Synopsis

Wild Foraging explores the deep-rooted history of humanity's connection with the natural world through foraging. It examines how different societies have historically relied on wild plants for food, medicine, and materials, highlighting the ecological knowledge that underpinned these practices. The book emphasizes that foraging is more than just a primitive skill; it's a sophisticated system of ecological understanding and cultural practice essential for sustainable living.

 
Did you know that Paleolithic societies possessed an intimate knowledge of edible and medicinal plants, forming the basis of early diets and healthcare? Or that traditional Chinese medicine has deep roots in the use of foraged medicinal herbs? 

 
The book journeys chronologically, starting with hunter-gatherer societies and moving through the development of agriculture to the impact of globalization on foraging. It also looks at the modern resurgence of interest in foraging. Through case studies from various regions, Wild Foraging illustrates the diverse ways societies have utilized wild plants, from crafting textiles to incorporating wild mushrooms into indigenous diets. It's unique in its historical perspective, focusing on the evolution of foraging and its cultural and ecological dimensions.

 
The book progresses by first introducing plant identification and ethical harvesting, then exploring case studies, and finally offering practical insights for contemporary foragers.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the East Indies from 1 January to 22 July 1942. 
    On 7 December 1941 Japan turned its war on the Asian mainland south and eastward into the Pacific. Attacks within hours on the Malay Peninsula, Hong Kong, Hawaii, Wake, Guam, and the Philippines not only shocked Allied governments, who believed Japanese envoys had been negotiating in good faith in Washington, but also caught them poorly prepared for war along the Asian rimlands. By the end of the day a sizable Japanese amphibious force had established itself on the Malay Peninsula; the backbone of the U.S. Pacific Fleet lay twisted and burning in the mud of Pearl Harbor; hundreds of Western aircraft sprawled crumpled on airfields and hillsides across the Central and South Pacific; and neither the British Eastern Fleet nor Royal Netherlands Navy units in the Pacific could steam safely through the Indian Ocean, around Malaya, or in the East Indies. It was imperative that the Western Powers somehow stop the Japanese southward advance, which now threatened to drive a wedge between the British in the Indian Ocean and the Americans in the Pacific, to seize the East Indies with its valuable natural resources, and to isolate Australia from both the United States and the British Commonwealth...

    How do you know if you're going through a setback? And once you realize you're in one, how do you work through it? 
     
     
     
    Some of the world's most prominent leaders attribute their setbacks to the reason they found success. Their lowest moments paved the way for their creative rebirth. Through the four phases of The Setback Cycle—Establish, Embrace, Explore, and Emerge—Amy Shoenthal guides listeners on how to make sense of their experiences, gain clarity on what comes next, and move confidently into future endeavors. That framework, developed through research and conversations with scholars, psychologists, neuroscientists, and executive coaches is supported through the deeply personal stories of founders and leaders like fashion icons Stacy London and Norma Kamali, fitness instructors Robin Arzón and Kendall Toole, chef Palak Patel, non-binary beauty influencer Cyrus Veyssi, and inspirational founders like Cate Luzio, Erica Taylor, Amanda Goetz, and more. 
     
     
     
    Whether you're stuck in a rut after a breakup or trying to navigate an unexpected professional transition, The Setback Cycle offers guidance on how to take yourself through your toughest moments and forge a stronger path forward.
