Vanishing Treasures: A Bestiary of Extraordinary Endangered Creatures
by Katherine RundellA MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK FROM BOSTON GLOBE, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, & MORE • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Katherine Rundell comes a &“rare and magical book&” (Bill Bryson) reckoning with the vanishing wonders of our natural world "Extraordinary...For anyone whose capacity for wonder could use a jumpstart, Rundell's essays are essential reading."—Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air "This celebration of seahorses, lemurs, and others doubles as a wake-up call: look around and protect what you love.&” —Boston GlobeThe world is more astonishing, more miraculous, and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. In this brilliant and passionately persuasive book, Katherine Rundell takes us on a globe-spanning tour of the world's most awe-inspiring animals currently facing extinction.Consider the seahorse: couples mate for life and meet each morning for a dance, pirouetting and changing colors before going their separate ways, to dance again the next day. The American wood frog survives winter by allowing itself to freeze solid, its heartbeat slowing until it stops altogether. Come spring, the heart kick-starts itself spontaneously back to life. As for the lemur, it lives in matriarchal troops led by an alpha female (it&’s not unusual for female ring-tailed lemurs to slap males across the face when they become aggressive). Whenever they are cold or frightened, they group together in what&’s known as a lemur ball, paws and tails intertwined, to form a furry mass as big as a bicycle wheel.But each of these extraordinary animals is endangered or holds a sub-species that is endangered. This urgent, inspiring book of essays dedicated to 23 unusual and underappreciated creatures is a clarion call insisting that we look at the world around us with new eyes—to see the magic of the animals we live among, their unknown histories and capabilities, and above all how lucky we are to tread the same ground as such vanishing treasures.Beautifully illustrated, and full of inimitable wit and intellect, Vanishing Treasures is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck, to reckon with the beauty of the world, its fragility, and its strangeness.

Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage
by Jessie HarroldExplore this supportive, grounding guide for new mothers navigating the cascade of identity change and transformation that is motherhood. Our modern, Western societal understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother—beyond emotional rollercoasters and healing her pelvic floor—remains largely uncharted territory. The transition to motherhood actually takes two to three years, not six weeks or three months as we&’ve been led to believe. Mothershift offers a supportive, affirming road map to take women through this transformational process. Jessie Harrold introduces her &“map for your becoming,&” a research-based, four-phase model that maps out how the transition to motherhood unfolds and helps women to navigate every step along the way. She has used this model to guide thousands of women through the shift into motherhood. Harrold also includes self-inquiry questions and journal prompts in each chapter to help women identify and thrive amidst the cascade of changes they can expect as they enter motherhood. Topics include: Normalizing the feelings of grief and loss of self you may feel along the way. Navigating the discomfort of not knowing who you are anymore now that you&’re a mother. Guiding you to cultivate a sense of empowerment and leadership in motherhood, showing you how mothering is a counterculture act. Showing you how to use the &“superpowers&” that motherhood can offer—self-tending, creativity, embodiment, ritual, community, inner knowing, and earth connection.Gently guiding you to explore who you are becoming.
Over to You: Letters Between a Father and Son
by John Berger Yves BergerCompelling and intimate, this collection of never-before-seen letters between the celebrated art critic and essayist, John Berger and his son Yves, an artist, is a moving look at their musings on art, memory, life, death, and beyond.Written between 2015-16, with 53 color images of well-known old masters and contemporary art as well as some of the Bergers&’ own drawings and watercolors, Over to You is an informal back and forth not unlike the ping-pong games father and son used to play in the barn of their house. It begins when John—who is in a Parisian suburb—sends Yves—who is in Haute Savoie—an envelope of reproductions of art that have moved him. And so they begin to reveal their thoughts looking at a Goya, Watteau, Twombly, Joan Mitchell, Durer, Caravaggio, Manet, and Euan Uglow, among many others. But the art is just a way to summon shared emotions and memories, as well as deepen their understanding of the world and its mysteries.John at 89 is the more formal teacher, Yves at 39 comes across as the younger, philosophical artist. There are John&’s thoughts on the use of color, light and space in, say, a Dürer, or a Beckmann to the question of &“staying fully alive&”; or Yves noting how much in life exceeds our understanding, the gap between our consciousness and our feeling, between the said and the unsaid. &“That&’s the zone where I would like us to meet. Are you coming?&” He asks his father. &“I may need other eyes to confirm what is really there. Like your eyes always did.&” This is an exceptional and moving tribute to a relationship between a father and son, and between two artists, as well as a thought provoking look at questions we all have about work, time, the universe, life and death.

In the Northern Irish border town of Cross, after decades of violent activity protesting British rule, a community plays out its end game.Francie, a hardened yet troubled IRA man, has authorized the murder of a policeman by two teenaged henchmen.

An Introduction to International Relations offers a foundational explanation of the theories, systems, actors and events that shape external relations between nations in today's global society.
