    With their towering, cinnamon-colored trunks and dusky green canopies, ponderosa pine has long been a charismatic icon of the American West. Yet a quiet unraveling has begun: in the past decade, in a vast area from Santa Fe to the Sierras, more than two hundred million ponderosa have died. While some trees will survive in cooler places, scientists estimate that by mid-century less than five percent of the ponderosa in the American Southwest may remain. As the very character of this vast region shifts, what will be left behind? And how can we come to terms with such profound loss?In The Twilight Forest, Gary Ferguson brings listeners on an expansive journey through the ponderosa forests of the Southwest both to mourn—and to celebrate—the forests that nurtured him. In warm and luminous storytelling, Ferguson weaves together the human and natural history of ponderosa, from its march across the West more than 10,000 years ago, to centuries of artists inspired by its dazzling stature and shady passageways. Both wildfire and climate change are constant presences on this journey. Fire is necessary for healthy forests but has turned deadly, while climate change stresses even the hardiest beings of the natural world. Yet the story of ponderosa reminds us that loss can be a gateway to connection—to nature and each other.

    AI: Rise of the Lightspeed Learners

    Powerful new autonomous machines called AIs are popping up all around us. The most important of these, says former AI industry CEO Charles Jennings, are the Lightspeed Learners--AIs with the power to learn on their own. 
    Jennings' new book, "AI: Rise of the Lightspeed Learners", explores how AIs are affecting everything from trucking to dentistry, currency trading to warfare. It grapples with the existential challenges AI presents to humanity, and concludes the biggest threat is not killer robots, but dangerous dictators. “There are potentially disastrous consequences for Americans of all political persuasions if China leaps ahead of us in AI," he says. "An AI-dominant China would ultimately take the lead in high tech, financial services, military weapons, energy systems, transportation, manufacturing and more. AI is the coolest, strangest, most dangerous, most powerful technology yet. And we Americans, funders of the crucial first fifty years of AI research, are at risk of letting it slip away.” 
    Jennings makes the case that development—and control—of “friendly AI” become an urgent political priority in the United States. But he does so less through political rants than by what he calls AI storytelling, and by taking the listener on a journey into the brave new world of AIs…a journey that includes original stories, music and poetry, as well as highly accessible explanations about how AI works, and why it matters.
