What if you lived in a world without books? After a devastating Blight killed off all the trees, paper is worth more than just about anything. Juni's parents died when she was young, so now it's just her and Grandpa Edgar. When she's not in school, Juni and her friends Doler and Quaze turn to plifting--scavenging for any paper they can find. If Juni can find enough paper, she can pay for the health care Grandpa needs. So when Juni discovers a book--the first one she's ever seen--hidden in a box in her grandpa's closet, she's both surprised and elated thinking of the money she could get for it. That all changes when she decides to read the book. Beyond opening her imagination, the book contains clues that point to what could be the last library on Earth. The library's location has been hidden for more than a hundred years, but Juni and her friends are not the only ones looking for it. Ullred O'Donnell, head of R&D for Novexus, a megacorporation that replaced the government and now controls all information, is desperate to find the library as well. With an army of vicious robot dogs at his command, Ullred warns Juni to abandon her quest--or else. Juni and her friends must find the library and share it with the world before Novexus claims it as their own. If reading one book could change Juni's life, what would access to thousands--or millions--of books do?Sold out -
White Flank: Organizing White People for Racial Justice
White people's participation in racial justice movements has always been fraught, with competing ideas about what meaningful involvement entails. Yet the question of what it will take to get more white people to fight for multiracial democracy is as urgent as ever. Chandra Russo takes up this question in White Flank.
This book tells the story of a new generation of white antiracist efforts in a range of local contexts, from Los Angeles to rural Appalachia. These groups are part of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), which has emerged as the largest U.S.-based effort explicitly seeking to organize white people for racial and economic justice. Beyond just book clubs and discussion circles, and against the seductions of virtue signaling, SURJ invites white communities to take part in antiracist action and equips them to organize for lasting change.
Growing the white flank of a multiracial justice movement is bound to be messy. Russo argues that these groups reorient our understanding of antiracism away from a matter of individual morality and instead towards an emphasis on collective action to change systems. This is a crucial achievement.
The author's proceeds from sales of this book will benefit the Black Leadership Action Coalition of Kentucky (BLACK): https: //kyblack.org/

Lambs in Winter: Sketches of a Vermont Life Through Seasons of Change
Finding hope in a small farm, an engaged community, and an age-old connection to the earth
After half a lifetime spent moving from place to place, Alexis Lathem at last settled down with her husband on a small farm near Vermont's largest city. The lyric essays of Lambs in Winter take readers through the seasonal cycles of raising sheep and hens and growing fruits and vegetables while confronting the challenges of winter storms, summer floods, invasive weeds, and pests and diseases. Ever conscious of her place in a historically colonized and ecologically degraded landscape, Lathem wrestles with ethical questions that come to many rural dwellers who--following Thoreau--set out to "live deliberately," in a time of climate crisis, persistent racial inequity, and growing economic inequality. Likewise, she grapples with the moral complexities of small-scale animal husbandry. Through her efforts at self-provisioning, without holding illusions of the self-reliant individual, Lathem finds herself deeply embedded in the community and reliant on others, especially as her region deals with repeated catastrophic flooding brought on by climate change. Through elegant prose and insightful investigations into pressing contemporary issues, Lathem evokes the world of her farm and the surrounding countryside with a spiritual awareness of the human journey on this earth. Living in place, attuned to the unfolding changes in the world around her, gives her much to grieve, but the pages of Lambs in Winter are luminous with moments of joy and beauty. -

Enduring Hostility: The Making of America's Iran Policy
A timely and rigorous analysis of a half-century of American policymakers' shifting perceptions of Iran, and how they have driven US-Iran relations.
US-Iran hostility has endured for longer than the Cold War. Momentous geopolitical shifts, changing leaderships, and evolving domestic priorities have not fundamentally altered this antagonistic relationship. Standard explanations pin the blame for this enduring hostility on Iran and its leaders' revolutionary ideology and policies at odds with the United States and the West. While Iran bears significant blame for a deeply adversarial relationship--the country often engages in dangerous and repressive activities--this book demonstrates that "it's them, not us" accounts cannot alone explain America's posture toward this complicated but critically important country. Drawing on original interviews with former government officials, oral histories, memoirs, congressional hearings, archival material, and the author's own participation in dozens of Iran-related track two meetings, Dalia Dassa Kaye deftly explores how America's Iran policy is made, the people who make it, and the underlying ideas and perceptions that inform it. Dassa Kaye looks back at US policy toward Iran over the past four decades to help us look ahead, offering wider lessons for understanding American foreign policymaking and providing critical insights at a pivotal time of heightened military tensions in and around the Middle East.

We Paved the Way: Black Women and the Charleston Hospital Workers' Campaign
In the spring of 1969, hundreds of workers, all Black and mostly female, went on strike at Medical College Hospital and Charleston County Hospital to protest racial discrimination, low wages, and the marginalization of their dignity. The movement began with an incident of wrongful termination in 1967 involving five Black women at Medical College Hospital that uncovered the pervasiveness of racial and economic discrimination at both hospitals. The termination sparked outrage among other hospital workers who, with support from local community leaders, organized a movement that galvanized the city, state, and nation. We Paved the Way: Black Women and the Charleston Hospital Workers' Campaign explores this campaign in the context of a broader protest tradition, revealing it to be a full-scale movement that demonstrates the power and complexity of Black women's activism in the mid-twentieth century. O. Jennifer Dixon-McKnight argues that the experiences of the women at the center of this conflict offer a window into the plight of Southern Black working-class women and the ways in which they fought for equality, access, and well-being. Though much of what has been written about the hospital workers' campaign focuses on the strike through an institutional lens, Dixon-McKnight uses extensive interviews and oral history to expand the scope of existing scholarship. Local leaders such as Septima Clark, Esau Jenkins, William Saunders, and Isaiah Bennett served as bridge builders for the Black community's involvement in protest, which helped shape and nurture the hospital workers' campaign. By discussing the grassroots organizing that sparked the strike and tracing the aftermath of the conflict, including what workers experienced in their return to work and their relationships with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Local 1199 Hospital and Nursing Home Employees Union, this volume situates the hospital workers' movement as a critical moment in the nation's long civil rights history. -

Things Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse: Inside the Collapse of Venezuela
"Richly reported...a thorough and important history." -- Tim Padgett, The New York Times
The award-winning, richly nuanced account of the collapse of Venezuela and what it could mean for the rest of the world. Venezuela has been mired in crisis for over a decade--characterized by economic collapse, political polarization, mass emigration, and widespread hardship--even as the country sits atop some of the world's largest oil reserves. In Things Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse, William Neuman provides a vivid, granular chronicle of that descent. Drawing on his experience as The New York Times Andes Region Bureau Chief and years of reporting from Caracas, Neuman explores the interplay of charismatic populism, economic mismanagement, corruption, and the international forces that have shaped Venezuela's fate. The book traces how once-abundant oil wealth became a source of distortion rather than development, how political power concentrated around Hugo Chávez and later Nicolás Maduro, and how everyday Venezuelans endured rolling blackouts, hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine, and threats to personal safety. Neuman blends history, journalism, and personal narrative into a clear-eyed account of how a petro-rich nation imploded, displacing millions and disrupting the region. Winner of Best Books of the Year from Foreign Affairs, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Overseas Press Club of America, the book's historical context provides readers indispensable insight into how decades of policy choices, institutional breakdown, and external pressures set the stage for the crises of today. Rather than offering simple answers, Things Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse equips readers with the historical grounding needed to understand both Venezuela's past and the complexities shaping its future. -
Journey with Jesus
I refer to myself as a late in life Christian. I'm not sure if that is an official term or not, but it is just my way of saying that I did not accept Jesus into my life until I was older. I was forty-four to be exact. It happened on February 13th, 2013. The date is important. It was one of the moments in my life that I like to refer to as a Spiritual Checkpoint. Some people might call them aha moments, lightbulb moments, God winks, divine appointments, or "God-incidences" as Pastor Jim likes to call them. They're those moments in your life, when you immediately pause and reflect on something that JUST happened. You pause because of something special you feel, or because of something that happens, or something that someone says to you, helps you finally make sense of something. In my case, these checkpoints are specific important things that led to me becoming a Christian, and since then have brought understanding to me on my journey with Jesus. There have been "things" that have happened. There have been people that have happened. While all of them are important to guiding me, some of them have been HUGE, and some have been small. Some of them have come at a time when I was struggling with understanding, and they happened right when I needed them to. Others occurred and I did not even realize it, until somewhere down the path, something happens and I smile, as I reflect back and say to myself, "That's it, that's why He gave it to me. That's why He showed me that. That's why He put that person in my life. That's why that conversation happened." I'm sure that many of you are nodding your head right now thinking hmm, yep, it happens to me all the time. Some of you may think I'm crazy, and that's ok. I have had some things happen in my life recently, including writing a book, called 15 Minutes with Jesus, which by the way is one of my spiritual checkpoints, which have made me want to share my journey with Jesus, in this book, with you. Writing my first book was a powerful experience, and this was also. You see, I'm not telling you my story, because I think it's better than yours. I didn't decide to tell my story because I feel like I'm better than you. After all, it's not even my story. It's His story and He is just using me to tell it, to share it. You see, me being a Christian doesn't make me better than anyone..... It simply makes me better than I was. My relationship with Jesus is not complicated, it's not difficult, and it's certainly NOT perfect on my part. But it is real. I'm just an ordinary, run of the mill guy, who wants to share His story, the story of how Jesus has affected my life and worked in me and through me, because I think that it is similar to many people who will read this book. Or, maybe this book is going to be your nudge to spend more time with Jesus. -
Eight Days: A Journey of Hope, A Story of Prayer
What would you do if you had eight days to say goodbye to your child?
When Krystal Bennett received the call no parent is prepared for, she and her husband drove 480 miles through the night to reach their daughter Angelica - a young wife, military veteran, and prodigal daughter - lying unconscious and on life support at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. What followed were eight of the most harrowing, faith-stretching, and ultimately transforming days of their lives.
As Angelica's parents kept vigil at her bedside, something extraordinary began to unfold. Through raw Facebook Live videos, nearly 900,000 people joined them in prayer. Strangers became prayer warriors. Skeptics began to ask questions. And a young husband who had lost his faith found himself face to face with a God he could no longer deny.
Eight Days is not simply a story of loss. It is a mother's firsthand account of watching God move in the middle of the unimaginable - healing what medicine could not, answering prayers in ways that defied expectation, and saving souls even as one slipped away. Told with unflinching honesty and anchored in scripture, Krystal's story will challenge your understanding of suffering, deepen your trust in God's sovereignty, and remind you that He is at work even when we cannot see it.
A powerful and moving story, Angelica's light shines through every page. Whether you are a grieving parent, a struggling believer, or someone who has never known the love of Christ, Angelica's story is for you.
Eight Days will leave you with one undeniable truth: God answers prayer. Sometimes with yes. Sometimes with no. But always - always - with purpose.

In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union
A first-of-its kind collection of short stories that provides an underappreciated perspective on the Holocaust, as it was experienced and remembered in the former Soviet Union.
A death camp survivor asks a local woman to write down in Russian his story, which he conveys in Yiddish. The Jewish population of Kyiv makes a pilgrimage to the site of a massacre on its anniversary. A single teacup becomes the focal point of a Jewish family's complex history. These are just three of the stories featured in In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union, a collection of newly translated short fiction written in the aftermath of one of the most significant Jewish tragedies of the 20th century. In these works, Jewish authors from Ukraine, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus, writing in Yiddish and Russian, tell the stories of ordinary people living on after the devastation of the Holocaust. Filled with memories, love, and loss, these narratives describe not only how people died, but also how they continued to live.
Despite the official view in the Soviet Union that Jewish deaths should be subsumed under the larger tragedy of Nazi Germany's invasion, Jews in the USSR profoundly engaged with thinking about and memorializing the Holocaust, addressing it in a wide range of literary works. The significance of the texts they wrote, however, has remained largely neglected. This volume brings these compelling stories to light, providing readers with critical, annotated translations of authors who wrote in richly diverse ways in the shadow of World War II.
The voices brought together in In the Shadow of the Holocaust create a distinct chorus of personal, idiosyncratic experiences of loss and provide new perspectives on questions fundamental to literature of the Holocaust, the legacies of genocide, and the nature of historical trauma and memory.
