  Before he became one of America’s most influential environmental voices, John Muir was a curious Scottish immigrant boy growing up on the Wisconsin frontier. This honest and vivid memoir traces his journey from a strict religious upbringing to the early stirrings of a lifelong love for nature. 
  In simple yet moving detail, Muir recalls farm life, his inventive mechanical creations, and the challenges of a hard pioneer existence. What shines through is his relentless curiosity about the natural world and the quiet strength that would later shape the U.S. conservation movement. 
  A compelling read for fans of nature writing, American history, and personal memoirs, this book offers a glimpse into the early mind of the man who helped inspire the creation of Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Club.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if the comforts of modern life are quietly harming the youngest among us? 
  In “Autism and Standard of Living”, Zivota Nikolic takes a bold step outside conventional medical thinking to explore how contemporary living spaces and environmental design may be contributing to the alarming rise in autism diagnoses. Drawing on years of independent research, Nikolic examines how poor ventilation, sealed environments, and rising carbon dioxide levels in homes, hospitals, and schools could be impacting early brain development—especially in infants and toddlers. 
  This book doesn’t attempt to replace scientific consensus but instead invites a closer look at what has long been overlooked. Nikolic blends architecture, environmental science, and developmental biology to present a compelling case for rethinking the way we live, sleep, and raise our children. He questions the design of baby cribs, the configuration of HVAC systems, and the very standards by which modern buildings are constructed. 
  If you’ve ever wondered why autism rates have surged in recent decades despite advances in medicine, this thought-provoking investigation offers a fresh lens. With clarity, logic, and urgency, “Autism and Standard of Living” challenges readers to see the unseen—and consider practical solutions rooted in simple changes to our surroundings. 
  This is not just a book about autism. It is a call to rethink what we call progress.

  A Rare Recording of John R Brinkley

  John R. Brinkley (July 8, 1885 – May 26, 1942) became nationally known as the "goat gland doctor" for his controversial medical practice that promised virility for his male patients. He was a pioneer in radio broadcasting and advertising, as he promoted his services to his large listening audience. 
  Despite detractors and critics in the medical community thoroughly discrediting his methods, Brinkley operated clinics and hospitals in several states for two decades. When opposition from the organized medical community resulted in revocation of his radio and medical license he turned to politics, with two failed runs for the governorship of Kansas.  
  Brinkley's rise to fame and fortune was as precipitous as his eventual fall: At the height of his career he had amassed millions of dollars; yet he died sick and nearly penniless, as a result of a number of malpractice, wrongful death and fraud suits brought against him.

  Purified - How Recycled Sewage...

  In Purified, veteran journalist Peter Annin shows that wastewater has become a surprising weapon in America's war against water scarcity. Annin probes deep into the water reuse movement in five water-strapped states—California, Texas, Virginia, Nevada, and Florida. He drinks beer made from purified sewage, visits communities where purified sewage came to the rescue, and examines how one of the nation's largest wastewater plants hopes to recycle one hundred percent of its wastewater by 2035. At each stop, listeners come face to face with the people who are struggling for, and against, recycled water. While the current filtration technology transforms sewage into something akin to distilled water—free of chemicals and safe to drink—water recycling's challenge isn't technology. It's terminology. Concerns about communities being used as "guinea pigs," sensationalist media coverage, and taglines like "toilet to tap" have repeatedly crippled water recycling efforts. Potable water recycling has become the hottest frontier in the race for expanded water supply options. But can public opinion turn in time to avoid the worst consequences? Purified's fast-paced narrative cuts through the fearmongering and misinformation to make the case that recycled water is direly needed in the climate-change era. Water cannot be taken for granted anymore—and that includes sewage.
