  Read by the author, Tom Lathan.In Lost Wonders author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the powerful stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century.Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years – a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth – from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies – Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, Lost Wonders is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.

  ‘If you’ve read anything about the alien abduction enigma, then you will surely have heard the term ‘the greys’ which, of course, refers to the small grey humanoids involved in such experiences. In this book, investigator and experiencer Philip Kinsella draws on his extensive experience to pose the crucial questions about this phenomenon. The author also looks at the similarities with other high-strangeness experiences with a wide variety of otherworldly beings around the globe. If you have any interest in these subjects, then this could well be the book for you.’  Philip Mantle, British Ufologist, researcher, and author.  
  ‘Philip Kinsella’s Terrestrial Trespassers is an up-to-date, intelligent and broad-ranging survey of the alien abduction phenomenon, which explores many related paranormal phenomena as an integral part of the author’s thesis. Illustrations (many by Ronald Kinsella), archive photos, graphs and maps relevant to the narrative text enhance the reader’s experience by bringing the story alive. Highly recommended for both those new to this study and those more familiar with the literary canon on the subject.’  Steve Aspin, author of Out of Time: The Intergenerational Abduction Program Explored (2022) 
  ‘Excellent writing and ideas.  Philip explores numerous aspects of this strange phenomenon and includes a spiritual discussion.  One idea is that the Greys may be clones or artificially fabricated and may have eradicated the elements of their ‘spirit,’ which humans possess.  They may see using us as a method to escape such a robotic existence.’  Dr Irena McCammon Scott, author of "UFOs Today: 70 Years of Lies, Misinformation, and Government Cover-up."

  Wild American Ginseng - Lessons...

  Wild American ginseng, America's most famous medicinal plant, is in trouble. In plain prose, James McGraw explains why as he translates the latest in ecological and conservation science findings on this unassuming understory herb. As the world's foremost authority on wild ginseng, McGraw is uniquely poised to present this story based on more than twenty years of uninterrupted field research. 
   
   
   
  McGraw traces the dramatic ecological history of ginseng in North America, documenting the ginseng-centric view of a world increasingly dominated by both direct and indirect actions of humans. Far more than a story of a single plant species, ginseng becomes a parable, a canary in a coal mine, for what is happening to our dwindling wild species across the globe. Documenting lingchi (death by a thousand cuts) in human interactions with wild species, McGraw shows us the evidence of our slowly eroding biodiversity and our diminishing global biotreasury. 
   
   
   
  Beyond merely documenting our destruction of nature, McGraw also offers a pathway to an optimistic future for ginseng and the wild species with whom we share the planet. He illuminates how a dramatic expansion of our commitment to sharing the planet with our fellow planetary companions is the key to preservation; and now is the time to do so.

  Urban Policy and Governance -...

  Urban policy and governance are central to shaping the future of cities worldwide. As urban areas continue to expand, the challenges faced by city leaders, policymakers, and residents grow ever more complex. Urban policy refers to the strategies, frameworks, and regulations that guide the development and management of cities. It encompasses everything from housing and infrastructure to social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic growth. Governance, on the other hand, focuses on the decision-making processes, institutions, and actors responsible for implementing these policies. Effective urban governance ensures that cities function smoothly and equitably while addressing the diverse needs of their populations. 
  The rapid pace of urbanization has been a defining feature of the 21st century, with over half of the world's population now living in cities. This urban shift presents numerous challenges, including overcrowding, resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and social inequality. However, it also creates opportunities for innovation and progress. A well-crafted urban policy can harness the potential of urbanization to improve quality of life, create economic opportunities, and foster sustainability. 
  Urban governance is shaped by various factors, including political, economic, and social dynamics. At its core, it involves coordinating efforts among multiple stakeholders, such as local governments, private sector entities, civil society groups, and international organizations. The collaboration between these actors is crucial to addressing the complex and interconnected issues that cities face. Effective governance must be inclusive, transparent, and accountable to ensure that all voices, particularly those of marginalized communities, are heard and considered in decision-making processes.
