  The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue...

  In 2023, author and activist Mike Tidwell decided to keep a record for a full year of the growing impacts of climate change on his one urban block right on the border with Washington, DC. Tidwell's story depicts the neighborhood's battle to save the trees and combat climate change: The midwife who builds a geothermal energy system, the Congressman who battles cancer and climate change, and the Chinese-American climate scientist who wants to bury billions of the world's dying trees to store their carbon and help stabilize the atmosphere. 
   
   
   
  The story goes beyond ailing trees as Tidwell chronicles people on his block coping with Lyme disease, a church with solar panels and floodwater, and young people anguishing over whether to have kids—all in the same neighborhood and all against the backdrop of 2023's record global temperatures and raging wildfires and hurricanes. Then there's Tidwell himself who explores the ethical and scientific questions surrounding the idea of "geoengineering" as a way to save the world's trees by reflecting sunlight away from the planet. 
   
   
   
  No book has told the story of climate change this way: hyper-local, full of surprises, full of true stories of life and death in one neighborhood. The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue is a harrowing and hopeful proxy for every street in America and every place on Earth.

  Cytology, the study of cells, is a cornerstone of biological science that provides essential insights into the structure, function, and behavior of living organisms. At the heart of cytology lies the cell, the fundamental unit of life, serving as the building block of all living organisms. This field of study plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of life processes and offers foundational knowledge for various biological disciplines such as genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology. The ability to investigate and analyze cells has paved the way for numerous medical, scientific, and technological breakthroughs, profoundly impacting fields like medicine, genetics, and biotechnology. 
  The exploration of cells began long before the term cytology was even coined, rooted in the development of microscopy. Early scientists, using rudimentary microscopes, made significant strides in observing the previously unseen world of cells. One of the most notable discoveries was by Robert Hooke in 1665, who, through his microscope, first identified cells in cork tissue. This groundbreaking observation sparked the development of cell theory, which asserts that all living organisms are composed of cells. Over time, advances in microscopy and staining techniques have allowed scientists to gain deeper insights into the intricate details of cellular structure and function, transforming cytology into a crucial branch of modern biology.

  For many, the past few years have been defined by climate disaster. Stories about once-in-a-lifetime hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts, and even snowstorms are now commonplace. But dramatic weather events are not new and Northeaster, Cathie Pelletier's breathtaking account of the 1952 snowstorm that blanketed New England, offers a valuable reminder about nature's capacity for destruction as well as insight into the human instinct for preservation. 
   
   
   
  Northeaster weaves together a rich cast of characters whose lives were uprooted and endangered by the storm. Housewives and lobstermen, loggers and soldiers were all trapped as snow piled in drifts twenty feet high. The storm smothered hundreds of travelers in their cars, covered entire towns, and broke ships in half. In the midst of the blizzard's chaos, there were remarkable acts of heroism and courageous generosities. Doctors braved the storm to help deliver babies. Ordinary people kept their wits while buried in their cars, and others made their way out of forests to find kindhearted strangers willing to take them in. 
   
   
   
  It's likely that none of us know how we would handle a confrontation with a blizzard or other natural disaster. But Northeaster shows that we have it inside to fight for survival in some of the harshest conditions that nature has to offer.
