  The care of creation is the responsibility of all Christians. 
    
  Join Sequola Dawson in her insightful exploration of death rituals as she examines funerals, memorials, and burial practices, urging us to take ownership and recognize the vital interdependence between humanity, the earth, and all living organisms, advocating for a more ecologically responsible approach to caring for creation. 
    
  The Green Funeral introduces readers to evolving attitudes toward death, the death care industry, and our faith. Dawson not only delves into burial traditions within the African American community but outlines innovative practices suited for a new generation of multicultural churchgoers and those who do not identify with any religious tradition. 
    
  Dawson sheds light on the often-ignored economics behind the funeral industry, challenging us to consider the implications of "putting money in the ground." Many of us are unprepared for the death of a loved one, leaving us to ponder who bears the burden of caring for the deceased. With thousands of dollars spent on burials, Dawson argues for a more responsible approach—one that acknowledges the environmental impact of traditional practices and seeks to honor our loved ones without compromising the land they leave behind. 
    
  Dawson's unique perspective on death stems from her experiences in academia, the military, family life, and engineering, as well as her journey as a cancer survivor. She artfully weaves together the languages of all these worlds collectively raising a voice for better creation care—even in death. 
    
  "In The Green Funeral: Honoring the Environment While Beautifying Funeral Practices, Rev. Sequola Dawson speaks to the black church, but invites us all to contemplate our last impact on God's good earth. Let us all prayerfully consider returning to the dust from which we came as nourishment to the sacred land."—Rev. Carol L. Devine, Director of Blessed Tomorrow

  The Eye of the Master - A Social...

  A social history of AI that finally reveals its roots in the spatial computation of industrial factories and the surveillance of collective behaviour. 
   
   
   
  What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence," a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. 
   
   
   
  The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the imitation of biological intelligence, but the intelligence of labour and social relations, as it is found in Babbage's "calculating engines" of the industrial age as well as in the recent algorithms for image recognition and surveillance. 
   
   
   
  The idea that AI may one day become autonomous (or "sentient", as someone thought of Google's LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms have always imitated the form of social relations and the organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their purpose remains blind automation. 
   
   
   
  The Eye of the Master urges a new literacy on AI for scientists, journalists and new generations of activists, who should recognise that the "mystery" of AI is just the automation of labour at the highest degree, not intelligence per se. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Dennis Kleinman, with audio engineering by Mike Thal. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Visualization is a powerful technique that involves creating mental images to influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. At its core, visualization taps into the brain's ability to process imagery in a way that can lead to tangible changes in our lives. When we visualize, we engage not just our imagination but also activate neural pathways that enhance our ability to achieve our goals. This process can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to improve their mental health, boost their self-esteem, or navigate challenging situations in life.
