  This “amazing and wonderful book” explores the evolutionary history of photosynthesis in a grand story of how the world became the verdant place we know (Choice).   On this blue planet, long before dinosaurs reigned, tiny green organisms populated the ancient oceans. Fossil and phylogenetic evidence suggests that chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for coloring these organisms, has been in existence for some 85% of Earth’s long history—that is, for roughly 3.5 billion years. In How the Earth Turned Green, Joseph E. Armstrong traces the history of these verdant organisms, which many would call plants, from their ancient beginnings to the diversity of green life that inhabits the Earth today. Using an evolutionary framework, How the Earth Turned Green addresses questions such as: Should all green organisms be considered plants? Why do these organisms look the way they do? How are they related to one another and to other chlorophyll-free organisms? How do they reproduce? How have they changed and diversified over time? And how has the presence of green organisms changed the Earth’s ecosystems? With engaging prose and astonishing breadth, as well as informative diagrams and illustrations, How the Earth Turned Green demonstrates “how the Earth blossomed into such an incredible world that most of us simply take for granted” (San Francisco Book Review).

  In this unique self-help book, two doctors offer an innovative approach to contentment and wellness that begins with ending our addiction to “happiness.”  Miserably Happy offers a unique take on the popular subject of happiness. Acknowledging the positive aspects of this powerful emotion, the book also explores its negative consequences. The truth is that all too often the pursuit of happiness—especially in its modern definition as the experience of pleasure—can lead to misery.   In Miserably Happy, you will discover a new definition of happiness based in the physical, mental, and spiritual properties of being human. The human mind, aligned with our biology, defines our health and wellness. As the authors point out: “In living within our created nature we become deeply connected to ourselves, others, our communities, the environment and, indeed, the universe. . . . The secret to lasting genuine happiness is found in nature.”   Providing a bold new definition of healthy human functioning and development, Miserably Happy can be your path to genuine meaning, purpose, and happiness in your life.

  Saving Molly - A Research...

  How rescuing a puppy led a veterinarian to rethink the ethics of his work: “Will surely interest everyone who cares about animal welfare and animal rights” (Library Journal).   The puppy was on the verge of death when James Mahoney found her. Molly was not the first dying animal the research veterinarian had seen—but her struggle touched his heart, and sent him barreling over rough Jamaican mountains in a borrowed car during his vacation, searching for the equipment he’d need to save her.  Saving Molly is not only the story of a rescued dog, but also of a rescued man. As he cares for the runt of the litter and raises her, he asks himself questions: How can he spend his days with chimpanzees locked behind bars and still say that he loves them? What do we owe them for their participation in medical research? Why is saving a single puppy important? In this “well-written, engaging book,” James Mahoney reflects on his early attraction to veterinary medicine, when he dreamed of being a horse doctor in Ireland; the debates both within his field and within his own mind about what’s right and wrong when it comes to laboratory work; and what he’s learned from fifty years of living with animals—and with the two-legged primates who study them (Library Journal).   Written by the man Jane Goodall called “one of the most gentle and compassionate people I know,” Saving Molly is an important addition to the debate on animal research and a heartfelt meditation on one man’s life. It includes an introduction by Roger A. Caras, president of the ASPCA.   “He is concerned about the pain and the suffering of the animals. That’s what makes Jim Mahoney different.” —Alex Pacheco, founder of PETA   “A different twist on the veterinary memoirs genre popularized by James Herriot, Mahoney’s examination of his motives as a research veterinarian makes for engrossing reading.” —Booklist
