  The Waste Between Our Ears - The...

  The time for effective change is shrinking. 
  In this book, writer, researcher and advocate Gerry Gillespie outlines how we can create a global solution, and it starts between our ears. In order to restore our world ecosystems and our vital soils, he wants to change how we think about our trash. Readers will learn why we all need to change our mind about waste management systems, how to reconnect our organic waste to local soil and food growers, and why this leads to more local jobs. 
  With chapters about source separation, soil management and climate change, and practical approaches to zero waste, Gillespie presents a practical, logical argument for one way to save the world and grow a local economy. In economic and environmental terms, clearly explains how, if waste were collected as source-separated products, more than half of it could be returned to soils as quality compost and biological products. A very large percentage of the remainder can be put back through recycling, re-manufacturing and reusing. And it’s not just theoretical. Gillespie details how this reduction of waste is already being achieved in parts of the world and how we could do it globally … if we could only think differently. 
  Advocates, nonprofit directors, waste managers, landfill directors, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, eco-farmers and anyone searching for environmental solutions and opportunities with source separation should not only read this book … we must figure out how to change our thinking, and put Gillespie’s plan into action.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Cybersecurity is not a product, dashboard, checklist, or one-time project. It is a business decision discipline for managing risk, resilience, and trust. 
   
  Cybersecurity Decision System gives executives, business owners, boards, operations and finance leaders, technology teams, and outside providers a framework for making, documenting, testing, and revisiting cyber-risk decisions without requiring them to become cybersecurity engineers. 
   
  Written by technology entrepreneur and cybersecurity executive Tush Nikollaj and applied-AI and cybersecurity author Nikolay Gul, the audiobook helps listeners separate meaningful security signals from technical noise; connect cybersecurity findings to operational and financial consequences; manage protection, continuity, speed, visibility, cost, and human behavior; establish verification rules for payments, access, sensitive information, and executive requests; govern AI and shadow AI; clarify vendor responsibility and shared-risk boundaries; and prepare stronger evidence for customers, insurers, regulators, leadership teams, and boards. 
   
  Listeners learn to use the Cybersecurity Decision Ledger, build a Trust Evidence Pack, run a 90-Day Cybersecurity Readiness Sprint, rehearse incidents and recovery, and apply the Decision Parallax Refresh to update time-sensitive evidence without confusing new statistics with better decisions. 
   
  The expanded audiobook also includes The Control Tower Principle, a model for protecting the organization while keeping the business moving, and a Bonus Learning Guide for professionals, students, educators, and startup founders developing trusted cybersecurity and AI-security decision-making skills. 
   
  This is not a fear-based cybersecurity book or a technical implementation manual. It is a practical leadership system for making better decisions before, during, and after uncertainty. 
   
  The companion workbook includes decision tools, checklists, source links, and implementation resources.

  The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
   
   
    
  Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
   
   
    
  Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.
