Book excerpt: Amazonia had a reputation for strangeness even among the zany worlds of the United Planets Federation. It was a spartan planet ruled by a fearsome military caste -- made up exclusively of women. The males of Amazonia usually wound up in some warrior's harem. When Guy Thomas arrived he was allowed the privilege of landing only because he offered the government profitable trade agreements, but it wasn't long before his real plans were fulfilled by his secret meetings with the male-liberationist revolutionary group, The Sons of Liberty. They needed a lot of help. The more he got involved, however, the more he got the feeling that something was wrong with the whole setup. Guy Thomas was soon to learn that there was more to Amazonia than met the eye -- AND HE WASN'T GOING TO LIKE THE TRUTH AT ALL!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late nineteenth century, religiously themed books in America have been commercially popular yet scorned by critics. Working at the intersection of literary history, lived religion, and consumer culture, Erin A. Smith considers the largely unexplored world of popular religious books, examining the apparent tension between economic and religious imperatives for authors, publishers, and readers. Smith argues that this literature served as a form of extra-ecclesiastical ministry and credits the popularity and longevity of religious books to their day-to-day usefulness rather than their theological correctness or aesthetic quality. Drawing on publishers' records, letters by readers to authors, promotional materials, and interviews with contemporary religious-reading groups, Smith offers a comprehensive study that finds surprising overlap across the religious spectrum--Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish, liberal and conservative. Smith tells the story of how authors, publishers, and readers reconciled these books' dual function as best-selling consumer goods and spiritually edifying literature. What Would Jesus Read? will be of interest to literary and cultural historians, students in the field of print culture, and scholars of religious studies.

Book excerpt: “An indispensable guide for anyone who wants to live to age 100—by making sure there’s a livable world when you get there.” —Dan Buettner, New York Times–bestselling author of The Blue Zones Do you consider yourself an environmental ally? Maybe you recycle your household goods, ride a bike, and avoid too much air travel. But did you know that the primary driver of climate change isn’t plastics, or cars, or airplanes? Did you know that it’s actually our industrialized food system? In this fascinating new book, authors Nil Zacharias and Gene Stone share new research, intriguing infographics, and compelling arguments that support what scientists across the world are beginning to affirm and uphold: By making even minimal dietary changes, anyone can have a positive, lasting impact on our planet. If you love the planet, the only way to save it is by switching out meat for plant-based meals, one bite at a time. “This fascinating, easy-to-read book will give you still another reason to eat plants and not animals: you will be doing a world of good—literally!” —Rip Esselstyn, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Plant-Strong “Eating plants is not just good for your own health, it’s imperative for the health of the planet. This well-argued, well-written book makes it clear why everyone should consider a plant-based diet today.” —Michael Greger, MD, New York Times–bestselling author of How Not to Die “Possibly the single most important environmental book I’ve read in years. A must for everyone.” —Kathy Freston, New York Times–bestselling author of The Lean

Book excerpt: Voyaging into a sector of interstellar space that is plunged into total darkness with an absolute absence of any light, the four Cosmic Crusaders encounter their most powerful and sinister enemy yet--an alien mastermind who is regarded as a God by the race he has created. This scientist has altered the nature of space itself, so that it no longer conducts light, forcing the slaves he's created to evolve without eyes, and to develop extrasensory perception. Not content with shaping the evolution of their bodies, the mastermind also contrives an apparatus that impresses on their minds the need to conquer and dominate, thus creating a menace to the universe that the Crusaders must try to eliminate. Another rousing adventure in this long-running science-fiction adventure series!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acting as the planet's air conditioner, the rainforest sucks up millions of tons of greenhouse gases and stores them safely out of the atmosphere. South America's deforestation threatens to unleash a kind of "carbon bomb" that will add to our already deteriorating climate difficulties. As he travels across Peru and Brazil, recognized South America expert Nikolas Kozloff talks to locals, scientists and activists about the rainforest and what should be done to avert its collapse. Drawing on his expertise of South American politics, Kozloff argues that cooperation between the world's countries is essential in turning back the tide of climate change and that the fate of the planet depends on our response to environmental problems within the southern hemisphere.

Book excerpt: In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where the air is thick with humidity and the lush foliage stretches as far as the eye can see, a symphony of life unfolds. It is a place where the rhythms of nature reverberate through every leaf, every river, and every creature that calls this vibrant ecosystem home. For centuries, the Amazon has been a source of wonder and intrigue, capturing the imaginations of explorers, scientists, and artists alike. Its towering trees, diverse wildlife, and mystical beauty have inspired countless tales and fueled a yearning to uncover its secrets. But there is one story, a tale of profound significance, that lies at the heart of the Amazon's ancient rhythms. It is a story of a young girl named Ana, whose journey would forever change the course of her life, her tribe, and the destiny of the rainforest itself. Within the tapestry of Ana's tale, the threads of discovery, courage, and interconnectedness are woven together. Through her eyes, we witness the awakening of a deep connection to the rhythms of the Amazon-a connection that transcends the boundaries of time, culture, and the human spirit. In this prologue, we stand on the precipice of Ana's odyssey, ready to embark on a journey that will take us through the hidden corners of the rainforest, into the hearts and minds of its inhabitants, and ultimately, into the very soul of the Amazon itself. The rhythms of the Amazon beckon, their melodies filled with mystery and wisdom. And as we turn the page, we step into a world where the pulse of nature guides the steps of those who dare to listen, reminding us of the profound interplay between humanity and the Earth. Join us now, as we dive into the first chapter of Ana's story, where the awakening of a young girl sets in motion a sequence of events that will shape the future of the Amazon, and perhaps even our own place within this vast and interconnected world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays selected for this volume illustrate the growing interest in and importance of crime that is both environmental and transnational in nature. The topics covered range from pollution and waste to biodiversity and wildlife crimes, and from the violation of human rights associated with the exploitation of natural resources through to the criminogenic implications of climate change. The collection provides insight into the nature and dynamics of this type of crime and examines in detail who is harmed and what can be done about it. Differential victimisation and contemporary developments in environmental law enforcement are also considered. Collectively, these essays lay the foundations for a criminology that is forward looking, global in its purview, and that deals with the key environmental issues of the present age.
