  Owls have existed for over sixty million years, and in the relatively short time we have shared the planet with these majestic birds they have ignited the human imagination. But even as owls continue to captivate our collective consciousness, celebrated British nature writer Miriam Darlington finds herself struck by all she doesn't know about the true nature of these enigmatic creatures. 
   
   
   
  Darlington begins her fieldwork in the British Isles with her teenage son, Benji. As her avian fascination grows, she travels to France, Serbia, Spain, Finland, and the frosted Lapland borders of the Arctic for rare encounters with the barn owl, tawny owl, long-eared owl, pygmy owl, snowy owl, and more. But when her son develops a mysterious illness, her quest to understand the elusive nature of owls becomes entangled with her search for finding a cure. 
   
   
   
  In The Wise Hours, Darlington watches and listens to the natural world and to the rhythms of her home and family, inviting listeners to discover the wonders of owls alongside her while rewilding our imagination with the mystery, fragility, and magnificence of all creatures.

  Harnessing Disruption - Building...

  In Harnessing Disruption, Sarah E. Kreps—a national security expert and military veteran—offers a fresh, clear-eyed framework for understanding the social and political dynamics that shape technological change. From nuclear weapons to AI, cryptocurrency, and social media, breakthrough innovations rarely arrive without backlash. Disruption is not collapse. History shows it is part of a recurring pattern.With unmatched insight and authority, Kreps traces a five-stage cycle that technologies follow: emergence, early warnings, crisis, agenda-setting, and institutional response. Drawing on decades of research and real-world policy experience, she argues that disruption is neither inherently dangerous nor inherently self-correcting. Rather, it's a process we can steer, if we learn to see the signs and act decisively.Harnessing Disruption challenges fatalistic narratives that cast AI and other technologies as uncontrollable forces. It makes the case for cautious optimism: that institutions can adapt, societies can recalibrate, and technologies can be governed in ways that protect both innovation and the public good. Timely, incisive, and grounded in both historical precedent and contemporary case studies, this book provides the tools for anyone to understand where we are in the cycle of disruption and how to shape what comes next.

  Code Red - The Left the Right...

  A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  “One of the most important books in years.” - #1 NYT Bestselling Author Peter Schweizer 
  “Code Red is a must-read.” – Sen. Marsha Blackburn, TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI  
  “Illuminating…alarming…essential.” – Michael Shellenberger, Award-Winning Investigative Journalist  
  You don't get to opt out of the AI revolution. The decision has already been made for you. 
  Elon Musk calls artificial intelligence a “supersonic tsunami” headed toward humanity. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman warns that in as little as 12 to 18 months, AI could automate nearly every task white collar workers perform. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says that within the next 12 months to five years, AI could unleash a jobs bloodbath that disrupts half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. 
  So, as President Donald Trump leads the nation through AI’s seismic shifts, Americans are left asking the defining question of our time: Is AI hype or hope, promise or peril, existential threat or the next great technological leap toward prosperity and human flourishing? 
  The answer will affect everything, because AI is not just about jobs. It will shape whether our children are educated or indoctrinated. Whether people form relationships with other human beings or with machines. How and what we worship. And who lives or dies on the battlefield as AI warfare accelerates. 
  All of it will shock-test our civic order. 
  And whether we are ready or not, you do not get to opt out of the AI revolution. That decision has already been made for you. 
  Today, 99% of Americans use AI—even if most of us don’t realize it. For conservatives, this is a Code Red moment. Big Tech is quietly hard-coding left-wing ideology into the algorithms that now govern daily life. The Left is already weaponizing AI while conservatives sleepwalk straight into calamity, unless they're ready for what's coming. 
  In Code Red, Breitbart social media director Wynton Hall exposes where that power hides, how it operates, how conservatives can navigate the AI political battlescape, avert its landmines, and turn peril into promise. AI decides what you see and what gets censored. It’s quietly rewiring our whole way of life. The solution? Americans need a “code”: a set of principles and solutions rooted in the red political worldview to navigate the upheaval and stay ahead. 
  Inside Code Red, you will discover: 
  - Why AI is wired for woke indoctrination—and how to resist it. 
  - How elites plan to weaponize AI job losses to push dependency. 
  - How America can beat China without becoming China. 
  - How to prepare your kids for the blinding speed of AI disruption. 
  - The new national security threats AI unleashes—and how we defend against them. 
  - Why “AI girlfriends” are luring millions—and what it will take to preserve authentic human connection. 
  - How AI will test faith and meaning—and why spiritual renewal may be its most surprising outcome. 
  Urgent, deeply researched, and written with page-turner elegance, Code Red is the conservative battle plan for the AI era. Either we wake up and fight back, or we lose everything that made America free.
