Written with the help of over 100 experts in fields ranging from geophysics to philosophy, “The Climate Book” will equip you with all the knowledge you need to combat the most urgent crises humanity has ever faced: climate change and the collapse of biodiversity. Thunberg writes, “The most effective way to get out of this mess is to educate ourselves,” and this book does just that by taking the reader through how climate works, how our planet is changing, how it affects us, what we’ve done about it, and what we must do now. Above all we learn it must be us, it must be all of us, and it must be now.

I Have Some Questions for You: A Novel By Rebecca Makkai Cover Image

Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Viking - February 21st, 2023

I could not put this book down! Yes, it has all the best qualities of an immersive literary thriller untangling a twenty-year-old boarding school murder replete with professors, podcasters, and overlooked suspects. But what carries this book far beyond its well-crafted characters and gripping plot is the murky undercurrent of questions it poses. How does imperfect memory guide the hand of the present? What is the instinct that lures us towards tragedy, the impulse to insert ourselves into the story? How far will we go to satiate our hunger for resolution?
