  Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
   
   
   
  Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

  Actionable Ethics is part of a larger regimen of ethics training, for the company (but, more broadly-speaking, for life). What makes it different is the fact that it shares techniques gleaned from neuroscience on how to make moral behavior habitual. As Aristotle said, “Excellence is not an act, but a habit." Almost every other ethics book or course available addresses itself to the front of the brain (where executive function takes place). Actionable Ethics, by contrast, addresses itself to the back of the brain, where habit-formation occurs, to create positive behaviors, or, as Cicero put it thousands of years ago, a “second nature”.

  Ancient history is a vast subject and can have you occupied for hours. The sources of ancient history have been uncovered slowly with time.

The ancient languages, trade, culture, religion, crops and even technology of the ancient man have surprised the historians. The study of ancient books and engravings speak of the ancient history civilizations being advanced nothing less than our modern civilizations. While our buildings crumble and fall there are buildings scattered across thousands of years old that still seem to uphold its majestic heights. Every engraving is so intricating, so fascinating and with a meaning or a story behind it. Their cities were well-planned to fight natural disasters and enemy attacks. How did they manage these complexities without having the luxury of so many machines and devices that our engineers and architects use today. This book will discuss all about the recorded history of mankind, where and how they flourished. Ancient authors have left behind a vast ocean of knowledge for us to discuss, study, learn and maybe implement them in our modern world

  'I've never met Danny Finkelstein but I think I'm in love with him. His book is such good company – sane, intelligent and witty. He deals with serious subjects in an immensely readable way … If I'm asked to nominate my book of the year, this will be it' WENDY COPE 
  Writing on everything from a defence of suburban life and moderate politics to big ideas and pop culture, Daniel Finkelstein is one of the UK’s most entertaining and widely read columnists. 
  This collection brings together Finkelstein’s greatest writings from The Times, ranging from the personal – with his articles on growing up Jewish in Hendon Central and on the deaths of both of his parents – to the political, with columns on how to predict elections, the way political science showed us Ed Miliband was on his way to defeat, and why the base rate of coups meant Jeremy Corbyn wouldn’t be ousted before an election. 
  Wry, informed and often brilliantly funny, these pieces zip between Walt Disney, Hilary Clinton, David Bowie, Margaret Thatcher, Clement Attlee and Muhammed Ali. They make arguments about football, assisted dying, the art of becoming Prime Minister and the musical Hamilton. Cutting through the chatter to get to the centre of politics and culture, this varied and stimulating book gives an eclectic insight into the biggest conversations of the modern day. Everything is here. In moderation of course. 
  As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Finkelstein's collection of writings is a testament to his literary prowess and popularity. His autobiography-like pieces, filled with personal anecdotes and social commentary, are a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of politics and culture. 
  For fans of Ariana Neumann (When Time Stopped), Jack Fairweather (The Prosecutor), Robert M. Edsel (Remember Us), Martin Amis (The War Against Cliche), and Tony Blair (A Journey).
