  Saving Ourselves from Big Car

  Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
    
  This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.

  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong is the eighth paradigm-jolting book by the man Britain's Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century, Howard Bloom. 
  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos makes mincemeat of two of science's most cherished laws. And it tells you the tale of this cosmos, this planet, life, climate change, and your role and mine, from a meticulously researched point of view that will make your eyes pop. 
  Says the producer of seven BBC-TV science series including the classic Connections, James Burke, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a triumph...full of surprises." 
  Declares MacArthur Genius Award winner Richard Foreman, The Case Of The Sexual Cosmos is "a massive achievement. Wow!" 
  Adds Harvard's Ellen Langer, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a fascinating read.......[Bloom] argues that we are not savaging the earth as some would have it, but instead are growing the cosmos." 
  Concludes novelist Helen Zuman, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos pulls "us out of Greta Thunberg's self-hate machine" and shows that, "The true tragedy is not war or climate catastrophe. It's rejecting the exuberant flamboyance of exactly who we are."

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Firing the Cloud: How Humanity Survived and Accelerated is a sweeping, provocative journey through 15,000 years of human history tracing how we evolved from small, fire-lit bands of hunter-gatherers to a globally networked civilisation living inside a digital cloud. 
   
  The book explores the great transitions that shaped us: the Agricultural Revolution’s trade of autonomy for stability, the Industrial Age’s relentless acceleration and the Technological Era’s shift from reality to virtuality. Each chapter weaves anthropology, history, and systems thinking to reveal what we gained and what we lost at every turn. 
   
  Thoughtful, urgent and ultimately hopeful, this audiobook challenges listeners to become memory-keepers of the human story and to shape a future that is not only faster, but wiser.

  How resilient is your relationship? Do you and your partner go into "reactivity mode" when a conflict arises? Do you wish you were closer and more connected? 
  We all need healthy, secure relationships in order to thrive—but they can be hard to build and maintain. Where do you start? According to marriage and family therapist Michelle Becker, the answer is with yourself. By learning to practice self-compassion, you are better able to respond to your partner with love and acceptance—even when they inevitably cannot meet your every need. This caring and insightful guide shows you how to stop defaulting to feelings of annoyance, disappointment, or detachment. Instead, using techniques from Becker’s renowned Compassion for Couples program—including guided meditations—you will learn mindfulness, compassion, and other skills that bring you closer to your partner and enrich your lives together. For happy couples looking to strengthen their relationship, or those facing obstacles, Becker leads the way to greater trust, mutual understanding, and a renewed sense of warmth.
