Book Description
Who would imagine that plants can become master teachers of a radical new way of seeing and interacting with the world? Plants are dynamic and resilient, living in intimate connection with their environment. This book presents an organic way of knowing modeled after the way plants live. When we slow down, turn our attention to plants, study them carefully, and consciously internalize the way they live, a transformation begins. Our thinking becomes more fluid and dynamic; we realize how we are embedded in the world; we become sensitive and responsive to the contexts we meet; and we learn to thrive within a changing world. These are the qualities our culture needs in order to develop a more sustainable, life-supporting relation to our environment. While it is easy to talk about new paradigms and to critique our current state of affairs, it is not so easy to move beyond the status quo. That’s why this book is crafted as a practical guide to developing a life-infused way of interacting with the world.

Book Description
With humor, foresight, and rarely hidden effort, Phillip Knight Scott dares to ask important, existential questions in his first collection of poems. There may be few answers in PAINT THE LIVING, PLANT THE DEAD - indeed the whole thing is a bit absurd - but sometimes asking the questions can be enough. What is the point of life? Why is my hair gray? Where are my keys? These poems won't answer these questions, but you'll at least have something to read on your way to wherever you end up.

Book Description
In this daring book, Bradie S. Crandall challenges the pervasive assertion that you need to eat meat to grow big and strong with the highest quality and most up-to-date science available. Viewing the human body as a machine, he uses his training as an engineer to dissect common misconceptions surrounding the controversial nutritional landscape with ease. Within this text is a bold new dietary approach for strength athletes. Bradie asserts that a diet featuring plants could potentially be more conducive to building strength and mass than a diet featuring animal products. He breaks down the science and helps explain why across professional athletics, more and more elite athletes are adopting plant-based diets.
