Synopsis

Cody And The Frack-Attack Pack
Whoever Thought Stopping Fracking Could Be So Doggone Fun?
Things are getting pretty "ruff" in old Timberton tonight...
Chesapuke NRG has targeted Timberton for its next round of foolhardy fracking. Their Heads of Business have dispatched the nefarious (and very warty) Chinny Finster (and his rotten henchmen) to convince the townsfolk to lease their land for their mineral rights. Chinny is planning one hell of a show (a razzmatazzy town meeting) to do just that.
But Cody, a frisky chocolate lab, and his pack of canine crusaders, have no intention of letting this environmental degradation defile their home. Now they must fight Chesapuke's propaganda machine with one of their own. Upon hearing of Chinny's upcoming sales presentation, our mutley crew whips up a sobering dose of counterprogramming for the audience. It's corporate propaganda vs community pupaganda! It's the brazen display of unconditional love needed to remind people their home is worth fighting for!
Over twenty-five handcrafted illustrations bring captivating visual accompaniment to the story's often surreal beats. In addition to a thorough Glossary and Bibliography, there are seven "Hard-as-a-Brick" Reality Essays to help Readers gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues (fracking, climate gentrification, lead poisoning, etc.).

    Horses are valuable teachers and healers, and give us powerful lessons in how to be effective leaders. In this 2022 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Carolyn Resnick reveals the secrets of how a horse gains and maintains its leadership of a herd of wild horses. What makes a good leader in a stallion of a herd of wild horses can be used for human leadership as well: it does not lead by coercion or waging battles, but creates unity, harmony, and respect including the personal space of others.  
    Carolyn Resnick is the founder of The Resnick Method of Horsemanship and offers many online courses, clinics, retreats, and certification opportunities that create a magical connection with horses using rituals that are innate to the horse. She is a master horse communicator who grew up with horses and spent three summers of her childhood gradually becoming accepted into a community of wild horses, culminating in her ability to ride a lead mare bareback and without a bridle. She is the author of Naked Liberty: Memoirs of My Childhood, Guided by Passion, Educated by Wild Horses (Amigo Publications, Inc. 2005).

    In “Sleep”, Carlos H. Schenck, M.D., a leading sleep expert with over 40 years experience, presents a probing exploration of sleep, an activity that occupies over 200,000 hours of our lives. This timeless book delves into the intricate processes of sleep and the peculiar dysfunctions that can emerge, ranging from common issues like insomnia and sleep apnea to the more mysterious and extreme disorders known as “parasomnias”. These include dream enactment, sleep related eating disorder, sexsomnia, night terrors, and sleep violence, which surprisingly affect millions. 
    What distinguishes Dr. Schenck's work is his focus on the forefront of sleep science, particularly in identifying and treating parasomnias. He reveals their connection to more typical sleep problems and the implications for their treatment. The book is enriched with startling real-life examples from Dr. Schenck's extensive clinical practice, such as a woman who discovers chocolate wrappers in her bed upon waking or a man who, in his sleep, mistakenly perceives his wife as a threat. These narratives, drawn directly from patient experiences, illustrate the often terrifying and dangerous aspects of these disorders, offering hope and solutions to those affected and their families. 
    Significantly, each chapter of the book encompasses a wide range of sleep disorders, enriched with personal stories reported by Dr. Schenck's patients. These accounts provide an intimate first-person perspective on living with these conditions, making the book a uniquely relevant and comprehensive guide for anyone suffering from sleep disorders. By combining engaging patient narratives with the latest in medical research, "Sleep" serves as an essential resource for understanding and navigating the complex world of sleep disorders, shedding light on one of our most enigmatic medical puzzles.

    A Country of Two Agricultures

    Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.
    These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.
    A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.
    Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.
    Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security.
    Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.
