English | ASIN: B0CFC3WDBH | 2024 | 8 hours and 39 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 245 MB
Author: Dr. Akilah Cadet
Narrator: Dr. Akilah Cadet

Founder and CEO of consulting firm Change Cadet Dr. Akilah Cadet shares a powerful, incisive look at where we are in the fight to dismantle white supremacy-and what we urgently need to do next​. This is the story of how I became an unapologetic Black disabled woman in a white world. This book is for people who look and live structurally like me to be valued, seen, heard and perhaps some advice on how to navigate life amongst white supremacy. This book is also for white people who have been "doing the work" since the murder of George Floyd to read my story and be able to clearly see systemic oppression, racism, and ableism. There are books sharing the historical context of white supremacy, providing tips on how to be an ally or anti-racist, and firsthand experiences from Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) which are important. I push the conversation that leads to real change through my story. This book is for the Black woman who is looking to been seen and soft in shared lived experience. It is for the white person who is immersing themselves in the community they want to advocate for. It is for anyone who understands that learning and unlearning is lifelong.

Sites of Impact Meteorite Craters Around the World


Free Download Stan Gaz, "Sites of Impact: Meteorite Craters Around the World"
English | ISBN: 156898815X | 2009 | 145 pages | PDF | 17 MB
The best-preserved impact sites are often difficult to access – buried under ice, obscured by foliage, or baking in desert climes. These desolate landscapes are connected to another place outside of our world, and for photographer Stan Gaz they are sites of pilgrimage – steps in a journey begun as a curious young boy accompanying his father on geological expeditions, and culminating in a six-year journey traveling the globe in search of these sites, much of that time spent leaning his medium format camera out of an open-sided helicopter. The eightyfive astounding black-and-white photographs collected in Sites of Impact transcend the purely documentary and intersect the sublime. In addition to photographs of the craters and their surrounding landscapes, Gaz includes photographs of actual meteorites and of his own carefully crafted sculptures that recreate their often dynamic form and mimic their specific mineral content. Anecdotal passages about the artist’s experiences photographing each crater are interspersed with scientific data regarding the crater’s location, age, structure, and condition.
