  Do you want to change the world but wonder if there's any point trying?
  Are you unsure what you can offer, or don't feel that you fit the activist mould?
  Do you think activists can be self-righteous, even oblivious to the very people they're trying to help?
  'A wise, rich and crucial book.' George Monbiot
  How Not To Save the World is a book about doing good, for anyone who has looked at politics or public discourse and thought, 'we need better than this.' The fervour that drives us to change the world can create blind spots, where we don't see our own behaviour, or disregard it because the cause is urgent.
  Realistic, candid and hopeful, How Not To Save the World is a sympathetic exploration of alternatives to righteousness, purity traps and other unhelpful habits. It shows that there are ways to work together for what matters, without alienating the people we need to convince.

  Eight Bears - Mythic Past and...

  A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
   
   
   
  Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
   
   
   
  In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.

  Monument Eternal

  Alice Coltrane, Ashley Kahn

  The long-awaited reissue of Alice Coltrane’s original spiritual teachings and reflections, which provide powerful insight into her transcendent music, cherished by millions across the globe.  
  ALICE COLTRANE (1937–2007) was a composer, master of various musical instruments, improviser, spiritual leader, and wife of John Coltrane. Throughout her adult life, she worked within and combined a broad range of musical genres, including gospel, R&B, bebop, free jazz, Indian devotional song, and Western art music. She recorded more than twenty full-length albums for Impulse and Warner Bros. Her music speaks to her experiences as a child playing for church congregations in Detroit; the transcendent and mind-bending avant-garde improvisations she performed with her husband John Coltrane; and her religious pilgrimages to India.  
  When Monument Eternal was originally published in 1977, Alice Coltrane was living in Southern California and had recently become a swami, building and nurturing an alternative spiritual community. In these pages, she says that the book is “based upon the soul’s realizations in Absolute Consciousness and its spiritual relationships with the Supreme One.” Monument Eternal offers deep insight into Coltrane’s tremendous musical output and shines a light on her transformation from Alice McLeod, Detroit church organist and bebopper, to sage thought leader Swami Turiyasangitananda. It also reflects the extraordinary fluidity of American religious customs in the mid- and late-twentieth century.  
  Akashic’s long-awaited reissue of Monument Eternal includes a new foreword by Ashley Kahn.

  Too Good to Be Altogether Lost -...

  Pamela Smith Hill

  Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the well-known Little House series, wrote stories from her childhood because they were "too good to be altogether lost." With the release of NBC's Little House on the Prairie series in 1974, Wilder was well on her way to becoming an international literary superstar. Simultaneously, however, the novels themselves began to slip from view, replaced by an onslaught of assumptions and questions about Wilder's values and politics and even about the books' authenticity. From the 1980s, a slow but steady critical crescendo began to erode Wilder's literary reputation. 
   
   
   
  In Too Good to Be Altogether Lost, Wilder expert Pamela Smith Hill dives back into the Little House books, closely examining Wilder's text, her characters, and their stories. Hill reveals that these gritty, emotionally complex novels depict a realistic coming of age for a girl in the American West. This realism in Wilder's novels, once perceived as a fatal flaw, can lead to essential discussions not only about the past but about the present—and the underlying racism young people encounter when reading today. Hill's fresh approach to Wilder's books shows how this author forever changed the literary landscape of children's and young adult literature in ways that remain vital and relevant today.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Three timeless classics. One powerful collection. Centuries of wisdom you can still use today. 
   
  What if some of the most valuable lessons on strategy, discipline, leadership, self-mastery, and inner peace had already been written hundreds—or even thousands—of years ago? 
   
  Eastern Wisdom Classics: 3-in-1 Bundle brings together three of the most influential works of Eastern thought in one complete audiobook collection: 
   
  Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu. The Art of War by Sun Tzu. The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. 
   
  These are not books meant simply to be admired as ancient philosophy. Their ideas have endured because they speak to problems that never really disappear: conflict, uncertainty, ambition, fear, competition, decision-making, discipline, and the search for a more deliberate way to live. 
   
  In the Tao Te Ching, discover a radically different approach to strength—one built on simplicity, balance, restraint, and understanding the natural flow of life. 
   
  In The Art of War, explore Sun Tzu's legendary principles of strategy, preparation, leadership, timing, and winning intelligently rather than recklessly. 
   
  And in The Book of Five Rings, enter the uncompromising mind of Miyamoto Musashi as he examines mastery, focus, adaptability, and the discipline required to prevail under pressure. 
   
  Three books. Three distinct perspectives. One remarkable body of wisdom. 
   
  Whether you're interested in philosophy, business, leadership, personal development, martial strategy, or simply thinking more clearly about the challenges in front of you, this collection gives you access to ideas that have influenced generations of warriors, thinkers, leaders, and students of human nature. 
   
  You could spend years searching for better principles. Or you could start with the ones that have already survived centuries. 
   
  Start listening to Eastern Wisdom Classics today.
