  A galvanizing road trip across California's immense public wilderness from a beloved adventurer. 
   
   
   
  It all began with a camping trip. Outdoor enthusiast Josh Jackson had never heard of "BLM land" before a casual recommendation from a friend led him to a free campsite in the desert—and the revelation that over fifteen million acres of land in California are owned collectively by the people. In The Enduring Wild, he takes us on a road trip spanning thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out every parcel of public wilderness therein belonging to the federal Bureau of Land Management, from the Pacific shores of the King Range down to the Mojave Desert. Over mountains, across prairies, and through sagebrush, Jackson unravels the stories of these lands. He tells of the Indigenous peoples who have called them home for millennia, of the extractivist threats that imperil them today, and of the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to their common defense to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come. For the adventurers, campers, explorers, map readers, road trippers, nature enthusiasts, and public lands lovers out there, The Enduring Wild is an indispensable invitation to know these places more deeply and to embrace our common inheritance.

  Chavín Civilization - The...

  The Chavín civilization, one of the earliest and most influential cultures of ancient Peru, emerged in the Andean highlands around 900 BCE. It was a formative force in pre-Columbian history, laying the groundwork for later civilizations that dominated the region. The rise of Chavín was deeply connected to its strategic location, the innovations of its people, and the unique blend of religious and cultural influences that shaped its identity. 
  The Andean region, with its diverse geography of mountains, valleys, and coastal plains, played a crucial role in the development of early societies. The people who would come to form the Chavín civilization first settled in highland areas, where they mastered agricultural techniques suited to the challenging environment. The cultivation of staple crops such as maize, potatoes, and quinoa allowed for population growth and the establishment of permanent settlements. Llamas and alpacas provided transportation, wool, and meat, further supporting the stability of these early communities. Over time, these settlements evolved into more complex societies, characterized by social hierarchies and specialized labor. 
  One of the key factors that contributed to the emergence of the Chavín civilization was its strategic position at the crossroads of major trade routes. Chavín de Huántar, the civilization’s most important ceremonial center, was located in a valley that connected the coast, highlands, and jungle regions. This prime location allowed Chavín culture to serve as a unifying force in the Andes, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and religious beliefs among different groups. As traders and pilgrims traveled to Chavín de Huántar, they encountered a sophisticated society with an advanced knowledge of art, architecture, and religion, all of which helped spread Chavín influence throughout the region.

  Discover 51 of the most common and not-so-common cat gods, goddesses, deities, and demons from around the world and how to incorporate their Divine Feline Energy into your daily life. Throughout time, felines have played a sacred role in human life. Archeologists have found cat remains buried with humans as far back as the tenth millennium BCE in Cyprus, and the Greek goddess Hecate is said to have regularly assumed the form of a cat. Hieroglyphics tell us that ancient Egyptians worshipped cat gods, and their queen Cleopatra had a kitty companion in her palace whom she called Tivali. A Chinese cat goddess called Li Shou is said to have protected farmers from mice, and Ai Apaec was a pre-Inca god with fangs and whiskers said to have descended from an even more ancient cat god. This book is more than a guide to ancient cat gods. It’s an exploration of the way humans have observed, interacted with, learned from, and revered another species who share the Earth with us. Ancient folklore is rife with examples of animal cunning and compassion, and many humans invoked other species as spiritual guides or flat out worshipped them as gods. Arguably, cats are the most intriguing of animals because of how we can relate to them. Much like us, they are free spirits and adaptable survivors. We admire them for their dignity, independence, and ferocity. In this guidebook, you’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. You’ll also encounter mystical cats who work in alliance with human gods and goddesses. The feline entities come from different eras and cultures all over the world. Some are angelic guides, and others, demonic adversaries, but all play a role in our understanding of feline deities and why they became to be so. Learn all about these sacred godlike creatures, including what they look like, what they symbolize, and how you can use their spirit and ancient wisdom to tap into your own Divine Feline Energy.
