    “Probably the most eloquent call to arms we’re likely to hear about the politics of water” (The Globe and Mail, Toronto).   In this “chilling, in-depth examination of a rapidly emerging global crisis,” Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke, two of the most active opponents to the privatization of water show how, contrary to received wisdom, water mainly flows uphill to the wealthy (In These Times). Our most basic resource may one day be limited: Our consumption doubles every twenty years—twice the rate of population increase. At the same time, increasingly transnational corporations are plotting to control the world’s dwindling water supply. In England and France, where water has already been privatized, rates have soared, and water shortages have been severe. The major bottled-water producers—Perrier, Evian, Naya, and now Coca-Cola and PepsiCo—are part of one of the fastest-growing and least-regulated industries, buying up freshwater rights and drying up crucial supplies.   A truly shocking exposé, Blue Gold shows in frightening detail why, as the vice president of the World Bank has pronounced, “The wars of the next century will be about water.”   “Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke combine visionary intellect with muckraking research and a concrete plan for action.” —Naomi Klein, author of The Battle for Paradise   “A sobering, in-depth look at the growing scarcity of fresh water and the increasing privatization and corporate control of this nonrenewable resource.” —Library Journal   “An angry and persuasive account.” —Bloomberg Businessweek   “The dire scenarios laid out in this comprehensive book are truly frightening.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune

    "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" audiobook summary offers a concise yet profound exploration of Yuval Noah Harari's groundbreaking work on the journey of Homo Sapiens. This audio guide captures the essence of Harari's narrative, focusing on the pivotal revolutions that have shaped human history and society. 
    The journey begins with the Cognitive Revolution, a crucial genetic mutation 70,000 years ago that sparked unparalleled cognitive abilities in our ancestors. This was followed by the Agricultural Revolution 12,000 years ago, marking a significant transformation in human society, albeit with unanticipated challenges. The narrative then delves into the Scientific Revolution, which commenced 500 years ago, leading to an era of significant progress in understanding and manipulating the natural world. 
    Harari's work highlights the unique ability of Homo Sapiens to believe in shared myths - gods, states, money - driving large-scale cooperation and culture. However, this capability also brings complex moral dilemmas and challenges. This audiobook summary distills these complex themes into a digestible format, making it an efficient and engaging listen for both those familiar and new to Harari's work. 
    Efficiently curated, this summary focuses on the key messages and insights, providing a tool for reflection and understanding. It is an invitation to contemplate our species' trajectory, achievements, and potential future. This audiobook summary is not just a reduction of the original work; it's a thoughtful exploration of our shared human history, offering insights into our past, present, and future, in a world driven by rapid change and global challenges.

    We all sense intuitively that reality is not a jumbled assortment of unrelated parts, but a dynamic, unified whole. Yet, as fields of knowledge become increasingly complex and specialized, it's often difficult to see how all the parts of this whole truly fit together. In this dialogue with consciousness researcher Allan Combs, we explore the emergence of what he calls "Integral Consciousness."

    The first human spaceflight on 12th April 1961 shocked the West and made cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin the most famous person on the planet. As one of human civilisation’s seminal accomplishments it was borne out of technology designed for weapons of mass destruction. Following the launch of Sputnik in 1957, the Soviet Union charged headlong into the exploration of the Moon, Venus and Mars, demonstrating and honing their weapons of war in the name of science. 
    Three months after his flight, still the only person to have been in Earth orbit, he came to Britain. Declassified confidential and secret government documents reveal for the first time the frantic diplomatic efforts to achieve a balance between celebrating one of humanity’s greatest achievements whilst grappling with the political dynamite of the unprecedented propaganda opportunity of a Soviet air force Major’s success being celebrated first by the Prime Minister and then by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. 
    Chronicled for the first time in these pages are the personal recollections, including never before published pictures, from people in Manchester and London of the impact of this handsome, charismatic cosmonaut who captured the hearts of ordinary working people in Britain. This unassuming diminutive Major with an engaging permanent smile brought hope to a world at the brink of thermonuclear war. For many in Britain during the coldest days of the Cold War, this cosmonaut was the only Russian they would ever see.

    Invasive Species - A Very Short...

    Today there is no place on Earth that does not harbor invasive exotic species. Invasive plants and animals can be found on every continent, including Antarctica, and within all waterbodies, including all oceans. In our increasingly connected world, with speedy commercial and recreational travel and the global movement of biological matter for food, invasive species are showing up at such a fast rate that there is no way to accurately count how many currently exist or how many are likely to emerge in the coming decades. Monitoring these species and controlling their spread is essential, as we increasingly understand the negative impacts they pose: their threat to our health; the toll they take on our commercial production; and the threat they pose to native ecosystems.This Very Short Introduction provides a clear definition of an invasive species, and considers the myriad ways they are moved around the globe, and the ecological, social, and economic impacts they often impose. Exploring the way Earth's biodiversity is being affected by global change, Julie Lockwood also discusses policy and management approaches to combating the ill-effects of invasive species, and how invasive species fit within the broader context of environmental change.

    What do we stand to lose in a world without ice?
    		 
    A decade ago, novelist and short story writer Jean McNeil spent a year as writer-in-residence with the British Antarctic Survey, and four months on the world’s most enigmatic continent — Antarctica. Access to the Antarctic remains largely reserved for scientists, and it is the only piece of earth that is nobody’s country. Ice Diaries is the story of McNeil’s years spent in ice, not only in the Antarctic but her subsequent travels to Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard, culminating in a strange event in Cape Town, South Africa, where she journeyed to make what was to be her final trip to the southernmost continent.
    		 
    In the spirit of the diaries of Antarctic explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton, McNeil mixes travelogue, popular science, and memoir to examine the history of our fascination with ice. In entering this world, McNeil unexpectedly finds herself confronting her own upbringing in the Maritimes, the lifelong effects of growing up in a cold place, and how the climates of childhood frame our emotional thermodynamics for life. Ice Diaries is a haunting story of the relationship between beauty and terror, loss and abandonment, transformation and triumph.
