  'Local is Our Future' by Helena Norberg-Hodge connects the dots between our social, economic, ecological and spiritual crises, revealing how a systemic shift from global to local can address these seemingly disparate problems simultaneously. Distilling the wisdom gleaned from four decades of activism and direct experience in both the global North and South, Helena lucidly deconstructs the old narrative of 'progress' through technological advance and corporate growth, while presenting a concise and compelling case for economic localization. Her arguments are supported by real-world examples proving that – beneath the radar of the mainstream media and far from the fetishized techno-utopia of Silicon Valley – healthy and vibrant futures, built upon connection to nature and community, are already in the making.Endorsements:Bill McKibben' - There is no more important task than re-localizing our economies… And this book will tell you how it's done.'Charles Eisenstein - 'A potent conceptual lens… to reverse the ruin of culture, nature, and place.'David Suzuki - 'The argument for economic decentralization, powerfully and passionately presented in this fine book, is one that we can no longer ignore.'Judy Wicks - 'An essential guidebook, lighting the way towards economies of human and ecological wellbeing.'Iain McGilchrist - 'Localization…is the only hope for the future.

  Glenn Miller: The Life and...

  Though it may be hard to fathom in the wake of Elvis Presley and popular rock bands like the Beatles, the early 20th century featured a burgeoning music sales industry that was dominated in ways that nobody would ever reach again, including the Fab 4. While Elvis and the Beatles had a combined 71 Top 10 hits over their lengthy careers, Glenn Miller had 16 records reach #1, and he compiled 69 Top 10 hits, all in the span of four years before he had turned 40. Like any music pioneer, Miller and his band were often criticized for not being true to the roots of the music they performed, even as they perfected a sound that captivated the country. In short order, Miller and his music influenced legends ranging from Benny Goodman to Louis Armstrong. 
  	Miller was the most popular big band leader in the United States when he walked away from his orchestra to enlist in the U.S. Army. World War II was raging, and Miller was determined to fulfill his patriotic duty, so he assembled a military orchestra to give fellow American servicemen a little taste of the homes they were missing. While based in the United Kingdom in 1944, the military orchestra was granted clearance to perform in Paris, which had been liberated from the Nazis just months before.  
  	Miller planned his own trip across the English Channel to prepare for a few days ahead of the orchestra’s arrival. Miller’s trip had already been postponed by cold, foggy and drizzly weather, but on December 15, 1944 the pilot chose not to let similar conditions delay it again. The plane took off at about 2:00 p.m. from the airstrip at Twinwood Farm, but it never made it to Paris. As Miller himself had once prophetically put it, “I don’t know why I spend my time making plans like this…. I have an awful feeling you guys are going to go home without me, and I’m going to get mine in some goddamn beat-up old plane!”

   “A riveting look at the backstory of what’s in the display cases at your local museum. The author profiles seven historic objects with checkered pasts.” —Library Journal   There are many books about museum heists, Holocaust artwork, insider theft, trafficking in antiquities, and stolen Native American objects. Now, there’s finally a book for the general public that covers the entire terrain.   Stolen, Smuggled, Sold features seven vivid and true stories in which the reader joins the author as she uncovers a cultural treasure and follows its often-convoluted trail. Along the way author and reader encounter a cast of fascinating characters from the underbelly of the cultural world: unscrupulous grave robbers, sinister middlemen, ruthless art dealers, venal Nazis, canny lawyers, valiant academics, unstoppable investigative reporters, unwitting curators, and dedicated government officials. Stories include Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer 1, the typset manuscript for Pearl Buck’s The Good Earth, a ceremonial Ghost Dance shirt from the massacre at Wounded Knee, the theft of 4,800 historical audio discs by a top official at the National Archives, a missing original copy of The Bill of Rights, the mummy of Ramses I, and an ancient treasure from Iraq.   While each story is fascinating in and of itself, together they address one of the hottest issues in the museum world: how to deal with the millions of items that have breaks in the chain of ownership, suspicious ownership records, or no provenance at all. The issue of ownership touches on professional practices, international protocols, and national laws. It’s a financial issue since the illicit trade in antiquities and cultural items generates as much as $4 billion to $8 billion a year.

  The Colonized Inner World -...

  What if the struggles many children face today are not random… but the result of an inner world slowly shaped away from wholeness? 
  In The Colonized Inner World, Denisse Zapata offers a powerful and deeply human exploration of what happens when children are taught to adapt to the world before they are taught to understand themselves. 
  Blending emotional insight, developmental psychology, neuroscience, and the groundbreaking INNERWORLD Framework™, this audiobook reveals how modern systems often disconnect children from their emotions, intuition, identity, and inner authority — shaping lives rooted in performance, suppression, and survival rather than authenticity and connection. 
  But this is not a book about blame or fear. 
  It is a guide back to what is possible. 
  Through compassionate storytelling, transformative insight, and a new vision for human development, Denisse invites parents, educators, and caregivers into a different way of seeing children — not as behaviors to control, but as human beings whose inner world shapes the foundation of who they become. 
  In this audiobook, you will discover: 
  • Why so many children feel emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected 
  • How emotional safety and co-regulation shape lifelong development 
  • The Three Inner Worlds Framework™ and its role in nurturing wholeness 
  • How modern culture conditions disconnection from self 
  • A new paradigm for raising emotionally intelligent, resilient, and authentic human beings 
  Rooted in warmth, wisdom, and emotional truth, The Colonized Inner World is an invitation to protect the humanity within our children — and reconnect with the humanity within ourselves. 
  Because the future is not only shaped by what we teach children. 
  It is shaped by what we protect within them.
