  Everyone alive today is witnessing a mass extinction event caused by the more than eight billion humans who share this planet. At times, it seems there is little hope. Climate change, resource exploitation, agrochemicals, overfishing, plastics, dead zones in our oceans, drought and desertification, conversion of habitat to housing, farming, and industrial infrastructure—the list of impacts and insults goes on and on. We are, it seems, on an unalterable path that will continue to decimate biodiversity.A feeling of hopeless, while not unwarranted, is part of the problem. Without hope, without some belief in the possibility of positive outcomes, the fight for nature is over. Why even try if the battle is already lost?While staring the problems squarely in the face, A Sea Full of Turtles offers hope for those who care about our living world. Delivered as a travel narrative set in Mexico's Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), at one level the book focuses on dramatically underfunded but highly successful efforts to protect sea turtles. But the book goes beyond Mexico and beyond sea turtles to look at how some humans have changed their relationship with nature—and how that change can one day end the extinction crisis.Enchanting, galvanizing, and brimming with joy and wonder, A Sea Full of Turtles will inspire immediate action to face the great challenges that lie ahead. Pessimism is the lazy way out. Optimism, it turns out, is both a reasonable and an essential attitude for us all as we fight for the beautiful diversity of life on our Earth.

  “Reynolds gives us a much-needed reason for hope. The gardener, the conservationist, the city planner, and the nature lover will all be inspired for this wonderful book shows how thousands of even small wildlife friendly gardens can provide habitat for embattled wildlife around the world.” —Jane Goodall, Phd, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace  Individuals can’t save the world alone. But if millions of us work together to save our own patch of earth—then we really have a shot. How do we do it?  With Acts of Restorative Kindness (ARK). An ARK is a restored, native ecosystem. It’s a thriving patch of native plants and creatures that have been allowed and supported to re-establish in the earth's intelligent, successional process of natural restoration. Over time, this becomes a pantry and a habitat for our pollinators and wild creatures who are in desperate need of support. These ARKs will become the seeding grounds for our planet’s new story. They will be sanctuaries for our shared kin—the rooted and unrooted—and safe havens for the magic and abundance of the natural world. Most importantly, the ARK-building actions are within our control and laid out here in We Are the ARK. In these inspiring pages, discover how one person’s actions can effect big change in this world. Even the tiniest postage stamp patch of land matters! Together we are building a patchwork quilt of life that will wrap its way around this planet.

  The Invisible Bond - Exploring...

  PhD Dr. Patrick Fisher

  She told me she hadn't left her apartment in eleven days. The grocery delivery sat inside the front door. She had eaten what she could reach from her bed. Her therapist had called twice; she let it go to voicemail. Then her dog pressed its body against her side—and something shifted. 
  The Invisible Bond is the first book in The Invisible Series by Dr. Patrick Fisher—clinician, researcher, and founder of TheraPetic. Built on original doctoral research at Walden University, this book goes beyond clinical data to capture what it actually feels like to manage anxiety with an emotional support animal by your side. 
  Through in-depth qualitative interviews with adults living with clinically significant anxiety, Dr. Fisher documents the themes that emerged: presence, routine, grounding, connection, and the quiet ways an animal can hold space for a person who is struggling. 
  This book is for clinicians seeking to better serve clients who rely on ESAs. For individuals navigating anxiety with an animal companion. For policymakers making decisions about rights they may not fully understand. And for anyone who has ever been told that needing an animal is a weakness rather than a strategy of survival. 
  The science has not changed. Cortisol still drops. Oxytocin still releases. The autonomic nervous system still responds. This book documents why—and what it means for the future of mental health care. 
  The Invisible Series continues with The Invisible Disability, The Invisible Law, The Invisible Prison, The Invisible Identity, and The Invisible Data.

  The Elements of Geology

  William Harmon Norton

  Geology is a science of such rapid growth that no apology is expected when from time to time a new text-book is added to those already in the field. The present work, however, is the outcome of the need of a text-book of very simple outline, in which causes and their consequences should be knit together as closely as possible,—a need long felt by the author in his teaching, and perhaps by other teachers also. The author has ventured, therefore, to depart from the common usage which subdivides geology into a number of departments,—dynamical, structural, physiographic, and historical,—and to treat in immediate connection with each geological process the land forms and the rock structures which it has produced.
