    Vanishing Life on Earth

    The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
    existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
    history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
    The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
    have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
    The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
    selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
    microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
    Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
    and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
    diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

    Bulow Hammock - Mind in a Forest

    In Florida, there exists a very special ecosystem where sub-tropical and north-temperate vegetation meet— Bulow Hammock. Saved by conservationists, it is one of the last stands of forest on the East Coast. This hardwood grove in Florida's open marshes and pine wood is now a State Park where complex life thrives. In the tradition of Peter Matthiessen and Stephen Jay Gould, David Rains Wallace links natural history with the imagination for an intensive study of this unique and beautiful ecosystem. Wallace blends ecological philosophy, history, and personal reminiscence to explore Bulow Hammock— as well as the relationship between the human mind and the natural world.

    '. . . there is a quiet here that doesn't exist on land, a fluid suspension that reminds me that humans were never meant to be so rigid, so fixed in place. In the sea, we are both vulnerable and free . . .'
    Deep Blue is a love letter to the sea, exploring humans' deep connection with the ocean and the bliss of swimming, diving, dipping and simply being in salt water.
    Join Veruska De Vita, a learner free diver and open-water swimmer, as she delves into why the ocean calls to us. Along the way she talks to those who find healing and wellness in swimming groups and cold-water immersion, scientists who study complex marine environments, elite athletes who swim super-human distances along our coasts and free divers who plumb the depths with one breath.
    Water is primordial. It gives life. It represents hope and renewal. This book is not only for sea worshippers. It promises to inspire everyone to jump with joy into the waves – and offers reflections on our intimate relationship with the sea, which supports life on earth and requests that we respect it.
