  “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
  		 
  From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
  		 
  Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
  		 
  For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

  How teachers teach is not necessarily how learners learn. Educators focus on content delivery, but much of the learning process involves affective and behavioral factors.
  Veteran educators Muriel and Duane Elmer provide a holistic model for how learning takes place. Their learning cycle moves beyond mere recall of information to helping learners value and apply learning in ways that are integrated into behavior and practice. With insights from neuroscience, educationalpsychology, and learning theory, they address how the brain can become more receptive, how emotional environments affect learning, and how learning tasks and experiential exercises can help foster the development of skills and habit formation. They do so in the context of a thoroughly Christian framework that emphasizes not just knowledge, but character, integrity, and wisdom.
  Learning can be accomplished in and beyond the classroom to move from content mastery to life experience. Here aresound avenues for helping your students become the lifelong learners God intends.

  War Is a Racket is a classic short treatise by Major General Smedley D. Butler, one of the most decorated U.S. Marines in American history, turned outspoken critic of war. Drawing on his 34-year military career and firsthand experience in conflicts from the Caribbean to World War I, Butler delivers a powerful critique of how modern wars are driven not by noble ideals but by economic interests that profit from conflict.  
  In this concise but thought-provoking audiobook, Butler argues that war has become a “racket” — a business that enriches corporations, bankers, and industrialists while ordinary citizens and soldiers bear the costs in blood, money, and loss. Through clear language and sharp insight, he explores why wars are fought, who makes the profits, and who pays the bills, and he even lays out practical steps to dismantle the war racket.  
  This unflinching examination of war’s economic drivers remains strikingly relevant decades after its first publication in 1935, making it a compelling listen for anyone seeking to understand the forces behind global conflict.

  It Never Ends With Us

  It Never Ends With Us is a profound exploration of love, trauma, and the illusion of closure. Where most stories stop at survival, this one begins — tracing the invisible echoes of abuse and the emotional residue that lingers long after the last goodbye. Through the lens of modern romance and cultural myth, it questions whether cycles of pain can truly be broken, or if they only transform, adapting to new forms and faces. With philosophical depth and psychological realism, it exposes how society markets empowerment while misunderstanding healing, and how the desire for neat endings betrays the complexity of recovery. This is not a story about endings — it’s a meditation on what remains when the story refuses to end.
