  Risk Makes Sense - Human...

  In a world of growing risk aversion, one could be forgiven for thinking that risk doesn’t make sense. Risk elimination thinking and behaviour sets a trajectory for a ‘dumb down’ workplace culture. The more efforts are made to ‘engineer out the idiot’, the more the system creates an unthinking workforce. 
  A Newsletter in 2011 by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK lists a number of things that have been banned. Dodgem cars, school sack races and kite flying, amongst the activities which have been banned. Some schools have banned kids playing on monkey bars and others have banned leather footballs. A local council has instituted a $1000 penalty for kite flying on council ovals in case somebody might get hit. Even the Royal British Legion had to stop selling poppies with pins on Remembrance Day in case people might prick themselves. 
  The report above demonstrates just how absurd things have developed in our risk adverse society. The reality is, there is no learning without risk. Risk is not bad. You can’t live life without a ‘trade-off ’ for risk. You can’t learn without risk. We seem more than ever preoccupied with lawsuits than learning, more anxious about injury than adventure and, fearful of harm rather than welcoming creativity. The evolving language of risk elimination and cult-like fixation with everything ‘zero’ is a language that fosters the development of an unthinking workforce. As risk aversion increases, so do the resulting management systems that accompany it. This results in ‘flooding’ the worker so that they default to gut instincts, personal micro-rules and ‘risk quackery’. This increases risk. Rather than resist risk or extinguish risk, we need to embrace it and better understand it from a social-psychological and cultural perspective. 
  This book advocates a social psychology approach when applied to risk, a new approach to risk that identifies that risk makes sense and is sense-able.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Unravel the mysterious patterns governing human civilization across millennia. This mind-expanding journey explores how historical events repeat in predictable cycles that seem impossible to break. From information revolutions to civilizational collapse, discover why humanity seems trapped in eternal loops of rise and fall. Learn from ancient philosophers who understood eternal return, modern historians who identified patterns in twenty-one civilizations, and consciousness researchers exploring how awareness itself might be cyclical. Discover the Library of Alexandria burning then and burning now through digital fragmentation. Understand Arnold Toynbee's creative minorities, Nietzsche's eternal return, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's noosphere. This exploration suggests we're not doomed to repetition but invited to consciously participate in evolution's next phase through awareness of the patterns themselves.

  The Architecture of Discipline -...

  In the era of the intelligent cloud, architecture must do more than enable systems; it must verify them. The Architecture of Discipline defines how modern enterprises design environments capable of demonstrating their own integrity—continuously and at scale. Drawing on extensive leadership experience in cloud security, Zero Trust, governance, and AI oversight, Lori Higham redefines architecture as a discipline of structure and accountability, where evidence emerges as the natural outcome of design rather than the afterthought of audit. 
  This work moves fluidly between theory and reflection, rhetoric and practice. It invites the reader to question assumptions about control, trust, and automation while offering concrete mechanisms for building systems that remain accurate, accountable, and adaptive as they evolve. Here, architecture becomes both a technical craft and a philosophical inquiry: a dialogue between what is built and what can be proven. 
  Across chapters on governance, Zero Trust, responsible AI, and assurance, The Architecture of Discipline demonstrates how design becomes verification: how standards translate into automation, ethics into operational boundary, and continuity into measurable assurance. Each section balances rigorous conceptual framing with tangible architectural patterns, reinforcing that discipline in design is both method and mindset. 
  More than a manual, this is a conversation with the reader—a call to architects, engineers, and decision-makers to examine not only what they build, but how they sustain fidelity between design and outcome. In intelligent environments, integrity is not assumed; it is demonstrated through evidence. The measure of architecture is its capacity to sustain integrity through change—to analyze, constrain, and reveal the systems it governs faster than risk can erode them.

  For listeners who enjoyed Finding the Mother Tree and The Hidden Life of Trees comes the first-ever book about a movement to restore biodiversity in our cities and towns by transforming empty lots, backyards, and degraded land into mini-forests. Author Hannah Lewis is the forest maker turning asphalt into ecosystems to save the planet, and she wants everyone to know they can do it too. In Mini-Forest Revolution, Lewis presents the Miyawaki Method, a unique approach to reforestation devised by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. She explains how tiny forests as small as six parking spaces grow quickly and are much more biodiverse than those planted by conventional methods. She explores the science behind why mini-forests work, as well as the myriad environmental benefits, including cooling urban heat islands, establishing wildlife corridors, building soil health, sequestering carbon, creating pollinator habitats, and more. Today, the Miyawaki Method is witnessing a worldwide surge in popularity. Lewis shares the stories of mini-forests that have sprung up across the globe and the people who are planting them?from a young forest along the concrete alley of the Beirut River in Lebanon, to a backyard forest planted by tiny-forest champion Shubhendu Sharma in India. This inspiring book offers a revolutionary approach to planting trees and a truly accessible solution to the climate crisis that can be implemented by communities, classrooms, cities, clubs, and families everywhere.
