  Big Tech is banking on you not reading this book. Literally. 
   
  Intellectual property (IP) and patent law in the US and globally is overwhelmingly in favor of large corporations who have spent billions lobbying for preferential treatment. For decades, individual creators and inventors have discovered that their dreams of having patents granted eventually end in nightmares of financial ruin and personal trauma.  
   
  But change is possible. After more than twenty-five years navigating the pitfalls and learning the hard lessons of IP and finance, Matt Moyers is on a mission to transform how the invention system works. The Venture Capital Alternative explores the nuances of technology, IP, and patent financing, and provides a modernized solution to balance the system and enable startups and innovation.  
   
  Through a detailed convergence of financial theory, regulatory frameworks, and financial astuteness, The Venture Capital Alternative charts a path for a better, revolutionary IP capital system—one that both empowers innovators and brings balance to the global economy.

  A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve listeners’ sleep anxiety once and for all! This program is read by the author.If there’s anything worse that not getting sleep, it’s lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here’s Romiszewski’s—a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK’s Sleepyhead Clinics—promise: “This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you’ll have regained control – not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts.”THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep—aka waking up in the middle of the night—is a killer. It’s a health and wellness sigh-of-relief book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you’re doing now is probably better than you think.Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:—The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime—How to trust your body’s natural sleep drive and rhythms—That ‘bad’ nights neither ruin the next day, nor, necessarily, your health, and that variability is normal—That sleep isn’t fragile—it’s adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it—The myth of eight hours—The power of lightFor an audience who found Matthew Walker’s Why We Sleep a bit daunting, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3 a.m.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials

  Earth for Sale - The Fight to...

  Maude Barlow

  Most agree on the urgent need for climate action, yet we are often divided on how to stop the destruction of the natural world. Earth for Sale exposes the danger of governments giving over this responsibility to powerful private interests, namely the same energy, chemical, agribusiness, and bottled water corporations that brought us to this ecological brink.Their answer? Put a price on nature and bring it into the market. Under the inviting language of "nature-based solutions" and "ecosystem services," this financialization and commodification of nature takes many forms: carbon trading; debt-for-nature swaps; water pollution trading; biodiversity credits; green, blue, and wildlife conservation bonds; plastics offsets; water futures; and more.Renowned activist Maude Barlow, who sounded the alarm decades ago on the corporate assault on water, argues the financialization of nature is dangerous and surprisingly few understand the implications, including many in environmental movements. With detailed examples and meticulous research, Earth for Sale unmasks this insidious new form of corporate plunder. We must not allow the movement to protect nature and biodiversity to be handed over to private interests whose driving motive is, and always has been, profit.
