Book excerpt: In order to rescue ourselves from climate catastrophe, we need to radically alter how humans live on Earth. We have to go from spending carbon to banking it. We have to put back the trees, wetlands, and corals. We have to regrow the soil and turn back the desert. We have to save whales, wombats, and wolves. We have to reverse the flow of greenhouse gases and send them in exactly the opposite direction: down, not up. We have to flip the carbon cycle and run it backwards. For such a revolutionary transformation we’ll need civilization 2.0. A secret unlocked by the ancients of the Amazon for its ability to transform impoverished tropical soils into terra preta—fertile black earths—points the way. The indigenous custom of converting organic materials into long lasting carbon has enjoyed a reawakening in recent decades as the quest for more sustainable farming methods has grown. Yet the benefits of this carbonized material, now called biochar, extend far beyond the soil. Pyrolyzing carbon has the power to restore a natural balance by unmining the coal and undrilling the oil and gas. Employed to its full potential, it can run the carbon cycle in reverse and remake Earth as a garden planet. Burn looks beyond renewable biomass or carbon capture energy systems to offer a bigger and bolder vision for the next phase of human progress, moving carbon from wasted sources: • into soils and agricultural systems to rebalance the carbon, nitrogen, and related cycles; enhance nutrient density in food; rebuild topsoil; and condition urban and agricultural lands to withstand flooding and drought • to cleanse water by carbon filtration and trophic cascades within the world’s rivers, oceans, and wetlands • to shift urban infrastructures such as buildings, roads, bridges, and ports, incorporating drawdown materials and components, replacing steel, concrete, polymers, and composites with biological carbon • to drive economic reorganization by incentivizing carbon drawdown Fully developed, this approach costs nothing—to the contrary, it can save companies money or provide new revenue streams. It contains the seeds of a new, circular economy in which energy, natural resources, and human ingenuity enter a virtuous cycle of improvement. Burn offers bold new solutions to climate change that can begin right now.

Download or read book Young Men and Fire written by Norman MacLean and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Critics Circle Award Winner: “The terrifying story of the worst disaster in the history of the US Forest Service’s elite Smokejumpers.” —Kirkus Reviews A devastating and lyrical work of nonfiction, Young Men and Fire describes the events of August 5, 1949, when a crew of fifteen of the US Forest Service’s elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy in this extraordinary book. Alongside Maclean’s now-canonical A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, Young Men and Fire is recognized today as a classic of the American West. This edition of Maclean’s later triumph—the last book he would write—includes a powerful new foreword by Timothy Egan, author of The Big Burn and The Worst Hard Time. As moving and profound as when it was first published, Young Men and Fire honors the literary legacy of a man who gave voice to an essential corner of the American soul. “A moving account of humanity, nature, and the perseverance of the human spirit.” —Library Journal “Haunting.” —The Wall Street Journal “Engrossing.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller • A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, People, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, TIME, The A.V. Club, Buzzfeed, and PopSugar “I can’t believe how good this book is.... It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect.... Wilson writes with such a light touch.... The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, author of Fleishman is in Trouble, New York Times Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang, a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with a remarkable ability. Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth. Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love.

Book excerpt: In "Around the Next Bend" Bob Shanks leads us, with many touches of wry dry Tennessee humor, through his half-century of trout fishing, from the cool rush and roar of the Great Smokies' streams to Montana's big-skied trout waters. The engaging book will appeal not only to dedicated anglers, but also to non-fishing lovers of the outdoors for whom a fly rod is just a skinny hiking stick.-Mart Baldwin, PhD, author of "Drifting the River: Growing Up Wild in the South," numerous travel essays, and a guide to off-the-path places in the CarolinasBob Shanks is a soft-spoken Southern gentleman. His decades-long love of both fishing and his fishing friends illuminates the pages of his book. These are the kinds of memories good friends swap over a fine Tennessee sipping whiskey at the end of a long day of fishing. Bob's stories are humorous, heartwarming, and sometimes heart-breaking as with losing the battle to save the Little Tennessee River from destruction at the hands of the TVA vandals. Anyone who loves fishing and fishing stories told with warmth and charm will enjoy this book. -Richard Lessner, PhD, Executive Director Madison River Foundation, Ennis, MontanaI've enjoyed fly fishing with Bob Shanks and cherished every encounter. I shared some of his favorite runs on Montana's Ruby River where he insisted that I take the first cast with a big hopper under a grassy overhang. He would suggest a spot to cast, and the spot would produce. I know you will treasure Bob's stories, and you'll get to know him as I do: as a true sportsman, a fly angler of grace, knowledge and merit, and a genuine, gracious southern gentleman. The words, the language, the generosity of spirit in these pages: pure Robert Shanks. -Juni Fisher, Songwriter Red Geetar Records recording artist

Download or read book Surf Flood Fire and Mud written by Nathan Cool and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forecast Meteorologist Nathan Cool tells the story of how record-breaking ocean waves, weather and winds -- starting in 2015 from the strongest El Niño ever recorded -- carved a path of destruction, which persisted over the next few years. Once colossal waves crashed on the shores of Hawaii and the west coast of the U.S., floods soon followed, setting the stage for California's worst fire season and devastating mudslides. Far from being a one-off occurrence, a years-long ripple effect, sparked by the mega El Niño of 2015-16, had devastatingly fatal consequences. Once mammoth waves battered coastlines, intense storms bore down on Hawaii, California, Oregon, Texas, and the Caribbean, leading to a deadly cycle of multi-seasonal weather that wiped out homes, blocked roadways, burned livestock, and buried people alive. All the while, mistakes by officials overseeing the safety of their communities exacerbated the tragedies that unfolded. Recounting storms play-by-play from their origins to their final -- and often fatal -- destinations, Nathan tells the true stories of not just what happened from El Niño and its years-long aftermath, but also why so many were affected, often needlessly, from the results of Surf, Flood, Fire & Mud.

Each haunting tale simmers with the nation's troubled history, but among the abandoned houses, black magic, superstitions, lost loves and regrets, there is also friendship, compassion, and humor. Translated by the National Book Award-winning Megan McDowell, these “slim but phenomenal” (Vanity Fair) stories ask the biggest questions of life and show why Mariana Enriquez has become one of the most celebrated new voices in global literature.
Download or read book Every Life Is on Fire written by Jeremy England and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preeminent physicist unveils a field-defining theory of the origins and purpose of life. Why are we alive? Most things in the universe aren't. And everything that is alive traces back to things that, puzzlingly, weren't. For centuries, the scientific question of life's origins has confounded us. But in Every Life Is on Fire, physicist Jeremy England argues that the answer has been under our noses the whole time, deep within the laws of thermodynamics. England explains how, counterintuitively, the very same forces that tend to tear things apart assembled the first living systems. But how life began isn't just a scientific question. We ask it because we want to know what it really means to be alive. So England, an ordained rabbi, uses his theory to examine how, if at all, science helps us find purpose in a vast and mysterious universe. In the tradition of Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Every Life Is on Fire is a profound testament to how something can come from nothing.
