  A professional tree climber encounters gorillas, snakes, spiders, and birds of prey, as well as answers and perspective, hundreds of feet up, all over the world 
  Every child knows the allure of climbing trees. But how many of us get to make a living at it, spending days observing nature from the canopies of stunning forests all around the world? 
  As a wildlife cameraman for the BBC and National Geographic, James Aldred spends his working life high up in trees, poised to capture key moments in the lives of wild animals and birds. Aldred's climbs take him to the most incredible and majestic trees in existence. In Borneo, home to the tallest tropical rain forest on the planet, just getting a rope up into the 250-foot-tall trees is a challenge. In Venezuela, even body armor isn't guaranteed protection against the razor-sharp talons of a nesting Harpy Eagle. In Australia, the peace of being lulled to sleep in a hammock 25 stories above the ground—after a grueling day of climbing and filming—is broken by a midnight storm that threatens to topple the tree. 
  In this vivid account of memorable trees he has climbed ("Goliath", "Apollo", "Roaring Meg"), Aldred blends incredible stories of his adventures in the branches with a fascination for the majesty of trees to show us the joy of rising—literally—above the daily grind, up into the canopy of the forest.

  Averting Catastrophe - Decision...

  The world is increasingly confronted with new challenges related to climate change, globalization, disease, and technology. Governments are faced with having to decide how much risk is worth taking, how much destruction and death can be tolerated, and how much money should be invested in the hopes of avoiding catastrophe. Lacking full information, should decision-makers focus on avoiding the most catastrophic outcomes? When should extreme measures be taken to prevent as much destruction as possible?Averting Catastrophe explores how governments ought to make decisions in times of imminent disaster. Cass R. Sunstein argues that using the "maximin rule," which calls for choosing the approach that eliminates the worst of the worst-case scenarios, may be necessary when public officials lack important information, and when the worst-case scenario is too disastrous to contemplate. He underscores this argument by emphasizing the reality of "Knightian uncertainty," found in circumstances in which it is not possible to assign probabilities to various outcomes. At once an approachable introduction to decision-theory and a provocative argument for how governments ought to handle risk, Averting Catastrophe offers a definitive path forward in a world rife with uncertainty.

  Chesapeake Reflections - Stories...

  One man celebrates and laments his family’s connection to a disappearing paradise of natural wildlife and beauty on the shores of Chesapeake Bay.   Between the Indian and Dividing Creeks, near the mouth of the Rappahannock River in Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay, sits a parcel of land called Bluff Point. Like most bay-front villages, the bountiful resources and majestic landscape of this area that once sustained watermen and sportsmen alike have been depleted as over-harvesting, poaching, pollution and continued development have taken their toll, threatening the very legacy of its people.   J. H. Hall’s family first settled on this land shortly after the Civil War, where they maintained a tradition of farming, fishing and crabbing throughout the twentieth century. Hall’s words flow as splendidly as the tides in this collection of personal reminisces and local and natural history honoring the lives of the watermen before him and the uncertainty surrounding those today.

  A guided meditation designed to help you live your life, your way. 
  Congratulations. You have made the choice to take charge and be the leader in your life. You are choosing to stop allowing others to lead and, instead, live your life on your terms. 
  Awesome! 
  To do that you will need to shift your mindset.  
  In this guided meditation, you will move past the fears that have held you back. You will move past the opinions of those around you and follow your heart and your head.  
  Live Life On Your Terms has been designed carefully to erase the negative thoughts that block you from taking control over your life so that you can finally be the master of your own destiny. 
  This guided meditation comes with two valuable ‘extras’: 
  1.	2 different endings. Besides the actual guided meditation itself, you will receive a choice of a ‘sleep’ or ‘wake’ ending depending on whether you are listening in the morning or evening. 
  2.	A deep sleep music track. If you choose a sleep ending, this track will help deepen your sleep after you have completed your meditation session.  
  Hi:) I’m Amy Applebaum. And I’m really glad you are here! 
  As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’. 
  Success is first and foremost an Inside Job. 
  I have seen it in my own life 
  I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs. 
  Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so. 
  We are giving so much to the world around us. 
  But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat. 
  And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation. 
  And I make doing meditation dead easy.My MOVE collections are guided meditations. 
  You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation. 
  All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep!Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and destress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck. 
  So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted! 
  “This is truly amazing I feel so relaxed, confident and in charge of my own life.  Thank you for this amazing piece of work.” ~ Colinwest15 
  Isn’t it time? 
  Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from living your life, your way? 
  And it’s so easy. 
  Just put the earbuds in and listen. 
  Nothing simpler. 
  All you need to do to open the door to living life on your terms (the EASY way) 
  is waiting for you here.
