In recent years, young college grads have faced an alarming reality: crushing debt, unemployment, and jobs below their qualifications. They are frustrated that the time and money they invested in a degree have failed to bring about the opportunities they were promised. The anger of this college-educated working class began to boil over during the Covid pandemic, when workers at companies like Apple and Starbucks shocked corporate America by voting to unionize. Not long after, the veteran New York Times reporter Noam Scheiber met Chaya Barrett, an astute college grad and eight-year Apple employee who had helped organize her coworkers at an Apple store near Baltimore. While following Barrett and her cohort as their seemingly spontaneous rebellions spread far and wide--from college-educated workers at Apple stores and Starbucks cafés through video-game studios, and even to Hollywood writers' rooms--Scheiber realized he was witnessing something deep and lasting. Mutiny is the revelatory account of a generation made confident by their historic educational achievements, only to become disillusioned when their degrees yielded far less than they were taught to expect. With striking empathy, Scheiber paints a vivid portrait of this new working class while telling the dramatic story of its revolt against the status quo. He describes how recent developments like the proliferation of artificial intelligence and the war in Gaza have further fueled its discontent, and he explains why the college-educated working class will continue to demand change in the workplace, in cities like New York, and in national politics for years to come."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523858</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523858</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scheiber, Noam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5523858147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Rise and Revolt of the College-educated Working Class</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374610814/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here Where We Live Is Our Country]]></title><description><![CDATA["This story begins with Molly Crabapple's discovery of the art and ephemera left behind by her great-grandfather, Sam Rothbort. Sam was a rough-and-tumble kid who worked at a tannery deep in the Pale of Settlement in 19th century Russia. As a young man he discovered that he was not just a laborer, but an artist--and soon after that, a revolutionary, enlisted in the strikes, street fights, and study groups of a new group of radicals sweeping the Pale: the Jewish Bund. Crabapple saw herself not just in her great-grandfather's career as an artist, but in his revolutionary inclinations. In the story of the Bund, she discovered a movement of artists, philosophers, working people, and street fighters with a thrilling Utopian vision for the world. The founders of the Bund understood themselves as Jews--people with a special history of oppression--but also as part of an international movement that rejected all forms of ethnonationalism. They fought for this vision in parlors, cafés, battlefields and prison camps. Their ideas helped spark the Russian Revolution, which soon swept them aside. Their fighters battled pogromists in an age of nationalism and their leaders tangled with Zionists over the destiny of the Jewish people. Their last stand was in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, where they helped lead a doomed uprising, the heroic and tragic climax to their story. In retelling the epic history of the Bund and its extraordinary cast of characters during one of the most politically and culturally volatile periods in European history, Crabapple asks a critical question: did the Bund fail because of an unworkable dream of solidarity? Or did the world, in thrall to zero-sum nationalism, fail the Bund? This dynamic story is driven by that urgent question--and offers a new lens through which to see our contemporary struggles"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523864</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523864</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Crabapple, Molly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5523864147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593229453/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Planet Money]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the world's leading economics podcast comes an irresistible guide to the hidden world of everyday economics.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523468</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523468</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mayyasi, Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5523468147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape your Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324078777/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[100 Questions & Answers About Social Security for Dummies]]></title><description><![CDATA["100 Questions & Answers About Social Security For Dummies is a clear and straightforward compilation of answers to your most important Social Security questions.

Why did wages at the bottom and in the middle of the pay scale fail to keep up with a growing economy that delivered over 70 percent productivity gains and soaring incomes for those at the top? What caused this divergence, and what can we do about it now? The Wage Standard is a deep dive into these very questions - questions Arin Dube has explored in over two decades of influential research. Painting a new picture with data, Dube shows us how wages for most workers became painfully frozen. But also, he argues, this fate was not inevitable, and more importantly, that it can be reversed. The Wage Standard lays bare how the labor market really works, revealing levers to pull to shift course: to reshape corporate decisions, rethink policy priorities, and rebalance economic power and social norms to better protect the typical worker. These are the keys to unlocking broad-based prosperity. Dube delivers a hopeful message. First, chances are, you deserve a raise. And second, it’s not necessary to fix the broken politics of Washington, DC, in order to get one. Political will, public engagement, and persistence can set a new standard to reset the labor market and improve the lives of American workers starting today. In fact, signs of progress are already offering a glimpse of what a fairer economy can and will look like." -- Amazon.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523171</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523171</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dube, Arindrajit]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5523171147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>What&apos;s Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593471418/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passive Income]]></title><description><![CDATA["Unlock Financial Freedom: Proven Strategies to Build Wealth with Passive Income For Dummies.

With her bestselling book Finding the Mother Tree, forest ecologist Suzanne Simard advanced a revelatory new paradigm for the profound intelligence and interconnectedness of trees. Now, with When the Forest Breathes, she uncovers the ways that nature's deep-rooted cycles of renewal can ensure the longevity of threatened ecosystems. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, Simard has watched timber companies plunder the forest for profit, leaving in their wake an ecosystem at higher risk for wildfire, water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration-from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones-that hold the key to protecting our forests from the threats of logging and climate change. Leading one of the most ambitious climate research initiatives ever undertaken, Simard examines how human interventions-particularly loggers' destruction of the overstory's mother trees-affect new growth in her native British Columbia. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, she unearths groundbreaking findings that, if implemented, could ensure the survival of these ecosystems for generations to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into young women and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder and hope for our planet's endangered places and the intricate practices of caretaking that have sustained them for millennia, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522836</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522836</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Simard, S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5522836147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593318683/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Credit Repair Kit]]></title><description><![CDATA[Need a credit makeover?

But the companies that make it-petrochemical companies which are often subsidiaries of Big Oil like ExxonMobil and Dow Chemical-seem to be hiding in plain sight. For all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Plastic, it turns out, is a financial lifeline for oil companies that are concerned about diminishing demand for oil and gas in the future, and these companies are doing everything they can to double and eventually triple plastic production by 2050. Award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner gives readers an up-close look at the plastic industry's relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change. Every chapter in Plastic Inc brings new revelations, including: how Big Oil invented the idea of recycling, even though they always knew that recycling; plastic at scale would never work (and by doing so, they created the playbook that big tobacco and big pharma would later follow); how microplastics are becoming a health crisis; how oil companies have linked with political forces to fight against bans on single use plastic like plastic bags, even creating laws that ban bans; the major characters and personalities behind what amounts to a hidden corporate and political scandal perpetuated over decades.

Schools make citizens. Certainly, the founders of America thought so: they wholeheartedly believed that democracy depends on the diffusion of public, universal, and secular education. Today, all American children study history, with virtually all taking one or more courses in government. Yet the typical American student is stunningly ignorant in these subjects: in the 2022 tests administered by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, only 20 percent of students scored at the "proficient" level in civics, and 31 percent fell "below basic." THE CRADLE OF CITIZENSHIP chronicles James Traub's year of observing public schools across the country, weaving in topics such as the history of civic education, the debates between partisans of the 1619 Project and 1776 Report, and the state of Florida's "war on 'woke.'" Traub documents and compares different approaches to civics and history: the unitary, value-focused visions of schools in more conservative areas, and the pluralistic, identity-oriented conception of progressive schools. From interviews with teachers, school board members, and instructional providers, to his research of curricular manifestos, state standards, and foundational reports, Traub also maps the polarized pedagogical landscape that hovers above the classroom, pitting some educational goals, such as "mastering skills," against others, such as "memorizing facts." Along the way, Traub finds two intriguing new approaches to civics that might provide hope for the future: the project "Educating for American Democracy," a new roadmap available to schools who want to steer clear of red-blue mayhem, and the so-called "classical school," a throwback model based on the study of great books and the conscious molding of character. THE CRADLE OF CITIZENSHIP sheds light on one of the most fundamental, divisive issues of our time-the education of the country's future generations-while offering practical solutions to ensure their success"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5503452</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5503452</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baradaran, Mehrsa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5503452147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Brief History</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393881820/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Feather Wars]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Feather Wars traces the early bird-protection movement in the United States, beginning with growing public concern after the extinction of the passenger pigeon.

They are working women, whose astounding accomplishments defy patriarchal norms. And while not all women can be Rihanna or Dolly Parton or Reese Witherspoon, their successes help us understand the central role of everyday women in today's economy. Swiftynomics assesses the complex economic lives of American women. Drawing insights from pathbreakers like Taylor Swift, Misty Heggeness digs into the data revealing women's hidden contributions and aspirations-the unexamined value they create by following their own ambitions. She confronts misconceptions about the roles women play in today's economy by highlighting the abundance of productive activity occurring in their daily lives and acknowledging the barriers they still face. Lighthearted but substantive, Swiftynomics explores critical reforms like paying caregivers for work on behalf of their families and collecting statistical documentation of gendered labor that currently goes unrecognized.

Drawing on a lifetime spent in the wilds of western Canada's national parks and years of conservation work, Van Tighem reflects on a career spent protecting the natural world and the emotional toll of witnessing its decline. Freed from bureaucratic constraints after retirement, he turned to writing, activism, and politics, driven by a sense of duty to the landscapes and species he loves. But alongside his commitment to action came profound grief and the pressing question: how do we find hope amid environmental loss? Van Tighem's reflections are anchored in the "understory" of his life--the hidden, tangled layers beneath the surface of his experiences. Like the shadowed depths of a forest, these memories and insights are both beautiful and unsettling, revealing the challenges and rewards of engaging fully with the world around us. With unflinching honesty, he examines the joys of connection, the pain of loss, and the enduring value of caring deeply, even when the odds feel insurmountable. Written with the lyricism of a naturalist and the candour of a seasoned storyteller, Understory invites readers to confront their own relationships with nature and consider how they, too, can find purpose and hope in uncertain times. For anyone who cherishes the wild, grapples with environmental grief, or seeks inspiration to keep moving forward, this memoir is both a solace and a call to action.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5498256</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5498256</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Van Tighem, Kevin J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5498256147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Ecologist&apos;s Memoir of Loss and Hope</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771607452/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Triple Compounding]]></title><description><![CDATA["Triple Compounding For Dummies helps beginning and seasoned investors and business owners alike take advantage of compounding interest, compounding continuity, compounding dividends, as well as other methods of compounding that can be used to create a wealth ecosystem.

In this radical rethinking of economics, Clara Mattei argues that enduring problems such as poverty, unemployment, and inflation are not bugs in the economy but core features. They are justified with pseudoscientific models, fabrications built to support a capitalist economy that unfairly rewards people with the most resources. The tools of economic experts--budget cuts, interest rate hikes, and regressive taxes--never work as promised. Central bankers raise interest rates knowing this will cause a recession. The government slashes IRS jobs, which ends up costing trillions. Textbooks teach that unemployment must rise to fix inflation. But this model creates conditions that force people to accept crummy jobs and low pay. In the wake of World War I, when the world's economy was in turmoil, economics was elevated to a scientific discipline, legitimized through mathematical formulas and new economic institutions considered too sophisticated for the average person to understand. Today's economic institutions, from the Fed to the IMF, wield immense power over monetary policy yet are shielded from democratic scrutiny. Why should we accept a system that delegates important decisions to institutions in which we have no say? All the major problems that ail us--from a healthcare system that prioritizes profits over wellbeing to the rise of ultranationalism--are rooted in an economic system that fails to serve the common good. In this revelatory manifesto, Mattei sets out a revolutionary vision that may one day allow us to achieve true economic freedom ... and escape from capitalism."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5500651</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5500651</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mattei, Clara E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5500651147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Intervention</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668085141/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Money Habit]]></title><description><![CDATA[Money. What if you never had to worry about it again? In the follow-up to his international bestseller Profit First, entrepreneur and money expert Mike Michalowicz reveals how to achieve financial freedom by working with your natural habits rather than trying to change them. His Profit First model has already helped over a million businesses and entrepreneurs achieve financial independence. Now, with The Money Habit, he brings that proven system to personal finance. Most financial advice demands strict budgets, sacrifice, and cutting back on lifes joys, yet only 9% of people stick with these approaches.

Michalowicz offers a radically simple alternative, guiding you to leverage your existing habits for financial success. By categorizing money into distinct bank accounts, you will instantly gain cash clarity, track spending, and feel empowered, all while maintaining financial responsibility. He provides actionable steps to align your finances with your lifestyle and goals  whether those are to get out of debt, spend some money, save for a big purchase, or plan for the future  illustrated with lessons from his own journey, from losing his first fortune to regaining financial freedom. The truth is humans have always been wired for financial success, yet we are trying to master methods that work against our natural tendencies. The Money Habit is different: it simply activates whats already within you. This essential guide delivers a proven, sustainable approach to financial stability, security, and long-term wealth without forcing you to change who you are. All you need to do is activate your money habit.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5498075</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5498075</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michalowicz, Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5498075147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Worry-Free Way to Financial Independence</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781774586433/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[End of Days]]></title><description><![CDATA[On August 21, 1992, shots rang out while federal agents were surveilling a cabin in Boundary County, Idaho as part of an operation to arrest Randy Weaver--a reclusive, mountain-dwelling survivalist--for failure to appear in court on a gun charge.
