    Examines how settler colonial and sexist infrastructures and narratives order a resource boom 
     
     
     
    Over the past decade, new oil plays have unsettled U.S. energy landscapes and imaginaries. Settling the Boom studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom in the northern Great Plains are contained through the extension of settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms. 
     
     
     
    This collection reveals the results of sustained research in Williston, North Dakota, the epicenter of the "Bakken Boom." While the boom brought a rapid influx of capital and workers, the book questions simple timelines of before and after. Instead, Settling the Boom demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil play resolve through normative narratives and material and affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism's violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space. Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken.

    The male/female dichotomy is not obvious, and the feminist “we” is far from self-evident; its definition changes according to currents and ideologies. As well as fighting male domination, feminism can also defend different expressions of gender and sexuality. By examining the ideas defended by the different currents and how they fit into the social landscape, this book clarifies the direction in which they must unite if feminism is to remain a historically fertile movement.

    The Tools by Phil Stutz | Book Summary 
    Important note: This is not the original audiobook, this is an audiobook summary. 
    AboutThe Tools: Transform Your Problems into Courage, Confidence, and Creativity by Phil Stutz, Barry Michels 
    The Tools is a book based on a set of practices designed by two therapists (Barry Michels and Phil Stutz) to offer a way to combat one of the most common complaints they heard from their patients: “What are the specific changes I need to make to help myself heal—what are the actions I need to take to conquer negative behaviors?”  
     
    With these “tools,” we learn to find courage, turn pain into positive action, create focus, develop discipline, and express ourselves fully. The tools in this book provide us with a set of principles to combat anxiety and cultivate confidence.  
     
    For years, Phil Stutz and Barry Michels only shared these tools with an exclusive patient base. Now, with the help of this book, those very same revolutionary techniques are now accessible to anyone—including you. 
     
    Learn how to: 
     
    –Use "the tools" to transform your problems into proper action to move forward in life 
     
    –Step out of your comfort zone 
     
    –Avoid staying trapped in the past 
     
    –Step over anxiety and unfreeze yourself to do things you once feared 
     
    –Live in the present moment 
     
    –And much more
