Book Description
Can the fall of globalization told through true storytelling save humanity from its own extinction? The Sixth Extinction has begun and there is no Planet B. To prevent further damage to the earth's ecosystem, this book proposes a new 'Globalization Praxis' that focuses on nine planetary boundaries. This praxis is called 'true storytelling'. True storytelling is an ethical praxis, a methodology, and an antenarrative process of strategy.Storytelling in the Global Age provides a new approach while uncovering ten myths of globalization. Each myth explores three storytelling layers, which are: narrative-counternarrative, Indigenous Ways of Knowing (IWOK) living story, and antenarrative layers beneath. This book is useful for professionals and students within this field.

Book Description
Layering climate science, mythologies, nature writing, and personal experiences, this New York Times Notable Book presents a stunning reckoning with our current moment and with the literal and figurative end of time. Desert Notebooks examines how the unprecedented pace of destruction to our environment and an increasingly unstable geopolitical landscape have led us to the brink of a calamity greater than any humankind has confronted before. As inhabitants of the Anthropocene, what might some of our own histories tell us about how to confront apocalypse? And how might the geologies and ecologies of desert spaces inform how we see and act toward time—the pasts we have erased and paved over, this anxious present, the future we have no choice but to build? Ehrenreich draws on the stark grandeur of the desert to ask how we might reckon with the uncertainty that surrounds us and fight off the crises that have already begun. In the canyons and oases of the Mojave and in Las Vegas’s neon apocalypse, Ehrenreich finds beauty, and even hope, surging up in the most unlikely places, from the most barren rocks, and the apparent emptiness of the sky. Desert Notebooks is a vital and necessary chronicle of our past and our present—unflinching, urgent—yet timeless and profound.

Book Description
A runaway teen and his AI companion take on a corrupt billionaire. A teen with a secret identity... A blackmailing billionaire... A white house under siege Sixteen-year-old Moe lives for jazz. A talented musician, gifted mathematician, and crack coder, Moe divides his spare time between his jazz band, his cyber friends, and tinkering with his homegrown artificial intelligence (AI) application that he’s trained to compose its own music. When tragedy abroad strikes his family, Moe is orphaned and left to fend for himself. He abandons his Midwestern city for Washington, DC where he rooms with a former cyber friend and falsifies his ID to land a job working for the National Park Service in the vaunted President’s Park. There, he befriends a West Wing staffer who discovers that her boss is involved in a bribery scheme that reaches all the way to the Oval Office. Moe must decide if he should help her by using his fast-learning, jazz-composing AI companion in an unorthodox way to take on the powerful and sinister billionaire who has his sights set on Washington, DC. A look at how the long arm of foreign wars can tear a family apart... Moe grew up in a Syrian-American home. His immigrant roots make him no different than all other non-Native Americans whose families made their way to America seeking fresh opportunities. In Moe’s case, however, not only does he encounter an ugly wave of anti-Muslim rhetoric washing over his home country, but Moe’s family also suffers great tragedy from America’s never-ending foreign wars. Castle Keep explores the myriad ways war tears at the fabric of American life. See the White House from a rare perspective—its historic grounds... From the centuries-old Jackson magnolia that stood as a silent sentinel watching over the shoulders of presidents since before the Civil War to the iconic spruce that serves as the National Christmas Tree, Castle Keep tells the less-told tale of President’s Park and the celebrated grounds that surround the White House. This heart-wrenching adventure shows what happens when a determined teen comes face to face with a corrupt billionaire who will stop at nothing to get his way!
