They Knew - The US Federal...

James Gustave Speth, Julia...

In 2015, a group of twenty-one young people sued the federal government for violating their constitutional rights by promoting the climate catastrophe, depriving them of life, liberty, and property without due process of law. They Knew offers evidence for their claims, presenting a devastating, play-by-play account of the federal government's role in bringing about today's climate crisis. James Speth, tapped by the plaintiffs as an expert on climate, documents how administrations from Carter to Trump—despite having information about climate change and the connection to fossil fuels—continued aggressive support of a fossil fuel based energy system. 
 
 
  
What did the federal government know and when did it know it? Speth asks, echoing another famous cover up. What did the federal government do and what did it not do? They Knew (an updated version of the Expert Report Speth prepared for the lawsuit) presents the most compelling indictment yet of the government's role in the climate crisis, showing a forty-year failure to take action. 
 
Since Juliana v. United States was filed, the federal government has repeatedly delayed the case. Yet even in legal limbo, it has helped inspire a generation of youthful climate activists.

On IVF

Stephanie Gray Connors

In vitro fertilization (IVF)—the conceiving of new human beings in a laboratory—has become a widespread and international industry affecting millions upon millions of people. By some estimates, over eight million children in the US have been born as a result of this technology since 1978. But is it ethical to create human beings by science and not by sex? Is IVF inherently good or inherently evil? Or, perhaps, is it something that is sometimes right and other times wrong, depending on the circumstances? In this timely volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Looking at the morality of IVF and the stories of people who have either embraced or refused it, On IVF will draw readers into the profound suffering of infertility and miscarriage, the difficulties and dangers of IVF, and the hope-filled alternatives that honor the dignity of human beings—both born and preborn.
