  Ireland has little left of its original natural habitats. Many species, like the curlew, are under pressure due to intensive practices such as farming, forestry and fisheries and some are threatened with extinction. But given a little help from us, nature has the innate capacity to restore itself.
  
  
  Nature restoration is the positive management of the environment for the benefit of wildlife and people. It looks to the future, by steering natural habitats and wildlife in a better and more sustainable direction.
  
  
  In Future Wild: Nature Restoration in Ireland, Richard Nairn explores numerous active restoration projects around Ireland which show how natural habitats and native species can be restored sustainably for the benefit of everyone. From individual landowners and voluntary organisations to state bodies such as Bord na Móna, he meets the people who are dedicated to nature restoration.
  
  
  By turns shocking, hopeful and finally positive, Future Wild shows that the damage we have done to nature can also be undone by us, and that, with nature restoration, we can create a richer and more diverse environment for generations to come.

  Manifesto for the Revitalisation...

  The housing crisis in Portugal serves to illustrate a problem that has implications beyond the borders of the country, shedding light on challenges that are faced by major European and global cities. The rise in housing prices, driven by real estate speculation, the growth of tourism and the influx of foreign investment, has made it increasingly challenging for many in the population, especially the middle and lower classes, to access home ownership or renting. 
  The digitalisation of work has opened the possibility for highly qualified professionals to consider where they would like to live, regardless of the physical location of their job. Cities like Lisbon and Porto have become increasingly attractive destinations, offering a good quality of life combined with a range of professional opportunities. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has placed additional strain on the real estate market, leading to rising prices and the displacement of residents to the outskirts. 
  The housing policies that have been adopted thus far have not been as effective as might have been hoped, and in some cases may even have had the opposite effect. It seems that measures such as strict rent control, poorly targeted subsidies and the massive construction of new housing without proper urban and infrastructural planning have not solved the problem, and in some cases may have made it worse. Perhaps it would be beneficial to reconsider these approaches, acknowledging their shortcomings and adapting them to reflect the current situation. 
  It may be worth considering rehabilitating vacant buildings as a viable and sustainable solution. By restoring existing buildings, we can explore ways to increase the supply of affordable housing, revitalise run-down urban areas and preserve historical and cultural heritage to promote more inclusive and sustainable cities.

  Open and Async - The...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Working from home ≠ working remotely. 
   
  Your company shipped everyone a laptop, bolted Zoom onto the same approval chains, and called it remote work. It wasn't. It was office work in sweatpants—same meetings, same status theater, same hallway politics, just piped through a webcam. 
   
  There's a world of difference between being forced to work from home and intentionally building a distributed, async culture. This book is about that difference. 
   
  Drawn from more than a decade at GitHub—remote-first before it was fashionable—Open and Async is the opinionated, practical playbook for the two practices that make distributed work actually work: working in the open and communicating asynchronously. Async is the operating system; remote is the hardware. 
   
  Inside, you'll learn to treat meetings as escalation rather than default, give every decision a URL so context survives reorgs and departures, "work loudly" so your impact is visible without performing busyness, and run 1:1s, weekly reports, and career conversations that aren't a tax on everyone's time. 
   
  For managers: build teams that ship without constant synchronous coordination. For individual contributors: become visible, effective, and promotable on the strength of your work—not the luck of your seating chart. 
   
  Stop digitizing the office. Start building something better. 
   
  A note on narration: Written entirely by a human (me); read by a synthetic one. Shipping the version that's actually feasible beats waiting on the ideal one—so here's the audiobook, in an AI voice, today. A human narrator, maybe, down the line.
