We must stop burning fossil fuels if we have any hope of saving the planet, but the significant, haphazard expansion of green energy in recent years—from large solar projects to wind energy to mining for renewables—has destroyed communities and ecosystems.

Green energy and renewables are heralded as the only way to mitigate our ever-worsening ecological crisis. But that’s not the whole story. In Bad Energy , award-winning journalist Joshua Frank argues that the green energy transition is driven not by an effort to save the planet but by profit incentives. We must stop burning fossil fuels if we have any hope of saving the planet, but the significant, haphazard expansion of green energy in recent years—from large solar projects to wind energy to mining for renewables—has destroyed communities and ecosystems.

What if time isn't real—and reality is moving faster than you realize? From strange weather and restless nights to days that seem to vanish in the blink of an eye, something about our world feels different. In The Time Illusion, Daphne Anne Sotheby explores a bold question most of us have never dared to ask: What if time is not what we've been told it is? Blending philosophy, science, spirituality, and real-world observation, this thought-provoking book explores the possibility that time is a human construct—and that modern society has chosen to accelerate it.
