Calm Undone

Garth A. Fowler

Sinopsis

Calm Undone is a young adult novel that tackles many of the issues relevant to young people today (feelings of loss, a dawning sense of self, and the awakening of attraction) with a gentle, accepting approach.Seventeen-year-old Tyler wants three things from his summer at the family beach-house: Run along the beach to get ready for cross-country again in the fall. Wander the boardwalk with his cousin Liam. And more importantly, figure out how to move on with his life after his Dad's death from a car crash - one that Tyler survives.But nothing about this summer is right: Running isn't fun anymore. Mom spends hours alone in her room. Liam constantly ditches him to spend time with Melissa --- a girl he met on the beach. Which forces Tyler to spend time alone with Finn, a friend of Melissa's who surfs. At first, he feels abandoned, but Finn is easy going, interested in hearing Tyler talk about running, and the only person in his life that doesn't treat him like the "kid who lost his dad." All of which help Tyler realize that up to now, Dad had been the closest thing he had to a best friend, and in order to move on he has to accept the type of love those left in his life --- Mom, Liam, and even Finn --- have to offer.

The Origin of Species

Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" is a key text in evolutionary biology, introducing natural selection as a mechanism for evolution. While acknowledging Lamarckism, Darwin emphasizes common descent and a branching evolutionary pattern based on his research from the Beagle expedition in the 1830s. Aimed at a non-specialist audience, the book generated significant interest and sparked discussions in scientific, philosophical, and religious circles.
Directed at a non-specialist audience, the book generated substantial interest upon its release, bolstered by Darwin’s credibility as a scientist. This sparked discussions across scientific, philosophical, and religious circles. Before his work, various evolutionary concepts were emerging, supported by dissenting anatomists and the general public. However, the English scientific community of the mid-19th century, closely aligned with the Church of England, resisted the notion of transmutation, believing in immutable species and the uniqueness of humans.
Overall, Darwin's "The Origin of Species," aimed at a non-specialist audience, attracted widespread interest, fueled by his respected status as a scientist. The evidence he presented sparked meaningful discussions across various spheres, setting the stage for future acceptance of evolutionary ideas.

Maybe It's a Sign

E. L. Shen

Seventh grader Freya June Sun has always believed in the Chinese superstitions spoon-fed to her since birth—but ever since her dad’s death a year ago, she’s become obsessed, believing that her father is sending her messages through signs from the beyond. Like how, on her way to an orchestra concert where she’s dreading her viola solo, a pair of lucky red birds appear, a sure indication that Dad wants Freya to stick with the instrument and make him proud. Then Freya is partnered with Gus Choi, a goofy and super annoying classmate, for a home-economics project. To her surprise, as they experiment with recipes and get to know each other, Freya finds that she loves baking much more than music. It may be time for a big change in her life, even though her dad hasn’t sent a single sign that it’s something he approves of. But with the help of her family, Gus (who might not be so annoying after all), and two maybe-magical birds, Freya learns that to be her own person, she might just have to make her own luck.
