  In 2015, a group of twenty-one young people sued the federal government for violating their constitutional rights by promoting the climate catastrophe, depriving them of life, liberty, and property without due process of law. They Knew offers evidence for their claims, presenting a devastating, play-by-play account of the federal government's role in bringing about today's climate crisis. James Speth, tapped by the plaintiffs as an expert on climate, documents how administrations from Carter to Trump—despite having information about climate change and the connection to fossil fuels—continued aggressive support of a fossil fuel based energy system. 
   
   
    
  What did the federal government know and when did it know it? Speth asks, echoing another famous cover up. What did the federal government do and what did it not do? They Knew (an updated version of the Expert Report Speth prepared for the lawsuit) presents the most compelling indictment yet of the government's role in the climate crisis, showing a forty-year failure to take action. 
   
  Since Juliana v. United States was filed, the federal government has repeatedly delayed the case. Yet even in legal limbo, it has helped inspire a generation of youthful climate activists.

  This book contains 6 titles of different hobbies to explore: 
  Bird Watching - Bird watching, also known as birding, is a recreational activity where individuals observe and study birds in their natural habitats. It can range from casual observation in one's backyard to more serious pursuits involving travel to specific locations to see rare or interesting bird species. 
  Genealogy - Genealogy delves into the complex web of family relationships and historical contexts that shape individual and collective identities. It often begins with an inquiry into one's own family background, such as understanding the origins and branches of one’s family tree. Researchers use various resources, including birth, marriage, and death records, census data, military records, and immigration documents, to trace the lineage and connections of family members across generations. 
  Larping - Live Action Role Playing, commonly known as LARP, is a form of role-playing game where participants embody their characters physically and interact within a structured narrative. Unlike traditional tabletop role-playing games, LARP involves players dressing in costumes, using props, and engaging in live-action scenarios that unfold in real-time. 
  Metal Detecting - Metal detecting involves using a metal detector, an electronic device designed to find metal objects nearby. These devices vary in form, from handheld wands to large industrial machines. 
  Podcasting - Podcasting has revolutionized the way we consume content, offering a platform for voices from all walks of life to share their stories, expertise, and passions with a global audience. 
  Stand-up Comedy - Stand-up comedy, as a form of entertainment, has deep roots that trace back through various historical and cultural practices of humor and performance.

  Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

  Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
   
   
   
  Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

The program is intended for people who have no prior experience as well as those who have some. Each chapter places an emphasis on practical alternatives, such as growing your own food and constructing a home that is both energy-efficient and sturdy. Examples of these options are provided throughout the book. The utilization of renewable energy sources and the maintenance of a sustainable water supply are two more themes that are discussed. 
  A sustainable style of life is one that reduces reliance on external sources and develops a close connection with parts of the natural world. Living off the grid requires recognizing both the benefits and the problems of such a way of life. Not only does this book provide an emphasis on practical solutions, but it also places an emphasis on resiliency, adaptation, and the mindset that is required to survive while being independent.

  Programming - Learn Assembly...

  This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
  1 - Assembly language is often considered a bridge between high-level programming languages and machine code. Unlike high-level languages such as Python or C, which use human-readable syntax and abstract away many details of the underlying hardware, assembly language provides a more direct representation of the CPU's operations. Each assembly language instruction corresponds to a specific operation that the CPU can perform, such as loading data from memory, performing arithmetic calculations, or branching based on conditions. These instructions are typically represented using mnemonic codes, which are easier for humans to understand compared to the binary machine code instructions that the CPU actually executes. 
  2 - Computer science is a field that deals with the study of computers and computational systems. It encompasses both the theoretical and practical aspects of computing, including algorithms, data structures, programming languages, software engineering, and more. It's about understanding how computers work, how they can solve problems, and how they interact with humans and other systems.
