Daniel PinkRegeneration by Paul Hawken is a must-read for anyone concerned about climate change. It presents a radically new practical approach to addressing the global warming crisis, offering a comprehensive explanation of regeneration and its application. Hawken reframes the conversation about climate change by focusing on current human needs rather than future threats. This means that everyone can participate in reversing planetary degeneration and creating a better world through initiatives that include everything from marine protected areas to electrifying everything. With a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software to accompany the book, Regeneration is an inspiring and needed guide for the burgeoning climate movement.

2021-10-17T23:13:59.000ZLa primera expedición a Marte había desaparecido misteriosamente al llegar al planeta rojo. La segunda, un cuarto de siglo -y una guerra mundial- más tarde, encontró un único superviviente, hijo de dos miembros de la misión anterior, Valentine Michael Smith, huérfano y educado en Marte... por marcianos.
Humano por fuera, marciano por dentro, Michael habla, piensa, siente y ve el mundo como un alienígena. Llevado a la Tierra, todo es nuevo para él: la lengua, la comida, las costumbres, las mujeres... hasta el insoportable peso de la gravedad. Habría corrido el peligro de acabar convertido en atracción de feria si no fuera porque, legalmente. era el heredero de las fortunas de los miembros de la primera expedición y, además, único propietario del planeta Marte. Así que. empezando por las autoridades, son muchos los interesados en quitarle de en medio. Pero el indefenso Michael es rescatado in extremis y acaba en casa de Jubal Harshaw, médico, abogado, culto, cínico y "bon vivant". El influyente Harshaw descubre que el joven no es tan indefenso como parece, de Marte se ha traído no sólo peculiares creencias sino también extraordinarios poderes para-psicológicos y una inagotable disposición para aprender. Harshaw deja a un lado su cinismo y decide aprovechar las facultades de Michael para hacer de él una especie de nuevo mesías... Forastero en tierra extraña se convirtió en una obra de culto mediados los años sesenta. Contaba para ello con todos los ingredientes necesarios: una cultura alienígena avanzada, una lúcida defensa del misticismo y el individualismo, y, sobre todo, la capacidad de Heinlein para tejer narraciones que atrapan al lector desde la primera página.

Un mundo feliz es un clásico de la literatura del siglo XX, una sombría metáfora sobre el futuro. La novela describe un mundo en el que finalmente se han cumplido los peores vaticinios: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la comodidad y el orbe se organiza en diez zonas en apariencia seguras y estables. Sin embargo, este mundo ha sacrificado valores humanos esenciales, y sus habitantes son procreados in vitro a imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje.
Join an all-black crew of adventurers as they search for the remote island of Tsalal, described in Edgar Allan Poe's only novel. Led by recently canned American literature professor Chris Jaynes, armed with a crude slave narrative, a bag of bones, and Little Debbie snack cakes, they embark on an epic journey to the South Pole to uncover one of literature's great mysteries. Journey beneath the surface of American history on this daring quest for truth.
