When the Wind Stops: Inside the...

Alex Southwick

The world is racing to reinvent how it powers itself — yet every solution carries its own cost. Wind farms rise where wildlands once stretched untouched, lithium mines carve into deserts, and the dream of “clean” energy grows tangled in politics, inequality, and human ambition. 
In When the Wind Stops, Alex Southwick takes readers behind the headlines of the global energy revolution. From Arctic oil rigs standing silent in thawing seas to the vast solar fields of Morocco and the wind-swept coasts of Denmark, Southwick meets the engineers, visionaries, and communities living through this historic shift. 
This is not a simple story of progress or failure. It’s a portrait of transition — messy, imperfect, and deeply human. With characteristic clarity and empathy, Southwick explores what it means to change the very systems that built modern civilization, and the moral choices that come with it. 
When the Wind Stops is a journey into the heart of our energy age — a reflection on power in every sense of the word, and a reminder that even as the wind falters, the will to adapt endures.

Engage Connect Protect -...

Angelou Ezeilo, Nick Chiles

Building environmental strength through a diversity of youth  
Engage, Connect, Protect explodes the myth that environmental issues are primarily of interest to wealthy white communities.     
Revealing the deep and abiding interest that African American, Latino, and Native American communities—many of whom live in degraded and polluted parts of the country—have in our collective environment, Engage, Connect, Protect is part eye-opening critique of the cultural divide in environmentalism, part biography of a leading social entrepreneur, and part practical toolkit for engaging diverse youth. It covers:   Why communities of color are largely unrecognized in the environmental movement   How to bridge the cultural divide and activate a new generation of environmental stewards   A curriculum for engaging diverse youth and young adults through culturally appropriate methods and activities   Resources for connecting mainstream America to organizations working with diverse youth within environmental projects, training, and employment.  
Engage, Connect, Protect is a wake-up call for businesses, activists, educators, and policymakers to recognize the work of grassroots activists in diverse communities and create opportunities for engaging with diverse youth as the next generation of environmental stewards, while the concern about the state of our land, air, and water continues to grow.

Socialism: Utopian and Scientific

Friedrich Engels

The main idea of "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" (1880) was distinguishing scientific socialism and utopian socialism. Engels begins by chronicaling the thought of utopian socialists, starting with Saint-Simon. He then proceeds to Fourier and Robert Owen. In chapter two, he summarizes dialectics, and then chronicles the thought from the ancient Greeks to Hegel. Chapter three summarizes dialectics in relation to economic and social struggles, essentially echoing the words of Marx. (Introduction by Wikipedia)
