Consciousness - Where Did It...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What is consciousness, and why does it matter? Is it a byproduct of the brain, a reflection of the cosmos, or the very fabric of reality itself? Consciousness – Where Did It Come From and Where Is It Going? takes listeners on a profound journey through the mysteries of awareness, exploring both the science and the spirit of mind. 
 
From leading theories such as Integrated Information Theory and Global Workspace Theory, to deeper explorations of memory, dreams, the self, and even the quantum question, this audiobook illuminates the many faces of consciousness.

Before the Streetlights Come On...

Heather McTeer Toney

Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country. 
 
 
 
However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities. 
 
 
 
In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.

Deepwater Alchemy - Extractive...

Lisa Yin Han

How underwater mediation has transformed deep-sea spaces into resource-rich frontiers 
 
 
 
Green energy technologies such as windmills, solar panels, and electric vehicles may soon depend on material found at the seabed. How did a space once imagined to be empty and unfathomable come to be thought of as a treasure trove of resources? Lisa Yin Han traces how contemporary developments in underwater sensing and imaging materially and imaginatively transmogrify the ocean bottom into a resource frontier capable of sustaining a digitally connected global future. 
 
 
 
Set against the backdrop of climate change, energy transition, and the expansion of industrial offshore extractions, Deepwater Alchemy looks at oceanic media and its representation of the seabed in terms of valuable resources. From high-tech simulations to laboratories and archives that collect and analyze sediments, Han explores the media technologies that survey, visualize, and condition the possibility for industrial resource extraction, introducing the concept of extractive mediation to describe the conflations between resource prospecting and undersea knowledge production. Moving away from anthropocentric frameworks, she argues that we must equalize access to deep ocean mediation and include the submerged perspectives of multispecies communities.
