Book Description
Like the bestselling Waldorf Kindergarten Snack Book and the Waldorf School Book of Soups, this cookbook in the series provides yet another a rich resource for spending time in the kitchen with young children--this time baking bread. What child doesn't like to feel and knead bread dough, watch it rise, and then taste it fresh from the oven? Not only is such hands-on sensory experience fun for everyone, it is also invaluable to young children as they continue to incarnate into our world. These recipes have been handed down by grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and friends. They are easy to follow and encourage the baker, young and older alike, to use the best possible ingredients, making bread once again the healthy "staff of life" it once was. The Waldorf Book of Breads includes tasty breads for the daily table and specialty breads for the seasons and special occasions. And, like the Waldorf snack book and the book of soups, The Waldorf Book of Breads is spiral-bound, so it lies flat to make life in the kitchen a little easier. Artist Jo Valens provides delightful illustrations to accompany the many recipes for delicious breads.

While stranded on the Great Trek to find the divine black pearl, Bakari, a Marinda warrior, dreams of predicting the monsoon. Summoning Cagin, the Sorcerer, he is granted his wish, but it must be repaid. Gaia, the Earth Mother, discovers his secret and empowers him as a Spirit God who commands the seasons. When Gaia births her Gem daughters, Diamond, Ruby and Sapphire, Bakari swears to protect them from the Underworld, as foretold by the Prophecy of the ancient Sidhe. He knows the crystal formation of Gem is the only weapon that can challenge Hades and his quest for the Earth. The Prophecy of the Sidhe, which foretells the Underworld's contest for Earth and the threat to the powers of Gem, sets Gaia the Earth mother to rally her protectors with the African tribes, and clear the divide of gods and men. Like their ancestors before them, Bakari and his brothers must band together as warriors, for honor, for tribe, and for Gem.

Book Description
A riveting exploration of one of the most important dilemmas of our time: will digital technology accelerate environmental degradation, or could it play a role in ecological regeneration? At the uncanny edge of the scientific frontier, Gaia’s Web explores the promise and pitfalls the Digital Age holds for the future of our planet. Instead of the Internet of Things, environmental scientist and tech entrepreneur Karen Bakker asks, why not consider the Internet of Living Things? At the surprising and inspiring confluence of our digital and ecological futures, Bakker explores how the tools of the Digital Age could be mobilized to address our most pressing environmental challenges, from climate change to biodiversity loss. Interspersed with ten elegiac, enigmatic parables, each of which is based on an existing technology, Gaia’s Web evokes the conundrums we face as the World Wide Web intertwines with the Web of Life. A new generation of innovators is deploying digital technology to come to the aid of the planet, using spy satellites to track down environmental criminals, inviting animals to the Metaverse, and biohacking Frankenstein-like biobots as environmental sentinels. But will they end up doing more harm than good? In an engaging take on conservation technology, Bakker looks at the digital tech applications to environmental issues from predatory harvesting of environmental data to human bycatch and eco-surveillance capitalism. If we address these issues and mobilize digitally mediated forms of citizen science, she argues, digital tech could help reverse environmental harms and advance environmental sustainability. And in the process, Big Tech might be transformed for the better. With its uniquely broad scope—combining insights from computer science, ecology, engineering, environmental science, and environmental law—Gaia’s Web introduces profoundly novel ways of addressing our most pressing environmental challenges—mitigating climate change, protecting endangered species—and creating new possibilities for ecological justice by empowering nonhumans to participate in environmental regulation.

As Ava and Lucas flee across the globe, they are tested by violence, betrayal, and a mysterious curse of fire. Just as Ava needs her powers most, she is losing control—struggling to accept her new identity as the Alpha Gaia. Within her lies the power of the howling wind, the raging water, the boiling lava, and the quaking earth. It’s a power that frightens her—and it’s growing. With Mother Earth herself stoking the flames of Ava’s fury at the destruction of her world and the killing of her people, will Ava be able to channel her power for good, or will she be consumed by the fire of her rage?

Instead of choosing the good guy, I chose the bad guy. Instead of warding off the enemy, I moved in with him. And I thought the purpose of fear was to prevent you from doing stupid things.
