    Climate Hope - Stories of Action...

    Climate change is a problem so enormous and complex—with threats so frightening in their implications—that many of us fend off confusion and hopelessness by simply turning away. Meanwhile, with delayed action, missed targets, and increasingly dire reports at the international level, a notion that the crisis is intractable continues to spread. And the proposed solutions can be just as daunting. They often involve jargon about gigatons of carbon and kilowatt-hours of electricity. In a deeply polarized political environment, any sense of the common purpose required to make these work seems to dissolve into denial or paralysis. With all this fear and conflict, the question must be asked: How do we find the tools and the hope we need to tackle such a wickedly difficult issue? 
     
     
     
    In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

    This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB (Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. 
    He saw breathing as a fundamental measurable parameter in the treatment of 150 common diseases and because of his disciplined scientific research he never allowed it to be considered simply an alternative asthma treatment' as it is often now perceived in the West. With trained practitioners and Breathing clinics it would result in a profound improvement in the health of millions of people suffering from many different conditions throughout the world. 
    Here is a summary of the main chapters: 
    1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science. 
    2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail. 
    3. Large practical guide (CEOB Breath Retraining Manual) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting. 
    4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program. 
    5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective. 
    6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia. 
    The book's approximate length is 35,000 words.

    An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture 
     
    Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger. 
     
    In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’sPro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. 
     
    Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture ― and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness ― to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.
