  Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing.A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance.Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson

  Walden

  Henry David Thoreau

  Walden by Henry David Thoreau is a timeless classic of American literature that reflects on the meaning of simple living, self-reliance, and humanity's relationship with nature. First published in 1854, this influential work is both a personal narrative and a philosophical meditation inspired by Thoreau's two-year experiment living in a small cabin near Walden Pond in Massachusetts.
  
  Seeking to escape the distractions and pressures of society, Thoreau set out to live deliberately and discover what life could teach when stripped down to its essentials. In the quiet solitude of the woods, he built his own cabin, grew his own food, and observed the rhythms of nature. Through these experiences, he explored the idea that true fulfillment does not come from wealth or social status but from simplicity, independence, and mindful living.
  
  Throughout Walden, Thoreau shares vivid descriptions of the natural world—the changing seasons, the stillness of the pond, the songs of birds, and the quiet beauty of the forest. These observations are woven together with thoughtful reflections on society, work, consumption, and the pursuit of happiness. With sharp insight and gentle humor, he challenges readers to question the habits and expectations that often lead people away from meaningful lives.
  
  More than a memoir of life in the wilderness, Walden is a philosophical exploration of how individuals can reconnect with both nature and themselves. Thoreau encourages readers to slow down, observe the world more carefully, and live with greater intention and awareness. His reflections emphasize the importance of independence, personal responsibility, and the courage to live according to one's own values.
  
  The book also serves as an early and powerful voice for environmental awareness. Thoreau's deep appreciation for the natural world has inspired generations of readers, writers, and environmental thinkers who see in Walden a call to respect and protect the beauty and balance of nature.
  
  Rich with insight, poetic language, and timeless wisdom, Walden continues to resonate with readers who seek a more thoughtful and purposeful way of life. It is both a celebration of nature and a guide to living simply, reminding us that clarity, peace, and fulfillment can often be found by returning to life's most basic truths.

  In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. 
  Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of “network climate action"―the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change.Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change.With easy-to-follow dos and don’ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.

  Treatise on Light

  Christiaan Huygens

  Treatise on Light was published in 1690 and is probably the largest scientific volume on light published before Newton's Opticks. The book explains how light travels (i.e., that it has a certain velocity), and what happens when it hits a surface (refraction and reflection). A large portion of the book is devoted to the double refraction occurring in Iceland chrystal, and all drawn conclusions are proved geometrically. Christiaan Huygens (1629 - 1695) was a prominent physicist and astronomer. His main discoveries are the centrifugal force, collision laws for bodies and the argument that light consists of waves. He was a contemporary of Galilei and Descartes, and a member of the French Royal Society since 1663. (Summary by Availle)
