After several years of research into the new discoveries of science and cosmology and the new translations of the world’s religions, I have found that we are not only going extinct, but that we are the ones doing it through pride and arrogance. We as a species have developed an addiction to this ugly, disconnecting emotion. Totally lost to us is the unifying, sustainable emotion of humility. Clearly, unless we can recover humility’s natural state, we will continue in the violent, frightened, unjust lifestyle of pride, and we will force our own species—and many others on the Earth—into extinction. This book maps out our personal, group, and species pride so there can be no doubt of its powerful influence in—and lethal power over—everything about us. A study of how we can get out of pride and into a state of humility occupies most of the book because that is what we must do right now. If we are to live enjoyable and meaningful lives and have a future, we must throw off pride and enter into humility. This book is a map, guide, and call to hope for our joyful and sustainable future. It’s a call to come out of our slavery to self to see and embrace other humans, groups, and species of the Earth. In this new state of humility, we will be released to see ourselves not just as citizens of the Earth, but as citizens of the cosmos. In humility, we will discover that we are not the center of anything but an important part of everything. We will throw off things like pride’s violence, illusions of control, worry, fear, anger, fighting, comparing, judging, competing, and taking everything personally. We will take on humility’s laughter—especially at ourselves—love, justice, peace, forgiveness, identifying with and appreciating everything, and being all-inclusive. The natural thing would have been for us to evolve into humility. It is the only way that any reflective species in the cosmos can ever hope to survive and flourish.

Simon Nye's TV series, The Durrells, is based loosely on Gerald Durrell's Corfu Trilogy and in particular his much-loved bestseller, My Family and Other Animals. These books in turn are based somewhat loosely on actual events. The real-life Durrells went to Corfu at the urging of Lawrence Durrell, who was already living on the island with his wife, Nancy Myers. Their intent was to keep the family together as his mother, Louisa, was drinking heavily and recovering from a breakdown; 'We can be proud of the way we brought her up', Larry said, only half-jokingly, of the family's subsequent Corfu sojourn. Michael Haag's book covers the background to the Durrell family's years in Corfu, including their time in India, where all the children were born, and where their father, a brilliant civil engineer, had died. It recalls the real-life characters the Durrells encountered on Corfu, notably the biologist and poet Theodore Stephanides, and the taxi driver, Spiros Halikiopoulos. And Haag tells the story of how the Durrells left Corfu, including Margo's return intent on joining the Greek resistance, and Leslie's romance in England with the family's Corfite maid and friend, Maria Kondos. Further chapters cover what happened to the family in later life; here, Lawrence and Gerald Durrell's biographies are well known, but little has previously been written of Margo, Leslie and Louisa. Haag has fascinating stories to tell of them all.

Making Mars is the story of Dirk, a kid who applies his additive manufacturing, robotics, and programming expertise to survive on Mars. After 100 years of terraforming, Mars is barely habitable. Dirk leaves Hawaii and heads to Mars to help with the building of the Space Elevator that will transform the logistics of Martian life. However, the job is less straightforward than he expected - when not busy at the Crane Farm, managing deliveries of Space Elevator parts, (and narrowly escaping being crushed by stray packages hurling toward him at 3000 miles an hour) the mysterious operations of the local Government officials make his life difficult. Forced to use all of his making, hacking and parkour skills to stay one step ahead, he formulates a plan of his own to make life on Mars more fun. Unfortunately, the idea has unforeseen, and devastating, consequences. Will Dirk and his friends be able to fabricate a solution before it is too late? Inspire the budding STEM expert in your life with this exciting adventure that demonstrates the utility of developing an engineering mind and skill set in every chapter.

Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad. Contains: A Harriet Tubman mask, a brochure filled with facts, quotes, and a history trivia card game of 60 cards. The game comes in a handy polybag travel pack. During the Civil War, ex-slave Harriet Tubman was a cook, a nurse and a spy for the Union Army. In 1863, she led a raid by the Union Army in South Carolina. In advance of the raid, she went to the plantation and told the slaves to run into the river and they would be rescued by Union ships. Hundreds of slaves escaped. It was the first military operation in U.S. history to be led by a woman. Sample quote: "I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed more if they knew they were slaves." History comes alive when players take turns using the mask and read a favorite quote plus selections from the biography. They then compete to answer the multiple choice trivia questions. The winner gets to be Harriet Tubman for the day. Fun for the entire family, in the car or wherever you are.
