Blue Hope
I found myself excitedly telling my friends about this book, saying: “It’s such a great coffee table book that it almost makes me want to buy a coffee table.” Joking aside, I’ve long been a fan of Sylvia Earle. I even had a chance to sit down and chat with her quite some years ago

Ian’s Ride
In Ian’s Ride, Karen Polinsky tells an inspiring story of Ian Mackay learning ways to approach life after he had been paralyzed from the neck down.
