Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a new afterword by the authors A powerful, intimate collection of conversations with Indigenous Americans on the climate crisis and the Earth’s future Although for a great many people, the human impact on the Earth—countless species becoming extinct, pandemics claiming millions of lives, and climate crisis causing worldwide social and environmental upheaval—was not apparent until recently, this is not the case for all people or cultures. For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction—and their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation. An American Library Association Notable Book, We Are the Middle of Forever places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions, who share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life. A welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis, We Are the Middle of Forever will be an indispensable aid to those looking for new and different ideas and responses to the challenges we face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 18 year old, Darryl Lowe is determined to make it out of the hood. A talented prize-fighter, he sees boxing as his way over the walls that separate the ghetto from the American Dream. Boxing is his future, but Darryl needs a means of survival for today. Until his boxing career takes off, Darryl follows his childhood friend into the street life. Unlike his friend, who sees the fame of the game as the epitome of success, Darryl has a different end game in mind. However, he becomes blinded by the illusion of the streets and reeled in by the allure of them, leading him to constantly chase the rush that comes with the lifestyle. To him, the spectators on the sidelines - some cheering for him, others booing against him - are all the same. All that matters to him is they’re screaming his name. The highs, the lows...the pain, the heartache, and the murder and treachery are all normalized until it becomes a distraction. Slowly, the goals Darryl once had, begin to fade away until they seem impossible to reach. When the fast life becomes too much, Darryl is forced to choose between the two loves of his life. Will he make the right decision, or will his Street Dreams turn into Nightmares.
