  The Naked Neanderthal - A New...

  What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different—and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. 
   
   
   
  Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. 
   
   
   
  A thought-provoking adventure story, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history—and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.

  Gen Z's first "existential toolkit" for combating eco-guilt and burnout while advocating for climate justice. 
   
   
   
  A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The "climate generation"—late millennials and iGen, or Generation Z—is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire outcomes predicted by climate science. Those inheriting our planet's environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise when they confront this seemingly intractable situation. 
   
   
    
  Drawing on a decade of experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an "existential tool kit" for the climate generation. Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is the essential guidebook for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time.

  Dispossessing the Wilderness -...

  National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal. By contrasting the native histories of these places with the links between Indian policy developments and preservationist efforts, this work examines the complex origins of the national parks and the troubling consequences of the American wilderness ideal. The first study to place national park history within the context of the early reservation era, it details the ways that national parks developed into one of the most important arenas of contention between native peoples and non-Indians in the twentieth century.

  The Promise of Psychedelics -...

  "Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Peter Silverstone was a young MD who took up a new position in psychopharmacology research at Oxford University. Since then, the field has bloomed into a spectrum of possibilities that include the use of psychedelics as a treatment for depression, addiction, PTSD, grief, and anxiety. The Promise of Psychedelics is for you—if you or someone you know has not received successful treatment despite trying several mental-health therapy programs and medication. You are not alone: one in five adults suffer mental-health issues that impact their functioning. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, cannabinoids, and LSD can cause profound, intense changes—not only in what we experience but how we think, how we feel, and what we do. Dr. Silverstone avoids scientific language whenever possible, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. You’ll be introduced to the most recent advances in our understanding of psychedelics: what they are, how they work, what the risks are, and which ones will transform mental-health treatment for millions of patients. You’ll gain an understanding of the complexity of the regulatory approval process and why it takes so long for some of these psychedelics to become legal for therapeutic use. You’ll walk away from The Promise of Psychedelics with a big dose of hope if you’ll pardon the pun. The good news is that we’re on the cusp of a revolution in mental health—one offering hope that many just might soon see the end of mental illness."

  Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

  Ball Lightning is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings of these weird balls. 
  It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
  St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon are included too. 
  There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
  My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
  In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
  This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
