Summary

Hutto is living in a tent at twelve thousand feet, where blizzards occur in July and where human wants become irrelevant and human needs can become a matter of life and death—to study the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The population of these rare alpine sheep is in decline. The lambs are dying in unprecedented numbers. Hutto’s job is to find out why.For months at a time, he follows the bighorn herds, meets mountain lions and bears, weathers injury and storms, and beautifully observes the incredible splendor of the Rocky Mountains.Hutto has a deep connection to Wyoming, having managed a large cattle ranch in his past. He weaves Wyoming’s history of the cowboy, mountain ecology, and the lives of the bighorn sheep into a beautiful flowing narrative. Ultimately, he discovers that the lambs are dying of cystic fibrosis due to selenium deficiency, which is caused by acid rain—a grim ecological disaster caused by human pollution. Here is a new twist on a cautionary tale, and a new voice, eloquently expressing the urgency that we mend our ways.

    Ethereum is the Future!Discover every secret about the most clever cryptocurrency!When Ethereum hit 1000$ in December 2017, the media started to give the cryptocurrency the right credits. Finally, after almost 9 years where the attention was just on Bitcoin, it seems that the coverage has now shifted towards what many call "the clever crypto". However, it is undeniable that Ethereum remains an unknown subject to most people. Sure, many "investors" have entered the game in the last couple of months, but how much do they know about the project behind ETH? This is what inspired the writing of this book. Knowing that there are people still seeing Ethereum as a Bitcoin clone hurts, especially for those who believe in it from a logical and conceptual standpoint. With his flawless style and his profound knowledge, Corey managed to put together a simple yet efficient approach to introduce people to the world of Ethereum.

    The era after World War II saw America’s urban planners treat the lives of city-dwellers with disdain. It spawned a philosophy of urban renewal that valued the efficient movement of cars more than it valued the lives of people, and that wiped out entire neighborhoods dismissed by bureaucrats as slums. Published in 1961, Jane Jacobs’s The Death and Life of Great American Cities examines the shortsightedness and failure of this philosophy. The book turns away from strict statistical study and abstract planning theory in favor of observations of city life as it actually occurs in thriving neighborhoods—and Jacobs’s own Greenwich Village in particular.

Despite being dismissed as “a crazy dame” and being mocked for having no formal training in urban planning, Jacobs led a grassroots movement that was ultimately successful in stopping a typical urban renewal project—the construction of the Lower Manhattan Expressway. The Death and Life of Great American Cities has sold over 250,000 copies, and many urban planners have since gone on to apply Jacobs’s innovative ideas.

    John Berra is no stranger to turning giants. As someone who spent over three decades in the automation community, Berra knows what it’s like to confront major obstacles and leverage then to his advantage. For example, in the mid-1990s, Berra was faced with a unique challenge. The automation industry was at a crossroads, and as President of Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Berra could have played it safe and maintained business as usual. But doing so would have ensured companies like Honeywell would have gained the upper hand. Instead, Berra focused on developing a revolutionary operating system named DeltaV. And in doing so, he led Fisher-Rosemount Systems to disrupt an entire industry. Moves like this set Berra apart from his competitors. On one hand, Berra is one of the most intelligent innovators of his era and there is a reason Intech Magazine named him one of the fifty most influential industry innovators ever. That said, Berra was also incredibly practical and willing to take his share of calculated risks. Because Berra believed is disruptive innovation, he was able to turn giants others were not willing to touch.
