Beyond the Horizon
From the ancient Polynesian voyagers who first rode ocean swells on wooden boards to the modern-day chargers who risk their lives on 80-foot monsters, big-wave surfing has always lived at the intersection of courage, culture, and the raw power of nature. Beyond the Horizon is the definitive chronicle of that journey, blending meticulously researched history with vivid, first-hand narratives from the world's most dangerous breaks.Across thirty chapters, readers are taken from Hawaiʻi's sacred Waimea Bay to Portugal's record-shattering Nazar矇, from the frigid reefs of Ireland to the remote, wind-swept pinnacle of Cortes Bank. Along the way, the book explores the evolution of surfboards, the rise of women in the lineup, the science of swells, the role of indigenous knowledge, and the environmental threats facing these rare, wave-forging coastlines.With its sweeping scope and attention to the surfers, scientists, rescuers, and activists who define the sport, Beyond the Horizon is both an epic adventure and a call to protect the ocean environments that make big-wave culture possible. It's not just a history-it's an invitation to stand on the edge and look into the deep blue unknown.
Common Ground
In Common Ground, veteran organizer Eileen Flanagan weaves together a series of stories of hard won successes in the climate change movement, including against a multinational bank in one case, and a heavily polluting fossil fuel company in another, based on grassroots organizing. As heat waves, wildfires, storms, and floods become ever more deadly, the book describes a groundswell of action in which citizens of all ages, races and political stripes struggle to understand each other and the enormous challenges we face fighting companies and governments wilfully blind to the climate change dangers we face as a society. A Quaker activist, facilitator, and teacher, Flanagan takes us on a personal journey through her environmental direct-action experiences as well as her relationships with community leaders to understand how we can form coalitions to actually make a difference. Flanagan shows that "the illusion of separation"--the fallacy that humans can thrive in a dying world--is at the root of interlocking environmental crises and that it's often politicians and corporations who benefit by keeping the rest of us divided across lines of race, class, religion, and generation. In Common Ground, Flanagan argues that more than technology or even elections, acting in solidarity with all life is humanity's best hope for survival. Includes a foreword by internationally acclaimed South African activist Kumi Naidoo, President of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative and former head of Greenpeace International and Amnesty International.

The Great Experiment in Conservation
The Adirondack region of New York State is, in many respects, America's cauldron of conservation. It was there, more than a century ago, that wanton exploitation of forests first aroused concern about human impact on the environment. It was there that Americans first began to set aside lands proclaimed as "forever wild." The establishment of the Adirondack Park created an immense landscape of 6 million acres composed of a mixture of public and private lands in nearly equal proportion. This unprecedented blend of human communities within wild lands makes the Adirondack Park perhaps one of the greatest case studies in conservation and development in U.S. history. Representing a remarkable achievement in environmental scholarship and drawn from decades of research, The Great Experiment in Conservation captures the wisdom born of the last thirty years of the park's evolution. The editors bring together leading scholars, activists, and practitioners--those who know the Park's origin and the realities of living in a protected area--to narrate this history. Organized into three sections, contributors explore the ecological, cultural, and economic aspects of the region, drawing lessons from successes and failures as they struggle to find the right balance of private interests and public controls. With keen insight and deep passion, the authors reveal the Adirondack Park's rich natural and cultural history in shaping conservation policy, providing vital contributions to the future study of land preservation. Contributors include: Herman Daly, Bill McKibben, Barbara McMartin, Philip G. Terrie, Amy Vedder, and Bill Weber.

The New Global Possible
Global environmental leader Ani Dasgupta takes an honest look at lagging climate action and maps out what can be done to rebuild hope for the future. In 2015, world leaders came together in Paris and signed an agreement to save the planet. Ten years later, we have made little progress on the ground, and the climate crisis is worse than ever. We've mostly figured out what we need to do, but not how to get it done--and time is running out. In this groundbreaking new book, World Resources Institute President and CEO Ani Dasgupta explores how to orchestrate change at speed and scale. How do we get countries to keep working together on climate action when multilateralism is declining? How do we harness technological innovation to protect nature, rather than destroy it? How do we dismantle entrenched power structures and rapidly transition to a clean, resilient economy? Based on conversations with more than one hundred leaders around the world, Dasgupta weaves together stories of unusual partnerships, collaborative leadership, and lessons learned from failure. Mining the rich history of the climate movement, The New Global Possible defines the narrow path to a hopeful future--one requiring all of our collective focus and determination--and offers a radical new practice for orchestrating change for good.

Lake Erie's Long Point and the Company that saved it
Long Point, a wilderness in the Canadian waters of Lake Erie, attracts thousands of migrating waterfowl. In the 1800s it was becoming a home for nefarious activities including illegal logging and hunting, drunkenness and prostitution. Seeking to bring the lawlessness under control, the pre-confederation British Government parcelled off the land for auction in 1866 and a group of wealthy businessmen seeking a private duck hunting preserve established the Long Point Company. With the arrival of the Gilded Age in the 1870s, American millionaires came to dominate the membership. The area is designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. www.unesco.org/en/mab/long-pointPutting his curiosity and research skills to use, Stephen Selk has documented the symbiotic relationship that has proven beneficial to both Long Point and the shareholders.
