  The work we do doesn’t define our worth. Imagine a world where justice includes space for rest and leisure, away from the relentless grind created by capitalism, white supremacy, and other oppressive forces. For centuries, these systems have exploited bodies for production, leading to destruction and harm by denying the inherent divinity in every human being. But now, people are waking up to this manipulation, and they’re starting to prioritize rest and healing. 
  America was built on the labor of Black and Indigenous people, whose right to rest was denied. The capitalist system grew out of violence and the theft of labor on plantations. These oppressive systems view human bodies as property, not as divine beings. We've been conditioned to believe we must work endlessly or risk falling into poverty. But there’s more beyond this narrow view.

  The Scariest Planets We've Ever...

  The universe is filled with wonders, but some of its most fascinating worlds are also the most terrifying. While Earth offers stability, warmth, and an atmosphere that sustains life, countless exoplanets lie scattered across the galaxy with conditions that defy imagination. These distant worlds are not just inhospitable—they are the stuff of nightmares.  
    
  The discovery of these hostile planets has revealed just how extreme nature can be. Some are scorched by relentless heat, while others are locked in frozen desolation. Toxic gases, deadly storms, and crushing gravity make these worlds far more menacing than anything we might encounter on Earth. Exploring these terrifying planets is not just about uncovering their horrors; it’s about understanding the universe itself.  
    
  One key factor that determines a planet’s hostility is its proximity to its star. Planets that orbit too close are often scorched by intense radiation, while those too far away freeze in endless darkness. But even planets in stable orbits can become dangerous if their atmospheres are packed with poisonous chemicals or if they experience violent weather patterns. Some worlds are plagued by hurricane-force winds that rip across the surface, while others endure storms of molten glass that shred everything in their path.

  Environmental and Geological Sciences: Forces Shaping the World is a comprehensive guide that examines the dynamic processes and forces responsible for shaping our planet. This 3-in-1 volume delves into the study of Seismology, Volcanology, and Limnology, providing readers with essential knowledge of how natural forces affect the Earth’s surface and its ecosystems. 
  In the first section, Seismology, readers will explore the science of earthquakes, the forces that generate seismic waves, and the tools used to measure and understand these powerful events. This section discusses the Earth’s internal structure, plate tectonics, and how seismic activity is monitored to predict and mitigate the impact of earthquakes, ultimately highlighting the influence of seismic forces on the environment. 
  Next, Volcanology offers an in-depth look at the study of volcanoes and volcanic activity. This section covers the geological processes that lead to the formation and eruption of volcanoes, as well as the environmental and societal consequences of volcanic events. Readers will gain insight into the types of volcanic eruptions, lava flows, and the role of volcanoes in shaping the Earth's landscapes over time. 
  The final section, Limnology, focuses on the study of inland aquatic environments, particularly lakes and rivers. Limnology explores the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of freshwater ecosystems, as well as the human impact on these vital resources. From the study of water quality to the management of freshwater habitats, this section offers essential insights into how freshwater environments are influenced by natural processes and human activities.

  The American Chestnut - An...

  Before 1910 the American chestnut was one of the most common trees in the eastern United States. An important natural resource, chestnut wood was preferred for woodworking, fencing, and building construction, as it was rot resistant and straight grained. The hearty and delicious nuts also fed wildlife, people, and livestock. 
   
   
   
  Ironically, the tree that most piqued the emotions of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Americans has virtually disappeared from the eastern United States. After a blight fungus was introduced into the United States during the late nineteenth century, the American chestnut became functionally extinct. Although the virtual eradication of the species caused one of the greatest ecological catastrophes since the last ice age, considerable folklore about the American chestnut remains. 
   
   
   
  The American Chestnut tells the story of the American chestnut from Native American prehistory through the Civil War and the Great Depression. Davis documents the tree's impact on nineteenth-and early twentieth-century American life, including the decorative and culinary arts. The author also evaluates efforts to restore the American chestnut to its former place in the eastern deciduous forest, including modern attempts to genetically modify the species.
