- “Make Natural History and Biological Diversity Documentation ‘Great Again’” by Dr. Melanie DeVore
There is no denying that the resources driving our documentation and understanding of biodiversity are rooted in the history of colonialism.

- New Book Random Homeostasis – On the Nature of Contingent Reality
This book is the first comprehensive exploration of theoretical biology in the context of hybrid, real-time evolution within an ethical and philosophical context. The book focuses upon global biodiversity conservation from the perspectives of mathematical and phenomenological areas of critical significance to the crisis of endangered species and habitat; and the well-being – as well as potential extinction – of humankind. The book discusses new, landmark theories of ecological imagination, survival ethics, and an altogether original discourse on the nature of Nature.
