  As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
   
   
   
  With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
   
   
   
  In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  When the Last One Fell Silent: Stories of Extinct Creatures is a haunting yet deeply human exploration of extinction—told not as dry statistics, but as a series of vivid portraits that bring lost creatures back to life through story, imagery, and reflection. From the island forests where dodos once waddled without fear, to the endless skies once blackened by passenger pigeons, to the misty rainforests where golden toads shimmered like jewels, each chapter of this book immerses readers in the world as it once was—and as it might never be again. 
  Extinction is as old as life itself, but in the last few centuries its rhythm has changed. Where once climate, asteroids, and ice shaped life and loss, today extinction bears the clear mark of one species—our own. This book moves tenderly through history, telling the stories of animals we have lost: the thylacine of Tasmania, hunted more by rumor than truth; the great auk and Steller’s sea cow, slaughtered out of utility and curiosity; the Pyrenean ibex, which briefly flickered back into life through cloning before disappearing again; the mammoths, whose heavy footfalls once trembled across frozen steppes; and the baiji dolphin, the gentle goddess of the Yangtze, drowned beneath the noise of factories and boats. 
  Each chapter does more than recount the facts of extinction. It lingers on the silences that follow. Silence of forests once filled with birds. Silence of oceans where seals no longer bark. Silence of mountains where goats no longer leap. Readers are invited not only to see the loss but to feel it—the grief of the final call, the heaviness of absence, the weight of knowing that these lives were here, and now they are not. 
  At the same time, When the Last One Fell Silent is not simply an elegy. It is also a mirror and a warning. Chapters on myths and legends show how humans carry the memory of vanished animals in stories of dragons, thunder birds, and mermaids.

  This book explains the properties for each type of spring, plus essential materials and methods. Few mechanical devices are entirely devoid of springs of one sort or another, but satisfactory operation rests on details such as spring strength and degree of movement. Yet information on calculating and making springs is not easily available. Designing springs can be difficult due to the number of variables and the complexity of the formula. The book also introduces the designer to charts and nomograms, which greatly simplify the process. Topics include tension and compression spring principles, compression and spring design, examples for winding coil springs, how to design, make, and coil a leaf spring, torsion spring, and I.C. engine valve springs.

  Just Following Orders -...

  How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.
