Local is our future : steps to an economics of happiness / by Norberg-Hodge, Helena,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Globalization has no future. Political stability is a thing of the past; climate chaos is intensifying; anxiety disorders are of epidemic proportions; extremism and fundamentalism are becoming the norm. And yet we cling to the wreckage. Politicians of every hue continue to be in thrall to the global market. To challenge 'free trade,' which is the very essence of globalization, is all but unthinkable. But challenge it we must. And replace it. The future will be local. And the good news is that it is already happening. Under the radar of the mainstream media, a worldwide localization movement is emerging. On every continent, people are coming together to claw back control over their own economies, and in doing so are rebuilding connections to one another, while repairing fractured communities and damaged environments."--Back cover.

If you tell : a true story of murder, family secrets, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood / by Olsen, Gregg,author.;
After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle's talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now. For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined. Even as others were drawn into their mother's dark and perverse web, the sisters found the strength and courage to escape an escalating nightmare that culminated in multiple murders. Harrowing and heartrending, If You Tell is a survivor's story of absolute evil--and the freedom and justice that Nikki, Sami, and Tori risked their lives to fight for. Sisters forever, victims no more, they found a light in the darkness that made them the resilient women they are today--loving, loved, and moving on.

Cedric WilliamsOriginally produced by Vooks in 2021.We all know cleaning up dino poo in the backyard is no fun—and dino diapers are way too stinky to be an option. So, how do you potty train a dinosaur? First, you need to find a toilet that’s their size. Then, you have to teach them to know when it’s time to go. You might even have to set them on the potty every so often until they learn.Wiping, flushing, and washing their claws are all a part of the process. Sometimes, a dinosaur won’t want to take a break from playing to use the toilet. Sometimes, there’ll be accidents. But with a little help and encouragement, they’ll get the hang of it eventually. Right?HOW TO POTTY TRAIN A DINOSAUR is a simple overview of—and playful take on—the basics of potty training. By putting the focus on a dinosaur instead of the reader, the story places children on the same side as the adults, making the discussion more approachable. Written and illustrated by Alycia Pace. Published by Familius.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
