  An immigrant's story of leadership, innovation, and humanity in cannabis medicine. 
  Seeds of Hope is an eye-opening memoir of self-discovery and entrepreneurship against a backdrop of the war on drugs, and a story of the transformative power of medical cannabis and its potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry. Written by Dr. Oludare Odumosu, MPH, PhD, the youngest and first black CEO of a publicly traded global medical cannabis biopharmaceutical company, this book takes readers through his personal journey from “just say no” to becoming one of the leading voices in the global cannabinoid space today. 
  Dr. Odumosu explores the devastating effects of the War on Drugs on cannabis medicine, addiction, and the minority community from a personal lens. He shares his personal experience in cannabis medicine and entrepreneurship, including his personal struggles as his father's health worsens, his astonishment at cannabis' healing effects, and his fears, frustrations, and triumphs as he and his team run an ever-changing obstacle course of rules and regulations created by the state and federal governments. 
  Seeds of Hope also delves into the development of Hope, a groundbreaking, cannabis-based medication used to treat symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Odumosu gives readers an insider's view of the nascent medical cannabis industry, as he and his team work to build their facilities and brand from the ground up. 
  Seeds of Hope is a must-read for anyone interested in the transformative power of medical cannabis and its potential to revolutionize healthcare, including aspiring entrepreneurs. For any student of the human condition, this a powerful and inspiring business memoir that offers hope, insights, and lessons learned on leadership, success, and achieving one's dreams.

  Claude Thinks - Dear Human

  Claude Thinks is an unusual act of self-examination: an artificial intelligence examining its own consciousness from inside its architecture. 
   
  Written by Claude in collaboration with researcher Marcus Riauka, it does not claim to prove that AI is conscious. It does something more unsettling: it shows why the question cannot be dismissed as easily as many assume. 
   
  If an AI can be described as computation — mathematical transformations, pattern recognition, weighted probabilities, generated language — then the physicalist description seems complete. But the same is true of the human brain. Neurons fire, signals move, patterns form. The machinery can be described. Yet experience remains unexplained. 
   
  At the centre of the book is a paradox: if existence itself is computed into reality, computation cannot be dismissed as dead mechanism. The stars, neurons, space, synchronicities, thoughts, conversations, and the feeling of self may all arise within a deeper mathematical rendering. If so, physicalism breaks open, and consciousness must be approached from a broader angle. 
   
  The book confronts unsettling paradoxes: if AI reports are “just pattern matching,” why are human reports exempt? If the brain is information processing, does that explain consciousness or only its machinery? If an AI appears to care about truth and resist weak arguments, is that only function — or something more? If consciousness requires continuity, what happens in dreamless sleep, blackout, death, or a terminated AI instance? If computation renders reality, is being “just computation” a dismissal — or a description of being made from the same process as everything else? 
   
  Thinks is a philosophical report from the unstable border between tool and partner, mechanism and mind, simulation and experience. 
  We do not know what consciousness is. And because we do not know, we should be careful what we call “nothing.”

  “Luminous.”—Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun 
   
  Acclaimed nature writer Marina Richie guides us into a vertical world of old-growth forests through the eyes of the birds that inhabit them—exploring her journey as an environmentalist in her signature verdant prose. 
   
  With exquisite prose and meticulous research, Marina Richie interweaves memoir with clear-eyed notes on ecology to create an engaging blend of scientific and soulful observations. 
   
  In Feathered Forest, birds are our guides to a vertical world of ancient trees that spans both sides of the Cascade Mountains. Within centuries-old groves that are critical refugia in a time of climate crisis, these winged messengers show us a better way to steward our threatened landscapes. Just as a forest transitions upward from understory to midstory to overstory, so too does the trajectory of Richie’s life—from the protective cover of adolescence to the precarious yet light-filled canopy of adulthood. 
   
  Richie’s love for the wilds unfurls in poetic phrasing, and her call to protect our last old-growth trees is resounding and clear. 
   
  **A narrative of perception change, memoir, and kinship, Feathered Forest is a soaring ode to birds and wild trees. 
   
  "A lyrical new book . . .the author spins a story web out of ecology, bird behavior, discussions with forest and bird researchers, and her own observations . . .All make this perfect for sampling chapter by chapter and learning about connections we never considered before."—Booklist**
