  How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
   
   
   
  In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
   
   
   
  Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.

  Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples invites the reader to look at the megalithic temples of Malta in an entirely new way. The discovery of the temples’ orientation to Sirius explains with mathematical precision the slight shift in the direction of their axes, caused by the movement of the stars called the Precession of the Equinoxes. The resultant astronomical dating of the temples to the Mesolithic, the period immediately after the last Ice Age, is far older than mainstream archaeology maintains and is on a par with other megalithic sites elsewhere, including Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. These findings turn on its head our conception of the accomplishments of ancient people. Instead of being just primitive cave-dwellers, they were primeval astronomers, whose interest in the sky has left us a legacy we never dreamt existed. 
  From the Foreword by Giovanni Bonello: “This is a disturbing book. The author defines its contents as controversial and its conclusions as surprising. I judge it to be far, but far, more than that. It is disruptive of accepted wisdom and unsettles all we believe we knew of the origin of man in Malta, of the sequences of early civilization and the histories of prehistory – not in Malta alone, but throughout the whole of Europe. I started reading it in awe, at first with a deliberate effort at disbelief. By the time I was approaching the climax of the exposition, I ended as mesmerized as I was perplexed.” 
  (Giovanni Bonello is a human rights lawyer and judge who served at the European Court of Human Rights for 12 years)

  Ancient and carbon-rich, old-growth forests play an irreplaceable role in the environment. Their complex ecosystems clean the air, purify the water, cool the planet, and teem with life. In a time of climate catastrophe, old-growth and other natural forests face existential threats caused by humans―and their survival is crucial to ours.In a bicoastal journey, environmental journalist Lynda V. Mapes connects the present and future of Pacific Northwest forests to the legacy forests of the northeastern United States. Beginning in Oregon and Washington, where old growth supports, and is supported by, the region’s salmon, we meet Jerry Franklin, who led scientists in recognizing and studying the distinctiveness of these majestic spaces. From there, we journey to Vancouver Island, where Indigenous activists and scientists strive to preserve the health of Nuu-chah-nulth traditional homelands amid continued clearcutting. On the East Coast, we see the corduroy patterns of lands that have been logged for generations, leaving industrial carnage along formerly life-filled waterways.Mapes invites us to understand the world where trees are kin, not commodities. The Trees Are Speaking is a must-listen for those with a deep interest in environmental stewardship, Indigenous land rights, and the urgent challenges posed by climate change.

  Beneath our feet lies one of the most complex and essential ecosystems on Earth — a living world that sustains every breath we take and every meal we eat. Yet for decades, we’ve treated soil as mere dirt: something to be dug, paved, poisoned, and forgotten. 
  In Hope in the Humus, Alex Southwick uncovers the hidden life of the ground below us and the extraordinary potential it holds to heal the planet. Travelling from regenerative farms to city gardens and ancient forests, Southwick meets the scientists, growers, and visionaries restoring vitality to the soil — and, in doing so, rebuilding the foundations of climate stability and human wellbeing. 
  Both intimate and expansive, this is a story of renewal — of how, by tending to the smallest organisms in the dark, we might rediscover a deeper relationship with the world above. 
  Gentle, wise, and ultimately uplifting, Hope in the Humus reminds us that recovery begins where life itself began: in the soil.
