I didn't expect this book to be life changing, but it was. It helped to open up my eyes about the simplicity of life and how easy it is to actually to live a purposeful happy life, just by following the DICE rule. The Dice chapter literally blew my mind. I gave it to my 13 year old daughter to read, as she was going through depression and she loves the book too. I have noticed some changes in her behavior and she even made her version of the Dice and every day she checks off what she has accomplished.

I recommend this book to anyone feeling a bit lost or battling depression. Every teenager should read it also. It does make a difference and motivates you to strive for your own best.

The best part, the book is very compact, under 150 pages with a large print, but with a lot of detailed knowledge. 5 stars from me.

Great easy read

SUch a true statement to order in life. Everything is mathematically! Great easy read!

Release date: 12-12-17

Publisher: Start Publishing Notes

Genres: Science & Technology, Environment

Publisher's Summary:

Please note: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Start Publishing Notes Summary, Analysis, and Review of Kathryn Miles Quakeland includes a summary of the book, a review, analysis and key takeaways, and a detailed "about the author" section.

Preview:

Kathryn Miles' Quakeland: On the Road to Americas Next Devastating Earthquake is a popular science book about earthquake science. It focuses on earthquake dangers in the United States and how to prepare for and reduce harm from quakes.

As of 2017, the United States has not had a major earthquake since 1989, and between 1967 and 2017 earthquakes killed only 150 people. However, earthquakes are a serious potential danger, in part because so little is known about them. Because earthquakes are unpredictable, seismologists are rarely able to set up equipment to study them in real time. Earthquakes are difficult to prepare for, since no one is sure when and where they will strike. The science of earthquake prediction remains very weak. Scientists do know that quakes are likely near faults - cracks in the earth that allow movement. But mapping faults is difficult, and there are undoubtedly many faults in the United States of which geologists are unaware.

Title: The Brown Agenda

Subtitle: My Mission to Clean Up the World's Most Life-Threatening Pollution

Author: Richard Fuller, Damon DiMarco

Narrator: Kane Power

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-10-17

Publisher: Richard Fuller

Genres: Science & Technology, Environment

Publisher's Summary:

Pollution is the single largest cause of death in the developing world. One in seven people in low- and middle-income countries die as a result of it. Simply put, pollution is now the world's most prevalent health risk.

And yet, while most everyone has heard about "going green"; few are aware of the more dire and sinister brown pollution - places where man-made toxic pollutants have taken root and spread. Brown sites poison millions of people every year, causing needless suffering and death.

After witnessing several brown sites firsthand and meeting families trapped by poverty in these toxic hot spots, environmentalist Richard Fuller founded the Blacksmith Institute, now renamed Pure Earth, a global nonprofit that initiates large-scale cleanups of some of the most polluted places on earth.

The Brown Agenda details Fuller's inspirational journey - from his dangerous yet ultimately successful fight to save hundreds of thousands of acres in the Amazon rain forest to his creation of Pure Earth.

In this vivid account of his perilous travels to the earth's most toxic locations, Fuller introduces listeners to the plight of the "poisoned poor" and suggests specific ways people everywhere can help combat pollution all over the world.

The Brown Agenda is truly compelling and encourages those to give help to the world where it is needed most. Richard's story is entertaining, eye-opening, and inspiring- to say the least. His problem solving methods proved extremely effective, while wasting no time. Tips for the aspiring environmentalist are clearly defined, while the book makes complex processes regarding pollution very understandable. His story proves that anything can be accomplished when you act upon your passion. A must-read for any human being.

Global Env Health matters.. read this.

Let me preface this review by saying I'm familiar with Blacksmith and Rich Fuller's work even before I bought this book. I thought I knew this guy but the book revealed a fascinating side to him. Needless to say, he's on a mission and this book clearly lays out the reasons why. A good fast read and especially recommended for those interested in global environmental health issues with up to date stories and case studies. (Professor JC)

Informative and Inspiring!

This is a GREAT book and Richard Fuller is a great man. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel inspired and empowered to take on difficult challenges. Richard shows us howâ

The book is extremely well-written -- it reveals the alarming condition of the world while uplifting the reader by showing the huge impact each of us can have. Read it and be inspired!!

Pollution - the Biggest Killer Today

The book is a passionate and powerful account of a major - and under-recognized - environmental and public health problem. It both lays out the issue and suggests practical solutions. I hope it reaches a wide audience. (Full disclosure: the author is a dear friend).

Important work explained in an compelling story

This common sense approach to solving the problems of pollution is important for everyone to read. This is a great example of a pragmatic and systematic approach to improving the world.

Title: The Secret Life of the Owl

Author: John Lewis-Stempel

Narrator: Roy McMillan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-19-17

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Genres: Science & Technology, Environment

Publisher's Summary:

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Secret Life of the Owl by John Lewis-Stempel, read by Roy McMillan.

'Dusk is filling the valley. It is the time of the gloaming, the owl-light. Out in the wood, the resident tawny has started calling, hoo-hoo-hoo-h-o-o-o.'

There is something about owls. They feature in every major culture from the Stone Age onwards. They are creatures of the night, and thus of magic. They are the birds of ill tidings, the avian messengers from the Other Side. But owls - with the sapient flatness of their faces, their big, round eyes, their paternal expressions - are also reassuringly familiar. We see them as wise, like Athena's owl, and loyal, like Harry Potter's Hedwig. Human-like, in other words.

No other species has so captivated us.

In The Secret Life of the Owl, John Lewis-Stempel explores the legends and history of the owl. And in vivid, lyrical prose, he celebrates all the realities of this magnificent creature, whose natural powers are as fantastic as any myth.

Critic Reviews:

"John Lewis-Stempel is one of the best nature writers of his generation." Country Life)

Members Reviews:

Love it

Enjoyed. All too brief must put it on a loop. Thanks for the good reading and excellent narrative.

A enjoyable listen

A love letter to the owl, full of facts regarding each type of owl as well as folklore and legend, Poems and owls in fiction are also explored.

The narrator has a nice voice and easy reading style.

The book is somewhat short but well worth a listen.

Titolo: La vita della natura: Introduzione al pensiero di Ilya Prigogine

Autore: Simone Bedetti

Narratore: Simone Bedetti

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 26 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 10-09-17

Editore: Area51 Publishing

Categoria: Science & Technology, Environment

Riepilogo Editore:

In questo audiolibro esclusivo Simone Bedetti ti introduce al pensiero di un grande scienziato e filosofo della natura, il premio Nobel per la chimica Ilya Prigogine.

Prigogine, tra gli iniziatori della scienza della complessità, noto per le sue teorie sulle strutture dissipative, i sistemi complessi e l'irreversibilità, ha proposto una nuova e radicale visione del mondo riformulando il secondo principio della termodinamica: ogni processo naturale è irreversibile e tende ad aumentare la sua entropia (e quella dell'ambiente in cui si trova). Tuttavia in natura esistono organismi viventi in grado di auto-organizzarsi diminuendo la propria entropia a discapito dell'ambiente, vincolati a un maggior o minor disordine entropico.

A partire da queste considerazioni, una nuova immagine della natura emerge dalla sua ricerca scientifica: non più quella di una macchina destinata a ripetere meccanicamente leggi prefissate, ma quella di un racconto creativo e imprevedibile aperto a ogni fluttuazione, un racconto che si inventa in ogni istante in completa libertà.

Sensuous visit to Oregon's high desert

A poetic history of geography, environment, culture ~describing the author's personal love of Place, Lake County, Oregon .I immediately wanted to re-read this book. Beautiful writing.

Smell the sagebrush

Took me back home. Been there, done that, saw most of it. Just as advertised, and still in the shrink wrap. Great job. Thanks.

Great local color.

I loved this book! The author was raised about a hundred miles from where I live. It gave me some ideas on where to go to photograph petroglyphs. I was very familiar with most of the places he talked about and knew of some of the events he mentioned.

He also had some ideas on the interpretation of petroglyphs which led me to purchase another book, "The Rocks Begin to Speak" by LaVan Martineau. This also, was a very good book.

If you are from Eastern Oregon you would enjoy this book.

Title: Chesapeake Gold

Subtitle: Man and Oyster on the Bay

Author: Susan Brait

Narrator: MacKenzie Nikol Greenwood

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-24-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Environment

Publisher's Summary:

The figure of an old man poling a skiff toward shore against the evening light engaged Susan Brait to learn about Chesapeake Bay, and it is that image which opens this her book on the oystermen of the Bay and the sapping of their traditional life, and even the bounty of the Bay itself, by the demands of American society.

With directness and poetic economy Brait takes the listener into the life of the Bay and into the complex relationships that affect oysters and those who make their living from them. Her account weaves easily from the daily work of oystermen to the natural forces that have shaped the Bay, from the experimental culture of oysters by marine biologists to the plans of businessmen who expect to grow and harvest the mollusks on privately owned reefs, from efforts to legislate control of the Bay and its resources to the upper reaches of the Susquehanna River where increasing pollution of the Bay originates from agricultural practices of the Amish and other farmers. These and other disparate elements are gracefully woven into a seamless web that represents the complex wholeness of the Bay itself.

Chesapeake Gold is a sensitive portrayal of people and their place, but it is also more. The oystermen and their efforts to maintain their traditional life become a figure for our society's struggle to find an ethic that will serve both man and the natural world that man is apart from and a part of.
