Don't Shoot the Dog: The Art of Teaching and Training. Karen Pryor Published by Simon & Schuster 2019 Reprint

Do you want more creativity from your students, employees, or maybe yourself? Are you trying to save the planet? Or, maybe just follow through on your New Year's resolution this time and forevermore? This is the book for you!

I was introduced to this book as a young dolphin trainer by my supervisor Robyn at the Gulfarium in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. It forever "shaped" my behavior and made me a better swim teacher, business manager, and dolphin show presenter too.

This book follows the science of BF Skinner applied to practical everyday applications - in real life. I have been referring this book to my professors, friends, and associates for 30 years. It's still a relevant classic that I re-visit too.

If you want to make positive, real changes that actually help you to succeed in your personal and professional relationships, listen to this podcast. 

This is my best kept secret to share with you,
Cheers,  Tricia

Swamplands by Edward Struzik published by Island Press in 2021

Peat is partially decomposed plant material that builds up over centuries in swampy, waterlogged conditions. Representing just three percent of the earth's landscape, peatland can store four times more carbon than th eAmazon rainforest and twice as much as all of the world's forests.
In this book Edward, discusses the major peat bogs in the world in places that may surprise you. Bogs and swamplands were prominent in North America before the early European settlers decided to drain them out of fear and economies.  Steeped in mythology and misunderstanding, we have unwittingly built in areas that may always flood. With better understanding of these landscapes, Edward hopes we can learn to live with nature and respect these important ecosystems.

Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America by Beth Hoffman published by Island Press 2021

This book is a compelling, deeply personal narrative that delivers a unique view into the realities of the American Farm. Beth covered agriculture and farming as a journalist; however, the reality of being a new farmer with her husband was an eye opener. The first challenge was to negotiate with her father-in-law, who is reluctant to hand over control of the land. They have to find somewhere to slaughter the grass-finished beef and weather the losses of a failed oat crop. Through her personal struggles, she reveals the larger story of American agriculture and explores how a more economically and environmentally sustainable system may become possible.

Schools That Heal: Design with Mental Health in Mind by Claire Latane Published by Island Press in 2021

In Schools That Heal: Design with Mental Health in Mind,  landscape architecture professor Claire Latane argues that for schools to be supportive learning environments, they must be designed with students mental and physical health in mind. Backed by decades of research, Latane shows how schools that nurture a sense of belonging, providing nature-full spaces, and inspire awe improve students' academic performance and reduce stress, anxiety, disorderly conduct, and crime.

Latane highlights ten inspiring examples of schools around the world designed with mental health in mind. In Japan, a community decimated by a tsunami incorporated a wetland into the school landscape to reconnect students with nature. At Sandy Hook Elementary, an inclusive design process helped create a new school that would be a place of healing and learning.  The book also addresses how schools can support students and teachers post-COVID with building elements like large windows for natural ventilation and outdoor learning spaces.
