  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "State of Wonder", by Ann Patchett, follows Marina Singh, a research scientist sent to the Amazon to investigate the mysterious work of her former mentor, Dr. Annick Swenson. Swenson, a brilliant but elusive figure, is developing a groundbreaking fertility drug derived from the secrets of the Lakashi tribe. Marina's journey becomes a thrilling exploration of scientific ambition, ethical dilemmas, and the complexities of human relationships, set against the backdrop of a lush and dangerous jungle. She encounters a diverse cast of characters, including the enigmatic Dr. Swenson, the idealistic Bovenders, and the resourceful Easter, a young deaf boy who guides them through the Amazon’s intricate waterways. As Marina delves deeper into Swenson’s research, she uncovers unsettling truths about the drug’s development, the Lakashi culture, and her own past, forcing her to confront her fears and redefine her understanding of scientific progress.

  An urgent plea for a broader understanding and awareness of the unconsidered dangers of new genetic technologies 
   
   
   
  Since 2010 it has been possible to determine a person's genetic makeup in a matter of days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use this information to help prospective parents "eliminate preventable genetic disease." As the prospect of systematically excluding the appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from these types of choices. 
   
   
    
  Engaging and accessible, this clarion call for responsible and informed stewardship of the human genome provides an overview of what we do and do not know about human genetics and looks at some of the complex, yet largely unexplored, issues we must be most careful about as we move into an era of increasing numbers of parents exercising direct control over the genomes of their children.

  The Color of Civics - Civic...

  Generations of Americans have regarded schools as essential for developing the knowledge and civic values necessary for sustaining democracy. Yet, as Matthew D. Nelsen argues in The Color of Civics, traditional approaches to civic education are not living up to their promise for many students, particularly students of color from disadvantaged communities. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on lessons from students and teachers in Chicago, The Color of Civics reimagines the democratic purpose of civic education. Nelsen's findings challenge some of the most widely cited civic education research, arguing that the content of traditional civic education courses privileges the political experiences of white political actors, and in turn, contributes to divergent political behaviors and participatory outcomes across racial and ethnic groups. He presents a new approach to civic education that aims to foster political empowerment by centering historically-grounded conversations about current events as well as critical categories of knowledge—those that highlight the agency of marginalized groups. This approach increases rates of political participation among young people of color and heightens political empathy among white youth. Nelsen also explores how the attitudes and lived experiences of teachers drive the implementation of more empowering civic learning environments.

  The story of a young, Black Communist Party organizer wrongly convicted of attempting to incite insurrection and the landmark case that made him a civil rights hero. 
   
   
   
  Decades before the impeachment of an American president for a similar offense, Angelo Herndon was charged under Georgia law with "attempting to incite insurrection"—a crime punishable by death. In 1932, the eighteen-year-old Black Communist Party organizer was arrested and had his room illegally searched and his radical literature seized. Charged under an old slave insurrection statute, Herndon was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to eighteen to twenty years on a chain gang. 
   
   
   
  A legal odyssey of Herndon's narrow escape from certain death because of his unpopular political beliefs, You Can't Kill a Man Because of the Books He Reads explores Herndon's journey from Alabama coal miner to Communist Party organizer to Harlem hero and beyond. Brad Snyder tells the stories of the diverse coalition of people who rallied to his cause and who twice appealed his case to the US Supreme Court. They forced the Court to recognize free speech and peaceable assembly as essential rights in a democracy—a landmark decision in 1930s America as well as today.
