  A Road Running Southward -...

  In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature. 
   
   
   
  A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

  Hacker Chronicles The - Volume...

  Between 1971 and 1998, the networks the modern world was being built on had no defences worth the name. This is the story of ten cases that changed that. 
  In 1971, a blind eight-year-old in Boston discovered he could whistle into a telephone and place free long-distance calls. In 1986, an astronomer at Berkeley traced a 75-cent accounting discrepancy to a West German intelligence operation. In 1988, a Cornell graduate student released a program that took down ten per cent of the internet by accident. In 1995, a Russian mathematician with no internet connection at home moved ten million dollars out of Citibank. In 1998, the United States Deputy Secretary of Defense told a Senate committee that the most coordinated attack on Pentagon networks ever recorded had been conducted by two teenagers in California. 
  The Hacker Chronicles is a narrative history of cybercrime, drawn from court records, contemporary press accounts, published memoirs, and the established historical literature. The ten cases that follow — Captain Crunch, the 414s, the Cuckoo's Egg, the Morris Worm, the Citibank heist, Solar Sunrise, and four others — are the cases that made cybersecurity necessary as a discipline. 
  The series continues in Volume Two: Going Pro (1999-2010), Volume Three: Going Geopolitical (2010-2020), and Volume Four: Going Strategic (2020-2025).

  Willpower is not the answer. Design is everything.
   
  If you or someone you love has tried to quit drinking, gambling, scrolling, or using—only to relapse again and again—you know the shame of being told to “just try harder.” But the real problem isn't your willpower. It's your brain.
   
  Addiction and Recovery Rewired integrates the latest neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relapse prevention engineering into a step‑by‑step program that works for both substance addictions (alcohol, opioids, cannabis) and behavioral addictions (gambling, pornography, gaming, social media, shopping).
   
  You will discover:
   
  Why your prefrontal cortex—the brain's CEO—gets hijacked and how to rebuild it.
   
  The 15‑minute craving wave and how to surf it instead of fighting it.
   
  A 2‑Minute Interruption Protocol to break the ritual of use before it starts.
   
  How to design your home, phone, and daily routines so sobriety becomes the path of least resistance.
   
  A week‑by‑week neurochemical roadmap for the first 90 days—and what to expect when anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure) lasts longer.
   
  Family dynamics: how to stop enabling, set a Non‑Negotiable Contract, and repair trust.
   
  Why community is medicine and how to find your recovery tribe—whether in 12‑step, SMART Recovery, or online.
   
  No more white‑knuckling. No more shame. Just a science‑based, compassionate path to a life you don't want to escape.
   
  You don't quit an addiction. You replace it with a life worth staying sober for.

  Is there an answer to the most profound question mankind has been asking itself for as long as there has been consciousness: is there life after death? 
   
  We discover that a technique exists with which we can all travel and journey to "other realities" that exist within us. Through the science of quantum physics, Gardiner shows that ancient man was far more advanced than we previously believed. The author actually undergoes his own experiments to prove the point. 
   
  Is there a universal frequency so perfect that it allows the mind to travel into other realms? Did our ancestors know of this special harmony? How does all this relate to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement? Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm? Are there ancient methods of healing that would benefit mankind? 
   
  In an all-encompassing work, the author uses the science of the day in conjunction with the most ancient of teachings, bringing them into current-day reality. Based on the best-selling book of the same name. 
   
  Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.
