  What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
   
   
   
  Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies. 
   
   
   
  A scrapbook, a family chest, a quilt—a work of historical engagement and literary accomplishment—A Darker Wilderness is a collection brimming with abundance and insight.

  As It Turns Out - No One's Got...

  Have you ever observed someone you admire, and thought, "Wouldn't it be nice to be like them and have my shit together too"? 
  That's something Harv often reflected on in his early years, navigating a plethora of challenges coming from many different angles. 
  Here’s the thing – they’re highly likely to be still working on ‘getting their shit’ together’. However, a few have chosen a unique method of personal and professional development using the Collective Intelligence methodology. They do this with like-hearted others to guide them on their pathway to becoming their true selves and unlocking their potential. And they’re still on their journey. 
  In a world where we are increasingly disconnected and fed information that reinforces our existing views, Collective Itelligence provides that level of connection, challenge, safety and care that nurtures curiosity and can help you on your journey.  
  Our author, Ian (Harv) Harvey, a former sheep, beef and deer farmer, chose a different path in his late 40’s to satisfy an itch that just wouldn’t go away. He established Collective Intelligence, a diverse, human ecosystem that takes inspiration from mother nature to grow more emotionally intelligent leaders. As Harv says, “The gift of not being an expert is that it leaves you so much room to be curious about what the fuck is actually going on, and how we best respond to that”. 
  You’ll be inspired to start your own journey with Harv through his earthy, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, but always true and engaging stories, of his own journey of ‘getting his shit together’. And he’s still not there!

  Through this powerful journey, you’ll meet a young woman whose life unfolds like a prayer — answered slowly, then all at once. Her path is woven with grace, shaped through brokenness, and emboldened by a relentless pursuit of belonging — not just in the world, but in the heart of God. 
  Inspired by moments of clarity and struggle from my own walk with Christ, Angelique carries pieces of my testimony while standing as her own unique voice. Her story will resonate with anyone who has questioned their worth, battled loneliness, or longed for freedom. 
  Let these words speak truth into the quiet places of your heart. May you discover that you are seen, loved, and lifted — not by chance, but by divine design.

  In this deeply personal, accessible compilation of stories and supportive resources, Hannah invites us on her complex journey through a year of poison— the multi-drug, weekly chemotherapy that saved her life. In 2020, Hannah was diagnosed with a rare stage IV cancer that came from her pregnancy, treated during the pandemic at Duke University Hospital. This is a story of cancer, but also of ancestors, parenting, and religious and spiritual questions. This book weaves fascinating narrative with potent integrative resources for finding hope, reclaiming your body, and moving toward spiritual peace through cancer and other difficult experiences. 
  The Platinum is not just an image or metaphor —the spoiler is that there was literal Platinum in the chemotherapy drugs. In the highest way, the key to surviving chemotherapy was embracing the light that was in the poison all along. Hannah teaches us to do this. She shows us through her own story, through the marriage of western and alternative medicine, and through specific materials, modalities, and exercises. Your journey is your own, but Hannah has arrived as a friend—a helper and a guide who has gone there and back again. She brings humor and joyfully readable prose as she untangles her year of cancer and shares spiritual and material resources for growth and healing along the way. 
  Only in the depths of our most painful challenges do we find the resources we need to break free. With them, we are able to illuminate what was unseen and listen to what was unheard. Hannah is here to walk with you toward that liberation.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Explore the disturbing psychology that enables regular people to participate in atrocities, abuse, and crimes they would have considered unimaginable before circumstances aligned to make the unthinkable possible. This challenging audiobook examines how situational factors, authority structures, group dynamics, and incremental escalation transform ordinary individuals into perpetrators of extraordinary harm. Learn from historical analysis, psychological research, and criminal case studies how genocides, torture programs, and mass violence depend on regular people following orders, conforming to groups, or gradually escalating across moral boundaries. The narrator reveals the specific conditions that predict when normal people will commit abnormal acts and why believing yourself immune to such conditions is itself a risk factor. Discover how perpetrators rationalize their actions during and after crimes through psychological mechanisms available to everyone including you. Understand why focusing on individual evil distracts from the systemic factors that reliably produce harmful behavior regardless of who fills available roles. This audiobook draws from Holocaust research, prison studies, and criminal psychology to illuminate the human capacity for cruelty that comfortable circumstances allow us to ignore. Learn what conditions prevented some individuals from participating in collective crimes and what factors strengthened resistance. Essential listening for anyone who wants honest understanding of human nature including its darkest possibilities and how ordinary life can transform into participation in evil.
