Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive species are everywhere, from forests and prairies to mountaintops and river mouths. Their rampant nature and sheer numbers appear to overtake fragile native species and forever change the ecosystems that they depend on. Concerns that invasive species represent significant threats to global biodiversity and ecological integrity permeate conversations from schoolrooms to board rooms, and concerned citizens grapple with how to rapidly and efficiently manage their populations. These worries have culminated in an ongoing “war on invasive species,” where the arsenal is stocked with bulldozers, chainsaws, and herbicides put to the task of their immediate eradication. In Hawaii, mangrove trees (Avicennia spp.) are sprayed with glyphosate and left to decompose on the sandy shorelines where they grow, and in Washington, helicopters apply the herbicide Imazapyr to smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) growing in estuaries. The “war on invasive species” is in full swing, but given the scope of such potentially dangerous and ecologically degrading eradication practices, it is necessary to question the very nature of the battle. Beyond the War on Invasive Species offers a much-needed alternative perspective on invasive species and the best practices for their management based on a holistic, permaculture-inspired framework. Utilizing the latest research and thinking on the changing nature of ecological systems, Beyond the War on Invasive Species closely examines the factors that are largely missing from the common conceptions of invasive species, including how the colliding effects of climate change, habitat destruction, and changes in land use and management contribute to their proliferation. Beyond the War on Invasive Species demonstrates that there is more to the story of invasive species than is commonly conceived, and offers ways of understanding their presence and ecosystem effects in order to make more ecologically responsible choices in land restoration and biodiversity conservation that address the root of the invasion phenomenon. The choices we make on a daily basis—the ways we procure food, shelter, water, medicine, and transportation—are the major drivers of contemporary changes in ecosystem structure and function; therefore, deep and long-lasting ecological restoration outcomes will come not just from eliminating invasive species, but through conscientious redesign of these production systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sera leads a simple life. A little smuggling, some drinking contests, and captaining her star freighter, Sabrina. But when she picks up a mysterious shipping container on Coburn Station, things begin to go wrong. She finds herself at odds with The Mark, a dangerous pirate organization that wants the cargo on her ship. Inside the container she not only finds a woman, but a secret thought lost millennia ago. The woman is Tanis Richards, and she knows the location of the Intrepid, a missing colony ship from humanity's golden age. Sera knows how to help Tanis and the Intrepid. But to do that, she will need to reveal a secret that will pull her back into a life she left long ago. A life from which she was exiled in shame and disgrace. Tanis doesn't trust Sera; and Sabrina's rag-tag crew is nothing like what she's used to, but she's going to have to rely on them to avoid capture and get back to the Intrepid. As Tanis and Sera battle pirates and interstellar governments, the two women forge a friendship that will forever shape the destiny of humanity.

Book excerpt: Cold War Warriors tells the little-known story of the operations by the Royal Australian Air Force’s P-3 Orions during the latter years of the Cold War. The aircraft’s largely low-profile missions, usually flown far from their base, were often shrouded by confidentiality. Now, access to declassified documents has allowed this story to be told. From the lead-up to their delivery in 1968, to the end of the Cold War in 1991; from the intrigues associated with the procurement of the aircraft and subsequent upgrades, to perilous moments experienced by the aircraft and their crews while conducting operations; and from triumphs to tragedies; Cold War Warriors documents the P-3’s service in the RAAF in the context of the unfolding domestic and international events that shaped the aircraft’s evolving missions. As well as being a story of the RAAF Orions and their growing capabilities, Cold War Warriors is also the story of the crews who flew the aircraft. Using their words, Cold War Warriors faithfully describes a number of incidents, both on the ground, and in the air, to provide a sense of the enormous breadth of service the P-3 Orion has provided to the Royal Australian Air Force, to Australia and to our allies.

Book excerpt: Two complete novels in the New York Times best-selling series, all in one generous volume. Crusade: Neither side in the Human-Orion war was strong enough to defeat the other, so it fizzled into an uneasy peace filled with hatred and mistrust on both sides. Then a ship appeared from the dim mists of half-forgotten history, and fired on the Orion sentry ship, igniting the fires of interstellar war anew, in a quest to free Holy Mother Terra. In Death Ground: The human race and two other star traveling races had warred with each other in the past, but now all three are at peace-a peace which is shattered by the discovery of a fourth race, the "Bugs." The newcomers are mind-numbingly alien in their thought processes, have overwhelming numbers, and regard all other species as fit only to be food animals. There is no hope for peace with the invaders, and the galaxy explodes with a battle to the death. Kill-or be eaten!

Book excerpt: It all began simply enough. In 1976 the Point Reyes Wilderness Act granted the highest protection in America to more than 33,000 acres of California forest, grassland and shoreline – including Drakes Estero, an estuary of stunning beauty. Inside was a small, family–run oyster farm first established in the 1930s. A local rancher bought the business in 2005, renaming it The Drakes Bay Oyster Company. When the National Park Service informed him that the 40–year lease would not be renewed past 2012, he vowed to keep the farm in business even if it meant taking his fight all the way to the Supreme Court. Environmentalists, national politicians, scientists, and the Department of the Interior all joined a protracted battle for the estuary that had the power to influence the future of wilderness for decades to come. Were the oyster farmers environmental criminals, or victims of government fraud? Fought against a backdrop of fear of government corruption and the looming specter of climate change, the battle struck a national nerve, pitting nature against agriculture and science against politics, as it sought to determine who belonged and who didn't belong, and what it means to be wild.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invincible - that's how twelve-year-old Ryan feels when he's traveling the galaxy, dodging asteroids, and shooting giant sandworms. He wishes he could live there forever. But first, he needs to survive middle school. Ryan fails another English test and he's flunking school. He's not going to graduate. His home life isn't any better as his mom overdoses on prescription pills, and her drunk boyfriend breaks Ryan's nose. He would do anything to leave his rusted mobile home, but he's afraid of losing his mom in the process. When a librarian takes interest in Ryan, she shows him the World of Wonderment - a special closet packed full of adventure books. He picks a sci-fi book, Savior of the Stars, and begins to read. He feels sucked into the adventure - a feeling he's never known from reading. It's a fast-paced space adventure full of spaceship dogfights, surviving hostile sand dunes, and eating the local delicacy of eyeball soup. And even though Ryan loses hours every time he reads - he goes back for more. However, not all is well with the book. When the characters crash-land on a desert planet, Ryan feels the pain in his chest. When the characters are tossed in jail, his wrists become sore from the handcuffs. Then when he shows up to school bloody and bruised, no one believes it's the book that's hurting him - and he's not sure he believes it himself. It's not until the decision is ripped from him and a foster home intervenes. The OK Dude Ranch is a safe place, with other boys just like him. For once, he lets his guard down and is able to relax. Yet, in the comfort of the home, Ryan continues to read the book. He's never been on such an exciting journey, alongside a fishy space pirate and a pretty, yet cranky Queen. Finally, Ryan discovers the power of the book, and how invincible he truly is. He then must decide whether to risk his own life, or to rid the galaxy of the dreaded Hive - while hopefully saving his friends, and himself, in the process.

Book excerpt: War has returned to the Thousand Worlds of the Orion spiral arm for the first time in 300 years. Fleets are moving, planets are being bombarded, invading armies are landing. Storms of blood and metal are blowing across the broken face of invaded Genève and four more startled worlds. More war is on the way, racing outward to fill every corner of Orion. Jan Wysocki is a failed officer, a washout from Aral Academy who ran away from his first ever combat. But he's in command, with over 300 fighters looking only to him. He must overcome a lifetime of self-doubt to lead a cutoff and ragtag Madjenik Company on an epic trek to reach the last place of refuge on invaded Genève, if it's even still there. He must master himself as well as the enemy. He must learn to lead in spite of his limits and failures. He doesn't think he can do it. Zofia Jablonski is younger, more confident, more ruthless toward the enemy and brutally honest with Jan. She led her platoon back to save him on that first day, wounded in the leg as he ran away, his back to the enemy. She graduated top of her class. She's a consummate military professional who exudes confidence and competence. Not like him at all. Can they work together? Can they elude the swarming and surrounding enemy to reach refuge? What then? Is there any way off a burning world? Any chance to defy an invader so much more powerful in every way? Can they find a way to make peace no more, forever?

After centuries of struggle, the ISF Intrepid has finally brought its colonists to New Canaan, a star system better than any they had imagined. The colonists made landfall and began to build their new home, far from the troubles of Sol and the Inner Stars. Yet no one in the Orion Arm has forgotten that the colonists possess the most valuable technology known to humankind, least of all Tanis Richards-as she secretly prepares to defend New Canaan against any and all aggressors. Now things have come to a head. A Transcend fleet has invaded New Canaan, and a Hegemony of Worlds fleet on its way. Tanis Richards must defeat a rogue AI that has its own designs for humanity's future, while saving her people from invaders. General, governor, commander of twenty thousand warships, Tanis Richards stands on the edge of a precipice. If she jumps, she will draw all of humanity into total war.
