  For award-winning natural history writer David B. Williams, to be connected to a place you need to pause and look deeply at it. Wild in Seattle is Williams's delightful journey of discovery in this city where not only is nature all around, it's also written in the stones of the urban landscape. Explore the geologic history of glaciers, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes as well as the ways humans shape the Seattle topography. From backyards to downtown, watch for coyotes, crows, seals, otters, owls, and so much more wildlife who also call the region home. Look up at the buildings to find terra cotta eagles, stone that traveled over millions of years from Asia to the San Juan Islands, and clues to the horses who used to power the city's transportation network. Wrap your arms around a giant Douglas-fir, appreciate the unsung yet remarkable skunk cabbage, stop and listen to the spring chorus of frogs.

  City Resilience - Building...

  In an era of rapid urbanization, cities are facing an array of challenges that threaten the sustainability and stability of urban life. From climate change-induced natural disasters to social inequality and economic instability, the vulnerabilities of urban environments are increasingly evident. As the global population continues to concentrate in cities, the importance of urban resilience has never been more critical. Urban resilience refers to a city's capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from various shocks and stresses, ensuring the continued wellbeing of its residents and the functionality of its infrastructure. 
  The resilience of urban communities is not just about withstanding external shocks such as earthquakes, floods, or pandemics, but also about the ability to respond to longer-term stresses like climate change, economic fluctuations, and demographic shifts. Cities are complex systems, where the interplay of social, environmental, economic, and technological factors can either contribute to vulnerability or foster the development of adaptive capacities. Building resilience, therefore, requires a multi-dimensional approach that integrates these various aspects, creating a robust foundation upon which cities can thrive despite inevitable challenges. 
  One of the primary reasons urban resilience has gained such prominence is the growing recognition of the vulnerability of cities in the face of climate change. With rising sea levels, more frequent and severe storms, and heatwaves becoming the norm, cities are exposed to significant risks that threaten public safety, economic stability, and infrastructure. Moreover, rapid urban growth often leads to poor urban planning, inadequate infrastructure, and limited resources to address emerging problems.

  Beyond Our Control - Let Go of...

  Read by the authors. 
  Realizing how little control we have over our lives can make us fearful and anxious--or it can lead to greater intimacy with God, a richer prayer life, and a joyful eternal perspective.  
  Seasons of grief, pain, and loss of control are inevitable. Despite our best efforts and steadfast faith, reality rarely matches our expectations. In an unpredictable and broken world, how do we cling to a foundation that provides purpose for today and hope for the future?  
  In their new book, Beyond Our Control, Michael and Lauren McAfee show us how trusting God brings greater contentment than the illusion of control. With deep and abiding faith, the McAfees draw on their experiences with adoption, infertility, illness, and loss to help readers navigate unexpected circumstances. Offering biblical insights and their powerful story of pain and providence, Michael and Lauren know that no matter what happens--to their family, work, or ministry--everything is as it should be because God is in control, and he is good.   
  The McAfees help us:recognize the illusion of control and how it leads to greater anxiety;understand why glorifying God is the richest expectation we can have for our lives;realize that Jesus' pain on the cross brings hope and healing to the pain we experience now;practice the profoundly comforting spiritual discipline of lament, which makes room for us to process grief; anduse times of loss to make more room for God's work of growing and sanctifying us. 
    
  If you struggle to embrace the life you have rather than the life you wanted, this book invites you to find a deeper peace in God than you could have imagined.
