Dos médicos en la misma ciudad pueden dar diagnósticos diferentes a pacientes idénticos; dos jueces pueden dictar sentencias distintas ante delitos similares; nosotros mismos podemos decidir una cosa u otra según sea por la mañana o por la tarde, o según se acerque o no la hora de comer. Estos son ejemplos de ruido: el sesgo que conlleva variabilidad en juicios que deberían ser iguales.

La sabiduría no se puede enseñar ni comprar. Cada cual debe, a imitación de la flora, fabricar su propio alimento espiritual. El proceso de elaboración de ese saber práctico bien podría llamarse «Filosíntesis». He ahí la manera de responder a la pregunta filosófica por excelencia: ¿cómo vivir de la mejor manera posible? Lo cierto es que tanto plantas como humanos crecemos buscando la luz.

What if meaning is not an illusion, but a missing dimension? Modern science describes the world with extraordinary precision, yet it struggles to account for one of the most influential forces shaping human behavior: meaning. Beliefs, intentions, symbols, and narratives guide perception, constrain action, and stabilize shared reality—yet they resist full explanation in terms of space, time, and energy alone.

Is your map of reality incomplete? What if the unexplained isn’t chaos, but a system waiting to be seen? You’ve felt it - the shiver of a premonition, the pull of a forgotten place, a coincidence too sharp to be random. For too long, we’ve dismissed these flickers at the edge of perception as imagination or folklore. But what if they’re something more?

Higher intake of ultra-processed foods has been associated with a laundry list of ailments. It makes sense that greater consumption would be associated with more dental cavities, thanks to their sugar, obesity, thanks to their concentration of calories, and an increased risk of high blood pressure, thanks to their salt, which is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular events, like heart attacks and strokes. And, since cardiovascular diseases are our leading killers, it also makes sense that excess intake of ultra-processed foods could lead to increased overall mortality.

Will the world embrace the vision of palm-powered electricity and mobility? The answer lies nestled within the groves that paint our landscape with hues of verdant hope, and more will be revealed as we turn the pages in this audiobook.

Drones are revolutionizing ocean conservation. By flying closer and seeing more, drones enhance intimate contact between ocean scientists and activists and marine life. In the process, new dependencies between nature, technology, and humans emerge, and a paradox becomes apparent: Can we have a wild ocean whose survival is reliant upon technology? In Oceaning, Adam Fish answers this question through eight stories of piloting drones to stop the killing of porpoises, sharks, and seabirds and to check the vitality of whales, seals, turtles, and coral reefs.

This book was written to help fill the gap with what is currently happening, why it is happening, and what needs to happen to get the planet's cycles back to a point of sustainability. There are many books on the topic of climate change and global warming, but many of them have been focused on the doom and gloom of what is happening and going to happen if changes aren't made; this book touches on that slightly, but its main goal is to provide a road map on how to recover in a pragmatic way, providing simple solutions and avoiding extreme suggestions.

This book is a collection of essays about living alongside animals and paying attention to what that closeness quietly changes. It is not a guide to grief, training, or healing, and it does not offer conclusions or lessons meant to travel neatly from one life to another. These pieces move through openness, guardedness, woundedness, steadiness, and imprint, tracing how different animals carry their histories in their bodies and how those histories shape the people who love them. Some arrived easy and stayed easy. Others required patience, structure, or vigilance.

In The Disease of Belief, physician Kevin Hoffarth takes listeners beyond prescriptions and test results into the deeper patterns shaping biology long before symptoms appear.

In the twentieth century, natural resource conservation emerged as a vital force in US politics, laying the groundwork for present-day sustainability. Merging environmental, agricultural, and political history, Joshua Nygren examines the political economy and ecology of agricultural conservation through the lens of the “conservation-industrial complex.” This evolving public-private network—which united the US Department of Agriculture, Congress, local and national organizations, and the agricultural industry—guided soil and water conservation in rural America for much of the century.
