Climate catastrophe-inspired narratives like “Electrify Everything!” have a grip on people’s minds. The simplicity of the solution to the most complex endeavor ever faced by humans—the journey to a net zero future—is seductive, but it is fundamentally flawed. In Path to Zero: 12 Climate Conversations That Changed the World, author Tucker Perkins takes listeners on a series of future-casting journeys from the Year 2050 back to the present day to show us how a better way—a wide path to net zero carbon emissions—was, and can be, achieved in an accelerated time frame.

Everyone who is serious about ideas now has to deal with the issue of "intellectual property", especially given the advent of digital media and the state's war on the supposed violators of the intellectual rights of others. The situation has at once become very hopeful, with more sharing of ideas than ever before in history, and extremely grim, with the federal government pressuring every internet-service provider to act as proxy enforcers of an unjust law - and twisting the arms of developing countries to adopt draconian, Western-style IP law.

It was just a rock. A pretty one, and it intrigued the Incas as a bauble, a trade item. It helped keep the Inca Empire afloat. The Spanish made the first recorded find back in 1600. It was still just a rock. And it subsided into the history ofthe western Amazon Basin for more than 300 years. However, it took a man of vision to see what really layinside that rock. Perhaps, therein, lies a story. Such legends, rumors, and sometimes successes, are the fodder for #TheStoryteller.

I am a hard-nosed, experienced Detective First. I have solved some of the most viscious murders you can imagine. But something changed. Suddenly the recently dead reached out to me, handing me what I needed to solve cases. However, that is not easy. How do I explain that I discovered the name of the killer from a ghost? As if a key had turned, I loosened up, found the lover I was missing, and then, even more surprising, she soon had the same skill. Not sure how that happened, but we welcomed it. The trick was somehow masking that ability while benefitting with it. We got very good at it, ...

There have always been prophets among us, walking a path of prayerful humility and hungering only for truth, righteousness, and purity. Many, not knowing that they, themselves, are among the prophets until the veil is lifted, are just now waking. Those men, women, and even children, will think to themselves as they consider this book: “I’ve always known this in my heart.”

In the summer, Maui's north shore will throw up sixty foot waves. Those are more than dangerous enough. In the winter, those can reach one hundred feet and they are all too often, deadly. Now, what faces the best detectives in all of Hawaii is the combination of huge waves, crazy surfers and killers who have learned to use both to their own advantage. It takes loss, love, determination, and in the end, more courage than either could imagine to stop this threat. For the first time in a hundred and fifty years, the name vampire has a distinct meaning. In 1875, it was a splashy tale to tickle ...

In the sometimes violent southwest during the growth years of 1850 to 1900, there were many kinds of bandits, outlaws, Indian threats, and gunslingers out to prove a point. There were but three determined kinds of law. The local Sheriff, constrained by jurisdiction, Texas Rangers, spread too thin, and Marshals, for only those ‘important’ federal offenders. But there was another kind of law, the hunter. Paid well on success, bur often dying long before they had the chance to enjoy all that money. Bounties are like gold. The more you get, the more you want. Here is one, who becomes two, ...
