    CIRCUMCISION CUTS THROUGH US ALL. In her eye-opening memoir, Georganne Chapin exposes the business of medical circumcision. This unnecessary and most common pediatric surgery in the United States permanently reduces the size and alters the function of a boy’s penis for the rest of his life. Every year, nearly 1.5 million baby boys are assaulted in American hospitals and doctors’ offices, subjecting them to pain, functional and psychological damage, and a forever-altered sexual experience. Chapin traces circumcision’s U.S. roots from 19th Century fears of masturbation to stereotypes about race, class, religion, and male sexuality. She describes how what started as a way to keep men and women from enjoying sex morphed into a for-profit medical practice-one that is rare or unknown in Europe, non-Muslim Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, she shows how physician organizations, especially the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have worked for decades to fraudulently promote circumcision’s supposed benefits and suppress facts about circumcision harm and deaths, and how they refuse to acknowledge the procedure as a gross violation of basic medical ethics. Indeed, the AAP now characterizes male genital mutilation as a matter of “culture” and “parental preference”—a position that, conveniently, shields trade associations and their physician members from legal and financial liability. This book is a punch-in-the-gut wake-up call that will enrage and empower anyone impacted by the multi-billion-dollar penis business.

    Deep Listening to Nature

    Deep Listening to Nature is an invitation to open our ears to the natural world.  
     
    Beginning by tuning in to the sounds of creatures around us, Andrew discusses how to identify species by call, interpret their communications and find empathy for their sentience.  
     
    Listening more broadly, on an ecosystem level, Andrew then asks the question: What does listening reveal about how living systems function, and why do birds in particular negotiate their interactions in such lyrical and extraordinary ways?  
     
    From this he suggests we not only listen to learn about nature but learn from nature.  
     
    In our current crises – both social and environmental – he asks how we may mimic what the biosphere has achieved in sustaining life as we move toward an ecological future, and in doing so, form a deeper cultural and personal connection to Country.  
     
    Andrew encourages us to be still and listen. Extend our senses. Let nature get to know us and in its own way, to welcome us.
