  A decade to save the planet. 
  That's the current call to arms. Targets are set, governments vow to do their bit and on a societal level we are encouraged to do ours by choosing to forego all things plastic. The question is whether this is the right decision or are we inadvertently at risk of doing more harm than good? Are there other factors in play needing equal consideration? 
  The book will follow the story of plastic, and to an extent rubber (known collectively as polymers), and all with an eye to the overarching theme of the environment. It will ask some challenging questions but also sets out to inform. It begins by building a picture. Just what exactly is a plastic, how did it gain such a dominant role in our lives? Are recent denouncements fully justified? 
  By better understanding plastics, a clearer opinion can be formed of their usefulness and their potential to alleviate serious environmental concerns.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Enter the world of artificial intelligence surveillance and understand how machine learning systems analyze, predict, and influence your behavior in ways human observers never could. This technological audiobook examines how AI systems process your digital footprint to construct detailed psychological profiles used for manipulation, prediction, and control. Learn how facial recognition, sentiment analysis, behavioral prediction, and pattern recognition create unprecedented surveillance capabilities that transform every digital interaction into data for analysis. The narrator reveals how AI systems identify your emotional state, political orientation, purchasing vulnerability, and psychological weaknesses from data you never intended to share. Discover the feedback loops between surveillance AI and behavior modification systems that observe responses to optimize manipulation in real-time. Understand why AI surveillance differs fundamentally from human observation in scale, persistence, and analytical capability that makes privacy effectively impossible. This audiobook examines the corporate and government applications of machine watching, from targeted advertising to predictive policing to social credit systems already operational in some societies. Learn what AI researchers and civil liberties advocates understand about where machine surveillance is heading and what it means for human freedom. Perfect for anyone using digital technology who wants to understand what watches them, how it understands them, and what futures this surveillance infrastructure enables.

  What Sheep Think About the...

  It started with a hummingbird dive-bombing Amelia Thomas over her morning coffee, and a pair of piglets who just wouldn't stay put. Soon Amelia, journalist and new farmer, begins to question the communications of the creatures all around her. Are they all just animals reacting instinctually to the world around them—or are they trying to communicate something deeper? 
   
  Driven by lifelong curiosity, Amelia embarks on a journey to uncover what animals truly seek to say to humans. On the way, along with groundbreaking chimps and circumspect octopuses, she'll meet an extraordinary cast of experts, from animal behaviorists and anthrozoologists to trackers and psychologists, and even explore the surprising insights of pet psychics, A.I. researchers, and animal mindfulness practitioners. Each perspective offers a new layer of understanding about the subtle, complex ways animals connect with us—and will deepen our appreciation for every creature with whom we share our planet. 
   
  In What Sheep Think About the Weather, Amelia chronicles her sometimes difficult discoveries with humor, heart, and awe. More than just a memoir, this book is a call to listen—not only to the animals we love but to the untamed world around us. What if the answers to some of humanity's greatest questions have been whispered to us all along?

  Earth for Sale - The Fight to...

  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.
