Book excerpt: Faced with climate change, many counsel "going green," encouraging us to buy organic food or a "clean" car, for example. But can we rely on consumerism to provide a solution to the very problems it has helped cause? Heather Rogers travels from Paraguay to Indonesia, via the Hudson Valley, Detroit, and Germany's Black Forest, to investigate green capitalism, and argues for solutions that are not mere palliatives or distractions, but ways of engaging with how we live and the kind of world we want to live in. A new afterword considers various ways in which national development might be freed from its dependence on economic growth, allowing for a decent standard of living without exhausting the planet's resources.

Book excerpt: The environmental movement is the most densely organized movement in human history. Green Gone Wrong is a sweeping view of the environmental movement that began and reached its full legitimate expression in the United States in the 20th Century, yet, as the book argues, has lost its way in the 21st Century. The book critically examines the environmental movement; its environmentalist believers, its motivating philosophers, philosophies and psychology. The book explores the concepts of ecopolitics and fear mongering that have infected environmentalism and its government bureaucratic legacy. The book also calls for a re-introduction of good science into environmental policy decisions. Green Gone Wrong takes a candid and contemporary look at the negative impacts of ecopolitics on your life, property and constitutional rights. The book presents cases of ecopolitical abuses in public debates and legal conflicts, and portrays the condition of today's environment in surprisingly positive terms. This fact-filled and fully-referenced work is from the provocative perspective of an environmental scientist who has solved real environmental problems for 25 years. Through this insightful account, your understanding of our environment will change from one of endless problems to one of amazing solutions.

Book excerpt: The second thrilling book in Sally Green's Half Bad trilogy, the inspiration for the Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself "An enthralling fantasy in the Harry Potter tradition."—Time magazine on Half Bad Kept in a cage for two years by the Council of Fairborn Witches, Nathan was trained to kill his father, the most violent and feared of the Blood Witches. Now Nathan has escaped, and he dreams of a quiet life of freedom with Annalise, the girl he loves—but Annalise is a prisoner, wasting away in a deathlike sleep. Nathan’s friend, Gabriel, is missing, likely dead, and although Nathan has found his unique magical Gift, he can’t control it. The Council's Hunters are on his trail, so he is always on the run. Nathan's only hope of survival is to join with new allies and old enemies in an alliance to bring down the Council, and they want Nathan's help: they, too, want Nathan to be a killer. Maybe that is the only way out. Maybe that is just who he is now… Set in modern-day Europe, the second book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It's a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love. Now streaming on Netflix as The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence and observations are presented, demonstrating that the primary cause of the earth warming trend is a collective result due to very large sources of: heat, moisture, CO2, smoke and other substances that absorb solar radiation. Examples are: lightning, nuclear reactions, volcano eruptions, wildfires, human and animal metabolism and probably others that have not been identified herein. All the above contributors are natural sources. The case is presented whereby a significant amount of human and animal activity are coincident with life processes and are therefore not controllable; whereas some activities are a matter of choice and are controllable. Earth is presently in a period of increased heat released from volcanic activity and from human and animal population growth. Although no quantitative evidence is presented, there is the possibility that heat from lightning and deep ocean thermal vents may also be increasing. This leads to the conclusion that the relatively low concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is a minor source of global or regional warming and/or climate change. It also implies that decrease of CO2 in the atmosphere will not significantly ameliorate or control climate changea specious speculation based upon a fallacious postulation. Further, the cases presented lead to an explanation of the frequently observed lack of correlation between atmospheric CO2 concentration and global temperature change. Finally, it is also concluded that CO2 is ubiquitous, pervasive and essential to all living organisms. It is neither an environmental pollutant nor a hazardous chemical under normal environmental circumstances.
