  High Times - The Extraordinary...

  High Times is the true story of Michael Medjuck, whose taste for weed, women and the good life led him from late-1960s Johannesburg to notoriety as one of the biggest hash and weed smugglers in North America.
  From his base in Vancouver, Michael built up a smuggling network that supplied dealers in scores of cities across Canada and the United States. The proceeds from smuggling afforded this former King David High School pupil a lifestyle of hedonistic excess – the finest wines, the most glamorous hookers, the best weed in the world.
  In 1991, Michael was nabbed by US federal agents while smuggling an enormous shipload of Afghani hash into the West Coast of Canada. Put on trial as the scheme's mastermind, Michael was convicted and sentenced to 24 years behind bars.
  His prison experiences, from dingy county lock-ups to brutal federal penitentiaries, are the stuff of legend. Eventually, a chance remark to his lawyer led to his early release and return to Canada.
  After barely a year of freedom, Michael was again arrested – this time in Spain for an ill-judged cocaine smuggling venture – and sentenced to an additional prison term of nine years.
  This is Michael's extraordinary story, as told to fellow South Africans Roy Isacowitz, author and journalist, and the late Jeremy Gordin, award-winning journalist, editor and author.

  Are the snowy owls in trouble? Venture into the Alaskan arctic and the summer realm of these predator birds to find out. Discover the diverse species necessary to owl survival, how climate change is affecting the landscape of their nesting site of past millennia, and what it takes to do field research in this action-packed addition to the award-winning Scientists in the Field series. 
  It's July on Alaska's North Slope, and scientist Denver Holt is in Utqiagvik surveying nests. Denver has been coming here since 1992, and the snowy owls he studies have been coming here much longer: thousands of years. 
  With its mix of coastal, low-elevation tundra and a rich presence of lemmings, the North Slope is the only area in Alaska where snowy owls regularly nest. How do snowy owls decide where they will nest? How do they manage to arrive at locations where food will be abundant? What drives the success of these delicate tundra ecosystems? These are the mysteries Denver is trying to solve to help ensure a bright future for these elegant hunters. 
  Supplemental PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Art Therapy - The Study and...

  Art has been an integral part of human expression for millennia, transcending language and culture to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In the realm of therapy, art serves as a transformative tool, offering individuals a unique way to process their emotions, explore their identities, and navigate life’s challenges. Art therapy bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind, enabling a form of expression that words often fail to capture. 
  At its core, art therapy leverages the creative process to foster emotional healing and psychological growth. Unlike traditional talk therapy, where verbal articulation is central, art therapy focuses on the act of creation itself. This approach allows individuals to externalize their feelings, making abstract emotions tangible and, therefore, easier to understand and address. Whether through painting, drawing, sculpting, or digital media, the act of making art provides a safe and nonjudgmental space for self-reflection and exploration. 
  The power of art in therapy lies in its accessibility. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. The emphasis is not on the aesthetic value of the work but on the process and what it reveals. For children, who may lack the vocabulary to articulate complex feelings, art therapy offers a way to communicate visually. Adults, too, find solace in the creative process, as it can unlock suppressed emotions and provide clarity in moments of confusion or distress.
