  Award-winning journalist Bill Weir confronts the biggest threats to life as we know it and explores ideas for building a more promising future. 
   
  Bill Weir has spent decades telling the stories of unique people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of change. As the first Chief Climate Correspondent in network news, he is immersed in the latest scientific warnings and breakthroughs while often on the frontlines of disasters, natural and manmade. 
   
  After the birth of his son in April 2020, Bill began distilling these experiences into a series of Earth Day letters to his boy, weaving together worry and wonder into a poignant reminder that a better future can still be written. Life as We Know It (Can Be) digs into fascinating corners of history, psychology, technology, and Bill’s own biography to connect the lessons he’s collected from the happiest, healthiest, and most resilient societies. From the sun-powered town that kept its lights on in a hurricane to the Antarctic nests of the one penguin species thriving amid climate change, Bill takes readers around the world to collect dozens of practical ideas to help build a more resilient future.  
   
  Life as We Know It (Can Be) is a celebration of the wonders of our planet, a meditation on the human wants and needs that drive it out of balance, and an inspiration for communities to galvanize around nature and each other as the very best way to brace for what’s next. 
   
  “There is no other correspondent like Bill Weir, and there’s certainly no other book like this one. It’s moving, funny, frank, well-researched, beautifully written, and looks at climate change in a way I’ve never seen before.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor, 60 Minutes correspondent, and New York Times–bestselling author

  The future is uncertain. But flourishing doesn’t have to be. We know without a doubt that humans have power to change the earth in lasting ways. Climate change is not a niche issue: it is the unfolding story of our embodied lives. As we join in with the groaning of creation, we wonder how we and coming generations will make our home in a potentially inhospitable future. In the face of environmental and social upheaval, Tending Tomorrow lays out a path for Christians seeking courage and inspiration for the uncertain journey ahead. Drawing on metaphors from the natural world, author Leah Reesor-Keller offers foundational, transformative practices for leaders and communities to foster healthier cultures during a time of ecological devastation. ​ When we dig into the roots of faith and culture, and envision new interactions and patterns, we plant seeds of change. Seeds that ignite courageous imagination. Seeds that repair injustice. Seeds that nurture a tomorrow where possibilities bloom and people and planet flourish.

  Look Up: Our story with the stars

  ‘Sarah Cruddas is a gifted writer and Look Up is an inspired book. I am hopeful that we will never stop looking up.’ Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins 
  Most of us have never been to space. To date, of the more than 100 billion humans that have ever existed, fewer than 600 humans have ever left Earth. But the exploration of space is the most significant thing we will ever do as a species. 
  Sarah Cruddas has been looking to the skies her entire life. Her childhood was spent staring at the Moon and hearing stories of the space race, and she worked in a fruit factory to fund her love of the subject. Her subsequent career studying astrophysics, and becoming a television host and space journalist has seen her report on space exploration and chase launches across the world. In Look Up Sarah explains why she has always been a passionate advocate for why space should matter – to everyone. 
  From our ancestors who first painted patterns of the stars in caves, to the US and Soviet pioneers who first forged a path beyond our planet, Sarah Cruddas explores the stories and sacrifices that humankind has made to understand more about our place in the universe. And even today, when Moon walking and people in space suits seem less relevant to us than climate change and conflicts here on Earth, she shows how everything from medicine to mobile phones is affected by space technology, and how a new generation of entrepreneurs have kick-started a new story with the stars. 
  This is an inspirational and enlightening introduction to the importance of space to everyone, and why we should all learn to Look Up. 
  Look Up by Sarah Cruddas is a modern narrative that encapsulates the best of 20th-century science and cosmology. It is a journey through the history of space exploration, with a keen eye on the environmental implications, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of these topics. 
  For fans of Adrian West (The Secret World of Stargazing), Libby Jackson (A Galaxy of Her Own), Cgp Books (A-Level Chemistry for AQA), Hallie Rubenhold (The Five), and Nigel Henbest (The Astronomy Bible).

  Thirsting Earth The: The Global...

  Water is the essence of life — yet across the world, it’s vanishing. Rivers are drying, aquifers collapsing, and once-fertile plains turning to dust. From Cape Town to California, scarcity is no longer a distant threat but a daily reality. 
  In The Thirsting Earth, Alex Southwick journeys across a planet running out of its most vital resource. Through powerful reportage and vivid human stories, Southwick uncovers the fault lines where drought, politics, and inequality collide — and where innovation and resilience are beginning to take root. 
  We meet the communities reviving ancient water-harvesting traditions, scientists reimagining desalination, and activists fighting to reclaim water as a common good rather than a commodity. Together, they offer a glimpse of a future where survival depends not on conquest of nature, but on collaboration with it. 
  Urgent, humane, and unforgettable, The Thirsting Earth is both a warning and a testament — a chronicle of crisis, and a call to rediscover our most elemental connection to the world.
