  In the end, there is only the story we leave behind. 
  For over fifty years, palliative nurse Dale Heim has been a keeper of stories—whispered confessions, defiant last wishes, and unexpected moments of grace at life’s closing.  
  In Dying Ways, she shares raw, tender stories from the frontlines of mortality: A tantric teacher who swims with dolphins as her final act of freedom; A grandmother dancing with butterfly tattoos over mastectomy scars; A WWII survivor serenaded by the Hallelujah Chorus as she takes her last breath; and many more. 
  With unflinching honesty and deep compassion, Dale reveals how death reshapes the living—offering lessons in forgiveness, acceptance, and the courage to live fully even as the light fades. From the chaos of trauma wards to quiet hospice rooms, she shows that dying is not an end but a poignant, human art.  
  Perfect for fans of Paul Kalanithi’s “When Breath Becomes Air” and Caitlin Doughty’s “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”, this is an essential companion for caregivers, grievers, and anyone who fears mortality’s shadow. Because, as Dale reminds us, “Death is only ugly if we allow it to be. Accept the truth, and it can be beautiful, too." 
  Includes "Need Support?" section with books, music, and resources for continuing the journey.

  Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms.
  So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate?
  Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages - from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists.
  In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.
  The aim of this work is to bring together and organize the contentions of serious students of plant life who argue that there are objective grounds for plant psychology.
  Chaste Mimosa: The Psychology of Plants is a compelling and essential book for all thinkers, students and teachers of psychology, philosophy, physiology, plus all disciplines related to the study of plants.

  Welcome to a journey through speculative fictions, where the possibilities of tomorrow are explored like never before. In a new collaborative approach, renowned experts, armed with their deep knowledge of justice, energy, digital money, longevity and learning, join forces with talented authors to weave narratives that transcend the future that you may currently believe is inevitable.  
  Situated in 'real-life' between accelerationism and scepticism, this volume of disruptions serves as a thought-provoking look into the potential consequences of scientific progress, technological development and societal evolution.  
  "What a wonderful and inspiring alternative to the so-called 'world-building' of today's science fiction industry. Here are some real lessons on how to speculate in ways that may actually open new potentials for human flourishing." Douglas Rushkoff, Team Human. 
  "This book offers an essential collaboration between domain experts, writers, and editors, fusing foresight and technological exploration to offer narratives both visionary and eerily plausible." Dr Helen Marshall, Director, WhatIF Lab, Queensland University. 
    
  "The stories and commentaries make us take a long hard look at the world we have ahead of us, knowing that the problems aren't with AI, climate, money, health, or knowledge. Rather, they come from our relationships with them. The lessons are aplenty, but more importantly, there is hope." Yen Ooi, 2023 Hugo Awards finalist and Director, London Science Fiction Research Community. 
  "This clever collection of speculative stories explores the possible futures that await us. Through a series of narratives that weave together technological, ethical and societal futures, we are also gifted great analysis and commentary from experts in their fields." Tracey Fellows, Futurist, Author of 'The Future Of You'.

  Imminent Domains: Reckoning with the Anthropocene invites readers to join a contemplation of survival—our own, and that of the elements that surround us. Using research, lyric prose, and first-hand experiences, Alessandra Naccarato addresses fundamental questions about our modern relationship to nature amidst depictions of landscapes undergoing dramatic transformation.
  We trace the veins of harm, memory and meaning amongst ecosystems and bioregions; through history and across continents, from the mines of Cerro Rico to the ruins of Pompeii. Arranged by five central elements of survival—earth, fire, water, air and spirit—these essays refute linearity, just as nature does.
  Naccarato offers not blanket answers about our future, but rather myriad ways to find our own, individual response to an imminent question. We are being called to work together; to dig a trench deep and wide enough that the fires around us might stay at bay. How do we turn towards the fire?

  For families walking through the final chapter of a loved one’s life, nothing truly prepares you for the emotional weight of hospice care. In Helping Mom Pass On with Dignity: My Hospice Journey and Lessons Learned, one son shares the deeply personal story of caring for his mother during her final months, and the life-changing lessons learned along the way. 
   
  This is not a medical textbook. It is a real and honest journey filled with love, fear, exhaustion, family struggles, hope, regret, and moments of unexpected peace. Written in a simple and heartfelt style, this audiobook speaks directly to caregivers, adult children, spouses, veterans, hospice workers, and anyone facing the painful reality of saying goodbye to someone they love. 
   
  You will walk beside a son who moved in with his mother years before her passing and honored her wish to remain at home with dignity during hospice care. Along the way, he shares powerful lessons about family conflict, caregiving stress, setting boundaries, asking for help, handling medications, dealing with guilt, and learning how to let go with love instead of fear. 
   
  You will hear about the “Angel in the Room,” the hospice nurse who brought comfort and sanity during the darkest moments. You will experience the sleepless nights, the hard questions no child ever expects to hear from a parent, and the emotional roller coaster of watching someone slowly prepare to leave this world. 
   
  Most importantly, this audiobook reminds listeners that they are not alone. Many caregivers silently carry feelings of doubt, grief, frustration, and regret. This story offers comfort, understanding, and reassurance that doing your best with love truly matters. 
   
  Whether you are preparing for hospice care, currently living through it, or trying to heal after losing someone close to you, this audiobook may help you feel seen, understood, and supported. 
   
  Sometimes the greatest act of love is simply being there.
