Capitalism Created the Climate Crisis and Capitalism Will Solve It: The Market Forces Catalyzing a Climate Technology Renaissance

By Kentaro Kawamori

"While the scientific cause of global warming is well established, exploration of the economic and social causes of the climate crisis has lagged behind. Starting nearly 200 years ago, the advent of the industrial revolution and the subsequent proliferation of both technology and cheap energy allows us to draw a hard line from the rise of capitalism to a warming planet. Modern finance and innovations in transportation and manufacturing, combined with labor productivity gains, ushered in an era of consumerism, which in the context of global warming is best viewed as over-consumerism ... or consumerism untethered to consequence. This sea change becomes the largest driver of humanity expanding its carbon budget faster than we can replenish it."--

Viewfinder: A Memoir of Seeing and Being Seen

By Jon M Chu, Jeremy McCarter

"Long before he directed Wicked, In The Heights, or the groundbreaking film Crazy Rich Asians, Jon M. Chu was a movie-obsessed first-generation Chinese American, helping at his parents' Chinese restaurant in Silicon Valley and forever facing the cultural identity crisis endemic to children of immigrants. Growing up on the cutting edge of 21st-century technology gave Chu the tools he needed to make his mark at USC film school, and to be discovered by Steven Spielberg, but he soon found himself struggling to understand who he was.

This Ordinary Stardust: A Scientist's Path from Grief to Wonder

By Alan Townsend

"A decade ago, Dr. Alan Townsend's family received two unthinkable, catastrophic diagnoses: his 4-year-old daughter and his brilliant and vivacious wife developed unrelated, life-threatening forms of brain cancer. As he witnessed his young daughter fight during the courageous final months of her mother's life, Townsend - a lifelong scientist - was indelibly altered. He began to see scientific inquiry as more than a source of answers to a given problem, but also as a lifeboat: a lens on the world that could help him find peace with the painful realities he could not change. Through scientific wonder, he found ways to bring meaning to his darkest period. At a time when society's relationship with science is increasingly polarized while threats to human life on earth continue to rise, Townsend offers a balanced, moving perspective on the common ground between science and religion through the spiritual fulfillment he found in his work. Awash in Townsend's electrifying and breathtaking prose, This ordinary stardust offers hope that life can carry on even in the face of near-certain annihilation"--.
