  More than a decade ago, counterterrorism expert Rita Katz began browsing white supremacist and neo-Nazi forums. The hateful rhetoric and constant threats of violence immediately reminded her of jihadist militants, but law enforcement and policy makers barely paid attention to the Far Right. Now, years of attacks committed by extremists radicalized online—including mass murders at a synagogue in Pittsburgh and mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, as well as the Capitol siege—have brought home the danger. How has the internet shaped today's threats, and what do the online origins of these movements reveal about how to stop them? 
   
   
   
  In Saints and Soldiers, Katz reveals a new generation of terrorist movements that don't just use the internet, but exist almost entirely on it. She provides a vivid view from the trenches, spanning edgy video game chat groups to mainstream social media platforms to what ISIS and Far-Right mass-shooters in El Paso, Orlando, and elsewhere unwittingly reveal between the lines of their manifestos. Katz shows how the online cultures of these movements create today's terrorists and shape how they commit "real world" violence. From ISIS to QAnon, Saints and Soldiers pinpoints the approaches needed for a new era in which arrests and military campaigns alone cannot stop these never-before-seen threats.

  Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

  Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
   
   
   
  Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

  Two Pioneers of Science and Spirit Expand the Frontiers of UnderstandingFor centuries, science and philosophy have drawn clear borders: scientists focused on the physical world, and philosophers studied the spiritual. Today that wall is coming down, thanks to innovative teachers like A. H. Almaas and Dr. Daniel Siegel, and the free flow of ideas and information has created a new renaissance of wisdom. On October 19, 2013, these two modern luminaries engaged in a conversation created to spark new ideas and insights about the nature of the mind and soul, the relationship between consciousness and the brain, and the mystery of personal transformation.Now you can experience this extraordinary meeting between A. H. Almaas, the creator of the breakthrough spiritual practice The Diamond Approach, and interpersonal neurobiologist Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of The Mindful Brain. In this daylong conversation, Siegel and Almaas investigate both the convergence and contrasts of spiritual and scientific ways of knowing ourselves. Focusing on the nature of personal transformation and the unfolding of identity, their wide-ranging discussion covers three major themes:Part One: The Mind and the Soul  •  The soul and the mind—how they are understood by both spiritual traditions and the latest neuroscience  •  The relationship between Being, Essence, the brain, and consciousness  •  How the mind relates to the brain, and the far-reaching implications of neuroplasticity—the ability of the mind to change our neural tissue  •  Why the soul is no longer off-limits to scientific inquiryPart Two: Self, Relationships, and Well-Being  •  What is the self and how does it develop?  •  How a sense of self emerges in life, in our relationships, and throughout development  •  How relational and psychological trauma impair the development of well-being and the unfolding of inner knowing across one's lifespan  •  The role of interpersonal and close, intimate relationships in the development of our identity  •The therapeutic-patient and student-teacher relationships—how these two models for wisdom transmission overlap and inform each otherPart Three: The Mystery of Transformation  •  What science and traditions say about the need for and nature of spiritual growth  •  The nature of meditation and how spiritual practices and scientific studies perceive the process of inner reflection  •  How fixed personality traits like narcissism or greed influence personal well-being and spiritual growth  •  What are the fundamental shared and contrasted views from science and spirituality on the nature of transformation?  •  Are there goals for transformation? If so, what are they?  •  How can we live a life of compassion, kindness, and discovery in the face of everyday stress and global change?
