The Scarcity Myth
Katherine Vega returns to Havenwood, the Appalachian town etched in her bones, not with nostalgia, but the grit of hard truths. The crisp mountain air now carries the metallic tang of coal dust, a constant reminder of the ravaged land and the insidious “scarcity myth” used to justify its exploitation. Armed with a Ph.D. and a research grant, Katherine arrives for a reckoning, determined to dissect the lie that has choked communities like hers for generations. Havenwood isn’t just a research site; it’s a repository of memories. The creaking porch swing of her childhood home, nestled at the foot of a strip-mined mountain, evokes both comfort and unease.

The Lost Codex
In this “brilliant” thriller from the USA Today–bestselling author, ancient biblical documents are at the center of a devastating terrorist threat (Jeffery Deaver). In 930 CE, a revered group of scholars pens the first sanctioned Bible, planting the seed from which other major religions will grow. But in 1953, half the manuscript goes missing while being transported from Syria. Around the same time, in the foothills of the Dead Sea, an ancient scroll is discovered—and promptly stolen. Six decades later, both parchments stand at the heart of a geopolitical battle between foreign governments and radical extremists, threatening the lives of millions. With the American homeland under sie...
Small-Scale Urban Greening
Small-scale urban greening projects are changing the urban landscape, shifting our experience and understanding of greenspaces in our cities. This book argues that including power dynamics, symbolism, and aesthetics in our understanding of the human relationship to urban nature can help us create places that nurture ecological and human health and promote successful and equitable urban communities. Using an interdisciplinary approach to current research debates and new comparative case studies on community perceptions of these urban greening projects and policies, this book explores how small-scale urban greening projects can impact our sense of place, health, creativity, and concentration while also being part of a successful urban greening program. Arguing that wildness, emotion, and sense of place are key components of our human–nature relationship, this book will be of interest to designers, academics, and policy makers.
