Wild life : finding my purpose in an untamed world / by Wynn-Grant, Rae,author.;
"Growing up in the diverse and bustling California Bay Area, renowned wildlife ecologist Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant always felt worlds away from the white male adventurers she watched explore the wilderness on TV. She dreamed of a future where she could spend sleepless nights under the crowded canopies of the Amazon and the starry skies of the savanna. But as Rae set off on her own expeditions in the wild, she saw nature's delicate balance in a new light. Wild Life follows Rae on her adventures and explorations in some of the world's most remote locales. Hers is a story about a nearly twenty-year career in the wild -- carving a niche as one of very few Black female scientists -- and the challenges she had to overcome, expectations she had to leave behind, and the many lessons she learned along the way. An incredible journey spanning the Great Plains of North America to the rainforests of Madagascar, Wild Life sheds light on our pivotal relationship and responsibility to the natural world and the relatives -- both human and otherwise -- that we share it with."--

The war below : lithium, copper, and the global battle to power our lives / by Scheyder, Ernest,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Tough choices loom if the world wants to go green. The United States and other countries must decide where and how to procure the materials that make our renewable energy economy possible. To build electric vehicles, solar panels, cell phones, and millions of other devices means the world must dig more mines to extract lithium, copper, cobalt, rare earths, and nickel. But mines are deeply unpopular, even as they have a role to play in fighting climate change. These tensions have sparked a worldwide reckoning over the sourcing of these critical minerals, and no one understands the complexities of these issues better than Ernest Scheyder, whose exclusive access has allowed him to report from the front lines on the key players in this global battle to power our future.

The last stand [videorecording] / by Coyote, Peter,narrator.; Davis, Wade,on-screen participant.; Puttkamer, Peter von,screenwriter,film director.; Salazar, Leila,on-screen participant.; Buffalo 8 Productions,publisher.;
Narrated by Peter Coyote ; Wade Davis, Leila Salazar.THE LAST STAND for Trees is about saving the world's last remaining ancient forests. Using the flash-point of British Columbia's "Battle for the Trees" at FAIRY CREEK- the documentary examines the importance of keeping intact forest ecosystems: here in North America, the Amazon and around the world. Experts like Wade Davis and Leila Salazar-Lopez speak about the impact trees/plants have on our atmosphere, including Carbon sequestration and providing Oxygen for us to breathe. Incorporating unique-access footage at the front-lines of Fairy Creek protests, to block Logging of the last 3% of BC's old growth, the film does not pull punches. We hear the impassioned words of front-line forest defenders, as well as global forestry experts. The film reveals the complexity of issues facing the world: the need to protect habitat, while balancing economies and jobs, while also recognizing the rights of First Nations' people controlling resources in their territories. Finally, The Last Stand for Trees looks at solutions ... both from cutting edge Silicon Valley companies building carbon-retaining technology, to things average citizens can do, to help save jungles/forests and the Planet.E.DVD ; wide screen presentation ; Dolby Digital.
