In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the year 1960. Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability. The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized. While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4110085</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4110085</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Solnit, Rebecca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4110085030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Notes on A World of Change</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798888904923/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dopamine Kids]]></title><description><![CDATA["...

Yet the fact we have subjective experience of the world remains one of nature's greatest mysteries. How is it that our mental operations are accompanied by feelings, thoughts, and a sense of self? What would a scientific investigation of our inner life look like, considering we have as little distance and perspective on it as fish do of the sea? In A World Appears, Michael Pollan traces the unmapped continent that is consciousness, bringing radically different perspectives-scientific, philosophical, literary, spiritual and psychedelic-to see what each can teach us about this central fact of life. When neuroscientists began studying consciousness in the early 1990s, they sought to explain how and why three pounds of spongy grey matter could generate a subjective point of view-assuming that the brain is the source of our felt reality. Pollan takes us to the cutting edge of the field, where scientists are entertaining more radical (and less materialist) theories of consciousness. He introduces us to "plant neurobiologists" searching for the first flicker of consciousness in plants; scientists striving to engineer feelings into AI, and psychologists and novelists seeking to capture the felt experience of our slippery stream of consciousness. In Pollan's dazzling exploration of consciousness, he discovers a world far deeper and stranger than our everyday reality. Eye-opening and mind-expanding, A World Appears takes us into the laboratories of our own minds, ultimately showing us how we might make better use of the gift of awareness to more meaningfully connect with our deepest selves"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4099206</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4099206</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pollan, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4099206030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Journey Into Consciousness</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984881991/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kin]]></title><description><![CDATA["An unforgettable novel about two lifelong friends whose worlds converge after many years apart in the face of a devastating tragedy"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4110194</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4110194</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jones, Tayari]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4110194030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525659181/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life: A Love Story]]></title><description><![CDATA["As 92-year old "Flo" Green writes a long letter to Ruthie, the woman who, as a little girl, lived next door to Flo, she thinks, This is an autobiography in things. And this letter will transform her-and those around her-in ways she couldn't even imagine. Flo is nearing the end of her life, and she wants to leave her house and all of her belongings to Ruthie, with whom she still enjoys a close relationship. Through Flo's stories about the possessions in her home, we see the life she has lived, and are reminded of the surprising value of "little" things. (What could possibly be the worth of a rubber band kept in a matchbox tied up in red ribbon?) Flo also encourages Ruthie to reconsider her impending divorce by sharing a startling, long-buried secret about Flo's own perfect-seeming marriage. As Flo reflects on her life, she takes herself up on tiny dares: she's never had a mani-pedi, for example, and as long as she's going to the beauty parlor, she might as well get a blue streak put in her hair. She makes new friends and tries to help them find the fulfillment that only a full life has led her to understand.

Why? Because the cookie, so often underestimated by its compact size, is a bakingpowerhouse, a shapeshifting canvas. This very adaptability endears the cookie to the masses, and it's no wonder that everyone has a favorite cookie (or two). Beyond their flavors, cookies represent a multitude of stories, with each baker infusing a fragment of their journey into every batch. In Lieu's own baking, she's discovered pieces of her spirit, heritage, and dreams stirred into the batter and dough, each cookie a chapter of a larger narrative waiting to be savoredand shared. 108 Asian Cookies is an ode to this personal and intimate world of cookies-a world as varied and rich as the tapestry of Asian cultures and ingredients that inspired these recipes. Some of the cookies reflect Lieu's third-culture identity as a Canadian-born Vietnamese Chinese American while other recipes blend flavors and stories from across Asia and its diasporas. And some recipes are by members of Subtle Asian Baking, the global online baking group Lieu founded in 2020. The recipes here aren't just about introducing black sesame, pandan, miso, and ube into the cookie lexicon: these 108 cookies will also dive into timeless recipes passed down through generations, the ones that meld our personal histories with broader ones-that of colonization and immigration, of adapting and settling, of practicality and creativity"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4071972</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4071972</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lieu, Kat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4071972030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Not-too-sweet Treats From A Third-culture Kitchen</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316579162/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Impossible Fortune]]></title><description><![CDATA["Who's got time to think about murder when there's a wedding to plan?

On October 25th, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: "One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this." This tweet was viewed more than ten million times. One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This chronicles the deep fracture that has occurred for Black, brown, Indigenous Americans, as well as the upcoming generation, many of whom had clung to a thread of faith in Western ideals, in the idea that their countries, or the countries of their adoption, actually attempted to live up to the values they espouse"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4013517</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4013517</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[El Akkad, Omar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4013517030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593804148/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Family of Spies]]></title><description><![CDATA["A propulsive, never-before-told story of one family's shocking involvement as Nazi and Japanese spies during WWII and the pivotal role they played in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It began with a call from a screenwriter, asking about a story. Your family. World War II. Nazi spies. Christine Kuehn was shocked and confused. When she asked her seventy-year-old father, Eberhard, what this could possibly be about, he stalled, deflected, demurred, and then he wept. He knew this day would come. The Kuehns, a once-prominent Berlin family, saw the rise of the Nazis as a way out of the hard times that had befallen them. When the daughter of the family, Eberhard's sister, Ruth, met Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels at a party, the two hit it off, and they had an affair. But Ruth had a secret--she was half Jewish--and Goebbels found out. Rather than having Ruth killed, Goebbels instead sent the entire Kuehn family to Hawaii, to work as spies half a world away. There, Ruth and her parents established an intricate spy operation from their home, just a few miles down the road from Pearl Harbor, shielding Eberhard from the truth. They passed secrets to the Japanese, leading to the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. After Eberhard's father was arrested and tried for his involvement in planning the assault, Eberhard learned the harsh truth about his family and faced a decision that would change the path of the Kuehn family forever. Jumping back and forth between Christine discovering her family's secret and the untold past of the spies in Germany, Japan, and Hawaii, Family of Spies is fast-paced history at its finest, and will rewrite the narrative of December 7, 1941"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4079437</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4079437</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kuehn, Christine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4079437030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A World War II Story of Nazi Espionage, Betrayal, and the Secret History Behind Pearl Harbor</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250344465/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Impossible Fortune]]></title><description><![CDATA["Who's got time to think about murder when there's a wedding to plan?
