  A Climate of Truth - Why We Need...

  We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis – and most people want to see more action.
   
  But after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever. And we are accelerating into a Polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back?
  What will it take for us to do better?
  In the search for answers that have been so elusive to date, Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past. He uses all these insights to identify the single point of greatest leverage for those seeking the systemic change we so desperately need. A Climate of Truth spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the decades ahead, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media and our businesses. Not only is this possible, but each of us can have radically more impact on the issues we care about by turning our attention to this simple principle. 
  Anyone asking, ‘What can each of us do right now to help?’ will find inspiration in this practical and important book.

  Time Talks

  This is a series of discussions on Existential Realism — a framework that rethinks time, existence, and reality from the ground up. 
  At its core is a simple distinction: 
  The present alone exists — but the past and future are still real. 
  The past persists as traces, constraints, and records. 
  The future exists as structured possibilities, tendencies, and open directions. 
  This series develops that idea across multiple domains. 
  We examine why the block universe fails to account for becoming, how quantum physics may favor a present-centered ontology, and why relativity does not eliminate the present but reshapes it into a relative structure. 
  We move through entropy, causality, and the emergence of time — into biology, where organisms live in bounded temporal horizons, and into cognition, where time is both constructed and constrained. 
  We explore ethics grounded in the present, the role of agency in an open world, and formal logic systems that model these distinctions precisely. 
  Along the way, we confront competing views — presentism, eternalism, and various hybrid theories — not by dismissing them, but by placing them within a shared logical and conceptual space. 
  This is not a single argument, but a cumulative framework. 
  Each episode adds a piece: from physics to phenomenology, from formal logic to lived experience — all centered on one claim: 
  Reality is not a frozen totality, but an unfolding structure in which the present is the only point of existence.

  They Knew - The US Federal...

  In 2015, a group of twenty-one young people sued the federal government for violating their constitutional rights by promoting the climate catastrophe, depriving them of life, liberty, and property without due process of law. They Knew offers evidence for their claims, presenting a devastating, play-by-play account of the federal government's role in bringing about today's climate crisis. James Speth, tapped by the plaintiffs as an expert on climate, documents how administrations from Carter to Trump—despite having information about climate change and the connection to fossil fuels—continued aggressive support of a fossil fuel based energy system. 
   
   
    
  What did the federal government know and when did it know it? Speth asks, echoing another famous cover up. What did the federal government do and what did it not do? They Knew (an updated version of the Expert Report Speth prepared for the lawsuit) presents the most compelling indictment yet of the government's role in the climate crisis, showing a forty-year failure to take action. 
   
  Since Juliana v. United States was filed, the federal government has repeatedly delayed the case. Yet even in legal limbo, it has helped inspire a generation of youthful climate activists.

  The Common Uncommon - A Forest...

  From the renowned author of A Year in the Maine Woods, the intimate, thoughtful reflections of a lifetime spent observing the natural world. 
   
  For forty years, Bernd Heinrich has been ensconced in the woods of the northern, or boreal, forest, a vast sea of spruce, fir, and larch in the mountains of western Maine. All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the "common uncommon" of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. The Common Uncommon is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world–renowned naturalist.
