    The United States was founded based on the monumental idea that everyone deserves the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet throughout our two hundred and fifty years as an independent country, we have faced many obstacles to these self-evident truths: slavery, wars, economic depressions. Still, the United States is one of the most powerful nations in the world and is a hub for global economics, innovation, and culture. How did a nation, which throughout its history has hardly been united, become one of the biggest global superpowers of the twenty-first century? 
     
    Don Watson dissects both the flaws and triumphs of our nation's history in The Shortest History of the United States. He traces moments of liberty and justice, inequity and oppression, to show how a country at war with itself in the 1860s, and the leader of the free world less than a hundred years later, became a nation beset by wild division and turmoil in the twenty-first century. Along the way he highlights the key figures who have fought for our inalienable truths—in politics and at home, on the frontiers and in our cities, in our books and music and on our screens. A sweeping history of a profoundly multicultural country, The Shortest History of the United States shows how our country continues to stand while fighting for unity and justice for all.

    In Extinction and the Human Timothy Sweet ponders the realities of animal extinction and endangerment and the often divergent Native American and Euro-American narratives that surround them. He focuses especially on the force of human impact on megafauna—mammoths, whales, and the North American bison—beginning with the moments that these species' extinction or endangerment began to generate significant print archives: transcriptions of traditional Indigenous oral narratives, historical and scientific accounts, and literary narratives by Indigenous American and Euro-American authors. 
     
     
     
    Sweet investigates culturally distinct ways of understanding the extinction of the mammoths; the impact of the Euro-American whaling industry and the revitalization of Native American whaling traditions; and the bison's near-extermination at the hands of white market hunters and today's Euro-American and Native American efforts on behalf of the animal's preservation. He reflects on humans' relations with animals through models of divine preservation, competitive extermination, evolutionary determination, biophilia, and treaties with animals. Ultimately, he argues, it is the critical assessment of ideas of human exceptionalism that provides a necessary counterpoint both to apologies for human mastery over nature and deep ecology's attempts to erase the human.

    Dreaming the Universe – Exploring the Hidden Secrets of Sleep is a journey into the mysteries of the dreamworld - an unseen landscape where science, spirituality, and the subconscious converge. From the forgotten third of our lives spent asleep, to the ancient cultures that revered dreams as gateways to wisdom, this audiobook unveils the extraordinary patterns behind our nightly visions. 
    Discover how the architecture of sleep shapes our consciousness, why dreams often mirror waking life, and how symbols and archetypes form a secret language of the inner world. Explore the mysteries of prophetic dreams, déjà vu, lucid dreaming, and the possibility that the universe itself dreams through us. 
    Blending neuroscience, psychology, mythology, and metaphysics, this thought-provoking exploration reveals how dreams connect us to deeper layers of reality - sometimes even bending time, guiding synchronicities, and offering glimpses of futures yet to unfold. 
    Whether you are a lucid dreamer, a seeker of hidden knowledge, or simply curious about the vast untapped realm within, Dreaming the Universe will open your mind to the profound power of sleep and the dreaming self. 
    Step into the night. Enter the dream. And awaken to the universe within.
