  She was never meant to be seen. 
   
  Born in the abyss—where light has never touched and pressure shapes every living thing—she was destined to remain hidden. A creature of the deep, unseen by the world above, drifting through the blackness, waiting. 
   
  Until one day… she rose. 
   
  For reasons unknown, a lone anglerfish ascended from the depths, leaving behind the only world she had ever known. She swam toward something distant, something beautiful—a light that was not her own. 
   
  And when she reached it… she was gone. 
   
  But not before she was seen. 
   
  A passing diver captured her final moments. The video spread like wildfire. The world mourned a creature it had never known—but somehow instantly loved.
   
  The Fish Who Touched the Light is a poetic, emotional, and symbolic retelling of a real-life moment that mesmerized millions. Through science, storytelling, and deep emotional reflection, it brings new meaning to the strange and beautiful journey of one deep-sea anglerfish. 
   
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
  
  The alien, pressure-crushed world of the deep ocean—and the life that thrives there 
  What happens when deep-sea creatures rise to the surface 
  The meaning people found in her journey—and why it struck such a powerful chord 
  The symbolic connection between her story and our own human search for purpose 
  
   
  This is not just a book about a fish. 
   
  It’s about longing. About exploration. About rising beyond what you were built for—toward something greater. 
   
  For those who felt something when they saw her… 
   
  For those who can’t stop thinking about her rise… 
   
  For those who know what it means to chase the light… 
   
  This story is for you.

  The Heat and the Fury - On the...

  As a journalist on the climate security beat, Peter Schwartzstein has been chased by kidnappers, badly beaten, detained by police, and told, in no uncertain terms, that he was no longer welcome in certain countries. Yet these personal brushes with violence are simply a hint of the conflict simmering in our warming world. 
   
   
    
  Schwartzstein has visited ravaged Iraqi towns where ISIS used drought as a recruiting tool and weapon of terror. And he has heard the fear in the voices of women from around the world who say their husbands' tempers flare when the temperature ticks up. 
   
   
    
  In The Heat and the Fury, he not only puts listeners on the frontlines of climate violence but gives us the context to make sense of seemingly senseless acts. As Schwartzstein deftly shows, climate change is often the spark that ignites long smoldering fires, the extra shove that pushes individuals, communities, and even nations over the line between frustration and lethal fury. What, he asks, can ratchet down the aggression? 
   
   
    
  Schwartzstein's incisive analysis of geopolitics, unparalleled on-the-ground reporting, and keen sense of human nature offer the clearest picture to date of the violence that threatens us all.

  A Call to Life aims to help veterinary caregivers increase self-efficacy, decrease unnecessary suffering, and increase sustainability in their mission to support animal health around the world. The veterinary profession is powered by dedicated, bright, and selfless individuals. Unfortunately, the long-standing and dysfunctional culture in classrooms and practices around the world expects veterinary caregivers to be ready to sacrifice everything in the name of being deemed qualified and 'worthy.' 
   
   
   
  Integrating real-life stories from a range of veterinary caregivers with evidence-based theory, practical activities, discussion and reflection points, and insights drawn from the author's own experiences, the book empowers veterinarians by showing that they have the ability and the control to choose a healthier way forward for themselves and their profession. It describes how to: normalize the conversation around mental and emotional health challenges in caregiving environments; discuss and collaboratively create systemic solutions that promote healthier 'ecosystems' for vets to work within; develop the skills of reframing, mindfulness, and self-care strategy implementation supporting holistic veterinary well-being; and collectively choose to shift the framework of professional conversations towards psychological safety, optimism, and purpose-driven experiences.

  In Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern seek to explain the substantial regional variation in rates of homelessness in cities across the United States. In a departure from many analytical approaches, Colburn and Aldern shift their focus from the individual experiencing homelessness to the metropolitan area. Using accessible statistical analysis, they test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain the regional variation observed across the country. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a far more convincing account. With rigor and clarity, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem explores United States cities' diverse experiences with housing precarity and offers policy solutions for unique regional contexts.
