The Reindeer Chronicles
"Compelling, Fascinating, sometimes unexpectedly moving, this vitally important book is, above all, a springboard for hope and transformation."—Isabella Tree "A lucid and compelling look at the global movement of ecological rehabilitation."— The Boston Globe In a time of uncertainty about our environmental future—an eye-opening global tour of some of the most wounded places on earth, and stories of how a passionate group of eco-restorers is leading the way to their revitalization.

Cows Save the Planet
In Cows Save the Planet, journalist Judith D. Schwartz looks at soil as a crucible for our many overlapping environmental, economic, and social crises. Schwartz reveals that for many of these problems—climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, droughts, floods, wildfires, rural poverty, malnutrition, and obesity—there are positive, alternative scenarios to the degradation and devastation we face. In each case, our ability to turn these crises into opportunities depends on how we treat the soil. Drawing on the work of thinkers and doers, renegade scientists and institutional whistleblowers from around the world, Schwartz challenges much of the conventional thinking about global w...

Field Notes from a Catastrophe
A new edition of the book that launched Elizabeth Kolbert's career as an environmental writer--updated with three new chapters, making it, yet again, "irreplaceable" (Boston Globe). Elizabeth Kolbert's environmental classic Field Notes from a Catastrophe first developed out of a groundbreaking, National Magazine Award-winning three-part series in The New Yorker. She expanded it into a still-concise yet richly researched and damning book about climate change: a primer on the greatest challenge facing the world today. But in the years since, the story has continued to develop; the situation has become more dire, even as our understanding grows. Now, Kolbert returns to the defining book of her career. She has added a chapter bringing things up-to-date on the existing text, plus three new chapters--on ocean acidification, the tar sands, and a Danish town that's gone carbon neutral--making it, again, a must-read for our moment.
The Mother Puzzle
"This brave and important book gives voice to the ambivalence that plagues women today as they confront the contradictions of modern mothering. The Mother Puzzle tackles the difficult questions: Has new medical technology liberated our reproductive choices or trapped us with too many options? If a woman has modeled her professional life on her father, how can she envision herself as a mother? After spending so much of our lives dieting and working out, how does contemplating pregnancy change the way we think about our bodies? What happens to our egalitarian marriages as we move from being partners to being parents?" "The generation now embarking upon motherhood is unique. Many women have gro...
