Phaedo is one of the dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is a philosophical exploration of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the concept of knowledge. The dialogue is set on the day of Socrates' execution, and it recounts the conversation between Socrates and his followers, including Phaedo, about his impending death and their beliefs about the soul. 
Throughout the dialogue, Socrates argues that the soul is immortal and that the pursuit of knowledge is the key to achieving true wisdom. He uses a variety of analogies, including the idea of the soul being like a prisoner trapped in the body, to illustrate his points. Socrates also discusses the theory of Forms, which holds that there is a separate, ideal realm of existence that contains perfect and eternal Forms or Ideas, such as Beauty or Justice, that the physical world merely approximates. 
Phaedo is considered one of Plato's most influential works, and it continues to be studied and debated by philosophers and scholars today. Its themes of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the pursuit of knowledge are central to many philosophical and religious traditions, and its exploration of these concepts continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics.

A spellbinding exploration of the human capacity to imagine the future  
 
Our ability to think about the future is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. In The Invention of Tomorrow, cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley argue that its emergence transformed humans from unremarkable primates to creatures that hold the destiny of the planet in their hands.  
 
Drawing on their own cutting-edge research, the authors break down the science of foresight, showing us where it comes from, how it works, and how it made our world. Journeying through biology, psychology, history, and culture, they show that thinking ahead is at the heart of human nature—even if we often get it terribly wrong. Incisive and expansive, The Invention of Tomorrow offers a fresh perspective on the human tale that shows how our species clawed its way to control the future.

Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
 
 
 
Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
 
 
 
To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

Twenty years since its first publication, this new anniversary edition of the Holocaust memoir of George Salton (then Lucjan Salzman), gives listeners a personal and powerful account of his survival through one of the darkest periods in human history. With heartbreaking and honest reflection, the author shares a gripping first-person narrative of his transformation from a Jewish eleven-year-old boy living happily in Tyczyn, Poland, with his brother and parents, to his experiences as a teenage victim of growing persecution, brutality, and imprisonment as the Nazis pursued the Final Solution. The author takes the listener back in time as he reveals in vivid and engrossing details the painful memories of life in his childhood town during Nazi occupation, the forced march before his jeering and cold-eyed former friends and neighbors as they are driven from their homes into the crowded and terrible conditions in the Rzeszow ghetto, and the heart-wrenching memory of his final farewell as he is separated from his parents who would be sent in boxcars to the Belzec extermination camp. 
 
 
 
This new and substantially reworked twentieth anniversary edition incorporates research based on recently discovered documents related to George Salton's concentration camp experience, a new foreword by Michael Berenbaum, and a new afterword of George Salton's unpublished speeches.
