  Eco Revolution isa humanized and eye-opening journey through the past, present, and future of one of the most crucial topics of our time: Climate change. This is a time unlike any other in human history.  With the ever-growing threat of the climate crisis looming and putting the whole world on the edge of its seat, and a global internal and external revolution towards social equality, simultaneously shifting our consciousness, our culture, and our lives, we have not only entered into a brand new once-in-a-generation era of social and environmental justice advocacy — but the deep-rooted overlap between environmental crises and inequities that have been spotlighted in an unprecedented elevation of awareness. Eco Revolution is a humanized and eye-opening journey through the past, present, and future of one of the most crucial topics of our time: Climate change. This book chronicles untold sustainability history, highlights the stories of unsung eco-warrior heroes, and shares solutions for a more sustainable and equitable world, as told through the lens of award-winning environmental activist Maya Penn’s unique and inspiring experience as a young black woman and member of Generation Z who, driven by a passion for nature and its ecosystems, started her journey into environmental activism at only 8 years old. With 15 years of hands-on experience in the environmental activism space, her voice has become one of the most sought after.   Eco Revolution explores our collective connection to the natural world through inherited ecology and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) passed down through indigenous cultures throughout the world as people worked in partnership with naturally occurring ecosystems to create thriving, functional societies and how this has translated to our modern understanding about sustainability. Penn will take a comprehensive look at the current green movements around the world and how sustainable living can be reclaimed via the work of these groups, and the ways in which we can deploy creativity to bring about real change. Finally, readers will be confronted by the future--it's possibility and potential and the passing of the torch to future generations, and how we can remain optimistic in the midst of looming crisis.

  Egyptian Dynasties - The...

  The Early Dynastic Period marks the beginning of ancient Egyptian civilization, a time when the foundations of one of history’s most remarkable cultures were laid. Spanning approximately from 3100 to 2686 BCE, this period is characterized by the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under a single ruler, leading to the establishment of the first dynasties and the concept of pharaonic rule. 
  The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt is often attributed to King Narmer, a powerful ruler who is believed to have brought the two regions together. The famous Narmer Palette, an ancient ceremonial artifact, depicts Narmer wearing the crowns of both Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolizing his authority over the unified land. This pivotal moment not only marked the creation of a centralized state but also set the stage for the development of a dynastic tradition that would persist for millennia. The consolidation of power allowed the pharaohs to wield significant control over the land, fostering political stability and cultural coherence. 
  The role of Narmer and the early pharaohs was instrumental in shaping the governance and societal structure of ancient Egypt. As divine rulers, these early kings were seen as earthly embodiments of the gods, responsible for maintaining ma'at, the concept of cosmic order and balance. This religious authority legitimized their political power and reinforced their role as mediators between the divine and mortal worlds. During this period, the pharaohs established court systems, oversaw the construction of monumental architecture, and promoted the development of writing, which became crucial for record-keeping and administration.

  For a Dollar and a Dream - State...

  Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
   
   
   
  The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
  as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
   
   
   
  For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.
