Sinossi

"Rewilding Home Spaces" explores how homeowners can actively contribute to ecological restoration and boost biodiversity right in their own yards. It argues that even small actions, like planting native species, can collectively make a big difference in fragmented urban and suburban environments. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding ecological succession, the natural process of change in plant and animal communities, as a key to guiding rewilding efforts. It highlights the stark contrast between ecologically sterile ornamental plants and native species vital for supporting local wildlife, providing a practical guide to transforming residential areas into thriving ecosystems.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with core ecological principles and defining rewilding in a residential context. It then explores the ecological benefits of native plants for pollinators and birds, offers strategies for creating wildlife habitats like pollinator gardens, and focuses on minimizing harmful landscaping practices such as pesticide use. By presenting scientific data, case studies, and actionable recommendations, "Rewilding Home Spaces" empowers readers to enhance ecosystem health, promoting a holistic approach to creating vibrant and resilient communities.

The Sterilization Experiments -...

Davis Truman

In the shadows of history, some stories challenge our understanding of humanity. 'The Sterilization Experiments: The Barbaric Legacy of Carl Clauberg' is one such story. 
The atrocities committed during the Nazi era are a dark stain on human history. Among the many horrors of this period were the medical experiments conducted on concentration camp prisoners by Nazi doctors. One of the most notorious of these doctors was Carl Clauberg, an expert in gynecology who was tasked with developing a method for sterilizing women quickly and inexpensively. Clauberg's experiments were carried out with a callous disregard for human life and dignity, resulting in immeasurable suffering for his victims. The legacy of these experiments continues to shape our understanding of medical ethics, human rights, and the dangers of unchecked power and ideology.  
The Sterilization Experiments' is not just a recounting of facts; it is a solemn reminder of the depths to which humanity can sink and a call to remember the victims who endured unimaginable suffering. 
This book is an essential read for those who seek to understand the true cost of hatred and the importance of vigilance against such evils. It challenges us to confront the past and ensure that such atrocities never happen again.

Humanity Reimagined - Where We...

Martin Fiore

For years, executive Martin Fiore has been advising leaders from a wide range of industries about technological trends that are reshaping the world of business, from artificial intelligence and the rise of autonomous systems to human/machine convergence. Now, in Humanity Reimagined, Fiore explores how these trends are disrupting industries, changing the world of work, transforming the economy, and creating both threats and opportunities for leaders at all levels, from entrepreneurs nurturing start-up businesses to C-suite leaders at the world’s biggest corporations.  
Fiore’s main focus is on what we can do to ensure that the forces of change now sweeping the planet will protect and enhance the most cherished qualities of human life rather than undermining them. He offers thoughtful recommendations for addressing many of the big issues that today’s transformational technologies are raising, from the threats to privacy posed by misuse of big data to the infiltration of autonomous systems by racial and gender bias. Most important, Fiore provides advice on how to prepare for an unpredictable future that business leaders, policy makers, and individuals forging their careers will find both practical and inspiring.  
“Fiore combines perceptive forecasting of change with an understanding of how the world and public already has shifted, making a compelling case that making the best of the future demands improving upon the leadership of the past.”—BookLife Reviews 
“For those looking for a glimpse at the future, this book isn’t a bad place to start. An encouraging, unflinching look at the tech changes to come.”—Kirkus Reviews

Returning the Self to Nature -...

Jeanine M. Canty

Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
 
 
 
Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
 
 
   
Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
 
  
 
Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

Richard Smyth

'Generous, moving and alive. A gift' - Tim Dee, author of Greenery
'Intelligent, thought-provoking and always, always interesting' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment
'Smyth writes with warmth and engaging perception about our relationship and understanding of the natural world on our doorsteps' - Jon Dunn, author of The Glitter in the Green
'Fresh and tender and playful' - Patrick Galbraith, author of In Search of One Last Song
Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?

Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.

Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.
