  Free-flowing rivers in the United States are an endangered species. With more than 500,000 dams in place, we've dammed and diverted almost every major river, straightening curves and blocking passage for fish and other aquatic animals, pushing many to the brink. Now a heartening new movement is helping to demolish harmful or obsolete structures and restore new life to rivers and the communities that depend on them. In doing so, it offers a pathway to undoing environmental harm to nature—and to ourselves.In Undammed, environmental journalist Tara Lohan takes a clear-eyed look at the unexpected benefits of dam removal after centuries of dam-building. In helping to restore rivers, she argues, we're protecting our own communities by improving water quality, enhancing public safety, and boosting fish populations that feed people and restore rights for Native American Tribes. In Europe, where river barriers occur almost every half-mile, the US movement is spurring a rival effort to restore natural flow to rivers degraded by obstructions.Undammed is an inspirational look at our changing relationship with the natural world, showing the cascade of benefits that come when we no longer turn our backs on rivers. And in helping to restore rivers, we're helping ourselves.

  I am the worst person in the world. 
  Bad mother. Bad lover. Bad worker. Bad woman. Bad friend ... 
   
  An exploration of motherdom and ego, culture and art, love and pain, The Sea in the Metro tells the story of a new mother in Paris trying to make it work – and failing. What happens when the control you thought you had over your life is usurped by your nature? 
   
  Jayne was raised to believe she could have everything. Child, career, relationship, even a life in Paris. So why does she feel like a monster? As her ego wars with her natural instincts, Jayne searches for answers in friendship, the city, memories of her late mother, art, writing and New Wave films … and finds only more questions. There are parts of herself that parenthood won't let her avoid. 
   
  Unsentimental and untamed, The Sea in the Metro is an unflinching excavation of modern womanhood that marks the thrilling return of an incredible talent in Australian literature.

  In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinus's 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads – 'Unity and Oneness'.
  
  He uses Plotinus's philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses 'Unity' for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind – its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.

  AMERICA'S GOT TALENT 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  America's Got Talent (AGT) is an American talent show competition that is part of the global Got Talent franchise. Created by Simon Cowell, the show features diverse acts competing for a large cash prize and a chance to headline a Las Vegas show. The show has had multiple hosts including Regis Philbin, Jerry Springer, Nick Cannon, Tyra Banks and currently Terry Crews. The judging panel has included David Hasselhoff, Brandy Norwood, Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel, Howard Stern, Mel B, Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, Julianne Hough, Gabrielle Union and Sofía Vergara. The show is known for its high viewership and has led to several spin-offs. The show has a unique audition format with buzzers, a Golden Buzzer, and various live show formats. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Simon Cowell created America's Got Talent because he wanted a talent competition that was "far grander" than other televised contests. The original plan was for a British edition, but a dispute led to the American version premiering first.  
    
  America's Got Talent premiered on June 21, 2006, after the British version was suspended, and it was a ratings success for NBC. The show draws an average of around 10 million viewers per season. 
    
  The show has a wide range of acts, including singing, dancing, comedy, magic, and stunts. Participants try to impress a panel of judges to get into the live episodes. 
    
  The winner of America's Got Talent receives a large cash prize, which is mainly paid over a period of time. Since season three, the winner also gets a chance to headline a show on the Las Vegas Strip.
