  The Twilight Forest - An Elegy...

  With their towering, cinnamon-colored trunks and dusky green canopies, ponderosa pine has long been a charismatic icon of the American West. Yet a quiet unraveling has begun: in the past decade, in a vast area from Santa Fe to the Sierras, more than two hundred million ponderosa have died. While some trees will survive in cooler places, scientists estimate that by mid-century less than five percent of the ponderosa in the American Southwest may remain. As the very character of this vast region shifts, what will be left behind? And how can we come to terms with such profound loss?In The Twilight Forest, Gary Ferguson brings listeners on an expansive journey through the ponderosa forests of the Southwest both to mourn—and to celebrate—the forests that nurtured him. In warm and luminous storytelling, Ferguson weaves together the human and natural history of ponderosa, from its march across the West more than 10,000 years ago, to centuries of artists inspired by its dazzling stature and shady passageways. Both wildfire and climate change are constant presences on this journey. Fire is necessary for healthy forests but has turned deadly, while climate change stresses even the hardiest beings of the natural world. Yet the story of ponderosa reminds us that loss can be a gateway to connection—to nature and each other.

  Screens Are The New Crack - How...

  Kalil Laichi

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  A screen can be useful and still take too much. 
   
  That is the problem SCREENS ARE THE NEW CRACK is built to solve. 
   
  This is not an anti-technology book. It argues that the real danger begins when digital systems repeatedly override intention and displace sleep, movement, daylight, deep focus, conversation, play, and real-world experience. 
   
  Drawing on research across attention, sleep, physical activity, mental health, vision, childhood development, and behavioral design, Kalil Laichi builds a whole-life model of screen risk. 
   
  You will learn why raw “screen time” is too simplistic, how algorithms and disappearing stopping cues make capture easier, why children face a different risk profile from adults, and why uncertainty should not be confused with either safety or danger. 
   
  The book introduces: 
   
  • CHOSEN vs CAPTURED — the difference between using technology deliberately and being pulled into it. 
   
  • THE SCREEN RISK MAP — Dose, Content, Capture, Vulnerability, Timing, Context, and Displacement. 
   
  • DEVELOPMENTAL DEBT — a model for what children may practice less when screens replace the experiences that build them. 
   
  • THE LIFE THEFT EQUATION — how captured daily hours can compound into years of waking life. 
   
  • THE SCREEN RECLAIM METHOD — a practical system to diagnose capture, create friction, run experiments, rebuild neglected capacities, reinvest recovered time, and govern technology without rejecting it. 
   
  This book is for adults, parents, students, knowledge workers, and anyone who has ever wondered whether they were still using the screen — or whether the screen had begun using them. 
   
  The goal is not less technology for its own sake. 
   
  The goal is a life in which technology is chosen — not the thing doing the choosing.

  Reaching the Moon: The History...

  The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
  At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.
