  Shopping All the Way to the...

  A fascinating history of the profitable paradox of the American outdoor experience: visiting nature first requires shopping 
   
   
    
  No escape to nature is complete without a trip to an outdoor recreational store or a browse through online offerings. This is the irony of the American outdoor experience: visiting wild spaces supposedly untouched by capitalism first requires shopping. With consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing and equipment each year as they seek out nature, the American outdoor sector grew over the past 150 years from a small collection of outfitters to an industry contributing more than 2 percent of the nation's economic output. 
   
   
    
  Rachel S. Gross argues that this success was predicated not just on creating functional equipment but also on selling an authentic, anticommercial outdoor identity. In other words, shopping for the woods was also about being—or becoming—the right kind of person. Demonstrating that outdoor culture is commercial culture, Gross examines Americans' journey toward outdoor expertise by tracing the development of the nascent outdoor goods industry, the influence of World War II on its growth, and the boom years of outdoor businesses.

  Drift Into Failure - From...

  What does the collapse of sub-prime lending have in common with a broken jackscrew in an airliner’s tailplane? Or the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the burn-up of Space Shuttle Columbia? These were systems that drifted into failure. While pursuing success in a dynamic, complex environment with limited resources and multiple goal conflicts, a succession of small, everyday decisions eventually produced breakdowns on a massive scale. We have trouble grasping the complexity and normality that gives rise to such large events. We hunt for broken parts, fixable properties, people we can hold accountable. Our analyses of complex system breakdowns remain depressingly linear, depressingly componential - imprisoned in the space of ideas once defined by Newton and Descartes. The growth of complexity in society has outpaced our understanding of how complex systems work and fail. Our technologies have gotten ahead of our theories. We are able to build things - deep-sea oil rigs, jackscrews, collateralized debt obligations - whose properties we understand in isolation. But in competitive, regulated societies, their connections proliferate, their interactions and interdependencies multiply, their complexities mushroom. This book explores complexity theory and systems thinking to understand better how complex systems drift into failure. It studies sensitive dependence on initial conditions, unruly technology, tipping points, diversity - and finds that failure emerges opportunistically, non-randomly, from the very webs of relationships that breed success and that are supposed to protect organizations from disaster. It develops a vocabulary that allows us to harness complexity and find new ways of managing drift.

  Studies In Consciousness - and...

  This is part of the “Lightworker's Log Book Series” that came into existence in 2008, via soul promptings and after a series of life circumstances designed to awaken the author to humanity's true state. Previous publications consisted of choosing titles, arranging content, and taking vast amounts of time to compile an entire book. These days, books are easily birthed by merely tapping into greater aspects of what may be referred to as the author’s ever-changing consciousness. Publications are now compiled in this way by many more authors than ever before. This book is just one example of material stemming from what may be referred to as a more evolved consciousness experiencing and expressing in a field of decreasing duality. 
  As segments of humanity become increasingly chaotic while others experience greater states of consciousness, there comes a time when one asks, “Are we there yet?” STUDIES IN CONSCIOUSNESS and The Breath Of One is designed to explain in, hopefully, easily understood terms the vast separation from Source that humanity chose to experience. It is not meant to create further separations of Consciousness by delving into and examining other planets, galaxies or universes, but to explain how humanity got to the point where it is in the later portion of the twenty-first century, and how it will rise above it. STUDIES IN CONSCIOUSNESS and The Breath Of One began to surface during weeks of daily, multiple deluges of water in September 2025. 
  “Water is the wilderness, the calling, the rally of the soul.” 
  This book contains what the author refers to as “heavy-duty information,” and as does water contains light codes, which necessitate short bursts of reading material to be assimilated chapter by chapter, allowing time between them for full incorporation. 
  The return to Source may not seem instantaneous, but it is already achieved, for separation is impossible in the grand scheme of Source. 
  Read this book to see that it rings true and speaks for itself.
