Sinossi

"South" by Sir Ernest Shackleton is not merely a tale of Antarctic exploration; it is an extraordinary testament to Shackleton's unparalleled leadership in the face of unimaginable adversity. As the captain of the ill-fated Endurance expedition, Shackleton's remarkable leadership style emerges as the true hero of this epic narrative.

In the icy grip of the Antarctic, Shackleton faced challenges that would break the spirit of most men. Yet, his unwavering determination and extraordinary ability to inspire and unite his crew elevated him to the ranks of legendary leaders. Shackleton's leadership was not just about making strategic decisions; it was about instilling hope, fostering resilience, and leading by example in the harshest conditions on Earth.

His ability to maintain composure and optimism during the most dire circumstances became a guiding light for his crew. Shackleton's leadership was characterized by adaptability and resourcefulness, as he navigated the crew through the treacherous and unpredictable Antarctic environment. His decisions were not only pragmatic but also infused with a deep sense of empathy and concern for the well-being of his team.

The narrative of "South" is a testament to Shackleton's unparalleled leadership qualities, showcasing his ability to transform a dire situation into a remarkable story of survival. His leadership legacy is not just etched in the frozen landscape of Antarctica but in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to endure the journey with him. "South" stands not just as a historical account but as a timeless tribute to the indomitable spirit of Shackleton, the extraordinary leader who triumphed against all odds.

    A broad ranging how-to guide through permaculture gardening and community development, with articles about gardening in rough environments and anecdotes about using the garden in school, built up from a local gardening newspaper column. 
    “”If ever a mortal heard the word of god, it would be in a garden at the close of day.” 
    I first read that quote in Civ. 
    Over the years, I’ve learned more and more about the natural world. In many ways, it was a natural outgrowth of both my philosophical approach and my inclination for teaching. 
    It's a matter of a development-orientation, which comes down to watch, experiment and learn. Gardening, as presented here, is more than just growing things; it’s teaching and learning, in the most practical and natural possible way. It’s called natural science for a reason. 
    Collected herein are a series of gardening columns (written for the local newspaper), tips on companion planting and permaculture, short stories of our in-school gardening projects, and other info that’ll give you a rounded idea of how to operate your garden as a space for growing, whether that’s veggies and wildlife or confidence and education.

    In late April 1902, Mount Pelée, a volcano on the Caribbean island Martinique, began to wake up. It emitted clouds of ash and smoke for two weeks until violently erupting on May 8. Over 30,000 residents of St. Pierre were killed; they burned to death under rivers of hot lava and suffocated under pounds of hot ash. Only three people managed to survive: a prisoner trapped in a dungeon-like jail cell, a man on the outskirts of town, and a young girl found floating unconscious in a boat days later. 
    So how did a town of thousands not heed the warnings of nature and local scientists, instead staying behind to perish in the onslaught of volcanic ash? Why did the newspapers publish articles assuring readers that the volcano was harmless? And why did the authorities refuse to allow the American Consul to contact Washington about the conditions? The answer lies in politics: With an election on the horizon, the political leaders of Martinique ignored the welfare of their people in order to consolidate the votes they needed to win. 
    A gripping and informative book on the disastrous effects of a natural disaster coupled with corruption, The Day the World Ended reveals the story of a city engulfed in flames and the political leaders that chose to kill their people rather than give up their political power.

    “We are matter and long to be received by an Earth that conceived us, which accepts and reconstitutes us, its children, each of us, without exception, every one. The journey is long, and then we start homeward, fathomless as to what home might make of us.” —from The River You TouchWhen Chris Dombrowski burst onto the literary scene with Body of Water, the book was acclaimed as “a classic” (Jim Harrison) and its author compared with John McPhee. Dombrowski begins the highly anticipated The River You Touch with a question as timely as it is profound: “What does a meaningful, mindful, sustainable inhabitance on this small planet look like in the anthropocene?”He answers this fundamental question of our time initially by listening lovingly to rivers and the land they pulse through in his adopted home of Montana. Transplants from the post-industrial Midwest, he and his partner, Mary, assemble a life based precariously on her income as a schoolteacher, his as a poet and fly-fishing guide. Before long, their first child arrives, followed soon after by two more, all “free beings in whom flourishes an essential kind of knowing […], whose capacity for wonder may be the beacon by which we see ourselves through this dark epoch.” And around the young family circles a community of friends—river-rafting guides and conservationists, climbers and wildlife biologists—who seek to cultivate a way of living in place that moves beyond the mythologized West of appropriation and extraction.Moving seamlessly from the quotidian—diapers, the mortgage, a threadbare bank account—to the metaphysical—time, memory, how to live a life of integrity—Dombrowski illuminates the experience of fatherhood with intimacy and grace. Spending time in wild places with their children, he learns that their youthful sense of wonder at the beauty and connectivity of the more-than-human world is not naivete to be shed, but rather wisdom most of us lose along the way—wisdom that is essential for the possibility of transformation.The River You Touch Audiobook read by Jeffrey Foucault is available everywhere you listen to audiobooks.
