The heartbeat of trees : embracing our ancient bond with forests and nature / by Wohlleben, Peter,1964-author.; Billinghurst, Jane,1958-translator.; translation of:Wohlleben, Peter,1964-Geheime Band zwischen Mensch und Natur.English.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In an era of cell phone addiction and ever-expanding cities, many of us fear we've lost our connection to nature--but Peter Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties linking humans to the forest remain alive and intact. Whether we observe it or not, our blood pressure stabilizes near trees, the color green calms us, and the forest sharpens our senses. Drawing on new scientific discoveries, The Heartbeat of Trees reveals the profound interactions humans can have with nature, exploring the language of the forest, the consciousness of plants, and the eroding boundary between flora and fauna. Wohlleben shares how to see, feel, smell, hear, and even taste your journey into the woods. Above all, he reveals a wondrous cosmos where humans are a part of nature, and where conservation is not just about saving trees--it's about saving ourselves, too."--

The geek way : the radical mindset that drives extraordinary results / by McAfee, Andrew,author.; Hoffman, Reid,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."We're living in a time of amazing technological innovation, but we're not paying enough attention to one of the most important innovations of all-one that's going to be a wellspring of progress for a long time to come. This innovation lies with the company itself-the collection of people and assets brought together to create goods and services and bring them to market. And, as Andrew McAfee persuasively argues, this new model is pioneered by geeks who are instituting a radical new mindset, shifting the paradigm of what a business can-and should-be"--

Accidentally Amy / by Painter, Lynn,author.;
"A stolen latte results in a meet-cute for the ages in this originally self-published, brand-new edition of New York Times bestselling author Lynn Painter's rom-com Accidentally Amy, with bonus content. Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she's running late for her first day at her dream job and the barista yells for "Amy" three times with no answer, she does the unthinkable. Izzy takes that PSL. It's the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only way further ahead in the queue-and she'll take whatever bad karma is coming for her; she's desperate and very late. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she's ever seen, spilling the drink all over his made-for-GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Karma who? Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising, until he says to her: "See you tomorrow, Amy." Izzy reasons she can just straighten things out the next day, no biggie. Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips-the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might've been charming to "Amy," but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who does not find her explanation funny at all. But day by day, an attraction simmers between them and they'll have to find a way to work together without ripping each other's heads-or clothes-off"--

Includes bibliographical references and index."This special 25th anniversary edition of a beloved bestseller invites readers to see ourselves as part of nature, not separate. The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance shows us how. In this extensively updated new edition, David Suzuki reflects on the increasingly radical changes in science and nature-from the climate crisis to peak oil and the rise in clean energy-and examines what they mean for humankind. He also reflects on what we have learned by listening to Indigenous leaders, whose knowledge of the natural world is profound, and whose peoples are on the frontlines of protecting land and water around the world. Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their beliefs into action, The Sacred Balance combines science, philosophy, spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to offer concrete suggestions for creating an ecologically sustainable future by rediscovering and addressing humanity's basic needs. Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute."--
