Humanity, as we know it, is on the verge of extinction. There's a common thread to every single mass extinction in our planet's history. It's global warming. From the Permian Mass Extinction 250 million years ago that killed off 95% of all life on Earth to the K/T mass extinction 65 million years ago that killed off the dinosaurs, all were brought about by a sudden warming of the planet. New research shows that once that warming hits a tipping point of 5-6 degrees Celsius, it triggers a cataclysmic melting of sea ice and the release of noxious methane gasses stored deep in the oceans around the world and below the permafrost in the Arctic, which further accelerates the warming of the planet to temperatures unsuitable to life. This book, The Last Hours of Humanity, goes where far too few researchers have been willing to go, which is addressing global warming not as an economic or political problem, but as a geological problem that threatens the survival of every living thing on the planet, including us humans. By bringing together climate scientists, geologists, and cutting edge research too often left out of the global warming debate, the Last Hours of Humanity exposes the dangerous future of planet Earth, and what we humans have to do right now to save our species.

"The Dolphin Letters", subtitled "Vital Information from Sea to Land" is just that, a compendium of vital information from an unlikely source, part of the intelligence that lives in the water, the dolphins. The information in this book lends not just hope to the human race, but excitement about the future as well during these dynamically shifting times. Interestingly enough, this book is not primarily about saving the planet, or the dolphins. Rather, the book offers a way of understanding that for the human race to go on to thrive, it must save itself BY coming to collaborate with the intelligence in the waters, and in all parts of the natural world, for that matter. It is US we are trying to save. The dolphins communicate in a tone that is unique and strangely recognizable. The author was merely the "scribe" as she puts it. How that came to be she explains in the beginning of the book, but the point of why this book is important is definitely about the vital and now shared information it contains. To read this book is to be simultaneously uplifted and grounded in undeniable truth.

UNSCHEDULED MEETINGS describes the author’s personal experiences in encounters, all unexpected, with some of the most startling wild animals on several continents. Examples are a face-to-face meeting with a bull elephant on a riverside trail in Africa and the sudden discovery, one early morning, that she was closely following a mountain lion on a ridge top in the Sierra foothills.   The author could easily have been killed in some meet-up instances but was never threatened. When a comfort zone between the animal and the person is respected by both, they can observe and learn about one another without fear on either side. Up to this point our understanding of wildlife has been very limited, and recent observations demonstrate that animals, from domestic to wild, have unusual powers and capabilities that have thus far defied scientific understanding.   The underlying theme of the book is that humanity and the earth itself needs wild species—which usually manage their own numbers well if not interfered with by humans—for the well-being of all. Species are vanishing rapidly because of the war we are committing upon them and our environment. The book has an introduction, followed by twenty-five essays that can be read in any order, and a conclusion

Uncertainty creates anxiety, and we are engaged in a modern collective anxiety known as money anxiety disorder. Money anxiety disorder lies at the heart of so many of the disruptions that occur in our lives, our society, and our world. It can be triggered by events like fluctuations in the marketplace, losing a job, having to ask for a raise, enduring  a divorce, or simply struggling to stay on budget. Like the economy itself, our anxiety about money fluctuates, but we don’t have to be at the mercy of it. We can learn to cope with unpredictable financial times and stop the panic. There is  a cure for money anxiety disorder.

The tale of The Emissary continues in The Emerald Tablet - Book II. Authors Veitch &amp; DeFazio have once again masterfully blended spirituality, fantasy, historical fiction, and adventure in the second installment of this unforgettable magical realism tale. The Golden Age has ended and a time of darkness has descended upon the entire planet. Our salvation rests with the reincarnated Emissaries as does the fate of the Emerald Tablet - a sacred object containing vital secrets of the Atitalan Elders and a tool with the power to open portals through time and space. The Adversaries seek to weaponize the coveted Tablet's mystical powers and plunge the world into a never-ending Age of Darkness. The race to find the Emerald Tablet stretches through the Ages--Ancient Greece, Mongolia, and World War II Europe--into present day. Unlike Theron, mortal enemies Marcus and Helghul both suffer the complications of having past-life memory. Through every incarnation they seek to possess her, and the ancient relic. Marcus is torn between his longing for his true love (or soulmate) and his sworn duty to protect the Tablet. Helghul is a tortured soul, cursed by a beast-like entity that is feeding on his every evil act and growing stronger within him, each darkening lifetime. How the battle is fought is a glimpse into our earth's history and the lessons learned are the evolving nature of the soul.

If you are driving off a cliff, someone telling you to slow down isn't much of a help. (Well, slowing down while you turn in a new direction is likely to be a good idea.) By burning fossil fuels, humanity is now driving itself off a climate cliff toward extinction. We need to completely stop burning "stuff" (fossil fuels, or anything else) for energy. Yet to thrive we really do need lots of energy -- in fact, even more than we now are using. This book shows how we can meet both of these needs by creating a new infrastructure context in which existing technologies will work far better than they do now. Not only will we get all our energy at less than one tenth the cost per kilowatt-hour, we will speed up long-distance transportation at least tenfold, plus give everyone a chance to enjoy space travel. And that is just the beginning.

We say leaders are “Fearless.” But for others, leaders are Iconic or even Legendary, even if only in their industry or company. But words like “legendary" or “iconic" don’t help you understand the WHY or the HOW of such leaders. Fearless does.

A Fearless Leader — •Acts with inspiring courage, •Reacts with resilience, •Thinks with mindfulness, and •Excels with unrelenting fire.In their powerful book, Fearless Leaders: Sharpen Your Focus, Greenberg and North explain these principles to analyze some of the greatest leaders of our time and throughout history. They also provide readers with essential exercises, tools, and techniques for learning, building, and strengthening these principles in themselves. Readers who use these tools and techniques will learn how to: •Master fear and gain the courage to fail in order to succeed; •Be their best...when it counts the most; •Lead with reliance and passion in every aspect of life.“Fearless Leaders" is a must-read for leaders who want to move forward fearlessly in their own lives and inspire courageous work in others.

The Gratitude Game is a 21-day Walk to Wealth program designed to make prosperity and abundance your daily habit. Each day you learn to adopt a new mindset, add another tool to your skill set and to take action toward living a richer life. You will learn how to protect your assets, beautify your bottom line, compound your gains (instead of your debt) and to stop making everyone else rich at your own expense. As you shift into wealth consciousness, and out of debt consciousness, you will become a healthier, wealthier, more beautiful you. As you become the architect of your Dream Come True Life, then you can become more mindful about co-creating stronger communities and nations, and protecting our planet. This might sound too ambitious, or airy fairy or out of reach. However, once prosperity and abundance become the way life is, and we are no longer operating with fear, worry, doubt, anger or greed as our primary emotions with regard to money, we will already be beautifying our world. Americans are carrying almost $12 trillion in consumer debt. 1/3 are being chased by a debt collector. So, chances are you know a few people who can use this information. Give The Gratitude Game 21 days -- a chapter a day -- and it will change your life.
