Title: The Planet You Inherit: Letters to My Grandchildren when Uncertainty's a Sure Thing

Author: Larry L. Rasmussen

Narrator: Kyle Tait

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 7 minutes

Release date: March 21, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from 'A Viable Way of Life' and 'Democracy' to 'Where We've Come From' and 'Who We Are Now,' Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.

Title: In This Together: Connecting with Your Community to Combat the Climate Crisis

Author: Marianne E. Krasny

Narrator: Marguerite Gavin

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 37 minutes

Release date: March 15, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of “network climate action'―the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change. Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change. With easy-to-follow dos and don’ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.

Title: Ring of Fire: High-Stakes Mining in a Lowlands Wilderness

Author: Virginia Heffernan

Narrator: Nikki Zakocs

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 30 minutes

Release date: March 14, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

A valuable discovery under the world's second-largest temperate wetland and in the traditional lands of the Cree and Ojibway casts light on the growing conflict among resource development, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous rights When prospectors discovered a gigantic crescent of metal deposits under the James Bay Lowlands of northern Canada in 2007, the find touched off a mining rush, lured a major American company to spend fortunes in the remote swamp, and forced politicians to confront their legal duty to consult Indigenous Peoples about development on their traditional territories. But the multibillion-dollar Ring of Fire was all but abandoned when stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on how to develop the cache despite years of negotiations and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending. Now plans for an all-weather road to connect the region to the highway network are reigniting the fireworks. In this colorful tale, Virginia Heffernan draws on her bush and newsroom experiences to illustrate the complexities of resource development at a time when Indigenous rights are becoming enshrined globally. The Ring of Fire presents an opportunity for Canada to leave behind centuries of plunder and set the global standard for responsible development of minerals critical to the green energy revolution.

Title: The Devil's Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance

Author: Dan Egan

Narrator: Jason Culp

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 50 minutes

Release date: March 7, 2023

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

The New York Times best-selling author on the source of great bounty—and now great peril—all over the world. Phosphorus has played a critical role in some of the most lethal substances on earth: firebombs, rat poison, nerve gas. But it’s also the key component of one of the most vital: fertilizer, which has sustained life for billions of people. In this major work of explanatory science and environmental journalism, Pulitzer Prize finalist Dan Egan investigates the past, present, and future of what has been called “the oil of our time.” The story of phosphorus spans the globe and vast tracts of human history. First discovered in a seventeenth-century alchemy lab in Hamburg, it soon became a highly sought-after resource. The race to mine phosphorus took people from the battlefields of Waterloo, which were looted for the bones of fallen soldiers, to the fabled guano islands off Peru, the Bone Valley of Florida, and the sand dunes of the Western Sahara. Over the past century, phosphorus has made farming vastly more productive, feeding the enormous increase in the human population. Yet, as Egan harrowingly reports, our overreliance on this vital crop nutrient is today causing toxic algae blooms and “dead zones” in waterways from the coasts of Florida to the Mississippi River basin to the Great Lakes and beyond. Egan also explores the alarming reality that diminishing access to phosphorus poses a threat to the food system worldwide—which risks rising conflict and even war. With The Devil’s Element, Egan has written an essential and eye-opening account that urges us to pay attention to one of the most perilous but little-known environmental issues of our time.

Length: 10 hours 53 minutes

Release date: February 23, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Waren Sie heute schon im Supermarkt? Haben Sie bio, regional und fair eingekauft? Nein? Aber Sie hatten es sicher vor! Und genau das ist das Problem, das viele Landwirte mit Ihnen haben: Ihre Wünsche als Bürger stimmen (oft) nicht mit Ihrem Verhalten als Konsument überein. Für den Bauern ist das eine Zwickmühle. Bauer Willi erzählt, warum er (fast) alle Wünsche erfüllen könnte, wenn es denn gekauft und auch bezahlt würde. Er erzählt von widersprüchlichen Umfragen, fragwürdigen Studien und der Neigung der Politik, nationale Sonderwege umzusetzen. Mit viel Herzblut wirbt für er einen ehrlicheren Umgang miteinander. Denn es steht viel auf dem Spiel - nicht nur für die Landwirte, sondern auch für die Versorgungssicherheit unseres Landes.

Title: Growth for Good: Reshaping Capitalism to Save Humanity from Climate Catastrophe

Author: Alessio Terzi

Narrator: Mitch Crawford

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 59 minutes

Release date: February 21, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Economic growth is wrecking the planet. It's the engine driving climate change, pollution, and the shrinking of natural spaces. To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy? Might this lead to a better society, helping us break free from an obsession with material wealth that only benefits the few? Alessio Terzi takes these questions as a starting point for a journey into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, and cultural origins of our need for growth. Terzi ranges across centuries and diverse civilizations to show that focus on economic expansion is interwoven with the human quest for happiness, wellbeing, and self-determination. Growth is underpinned by core principles and dynamics behind the West's rise to affluence. Today growth contributes to the stability of liberal democracy, the peaceful conduct of international relations, and the way our society is organized. Abandoning growth would not only prove impractical, but would also sow chaos, exacerbating conflict. This does not mean we have to choose between chaos and environmental destruction. Growth for Good presents a credible agenda to enroll capitalism in the fight against climate catastrophe. With the right policies and the help of engaged citizens, pioneering nations can set in motion a global decarbonization wave and create good jobs and a better world.
