Silent Spring (Anniversary)
Rarely does a single book alter the course of history, but Rachel Carson's Silent Spring did exactly that. The outcry that followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred the revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson's passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world, and her eloquent book on the dangers of widespread pesticide use was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. It is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century.This foundational work of environmental science and conservation revealed the dark side of progress and its effects on the natural world: A Landmark Environmental Classic: Discover the eloquent, meticulously researched book that awakened public consciousness and single-handedly launched the modern environmental movement. The Science of Ecology: A stunning and poetic examination of the intricate web of life, showing how harm to one part of the ecosystem reverberates through the whole, from insects to birds to humans. A Powerful Call for Conservation: More than just a scientific study, this is a passionate call to action that challenges the idea of "controlling nature" and demands a new respect for the planet we share. The Dangers of DDT: Carson exposes how the indiscriminate spraying of pesticides like DDT contaminates our soil, water, and food, creating a chain of poisoning and death.

Silverview
An instant New York Times bestseller! In his last completed novel, John le Carré turns his focus to the world that occupied his writing for the past sixty years--the secret world itself. "[Le Carré] was often considered one of the finest novelists, period, since World War II. It's not that he 'transcended the genre, ' as the tired saying goes; it's that he elevated the level of play... [Silverview's] sense of moral ambivalence remains exquisitely calibrated." --The New York Times Book Review Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the city for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town. But only a couple of months into his new career, Julian's evening is disrupted by a visitor. Edward, a Polish émigré living in Silverview, the big house on the edge of town, seems to know a lot about Julian's family and is rather too interested in the inner workings of his modest new enterprise. When a letter turns up at the door of a spy chief in London warning him of a dangerous leak, the investigations lead him to this quiet town by the sea . . . Silverview is the mesmerizing story of an encounter between innocence and experience and between public duty and private morals. In his inimitable voice John le Carré, the greatest chronicler of our age, seeks to answer the question of what we truly owe to the people we love.

Simply Lies: A Psychological Thriller: A Psychological Thriller
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 6:20 Man comes a twisting psychological thriller in which two women--one a former detective, the other a dangerous con artist--go head-to-head in an electrifying game of cat and mouse. Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats. When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene's unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye's clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion and discovers a dead body in a secret room--and nothing is as it seems. Not only does the arms dealer not exist, but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What's more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye. In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation--and now her job is on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives--whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly.

During the journey, startling discoveries about his own past make him question everything. As he and Anna dig deeper into the history of their beloved region and their families, they stumble upon long- hidden secrets, including the story of an abandoned monastery from one of Italy's darkest moments.

Six to Carry the Casket and One to Say the Mass: Reflections on Life, Identity, and Moving Forward: Reflections on Life, Identity, and Moving Forward
Six to carry the casket and one to say the mass: reflections on life, identity, and moving forward offers the unique opportunity for its readers to start a new dialogue, take an active hand in creating culture and reshaping the world, and think about making meaning from formative experiences and relationships. From family dynamics and professional challenges that bolstered and battered him to the TV shows, films, books, and people who impacted his queer identity, Bill deconstructs the world that he inherited and begins to reconstruct the person he wants to become through short, poignant, thought-provoking, and frequently hilarious essays. The post-2020 world revealed to Bill that social transformation only comes with individual choices. If he wanted the world to change, he had to truthfully and compassionately understand how choices made long ago brought him to this moment and how the choices he makes now shape the future.This book is not didactic or instructional; not self-help or psychology; not academic philosophy or cultural criticism. It is an exercise in honesty and a portrait of Bill, his family, and how we construct multiple identities--sexual, religious, philosophical, political, familial, relational--without reducing them to a monolithic whole, without being argumentative.For anyone looking to make meaning out of their lives and the world around them, this book offers a model.
