  One Body: A Retrospective

  Nominated in Scotland’s National Book Awards 
  In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what it’s been like to live in her woman’s body, and to reach the realisation that all that time she’d spent trying to change her body to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely different perspective. 
  By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot together—from period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters. 
  So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was “a nuisance,” she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime. 
  One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is in—to be grateful for her body and all that it does and is.

  What We Owe the Future

  An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism”—that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time 
   
  The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more—or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today. 
    
  In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. 
    
  If we put humanity’s course to right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope, and beauty.

  We cannot continue to educate our children for a world that no longer exists. A glance at any employment website shows a list of job titles unheard of 20 years ago. All of them require some form of lateral thinking as the focus has shifted from mechanical processes to creative solutions. We need to train our brains to break free of habitual, conditioned thought patterns. The puzzles in this book will gradually guide the reader to start seeing information as something to be processed rather than memorized. As we learn to evaluate the facts given critically, we can work out how to fit them together in unexpected ways to achieve different outcomes. We can also improve our ability to communicate our ideas while considering other points of view. Paul D. Pantera is an entrepreneur and US Navy Sailor Senior Enlisted Leader who has trained hundreds of Junior Sailors over his 16+ year career. His goal is to provide parents, educators, and young adults with the tools to bridge the gap between their children’s education and the skills they require in the real world. One of the biggest challenges is problemsolving abilities. He has put together a practical approach to create a basic system to develop a different way of thinking. The Pantheria Life Tools are games, journals, and books with the simple goal of building productive citizens.
