  This edition of Super Imperialism is the finalized version of the analysis that Michael Hudson first published in the wake of President Nixon severing the dollar's link to gold in August 1971. Closing the gold window had been imminent since the London Gold Pool was disbanded in 1968 in response to the U.S. overseas military spending that had pushed the balance of payments into steadily deepening deficit since the Korean War (1950-51).

  Fish On Fish Off

  Author and master storyteller Stephen Sautner narrates this special immersive audio edition of his modern angling classic complete with music and ambient sound. Through a series of 50 personal essays, each of which worthy of its own podcast, Fish On, Fish Off explores what happens when the self-taught, DIY angler sets out to fish the world–and winds up stumbling into every possible pitfall and danger along the way. These include: getting chased from a river by an elephant, surviving a terrifying helicopter ride over the Straits of Magellan, and breaking his only rod on the second cast in Cuba’s Bay of Pigs. Closer to home, he is swept off a jetty by a rogue wave, winds up in an emergency room more than once with fishing lures hanging from various parts of his anatomy, and perhaps most daunting, surviving 30 years of the scrum better known as opening day of trout season in his crowded home state of New Jersey. These stories of heartbreak, terror, and triumph transcend beyond fishing, and make for excellent listening for angler and non-angler alike.

  The time has come to reimagine our relationship to the environment before it is too late.As wildfires char the American West, extreme weather transforms landscapes, glaciers retreat, and climate zones shift, we are undeniably experiencing the effects of the climate crisis in more and more destructive ways. Climate change is impacting every inhabited region of the world, but there is much we can still do.Unsettling explores human impacts on the environment through science, popular culture, personal narrative, and landscape. Using the stories of animals, landscapes, and people who have exhibited resilience in the face of persistent colonization across the North American continent, science writer Elizabeth Weinberg explores how climate change is a direct result of white supremacy, colonialism, sexism, and heteronormativity. Travel through the deep sea; along Louisiana’s vanishing bayous; down the Colorado, Mississippi, and Potomac rivers; and over the Cascade Mountains, and examine how we as humans, particularly white humans, have drawn a stark line between human and animal, culture and nature, in order to exploit anything and anyone we find useful. With gorgeous and pointed prose, Weinberg weaves together science, personal essay, history, and pop culture to propose a new way of thinking about climate change—one that is rooted in queerness and antiracism.

  Off-Grid Projects - Build Your...

  Explanation of what off-grid living means Off-grid living is a lifestyle that involves living without the reliance on public utilities such as electricity, water, and gas. Instead, individuals generate their own power using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric energy. They also use alternative sources for heating and cooking, such as wood-burning stoves or geothermal systems. 
  The concept of off-grid living is not new, and has been around for centuries. Before the advent of modern public utilities, people lived off the land, using natural resources to sustain themselves. This involved growing crops and raising livestock for food, collecting rainwater, and using wood or coal for heating and cooking. 
  Today, off-grid living is becoming more popular due to concerns about climate change, rising energy costs, and the desire for a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Off-grid living is also seen as a way to reduce dependence on external resources and to live a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

  Sunday Times Bestseller 
  ‘Passionate and well-researched’ Tatler 
  ‘A must-read’ Independent 
  A social history of Labradors, and how they have become the world’s most beloved dogs, by writer, presenter and long-time dog lover Ben Fogle. 
  Labradors are the most popular breed of dog in the world. Not only a great family companion, they also excel at hunting, tracking, retrieving, guiding and rescuing. But where did the breed originally come from? How did it develop? When did black, yellow and chocolate Labradors first appear? Did they really all come from Labrador in Canada and are they really all related to just one dog? 
  In this first history of the Labrador, Ben Fogle goes in search of what makes Labradors so special. Their extraordinary companionship, intelligence, work ethic and loyalty is captured by Ben as he weaves the story of the breed into his own story of his beloved Inca. 
  Ben visits Canada, discovers hair-raising stories of early Labrador exploits and uncovers stories of RNIB Labradors and Labradors at war, Labradors as working dogs and every other manifestation of the Labrador’s character. Exploring their origin, early characteristics, their use as gun dogs, as therapy dogs, as police dogs, as search and rescue dogs and last – and absolutely not least – as family pets, Ben tells the story of a dog breed which has captured our imagination and love for hundreds of years. 
  This book by top author Ben Fogle is a comprehensive exploration of Labradors, the world's most beloved breed. As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Fogle's passion and knowledge shine through, making this book a must-read for all dog enthusiasts. 
  For fans of Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration), Daniel James Brown (The Boys In The Boat), Bear Grylls (Never Give Up), Amanda Owen (Celebrating the Seasons with the Yorkshire Shepherdess), and Dermot O'Leary (The Soundtrack to My Life).
