  The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

  Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
   
   
   
  In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
   
   
   
  This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.

  The Hidden Plague - A Holistic...

  Have you been plagued with boils, cysts, ingrown hairs, and acne-like bumps that take months to resolve, leave embarrassing scars, and cause considerable pain? Have you been to the doctor, only to leave with a prescription for antibiotics, few answers, and little to no hope? Hidradenitis supprativa (HS) is a poorly understood skin condition that is believed to affect nearly 12 million people in the US alone. Only a small fraction of those affected have been properly diagnosed, leaving many others to suffer in silence or pursue ill-advised conventional treatment methods that fail to address the cause of this painful condition. Tara Grant, a twenty-year sufferer of HS, has become an underground legend to her Internet community of HS victims by presenting a methodical, self-tested action plan to heal naturally. The centerpiece of her holistic approach rests on the understanding that HS is an autoimmune disorder caused by leaky gut syndrome. With a few simple dietary changes that eliminate certain trigger' foods, you can heal your gut, restore your skin, reclaim your health, and rid yourself of HS symptoms forever. That means no antibiotics, no experimental surgeries, and no more pain, suffering, or confusion. 
  You will learn to adopt a big picture perspective about disease and dysfunction, and understand how autoimmunity (the body attacking itself in an adverse manner) represents the root cause of many frustrating chronic health conditions. By modifying your diet and other lifestyle habits, you can break free from the suffering, frustration and uncertainty that seems to go hand in hand with autoimmune conditions and skin conditions like HS in particular. The Hidden Plague is a fabulous and comprehensive resource for not just HS specifically, but many other related inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

  “Never has decisive action on climate and environment been more important. This book will help citizens understand that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something—and offers a myriad of ways they can get started too.” —Dr. Trista Patterson, Time100 Climate Leader, 2023, and co-founder of Playing for the Planet 
    
  Charlie Sellars pulls insight from his experience as a director of sustainability at Microsoft, which has underlined its commitment to be a green business with a pledge to become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste by 2030 while protecting ecosystems. He also serves on the governing body of the iMasons Climate Accord, an industry coalition united to decarbonize digital infrastructure. 
    
  Inside this sustainable living book, you will learn how to: 
   - Harness environmental science to make more sustainable decisions using the “Make It, Move It, Lose It, Use It” impact framework. 
   - Turn your job into a sustainability job, no matter what you do for a living. 
   - Unleash the power of your voice at the ballot box and in your local community.

  Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. It’s not too late to defeat the climate crisis, and What We Can Do will show you how.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What crucial health information are physicians not sharing with you during brief office visits? Elena Cross reveals the gaps between what doctors know and what patients are told in this eye-opening audiobook about navigating healthcare effectively. Discover why time constraints, liability concerns, and communication barriers prevent patients from receiving complete information about their conditions and options. Through interviews with healthcare professionals and analysis of medical practice patterns, Cross exposes the systematic information asymmetries between providers and patients. Learn what questions to ask, how to access your medical records meaningfully, and when to seek additional expertise. This guide examines how medical paternalism, although declining, still limits patient autonomy and informed consent in practice. Understand the difference between what clinical trials show and how medicine is practiced in real-world settings. Cross provides practical strategies for getting more thorough explanations, understanding test results, and evaluating whether recommended treatments align with your values and preferences. Whether you have felt dismissed by doctors, confused by medical jargon, or uncertain about treatment decisions, this audiobook empowers better healthcare communication. Stop leaving appointments with unanswered questions and start engaging as an informed partner in your medical care. Perfect for patients who want to understand their health beyond what busy physicians have time to explain.
