Summary

Giant Sequoia Longevity explores the secrets behind the remarkable lifespan of giant sequoias, the world's largest trees. It focuses on how these trees have thrived for millennia, offering insights into their survival strategies and the environmental conditions they've endured. By studying tree rings, scientists can uncover past climate patterns and fire regimes, revealing how sequoias have adapted to environmental change. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these ancient trees, not only for their natural history but also for informing conservation efforts in our rapidly changing world.

 
The book uniquely presents giant sequoias' life history through their tree ring records, revealing long-term ecological stories. It investigates their anatomical and physiological traits, such as their thick bark and decay-resistant wood, which contribute to their resilience.

 
The book progresses by introducing the foundational principles of dendrochronology and then analyzing tree ring records to disentangle the influences of climate variability and fire frequency on tree growth. This approach integrates earth sciences, geography, and nature, providing a holistic perspective on sequoia longevity and the challenges of conserving these iconic species.

    Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Professor Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, explores the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness. 
     
    While the car has been marketed as a symbol of "freedom", the authors convincingly argue that it has limited the flourishing of our cities and restricted our choices. How can we fix our toxic relationship with cars? The authors offer a new way of thinking that promises to multiply your choices, improve your city, and expand your freedoms.  
     
    Inside the book, you'll find real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars; philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike; a catalogue of ideas and approaches for urban designers, transport planners, policymakers, and mayors; and much more. 
     
    Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, drivers, environmentalists, urbanists, and policymakers―anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.

    Award-winning journalist Bill Weir confronts the biggest threats to life as we know it and explores ideas for building a more promising future. 
     
    Bill Weir has spent decades telling the stories of unique people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of change. As the first Chief Climate Correspondent in network news, he is immersed in the latest scientific warnings and breakthroughs while often on the frontlines of disasters, natural and manmade. 
     
    After the birth of his son in April 2020, Bill began distilling these experiences into a series of Earth Day letters to his boy, weaving together worry and wonder into a poignant reminder that a better future can still be written. Life as We Know It (Can Be) digs into fascinating corners of history, psychology, technology, and Bill’s own biography to connect the lessons he’s collected from the happiest, healthiest, and most resilient societies. From the sun-powered town that kept its lights on in a hurricane to the Antarctic nests of the one penguin species thriving amid climate change, Bill takes readers around the world to collect dozens of practical ideas to help build a more resilient future.  
     
    Life as We Know It (Can Be) is a celebration of the wonders of our planet, a meditation on the human wants and needs that drive it out of balance, and an inspiration for communities to galvanize around nature and each other as the very best way to brace for what’s next. 
     
    “There is no other correspondent like Bill Weir, and there’s certainly no other book like this one. It’s moving, funny, frank, well-researched, beautifully written, and looks at climate change in a way I’ve never seen before.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor, 60 Minutes correspondent, and New York Times–bestselling author

    More Human - How the Power of AI...

    AI has the potential to transform leadership and the human experience of work—or to lead us into an automated and uninspiring work reality. Which one will it be? 
     
     
     
    Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work? 
     
     
     
    So far, that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanness in our work lives. But as Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, that's a very limited perspective on the impact of AI, leaving out a crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better—the key is in how leaders use it. 
     
     
     
    With deep insight and rigorous research, More Human will help leaders navigate our AI-enabled future.
