Summary

Land Defenders Fight explores how indigenous communities are at the forefront of environmental protection and are challenging political inequities. It highlights the crucial role of indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice in land protection movements, arguing that these communities possess invaluable ecological knowledge essential for genuine environmental sustainability. The book showcases how centuries of colonization and resource exploitation have fueled present-day conflicts over land rights, emphasizing the need to recognize indigenous self-determination.

 
The book progresses through three sections: historical context, global case studies of indigenous-led resistance against resource extraction, and policy recommendations for supporting these efforts. Through legal documents, research, and interviews, the book avoids romanticizing indigenous cultures, instead providing a nuanced portrayal of their struggles.

 
Readers will gain insights into the legal, political, and cultural dimensions of these movements, understanding both their successes and the challenges they continue to face.

The Ancient Underground Wall in...

Martin K. Ettington

The underground rock wall in Rockwall, Texas has fascinated me for years.  
I’ve read everything I could online about it. Recently I moved from Los Angeles to Denton, Texas which is only about an hour drive from Rockwall. So I went there and spent an hour with the Rockwall County Museum Curator and learned a lot more about the structure. 
Was also able to examine and take pictures of the wall section moved from the actual wall and reconstructed outside the museum. 
In this book I’ve related the history of the wall’s discovery, excavations, interesting items and structures found on or near the wall, and information about possible giants who might have built it. 
There are a lot of unanswered questions about this structure which still need to be learned. Those questions are listed near the end of this book.

Restoring Eden - Unearthing the...

Elizabeth D. Hilborn

All spring, Dr. Elizabeth Hilborn watched as her family fruit farm of many years became increasingly diminished, suffering from a lack of bees. 
 
 
 
The plentiful wildlife, so abundant just weeks before, was gone. Everything was still, silent. 
 
 
 
As an environmental scientist trained to investigate disease outbreaks, she rose to the challenge. Despite facing headwinds from skeptical neighbors, environmental experts, and agricultural consultants, she'd assembled information. 
 
 
 
The chemicals found in her water samples showed beyond any doubt that not only her farm, but her greater farming community, was at risk from toxic chemicals that traveled with rain water over the land and deep within the soil. 
 
 
 
Even as a scientist, she'd been unaware of the risks to life from some common agricultural chemicals. Her goal was to protect her farm and the animals who lived there. 
 
 
 
But first she had to convince her rural neighbors of the risk to their way of life, too. 
 
 
 
A lyrical celebration of nature by a passionate citizen scientist who felt called to advocate for the land, earth, and creatures who don't have a voice, Restoring Eden ultimately offers hope that citizens can create change, that reform is possible.

Brian Boru - Biography of a...

Kelly Mass

Brian Boru, one of medieval Ireland’s most celebrated figures, was an Irish king who played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s history. He is best known for ending the centuries-long dominance of the Uí Néill over the High Kingship of Ireland and resisting the Viking invasions that had threatened Irish sovereignty. Brian’s rise to power built upon the efforts of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and his older brother, Mathgamain mac Cennétig, solidifying his place as one of Ireland’s most effective and unifying leaders.  
Brian’s initial ascent began as the King of Munster. From there, he expanded his influence, conquering Leinster and ultimately claiming the title of High King of Ireland. His legacy includes founding the O’Brien dynasty, which played a significant role in Irish history long after his death. During his time, Ireland’s population was fewer than 500,000, yet it was fragmented into more than 150 small kingdoms. Brian’s ability to unify such a fractured land set him apart as a leader.
