  Moving Forwards Working...

  This book is about understanding how much neurodivergence and masking has unconsciously shaped so many people without them realising. For generations we have not recognised that many people who are highly adapted to a neurotypical world haven't been acknowledged or supported, especially women and girls. It explores the experience of attention divergent and highly sensitive people (often referred to as ADD or ADHD), Autistic people (often referred to as ASD) and people who are both (Dualies), in a non- pathologizing way. It challenges the current use of pathologizing language and explores the intersection of all the other shaping influences on how we make sense of this identity, including trauma, family of origin and overlaps between different types of neurodivergence. It explores the likely evolutionary components of how humans have developed different kinds of brains and attributes and makes suggestions for developing a more inclusive and validating picture of neurodiversity in schools, the workplace, families and friendship groups. Helen draws on her own and her partner's experiences of being neurodivergent, as well as drawing from stories of her friends, family and clients to develop a greater understanding of why it is important to embrace this identity if it applies to you. Helen is a psychologist who has worked with people for forty years. She describes how important it is to realise how masking neurodivergence stops people from realising their full potential, and where embracing it helps personal growth and a positive identity.

  The Great American West is a series that was originally done on radio narrated by Jeff Tracy and Berry Burks.
   
  Jeff Tracy’s radio career started in college and is still going on to this day. Jeff has hosted seven different syndicated shows, covering, Horses, rodeo, history, BBQ and golf. Jeff appears on television as The Cowboy Cook and has appeared in movies.

  The voice of Dallas McKennon is featured in this series. Dallas played Cincinnatus on the Daniel Boone show with Fess Parker. Dallas also voiced hundreds of characters for Walt Disney and acted in dozens of movies and TV shows.
   
  In each episode of The Great American West, we explore the facts, myths and the fiction about significant events or historical figures in our western heritage. You’ll hear stories about Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Jesse James, Bell Star, Annie Oakley and many others. The stories were written by a group of ex-Hollywood writers and American West history experts. The Great American West stories were written only with facts and no theory. These stories were crafted prior to the advent of the internet, meaning they had to read books, periodicals and transcripts. The idea was to let the listener make up their own minds.
   
  Our fine cadre of writers was headed by our lead writer, Patty Sprigg, who wrote for NBC television, The Daniel Boone and Disney shows among others. Nancy Bacon who wrote for NBC and David Nivens Four Star Productions. Rounding out our stable of writers was Ted Bryant, news anchor, political analyst and historical scholar.
   
  We hope you enjoy listening to The Great American West as we really enjoyed voicing these shows.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Feeding the Nine Billion: Strategies for Global Food Security is a clear, practical, and hopeful roadmap for ensuring that every person can access nutritious food in a warming, crowded, and rapidly changing world. Written in simple, bookish language and grounded in real-world experience, it moves from the scale of a single farm to global markets and institutions, showing how the pieces fit together to create resilient, fair, and nourishing food systems. It opens with the central challenge—feeding a projected nine billion people—by unpacking what food security truly means: not only producing enough calories, but guaranteeing equitable access and balanced diets that support health, dignity, and opportunity. 
  The book surveys the current landscape of hunger and malnutrition, explaining why people go hungry even when the world grows enough food. It explores how conflict, climate shocks, poverty, weak infrastructure, and inequality disrupt access to meals, and it highlights the quiet crisis of hidden hunger—micronutrient deficiencies that limit learning, productivity, and well-being. With this foundation, the narrative turns to solutions that work on the ground: sustainable agriculture practices that build living soils, conserve water, reduce waste, and weave biodiversity into the heart of farming; and innovations in crop science, breeding, and biotechnology that add resilience to heat, drought, pests, and disease while improving taste, nutrition, and storage life.

  Tarot has always been a powerful guide for introspection and inner work, so what better tool to use when we're ready to do the really hard work? Author Maria Minnis takes a radical new look at the Major Arcana in this tarot workbook, which provides listeners a unique, personal understanding of systemic racism—and what steps we can take to begin to dismantle it. This book says tarot can be a tool for action, one that may offer great satisfaction as well as great difficulty, all while pushing you out of your comfort zone. 
   
   
    
  You'll explore the Major Arcana to uncover how each archetype can help cultivate a freer, anti-racist world. It will consider the upright, or benevolent, aspects of each card and how listeners can use those themes to dismantle internalized racism, racism in our relationships, and racism in our communities. As you move from the Fool to the World card, you'll discover that everything we do ripples beyond us, and that there are practical ways to change our actions and perspectives. 
   
   
    
  This is a book that speaks to both white and BIPOC audiences. The author addresses the human community as a whole and how racism affects our relationships to each other, to our communities, and to our institutions. This book addresses how the energy can be turned around into self-awareness, self-love, and positive action.
