  Forgiving Humanity - How the...

  Peter Russell

  Why has the most innovative of species become so dangerous? The answer, suggests Peter Russell, lies in humanity’s accelerating pace of development. He shows how innovation breeds further innovation—a positive feedback loop leading to exponential rates of change. But our minds cannot grasp the full implications of exponential growth. We think more in terms of linear change, leading to a blind spot on the future.  
  However fast the pace of change may be today, it will be even faster in the years to come, bringing ever more rapid scientific and technological advances. But ever-accelerating change also creates stress on the systems involved. The faster the change, the greater the stress, and the more likely systemic breakdown. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams. 
  Russell argues there is no blame for this. Spiraling rates of development, with all their consequences, positive and negative, are the inevitable fate of any intelligent, technologically-empowered species.  
  How do we live with such unsettling conclusions? How can we prepare for a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable? What does it mean for the future of humanity? 
  Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology —as well as a masters degree in computer science —at the University of Cambridge. He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s. His other books include The TM Technique, The Upanishads, Waking Up in Time, From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.

  The Earth Said Remember Me - How...

  As the climate emergency worsens and biodiversity shrinks, we somehow get used to it. We struggle to remember what summers were like before the unrelenting heat, in those years before wildfires became an annual routine. We adapt, we normalize. Scientists call this "shifting baseline syndrome," and they warn that it's why we are increasingly sleepwalking toward disaster. 
   
  In this inspiring manifesto, environmental advocate and longtime editor-in-chief of Sierra magazine Jason Dove Mark offers antidotes that everyone can use to resist ecological amnesia and make lasting progress to repair and revive a livable planet. He puts forth four simple but powerful rules for a life lived in communion with the Earth: 
   
  Go outside 
  Bear witness 
  Make a record 
  Pass it on 
   
  From the mountains of California to the lakes of Wisconsin and across the lush forests of his beloved Pacific Northwest, Mark shares moving examples of citizen scientists, birdwatchers, mountain climbers, and fishermen who are putting these remedies into practice. And he makes the case for easy, everyday practices that can help us "remember the earth" and support environmental conservation, restoration, and rewilding. The Earth Said Remember Me is a hopeful, achievable prescription for protecting the planet, one citizen at a time.

  Observe Possibilities. 
  Entangle Possibilities. 
  Create Possibilities. 
  Throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks. 
  Several years ago, I was approached by Carolyn Wyman, author of “The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book” to write a book about Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies.  I am co-founder of Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies with my husband, but no one starts a company alone.  I told her that Otis Spunkmeyer was about many things besides cookies, and I wrote stories to prove it.  Carolyn agreed, indicating my most fascinating stories had nothing to do with cookies.  She suggested I compile my “you can’t make this up” stories of improbable possibilities.  
  My entrepreneurial stories are of Robert C. Brown and Company, investment advisors, and Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies and Burritos.  Triple 888 Manufacturing, the sheet metal company that created the oven to bake Otis Spunkmeyer cookies.  Sentimental Journeys, the DC3 airline that promoted Otis Spunkmeyer.  New Shoes, Old Souls Dance Company, Yoga Garden Dancers, Heterodoxy Magazine, and George Magazine.  Yes, I did meet with John F. Kennedy Jr., to incubate George.  I also took Joe DiMaggio to Las Vegas and Van Morrison sang “Moondance” to me.  Albert Einstein is one of my heroes.  I have daughters.  These narratives are a memorialization of my improbable possibilities.  My spaghetti-walling spirit propagated waves. 
  The most powerful quantum computers can’t negotiate infinite waves of possibilities.  Artificial intelligence generates probable possibilities.  Human intelligence imagines improbable possibilities.  Artificial intelligence exists on codes and algorithms.  Human intelligence is nurtured by thinking with thoughtfulness.  It actualizes imagination, and spaghetti-walls improbable possibilities. 
  This is not a treatise on mindfulness.  It is not an AI bashing, or a self-help book.  Primarily, I am spaghetti-walling this book to entertain you.  I’ve been determined to make waves.

  The Shortest History of Our...

  A complete history of the universe, spanning 13.8 billion years in an ultra-accessible, uncommonly illuminating, exhilarating chronicle of key events 
   
   
   
  In this thrilling history, David Baker captures the longest-possible time span—from the Big Bang to the present day—in an astonishingly concise retelling. His impressive timeline includes the "rise of complexity" in the cosmos and the creation of the first atoms; the origin of all galaxies, stars, and our solar system; and the evolution of life on Earth, from tiny single-celled organisms to human beings. 
   
   
   
  Weaving together insights across the sciences—including chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology—Baker answers the fundamental questions: How did time begin? Why does matter exist? What made life on Earth the way it is? He also argues that never before has life on Earth been forced to adjust to a changing climate so rapidly, nor has one species ever been responsible for such sudden change. Baker's grand view offers the clearest picture of what may come next—and the role we can still play in our planet's fate.
