How to Rescue A Tiger

Roger Allen

Synopsis

Award-winning news photographer Roger Allen had often taken animal photos, but never grasped how badly humans can mistreat other sentient beings. 
 
Then he met Mely, an orangutan that had been chained all its adult life to the verandah of a waterfront house in a remote part of Borneo. 
 
They met, touched hands, and in an instant he was converted into an impassioned animal rights campaigner. 
 
In this stunning photography book, Roger documents the dramatic animal rescues he has brought to world attention – of lions, tigers, rhinos, dogs and bears – as well as, in many cases, their happy outcomes.

Frostlines - A Journey Through...

Neil Shea

A Recommended Read from Yale Climate Connections 
 
“[Frostlines weaves] together natural history, indigenous perspective, and environmental transformation in the Arctic. The book helps bring a human story to the science of climate change.”—Parade 
 
A sweeping exploration of the Arctic—and how it’s being transformed by climate change—from National Geographic writer Neil Shea 
As warming reshapes our planet, the Arctic—a region that once seemed unchangeable, beyond the reach of modern problems—is quickly coming undone. While the old cold world can still be glimpsed in the movements of caribou, the hidden lives of wolves, and the hunting skill of an Iñupiaq elder, look closer and you’ll find a new Arctic appearing in its place. 
In Frostlines, Neil Shea blends natural history, anthropology, and travel writing to explore how the beauty, chaos, and power of change in the far north are reflected in the lives of people and animals. He sojourns with a wolf pack on Canada’s Ellesmere Island and travels with Indigenous hunters in Alaska, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. He tracks dwindling caribou herds across the top of North America, searches for vanished Vikings in Greenland, and visits the front line of the new Cold War rising between Russia and Europe. What Shea finds is not one Arctic but many—all still linked by shattering cold, seasons of darkness, and a pure, inimitable light. 
 
Frostlines illuminates: 
How Greenland’s history has led to Trump’s interest in [or obsession with] the country todayHow Russia is using the Arctic as a testing ground for geopolitical confrontationsWhy oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will further threaten Indigenous people and animalsWhy increased ship traffic in the Northwest Passage has profound consequences for the Inuit and global politics 
 
Written with masterful prose and a spark of adventure, Frostlines is an expansive yet intimate revelation of the Arctic during a time of transformation, and a journey along the threshold of a stunning and sometimes frightening world that’s emerging right before our eyes.

What Hath Darwin to Do with...

Dru Johnson

Believe it or not, the book of Genesis might have been the most Darwinian text in the ancient world. And throughout the opening books of Scripture, we find ideas that would also become prominent insights of the biologist Charles Darwin interlaced with the Bible's one-of-a-kind origin story. Key plot markers come to the surface again and again, driving the history of Israel and the Jesus movement forward to its cosmic completion.
Biblical scholar Dru Johnson calls us beyond typical creation-versus-evolution debates to explore the conceptual worlds underlying both Scripture and evolutionary science. He points toward remarkable continuities and discontinuities between the Bible's central concerns and those of Darwin and modern science—ideas so fundamental that they can easily escape our notice.
The Hebrew creation accounts, Johnson argues, weave together three key themes on the origins and development of humans and animals, themes that are also essentially Darwinian:

- the connection among scarcity, cooperation, and violence
- the fitness of creatures to their environments
- the genealogical aims of sexual reproduction
Can the ideas of Scripture and evolutionary science be mutually illuminating? When we enter deeply into the metaphysical imagination of the biblical authors, we discover surprising ways in which the two accounts converge—and conflict.
