Paperback. Condition: Good. No one asks for restless moments. No one wants to feel irritated, unsettled, or stuck. When pressed into restless seasons in our relationships, work, or faith, we feel the hum: You can't go back, but you can't stay here. But what if restlessness is normal, healthy, and even holy? What if spiritual questions are not problems to be solved but invitations of the soul? And what if spiritual maturity inspires restlessness rather than inoculating us against it? Spiritual director Casey Tygrett upends the notion that restlessness is a sign that we must move up, move on, or move out. Working within the prayerful tradition of writers like Henri Nouwen and Barbara Brown Taylor, Tygrett turns over our innermost questions and holds them up to the light. Where do I belong? What am I here for? Is there enough? And he finds a surprising alignment of these restless questions with the prayer that Jesus taught us to pray. In that ancient prayer's pleas for belonging, purpose, sustenance, mending, protection, and rescue, we find freedom to ask basic human questions and permission to befriend our longings. Each chapter offers profoundly spiritual practicesthat, when taken together, create a spirituality sturdy enough for our unsettled seasons. In a culture that values happiness and self-actualization, we often race toward the pat resolution or the quick fix. But in doing so, we miss the subtle gifts of unsettled times. Remaining in restlessness, rather than rushing toward the next job, vacation, or partner, moves us deeper into the life of the Spirit and our own belovedness.…

Hardback. Condition: Fair. WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER. 2022 IPPY AWARDS GOLD MEDALIST -- SCIENCE. NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST -- POLITICAL. 2021 WORLD MAGAZINE ACCESSIBLE SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR -- HONORABLE MENTION. 'Unsettled is a remarkable book -- probably the best book on climate change for the intelligent layperson -- that achieves the feat of conveying complex information clearly and in depth.' -- Claremont Review of Books; '[Unsettled] is no polemic. It's a plea for understanding how scientists extract clarity from complexity.' -- Wall Street Journal; 'Surging sea levels are inundating the coasts.' 'Hurricanes and tornadoes are becoming fiercer and more frequent.' 'Climate change will be an economic disaster.' You've heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that 'the science is settled.' In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions -- about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be -- remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe. Now, one of America's most distinguished scientists is clearing away the fog to explain what science really says (and doesn't say) about our changing climate. In Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Steven Koonin draws upon his decades of experience -- including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration -- to provide up-to-date insights and expert perspective free from political agendas. Fascinating, clear-headed, and full of surprises, this book gives readers the tools to both understand the climate issue and be savvier consumers of science media in general. Koonin takes readers behind the headlines to the more nuanced science itself, showing us where it comes from and guiding us through the implications of the evidence. He dispels popular myths and unveils little-known truths: despite a dramatic rise in greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures actually decreased from 1940 to 1970. What's more, the models we use to predict the future aren't able to accurately describe the climate of the past, suggesting they are deeply flawed. Koonin also tackles society's response to a changing climate, using data-driven analysis to explain why many proposed 'solutions' would be ineffective, and discussing how alternatives like adaptation and, if necessary, geoengineering will ensure humanity continues to prosper. Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science that you aren't getting elsewhere -- what we know, what we don't, and what it all means for our future.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK * A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR *  WINNER OF THE GABE HUDSON PRIZE * From the best-selling author of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie, a searing multi-generational novel--set in the 1980s in racially and politically turbulent Philadelphia and in the tiny town of Bonaparte, Alabama--about a mother fighting for her sanity and survival   "Emotionally propulsive . Through a chorus of distinctive and virtuosic voices, we gather the story of a mother, a daughter, and the land that both unites and divides them."- Oprah Daily * "Showcases Ayana Mathis's grace on the page, as writer, as storyteller. A book to be read and re-read." - Jesmyn Ward, author of Let Us Descend   Two bold, utopic communities are at the heart of Ayana Mathis's searing follow-up to her bestselling debut, The Twelve Tribes of Hattie. Bonaparte, Alabama - once 10,000 glorious Black-owned acres - is now a ghost town vanishing to depopulation, crooked developers, and an eerie mist closing in on its shoreline. Dutchess Carson, Bonaparte's fiery, tough-talking protector, fights to keep its remaining one thousand acres in the hands of the last five residents. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, her estranged daughter Ava is drawn into Ark - a seductive, radical group with a commitment to Black self-determination in the spirit of the Black Panthers and MOVE, with a dash of the Weather Underground's violent zeal. Ava's eleven-year-old son Toussaint wants out - his future awaits him on his grandmother's land, where the sounds of cicada and frog song might save him if only he can make it there.    In Mathis's electrifying novel, Bonaparte is both mythic landscape and spiritual inheritance, and 1980s Philadelphia is its raw, darkly glittering counterpoint. The Unsettled is a spellbinding portrait of two fierce women reckoning with the steep cost of resistance: What legacy will we leave our children? Where can we be free.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. "Who built this house? Whose money? Whose blood?"  Ghosts aren't the only thing that can haunt a house. Trynne Delaney's debut novel  explores the insidious legacies of violence and oppression--and how Black, queer love and resistance can disrupt them. With her dad's incarceration, escalating fights with her mom, and an overbearing stepdad she's not sure she can trust, Asha is desperate for the fresh start promised by a move to the country. Her great aunt Aggie's crumbling, pest-ridden house isn't exactly what she had in mind, but the immediate connection she makes with her new neighbor Cole seems like a good sign. Soon, though, Asha's optimism is shadowed by strange and disturbing occurrences within the old house's walls: footsteps stalking the halls; a persistent chill; cold hands around her neck in the middle of the night . . . Fearing for her loved ones' safety--and her own--Asha seeks out the source of these terrifying incidents and uncovers secrets from the past that connect her and Cole's families and reach into the present. But as tensions with her mom and stepdad rise and Cole withdraws, Asha is left alone to try and break the cycle of violence that holds them all in its haunting grip.…
