  With their towering, cinnamon-colored trunks and dusky green canopies, ponderosa pine has long been a charismatic icon of the American West. Yet a quiet unraveling has begun: in the past decade, in a vast area from Santa Fe to the Sierras, more than two hundred million ponderosa have died. While some trees will survive in cooler places, scientists estimate that by mid-century less than five percent of the ponderosa in the American Southwest may remain. As the very character of this vast region shifts, what will be left behind? And how can we come to terms with such profound loss?In The Twilight Forest, Gary Ferguson brings listeners on an expansive journey through the ponderosa forests of the Southwest both to mourn—and to celebrate—the forests that nurtured him. In warm and luminous storytelling, Ferguson weaves together the human and natural history of ponderosa, from its march across the West more than 10,000 years ago, to centuries of artists inspired by its dazzling stature and shady passageways. Both wildfire and climate change are constant presences on this journey. Fire is necessary for healthy forests but has turned deadly, while climate change stresses even the hardiest beings of the natural world. Yet the story of ponderosa reminds us that loss can be a gateway to connection—to nature and each other.

  The Shocking Truth about Animal...

  Animal testing has long been a cornerstone of scientific research, serving as a method to understand biological processes, test the safety and efficacy of products, and develop medical treatments. It involves the use of live animals in experiments and observational studies to explore the effects of drugs, chemicals, and other substances on biological systems. This practice, while often viewed as essential, is fraught with controversy, ethical dilemmas, and scientific scrutiny. 
  The origins of animal testing can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers like Aristotle and Erasistratus conducted rudimentary experiments on animals to study anatomy and physiology. Over centuries, as medicine and technology advanced, the scope and complexity of animal testing expanded. By the 19th and 20th centuries, animal experimentation had become an institutionalized component of biomedical research, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries such as vaccines, antibiotics, and surgical techniques. 
  Today, animal testing is pervasive across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. It is primarily used to evaluate the safety of products, ensure regulatory compliance, and develop new treatments for diseases. Animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, and primates are commonly employed because of their physiological similarities to humans, which researchers argue make them suitable models for studying human biology.

  We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
   
   
   
  A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.

  The Human-Agent Orchestrator -...

  From the authors of a Forbes "Top 10 Must-Read Tech Book" for 2025. 
   
  “The magic isn’t in bigger AI models, it’s in Orchestration.” 
  —Andrew Ng, Founder, DeepLearning.AI and Coursera 
  “The era of the user is ending. The era of the Orchestrator has begun.” 
  —Marshall Goldsmith, two-time Thinkers50 #1 Global Leadership Thinker 
   
  We are the last generation to manage only humans. The next will manage hybrid teams of humans and AI agents. Most leaders are not ready. 
   
  The rare organizations achieving 200% productivity gains from AI are not using better technology than those achieving 20%. They are managing it differently. 
  The authors learned this from failure. Across many AI deployments, the pattern became clear: capable agents failed not from weak technology, but from a missing management layer. 
  Human-Agent Orchestration is that layer: a new discipline for designing, directing, and scaling work across humans and AI agents. Built from four years of research across 432 organizations and hard lessons learned in the field. 
   
  Not how to build AI agents. How to lead them.  
  Not another tool. A new management discipline. 
   
  What you will learn: 
  • The 70/30 Rule: which management skills transfer to agents, and which will quietly sabotage your team. 
  • The Supervision Trap: why the way you currently work makes you the bottleneck instead of the leader. 
  • The Orchestration Design Canvas: six layers to build a system that runs without you: Source, Success, Safety, Steering, Switch, and Sharpen. 
  • The Autonomy Dial: when to give agents the keys, and when to keep humans at the wheel. 
  • Default Governance: agents do not take control. Humans abdicate it. 
  • The Identity Shift: how to save your team from Scope Collapse, Mastery Vacuum, and Purpose Drift. 
   
  This book is for leaders using AI, deploying agents, and trying to scale impact without scaling chaos. 
   
  Old leadership controlled the work. New leadership designs the system that produces it.
