How did we come to think of ourselves as survivors in a world where species can vanish forever, or as capable of pushing our planet to the verge of a sixth mass extinction? Extinction, Sadiah Qureshi shows us, is a surprisingly modern concept - and a phenomenon that's not as natural as we might think. In Europe until the late eighteenth century, species were considered perfect and unchanging creations of God. Then in the age of revolutions, scientists gathered enough fossil evidence to determine that mammoth bones, for example, were not just large elephants but a lost species that once roamed the Earth alongside ancient humans. Extinction went from being regarded as theologically dangerous to pervasive, and even inevitable. Yet Vanished shows us that extinction is more than a scientific idea; it's a political choice that has led to devasting consequences. Europeans and Americans quickly used the notion that extinction was a natural process to justify persecution and genocide, predicting that nations from Newfoundland's Beothuk to Aboriginal Australians were doomed to die out from imperial expansion. Exploring the tangled and unnatural histories of extinction and empire, Vanished weaves together pioneering original research and breath-taking storytelling to show us extinction is both an evolutionary process and a human act: one which illuminates our past, and may alter our future.]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C754662</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C754662</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Qureshi, Sadiah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/754662012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Unnatural History of Extinction</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780241352106/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom Is the Goal]]></title><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C758068</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C758068</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dispenza, Joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/758068012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Essential Steps Toward Building Wealth</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798296511317/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us]]></title><description><![CDATA["Most people think billionaires are too rich and powerful, but they assume there's no way to change that. Wrong. As the ultra-wealthy siphon off an ever-larger share of the world's wealth, they now dominate us to a degree unimaginable even a decade ago. With their voracious consumption, unbridled resource exploitation, and relentless obstruction of climate action, they are rapidly undermining democracy and destroying the very viability of the earth for human life. Their staggering power and hoarding of wealth have prompted a number of G20 nations to consider imposing a wealth tax, aimed exclusively at the super-rich. In Canada, such a tax would apply only to those with wealth above $25 million. Yet it could collect $40 billion a year -- funding public programs that could immensely improve the lives of millions of Canadians while clipping the wings of the super-rich. Billionaires would threaten to depart. But as they left the country that had nourished them and enabled them to grow so wildly rich, they'd face a hefty “exit tax” on the way out.

Financial empowerment goes beyond understanding banking concepts -- mindset really does matter. In Save Yourself, financial advisor and author Keehn explores the psychological and emotional barriers that often stand in the way of financial stability and long-term wealth. Blending applied neuroscience with practical strategies, this book provides a fresh approach to mastering personal finance -- not one-size-fits-all advice. Unlike traditional finance books that focus solely on budgeting or investing, Save Yourself recognizes that the old advice doesn't work anymore. Housing prices are out of reach. Jobs don't come with pensions. Layoffs and side hustles are the new normal. And yet, most financial advice still clings to outdated rules made for a world that no longer exists. Instead, Keehn delves into the why behind financial behaviours -- helping to rewire the mindset for success. For readers who are looking to overcome financial setbacks, safeguard their family's future, or broach sensitive conversations around inheritance, this book offers the strategies and confidence to create a solid financial foundation. Whether you're a Millennial trying to build wealth without owning property, a Gen Xer sandwiched between kids and aging parents or someone who's simply ready to take control -- Keehn provides the message that it's not too late to navigate these challenges, debunk harmful money myths and build lasting security in an unpredictable world"--]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755215</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755215</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Keehn, Kelley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/755215012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A New Approach to Thinking About Money and Taking Control of your Financial Future</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771624756/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Echoes From Eden]]></title><description><![CDATA[Memoir by entrepreneur and environmentalist Dax Dasilva recounting his journeys to threatened natural environments around the globe.

Still, millions of people are stuck in in mind-numbing, pointless, or just plain harmful jobs. There's an antidote to this waste of talent, and it's called moral ambition. Moral ambition is the will to be among the best, but with different measures of success. Not a fancy title, fat salary, or corner office, but a career dedicated to the best solutions to the world's biggest problems--whether that means tackling climate change, making pandemics history or fighting Big Tobacco. In "Moral ambition", author Rutger Bregman reveals how our conventional definitions of success are harming us and the planet, and shows how we can shift the focus from personal gain to societal benefit. In the process, he explains, we will join a growing movement of pioneers who are already living out this ethos. They're the builders, the problem-solvers, the doers who have chosen a path less traveled. A guidebook to finding that path for ourselves, Moral Ambition reminds us that the real measure of success lies not in what we accumulate, but in what we contribute, and shows how we, too, can build a legacy that truly matters.]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756840</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756840</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bregman, Rutger]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/756840012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How to Stop Wasting your Talent and Start Making A Difference</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316580359/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wall Street's War on Workers]]></title><description><![CDATA["Layoffs upend people's lives, cause enormous stress, and lead to debilitating personal debt. The societal harm caused by mass layoffs has been known for decades. Yet, we do little to stop them. Why? Why do we allow whole communities to be destroyed by corporate decision-makers? Why do we consider mass layoffs a natural, baked-in feature of modern financialized capitalism? In Wall Street's War on Workers, Les Leopold, co-founder of the Labor Institute, provides a clear lens with which we can see how healthy corporations in the United States have used mass layoffs and stock buybacks to enrich shareholders at the expense of employees. With detailed research and concise language, Leopold explains why mass layoffs occur and how our current laws and regulations allow companies to turn these layoffs into short-term financial gains. Original and insightful, Wall Street's War on Workers places US labor practices in the broader context of our social and political life, examining the impact financial strip-mining and legalized looting are having on party politics, destroying the integrity of democratic institutions. Leopold expertly lays out how the proliferation of opioids coupled with Wall Street's destruction of jobs in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin have led to widespread mass layoff fatalism. Democrats have unarguably lost the longstanding support of millions of urban and rural workers, and Leopold points out how party leaders have been wrong about the assumption that the white working class is becoming less progressive and motivated to abandon the Democratic Party by reactionary positions on divisive social issues. With deep analyses, stark examples, and surprisingly simple proactive steps forward, Leopold also asserts that: -Surviving and thriving in a competitive global economy does not require mass layoffs. -A new virulent, financialized version of American capitalism is policy driven. -To end mass layoffs, Wall Street's domination of our economy must end. -The accepted "wisdom" about white working-class populism is wrong. -Ending stock buybacks and changing corporate officers' pay structures could eliminate mass layoffs. -Mass layoffs are not the result of inevitable economic "laws" or new technologies like artificial intelligence. Both groundbreaking and urgent, Wall Street's War on Workers not only offers solutions that could halt mass layoffs but also offers new hope for workers everywhere"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C758021</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C758021</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leopold, Les]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/758021012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Mass Layoffs and Greed Are Destroying the Working Class and What to Do About It</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781645022336/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ship Moms]]></title><description><![CDATA["The lives of cruise ship crew members don't stop when they are below deck.

Sven Beckert, founder of Harvard's Program on the Study of Capitalism, has made a profound impact on his field, including his Bancroft-Prize-winning history, Empire of Cotton. That was merely base camp for the epic achievement of his new book. Capitalism, Beckert argues, was born global. Emerging from interconnected nodes in Asia, Africa, and Europe and at first dominated by Arab traders, capitalism rooted itself gradually, persisting for centuries as a vital but limited circulatory system that left most of the world's economic life untouched. But then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that propelled them across the oceans. This, Beckert shows, was modern capitalism's big bang, and its epicenter was the Caribbean. Europeans violently transformed tropical islands into slave labor camps, built with unparalleled efficiency and brutality to produce the world's most valuable commodities. This system, with its hierarchies that haunt us still, provided the lift-off for the even more radical transformations of the Industrial Revolution. Empowered by vast productivity increases, capitalism pulled down old ways of life and expanded its orbit ever further. Gorging on coal and then oil, it erased earlier traditions and crowned itself the defining force of the modern world. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealized dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics, never more than when the system reached its worst crack-up ever in the two world wars and the Great Depression. In the aftermath, anti-colonial rebellions stripped capitalism of its European flavor to create the multipolar world we live in today. Drawing on archives on five continents, Capitalism decenters the European perspective, locating important modes of agency, resistance, innovation, and ruthless coercion everywhere in the world, including India, Japan, Africa, and the Americas, through to the present with China's rise. Beckert opens the aperture from heads of state to rural cultivators to show that constant struggle is at the core of the capitalist revolution. Despite its dependence on expansion, there always have been, and are still, areas of human life it has yet to reach. By peeling back the layers of capitalism's global history, Beckert exposes the truth of the system that to us now seems simply "natural." It is said that people can more easily imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. If there is one ultimate lesson in this extraordinary book, it's how to leave that behind. Capitalism is nothing if not a human invention, and so is the ideology that cloaks itself in a false, timeless universality. Sven Beckert doesn't merely tote up capitalism's debits and credits. He shows us how to look through and beyond our reigning metaphor to imagine a larger world"--]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756781</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756781</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beckert, Sven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/756781012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Global History</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735220836/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roots of Prosperity]]></title><description><![CDATA["Roots of Prosperity: Building Legacies Beyond Wealth is a comprehensive guide that explores the intricate process of intergenerational wealth transfer, emphasizing not only the financial aspects but the emotional, psychological, and cultural dimensions that impact families.

"Mega Pipelines, Mega Resistance" explores how these social movements challenged powerful corporate and government interests and reshaped the politics of energy infrastructure. Amy Janzwood investigates campaign coalitions that were formed to oppose two mega pipeline projects: the expansion of Trans Mountain, which was ultimately completed; and Northern Gateway, which was never built. Drawing on a wide array of documents and in-depth insider interviews with oil executives, senior government officials, coalition organizers, and lawyers, she analyzes the strategic alliances and tactics that have empowered -- and attempted to thwart -- these movements. "Mega Pipelines, Mega Resistance" is an ambitious study that underscores the power of campaign coalitions to sustain resistance and shape government policy and industry practices"--]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756838</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756838</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Janzwood, Amy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/756838012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Tar Sands, Social Movements, and the Politics of Energy Infrastructure</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780774872355/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mill Girls]]></title><description><![CDATA[Join Heather Barrett on an extraordinary journey as she uncovers the mystery of the Mill Girls. Using humour, drama, and heartwarming tales, their story illuminates the 1940's exodus of young single women from the then country of Newfoundland to Cambridge, an industrial city in Ontario. The Mill Girls invaded Canada like a tidal wave, transforming the demographics, culture and economics of an entire region, and launching a feminist offensive before the word itself existed. Who were they? Why did they leave Newfoundland? And why did their stories vanish?

The institutions and markets that have been supporting the arts are undergoing massive changes, some even disappearing. Meanwhile the tools to make art and find audiences have never been more accessible, and there are more people than ever making art. How Artists Make Money and How Money Makes Artists is an attempt to reckon with the history of money in the arts -- from Titian to Taylor Swift -- and how that complicated relationship is changing. David Berry analyzes past and present financial dynamics in the arts to show the practicalities of how artists make a living and how that, in turn, affects the reception and perception of artists and their work: the impacts art has on wider society, how economic realities affect aesthetic judgments of art, what kind of people are able to work as artists, and how political and cultural ideas about the nature of art affect what kind of resources are made available to it. David Berry explores how art has become central to our understanding of humanity by tying art to what makes the world go round: money. Along the way, he challenges popular ideas of what constitutes a successful artistic career and considers what our treatment of artists says about us"--]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756812</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756812</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Berry, David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/756812012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781552455067/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[More and More and More]]></title><description><![CDATA["It has become habitual to think of our relationship with energy as one of transition: with wood superseded by coal, coal by oil, oil by nuclear and then at some future point all replaced by green sources. Jean-Baptiste Fressoz's devastating but unnervingly entertaining book shows what an extraordinary delusion this is. Far from the industrial era passing through a series of transformations, each new phase has in practice remained almost wholly entangled with the previous one. Indeed the very idea of transition turns out to be untrue. The author shares the same acute anxiety about the need for a green transition as the rest of us, but shows how, disastrously, our industrial history has in fact been based on symbiosis, with each major energy source feeding off the others. Using a fascinating array of examples, Fressoz describes how we have gorged on all forms of energy-with whole forests needed to prop up coal mines, coal remaining central to the creation of innumerable new products and oil still central to our lives. The world now burns more wood and coal than ever before. This book reveals an uncomfortable truth: 'transition' was originally itself promoted by energy companies, not as a genuine plan, but as a means to put off any meaningful change. More and More and More forces its readers to understand the modern world in all its voracious reality, and the true nature of the challenges heading our way"--]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756841</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756841</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fressoz, Jean-Baptiste]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/756841012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An All-consuming History of Energy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063444935/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rule Breaker Investing]]></title><description><![CDATA[Want to know the real secret to investing success?

You would be forgiven for thinking that, until very recently, there were none at all. But what about Phryne, the richest woman in ancient Athens, who offered to pay to rebuild the walls of Thebes after the city was razed by Alexander the Great? Or what about Priscilla Wakefield, the writer who set up the first English bank for women and children? And, just as important, what about the everyday women who, paid only a pittance, labored for the profit of others? From the most successful women of their day to those who struggled to make ends meet, Economica takes you on a journey that begins in the Stone Age and ends in the twenty-first century, spanning the world's historic centers of prosperity: Egypt, Mesopotamia, Peru, the Indus Valley, the Roman Empire, the Islamic Empire, China, Europe, and the United States. By shining a light on the women whose contributions to the economy have been hidden for far too long, Economica is more than a history of women -- it is a more accurate economic history of us all"--]]></description><link>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755400</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755400</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bateman, Victoria N.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pepl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/755400012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Global History of Women, Wealth, and Power</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541606067/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wealthy Barber]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this engaging tale set in hometown, Canada, our financial hero ...
