  Along California's coastline, the Pacific Ocean is rising and pressing in, imperiling both wildlife and the maritime towns and cities that millions of people call home. In California Against the Sea, Los Angeles Times coastal reporter Rosanna Xia asks: As climate chaos threatens the places we love so fiercely, will we finally grasp our collective capacity for change? 
   
   
   
  Xia, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline—and foretell even greater changes to our shores. From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast, the voices of Indigenous leaders, community activists, small-town mayors, urban engineers, and environmental scientists commingle. Together, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future. Xia's investigation takes us to Imperial Beach, Los Angeles, Pacifica, Marin City, San Francisco, and beyond, weighing the rivaling arguments, agreements, compromises, and visions governing the State of California's commitment to a coast for all. Through graceful reportage, she charts how the decisions we make today will determine where we go tomorrow: headlong into natural disaster, or toward an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship.

  Slippery, wet, and strange: Fish can be easier to think of as food than as fellow animals. But what do we know about these creatures we meet on our dinner table and how they got there? But with warming oceans, diminishing fish stocks, and questions about fish farming practices, where will the fish come from? 
   
  In Every Last Fish, Rose George dives into these questions by exploring the vast industries that support our appetite for fish sticks and salmon burgers, and the colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards are unmonitored and often dangerous. Journeying to the bottom of the ocean and back, she examines the machinations of this $200 billion food system―one that's growing rapidly even as fish populations disappear. 
   
  Along the way, George introduces us to the people on the front lines of fishes and fishing: fishermen, divers, marine biologists, fish fryers, and fishwives. Her journey ends at the fish counter, with guidance for listeners looking to make better choices, both for the ocean's health and their own. 
   
  Ranging from Alaska to the United Kingdom to Senegal and beyond, Every Last Fish is an unforgettable trip through the ocean's inhabitants and workers.

  Steve Lohr, a technology reporter for the New York Times, chronicles the rise of Big Data, addressing cutting-edge business strategies and examining the dark side of a data-driven world. 
  Coal, iron ore, and oil were the key productive assets that fueled the Industrial Revolution. Today, Data is the vital raw material of the information economy. The explosive abundance of this digital asset, more than doubling every two years, is creating a new world of opportunity and challenge. 
  Data-ism is about this next phase, in which vast, Internet-scale data sets are used for discovery and prediction in virtually every field. It is a journey across this emerging world with people, illuminating narrative examples, and insights. It shows that, if exploited, this new revolution will change the way decisions are made—relying more on data and analysis, and less on intuition and experience—and transform the nature of leadership and management. 
  Lohr explains how individuals and institutions will need to exploit, protect, and manage their data to stay competitive in the coming years. Filled with rich examples and anecdotes of the various ways in which the rise of Big Data is affecting everyday life it raises provocative questions about policy and practice that have wide implications for all of our lives.

  On the Origin of Species

  "There is grandeur in this view of life."
  
  In 1859, Charles Darwin published a book that would forever alter the course of human thought. On the Origin of Species introduced the world to the concept of Natural Selection—the process by which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Moving away from the static view of nature, Darwin presented a world of constant, slow, and magnificent transformation.
  
  The Mechanism of Life: Through decades of meticulous observation—from the beak shapes of Galápagos finches to the breeding of domestic pigeons—Darwin laid out a compelling case for how biological diversity arises. He explains how favorable traits are preserved over generations, allowing species to fill specific niches in their environment.
  
  A Masterpiece of Scientific Logic: Despite the controversy it initially sparked, On the Origin of Species is written with remarkable clarity and humility. Darwin anticipates and addresses the potential objections of his contemporaries, grounding his revolutionary ideas in overwhelming evidence from geology, embryology, and paleontology. It remains not just a textbook of biology, but a beautifully written tribute to the interconnectedness of all living things.
  
  Explore the foundation of your own history. Purchase "On the Origin of Species" today and witness the dawn of modern biology.
