Summary

AUTISM AND STANDARD OF LIVINGABOUT THE BOOKWhat if the comforts of modern life are quietly harming the youngest among us?In “Autism and Standard of Living”, Zivota Nikolic takes a bold step outside conventional medical thinking to explore how contemporary living spaces and environmental design may be contributing to the alarming rise in autism diagnoses. Drawing on years of independent research, Nikolic examines how poor ventilation, sealed environments, and rising carbon dioxide levels in homes, hospitals, and schools could be impacting early brain development—especially in infants and toddlers.This book doesn’t attempt to replace scientific consensus but instead invites a closer look at what has long been overlooked. Nikolic blends architecture, environmental science, and developmental biology to present a compelling case for rethinking the way we live, sleep, and raise our children. He questions the design of baby cribs, the configuration of HVAC systems, and the very standards by which modern buildings are constructed.If you’ve ever wondered why autism rates have surged in recent decades despite advances in medicine, this thought-provoking investigation offers a fresh lens. With clarity, logic, and urgency, “Autism and Standard of Living” challenges readers to see the unseen—and consider practical solutions rooted in simple changes to our surroundings.This is not just a book about autism. It is a call to rethink what we call progress.

    A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
		 
For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
		 
Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
		 
With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.

    National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal. By contrasting the native histories of these places with the links between Indian policy developments and preservationist efforts, this work examines the complex origins of the national parks and the troubling consequences of the American wilderness ideal. The first study to place national park history within the context of the early reservation era, it details the ways that national parks developed into one of the most important arenas of contention between native peoples and non-Indians in the twentieth century.

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
 
 
 
A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
 
 
 
In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.
