of the essence and is rapidly running out.  The ways in which we are mind controlled by our government and our corporations, our religions are profound yet so subtle we don't even think about it until it's too late.

  Where Things Touch - A...

  Bahar Orang

  Finalist for the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award
  
  To devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.
  Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.
  Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.
  Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover.Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
  2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Jury Citation:
  "Tapestry-like in form, Orang's lyrical poetic essay stitches together an exploration of beauty and aesthetics that is woven with humility and relationality to other. Her immense sense of craft and confidence make for breath stopping moments, over and over, while at the same time filling the senses with powerful and piercing revelation. 'Reading,' she writes, 'is a kind of ecological activity'– and it is a privilege to situate yourself within Orang's topographies of love."
