  Loaners: The Making of a Street...

  In 2011, Laura Moulton founded Street Books, a mobile library serving people living outside in Portland, Oregon. That summer, Ben Hodgson became one of her most dedicated regulars, setting the still-unbroken single-season record for borrowing. Then Ben's routines changed, and he didn't cross paths again with Laura for almost two years. Loaners is the story they began to tell when they reconnected, offering a street-level perspective of a community whose stories are seldom told, alternating between their two unforgettable points of view in this addictively readable, occasionally sublime memoir.  
  Pulitzer-nominated writer Karen Russell has this to say about Loaners: "A wonderfully sui generis memoir, braiding together hilarious and devastating anecdotes from Ben's years living on the street in Old Town — 'the Baltic and Mediterranean' of Portland — and Laura's decade of building her first bike library, a 'beautiful, ungainly, rolling creation,' into a sprawling, city-wide network of street librarians and patrons. Like Street Books itself, Loaners is a powerful collaboration between neighbors, a wonderful, chimerical book held together by the glue of humor, hope and connection. The right book can change a person forever in a few hours time. Anyone looking for evidence to pair with this grand claim of mine should read Loaners immediately."

  For centuries, dovetail joints have been instrumental in holding wood together. Though modern mass-production of furniture means that most such joints are now machine-cut instead, there is still a place for traditional hand-cut dovetails in low-volume, high-quality furniture making and, increasingly, in the work of the hobbyist woodworker. Dovetails is a comprehensive guide to the hand-tool preparation of dovetail joinery. Containing over 400 photographs and diagrams, it details how to make 28 dovetail joints, from the simplest example through to complicated puzzle joints.

  From North Korean Refugee to the United Nations: A Courageous and Compassionate Memoir 
  Soon-Young Yoon understood from an early age that people's destinies are connected to international events. This book is a collection of her reflections as a women's human rights advocate speaking up to end violence against women and change the world to ensure gender equality, sustainable development, and peace. 
  Yoon has seen the struggle for human rights in all corners of the world, meeting with people in urban slums and the offices of the United Nations. She urges us to look at the world through women's eyes to understand why gender equality and women's empowerment, particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable populations, is essential to our collective good. 
  In Citizen of the World, you'll be inspired by Yoon's stories on 
  Ending violence against women and girls 
  Finding the Earth's balance 
  Claiming the right to social and economic development 
  Portraits of great women leaders 
  Collective voices that are changing the world 
  Challenges working as a feminist anthropologist inside and outside the United Nations 
  Written through the lens of an anthropologist, these essays reflect her belief that one needs to understand a wide range of issues to shape our common future. 
  Students, academics, and activists in the fields of women's studies, international relations, anthropology, and social justice will find Citizen of the World both unique and eye-opening—and filled with hope for a better future for us all.

  God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
  Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
  This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
  An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
  His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
  The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
  Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
  From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
  Perfect for: 
  Recovering theology majors 
  Catholic guilt survivors 
  Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
  Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
  Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
  Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.
