  Lessons Learned - A Teacher &...

  A debut memoirist reflects on his career as a high school teacher and coach in this essay collection...The topics include the author’s experiences coaching multiple sports and the differences between teaching at private versus public schools...Burke eschews a standard chronological narrative for a more reflective approach that positions autobiographical vignettes as metaphors for the themes and lessons that undergirded his career...The text certainly doesn’t glamorize teaching as a profession, and Burke tells his stories with the salty vocabulary of a battle-hardened veteran, but the work warmly acknowledges the inspiration, motivation, and rewarding feelings that come with helping teenagers grow into adults. The book’s final essay, an ode to the poetry of Walt Whitman, offers a powerful defense of the necessity of literature...A well-crafted meditation on teaching that balances comic anecdotes with poignant reflections.–Kirkus Reviews 
  How introspection, philosophy, and heartfelt bullshit can help you reach retirement with your sanity, self-respect, and sense of humor intact. 
  Lessons from a Career Educator: An honest and introspective look at a teacher’s life. From early childhood through his retirement, Burke shares stories and lessons learned that helped him and can help you make it to the finish line. This is not the story of a Magical Teacher. Burke is an average individual working hard to be a good educator by trying first to be a decent person. Most of his anecdotes will make you laugh, some will make you cry (the good cry), a few will make you cringe, but all will make you think.

  - Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry. 
  - They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done. 
  - Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials. 
  - Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized. 
  - Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause. 
  - It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business. 
  - They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock. 
  - We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.  
  - We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities. 
  - I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out. 
  - We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives. 
  - There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging. 
  - Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.  
  - Reduce and reuse packaging. First, eliminate plastic shopping bags.  
  - We can do things differently to change our eating and buying habits.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Discover the critical importance of sleep that modern culture systematically ignores while undermining the rest your body desperately requires for health, cognition, and longevity. This essential audiobook presents the neuroscience and health research revealing sleep as the foundation of all other biological functions rather than optional downtime to be minimized. Learn why sleep deprivation produces effects comparable to intoxication while society celebrates exhaustion as proof of dedication and productivity. The narrator reveals how inadequate sleep causes weight gain, immune dysfunction, cognitive impairment, emotional instability, and increased mortality that accumulate silently until catastrophic failure. Discover the specific biological processes occurring during sleep that cannot happen while awake and why no amount of stimulants can substitute for actual rest. Understand how artificial lighting, screens, shift work, and always-on culture have created an epidemic of sleep deprivation with consequences rarely attributed to their actual cause. This audiobook examines sleep disorders, circadian biology, and the environmental factors destroying sleep quality for millions who never recognize why they feel perpetually depleted. Learn evidence-based strategies for improving sleep quality and quantity that address root causes rather than symptoms. Essential listening for anyone feeling chronically tired, experiencing health problems with mysterious origins, or seeking to understand why rest matters far more than productivity culture admits.

  Analog Superpowers - How...

  At the beginning of the twentieth century, two British inventors, Arthur Pollen and Harold Isherwood, became fascinated by a major military question: how to aim the big guns of battleships. These warships—of enormous geopolitical import before the advent of intercontinental missiles or drones—had to shoot in poor light and choppy seas at distant moving targets, conditions that impeded accurate gunfire. Seeing the need to account for a plethora of variables, Pollen and Isherwood built an integrated system for gathering data, calculating predictions, and transmitting the results to the gunners. At the heart of their invention was the most advanced analog computer of the day, a technological breakthrough that anticipated the famous Norden bombsight of World War II, the inertial guidance systems of nuclear missiles, and the networked “smart” systems that dominate combat today. Recognizing the value of Pollen and Isherwood’s invention, the British Royal Navy and the United States Navy pirated it, one after the other. When the inventors sued, both the British and US governments invoked secrecy, citing national security concerns.
   
  
  Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Analog Superpowers analyzes these and related legal battles over naval technology, exploring how national defense tested the two countries’ commitment to individual rights and the free market. Katherine C. Epstein deftly sets out Pollen’s and Isherwood’s pioneering achievements, the patent questions raised, the geopolitical rivalry between Britain and the United States, and the legal precedents each country developed to control military tools built by private contractors.
   
  
  The America portrayed in this sweeping and accessible history isn’t yet a global hegemon but a rising superpower ready to acquire foreign technology by fair means or foul—much as it accuses China of doing today.
