    Mount Rainier does not merely rise above the region. It creates consequences far beyond its slopes.
    
    Fire built the volcano. Ice carved and covered it. Glaciers feed rivers that leave the park and enter communities downstream. Eruptions, debris flows, snow, forests, meadows, salmon waters, roads, names, and human settlement all belong to the same mountain story.
    
    William Stanek's The Living Mount Rainier Biography follows the mountain from volcanic origin through Indigenous relationships, exploration, climbing, tourism, park creation, glacier change, ecological management, and the hazards of living near a great active volcano.
    
    Rainier is beautiful because it is powerful.
    
    Its biography reveals why those two truths can never be separated.

    If you have even a shred of common sense left in you, then the truth should already be screaming at you from above. The streaks that linger for hours, the hazy white veil that dulls the sun, the grid-like patterns that crisscross an otherwise clear sky—these are not the skies our grandparents knew. These are not natural phenomena. These are the fingerprints of something deliberate, something engineered. 
    Stratospheric aerosol injection, solar radiation management, climate intervention—whatever euphemism the establishment wants to slap on it, the reality remains the same. We are being sprayed. The weather is being manipulated and weaponized. And it's not just happening in secret anymore; it's happening right in front of us, with the approval of agencies, corporations, and shadowy networks who claim to know what's best for the world…but never ask for our consent. 
    You'll see the patents. You'll read the admissions tucked away in obscure scientific papers and government hearings, and you'll see photographic evidence. The science isn't hypothetical—it's operational. And the effects are undeniable: shifting weather patterns, ecological disruption, dying crops, rising illness. Still, the media gaslights the public, insisting it's all a "conspiracy theory," while the white haze in the sky grows thicker with every passing year. 
    This book wasn't written for the blindly obedient. It was written for the curious, the skeptical, and most of all—the awake. If you still think the sky is normal, that those white trails are just harmless vapor after reading this book, then perhaps the ruling elite's programming has done its job. Because if this book doesn't open your eyes, nothing will."

    It's not clear how change will come, but it's clear that change is coming. The current paradigms of treating mental health fall short. 
    The psychiatric view of mental health disorders as imbalances in brain chemistry treated by medication fails to address the root cause. 
    The psychological view of mental health disorders as learned behavioural issues has severe limitations. Psychosocial therapies that require the trauma to be reimagined (talking therapies, EMDR) are ineffective for many traumatised children, adolescents and adults. 
    Neurofeedback therapy reaches the parts other therapies cannot reach. It works at the physiological level first, building the scaffolding for psychological change. 
    The challenge has been understanding, adopting and scaling this obscure approach. 
    Stuart Black explains how these challenges can be addressed, makes the case for Neurofeedback for trauma, and describes how you can incorporate Neurofeedback therapy into your service.

    Written for everyone fascinated by the huge beasts that once roamed the earth, this book introduces the giant hornless rhinoceros, Indricotherium. These massive animals inhabited Asia and Eurasia for more than 14 million years, about 37 to 23 million years ago. They had skulls six feet long, stood twenty-two feet high at the shoulder, and were twice as heavy as the largest elephant ever recorded, tipping the scales at 44,100 pounds. Fortunately, the big brutes were vegetarians. Donald R. Prothero tells their story, from their discovery just a century ago to the latest research on how they lived and died.
