polycrisis noun /'pa: .li, krai.sis/
a time of great disagreement, confusion, or suffering caused by many different crises occurring simultaneously and amplifying one another.

How do we live in the age of disaster?

Help is here for our bodies, hearts, minds, and shared homes. By amplifying resources for resilience, the authors underscore preparedness as a constant, communal practice. They offer inspiration from frontline organizers who help their communities prepare for emergencies, demonstrate how to envision probable futures after upheaval, and showcase people-powered projects that nurture collective regeneration. With engaging prompts, concise checklists, and heartfelt advice, Compassion in Crisis helps its readers build and sustain the durable mutual aid networks necessary for rapid response in the face of disaster. This is your invitation into the lifelong work of caring for our Earth and one another as we all find our way through the polycrisis.

Lisa lives in Noisy Village with her brothers and their friends. With so many children living there, it's a very noisy place indeed! A charming collection of stories from one of the world's best-loved children's authors.

In And You Will Call It Fate, Timothy J. Hillegonds explores an eight-year relationship with Sean Dempsey, a charismatic yet volatile former NFL player turned entrepreneur who profoundly reshaped the trajectory of Hillegonds's life. Set against the backdrop of Chicago's financial district, the memoir follows Hillegonds--a high school dropout, struggling addict, and estranged father--as he unexpectedly enters the high-stakes world of finance under Dempsey's intense mentorship.

A troubling undercurrent of manipulation and control soon belies Dempsey's initially supportive mentorship. As he considers the devastating two-year lawsuit through which he broke free, Hillegonds thoughtfully explores the complicated bonds formed when gratitude intersects with obligation, and harm with healing. Part workplace memoir and part nuanced meditation on masculinity, power, and redemption, Hillegonds's tightly crafted narrative asks the reader to consider a difficult question: How does one reconcile the debts owed to those who simultaneously save and harm us?
