  Three Jubilee Circles—one in the U.S. and two in Mexico—provide the lived experience for this minibook. Three traffic signs in the opening pages signal what is to follow. “Stop!” MultiEarth living. “Turn!” to OneEarth ways. “Merge!”, i.e. “Join!” a Jubilee Circle. When you do, you become engaged in actions that reverse climate change, correct current injustices, and deepen spirituality. Circles refine ideas and multiply impacts of actions for justice and the planet. What is Jubilee? Fully thirteen themes guide Circles in living Jubilee, and some key biblical passages using Jubilee are added in an “Appendix.” Learn how a Jubilee Circle provides the strategy, spirituality, and synergy that add intention and results to your efforts to keep our planet livable.

  What Wild Horses Have to Teach Us

  Horses are valuable teachers and healers, and give us powerful lessons in how to be effective leaders. In this 2022 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Carolyn Resnick reveals the secrets of how a horse gains and maintains its leadership of a herd of wild horses. What makes a good leader in a stallion of a herd of wild horses can be used for human leadership as well: it does not lead by coercion or waging battles, but creates unity, harmony, and respect including the personal space of others.  
  Carolyn Resnick is the founder of The Resnick Method of Horsemanship and offers many online courses, clinics, retreats, and certification opportunities that create a magical connection with horses using rituals that are innate to the horse. She is a master horse communicator who grew up with horses and spent three summers of her childhood gradually becoming accepted into a community of wild horses, culminating in her ability to ride a lead mare bareback and without a bridle. She is the author of Naked Liberty: Memoirs of My Childhood, Guided by Passion, Educated by Wild Horses (Amigo Publications, Inc. 2005).

  Drift Into Failure - From...

  What does the collapse of sub-prime lending have in common with a broken jackscrew in an airliner’s tailplane? Or the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the burn-up of Space Shuttle Columbia? These were systems that drifted into failure. While pursuing success in a dynamic, complex environment with limited resources and multiple goal conflicts, a succession of small, everyday decisions eventually produced breakdowns on a massive scale. We have trouble grasping the complexity and normality that gives rise to such large events. We hunt for broken parts, fixable properties, people we can hold accountable. Our analyses of complex system breakdowns remain depressingly linear, depressingly componential - imprisoned in the space of ideas once defined by Newton and Descartes. The growth of complexity in society has outpaced our understanding of how complex systems work and fail. Our technologies have gotten ahead of our theories. We are able to build things - deep-sea oil rigs, jackscrews, collateralized debt obligations - whose properties we understand in isolation. But in competitive, regulated societies, their connections proliferate, their interactions and interdependencies multiply, their complexities mushroom. This book explores complexity theory and systems thinking to understand better how complex systems drift into failure. It studies sensitive dependence on initial conditions, unruly technology, tipping points, diversity - and finds that failure emerges opportunistically, non-randomly, from the very webs of relationships that breed success and that are supposed to protect organizations from disaster. It develops a vocabulary that allows us to harness complexity and find new ways of managing drift.

  An entertaining deep dive into muscle, from the discovery of human anatomy to the latest science of strength training. 
   
   
   
  Muscle tissue powers every heartbeat, blink, jog, jump, and goosebump. It is the force behind the most critical bodily functions, including digestion and childbirth, as well as extreme feats of athleticism. We can mold our muscles with exercise and observe the results. 
   
   
   
  In this lively, lucid book, orthopedic surgeon Roy A. Meals takes us on a wide-ranging journey through anatomy, biology, history, and health to unlock the mysteries of our muscles. He breaks down the three different types of muscle—smooth, skeletal, and cardiac—and explores major advancements in medicine and fitness, including cutting-edge gene-editing research and the science behind popular muscle conditioning strategies. Along the way, he offers insight into the changing aesthetic and cultural conception of muscle, from Michelangelo's David to present-day bodybuilders, and shares fascinating examples of strange muscular maladies and their treatment. Brimming with fun facts and infectious enthusiasm, Muscle sheds light on the astonishing, essential tissue that moves us through life.
