    The time has come to reimagine our relationship to the environment before it is too late.As wildfires char the American West, extreme weather transforms landscapes, glaciers retreat, and climate zones shift, we are undeniably experiencing the effects of the climate crisis in more and more destructive ways. Climate change is impacting every inhabited region of the world, but there is much we can still do.Unsettling explores human impacts on the environment through science, popular culture, personal narrative, and landscape. Using the stories of animals, landscapes, and people who have exhibited resilience in the face of persistent colonization across the North American continent, science writer Elizabeth Weinberg explores how climate change is a direct result of white supremacy, colonialism, sexism, and heteronormativity. Travel through the deep sea; along Louisiana’s vanishing bayous; down the Colorado, Mississippi, and Potomac rivers; and over the Cascade Mountains, and examine how we as humans, particularly white humans, have drawn a stark line between human and animal, culture and nature, in order to exploit anything and anyone we find useful. With gorgeous and pointed prose, Weinberg weaves together science, personal essay, history, and pop culture to propose a new way of thinking about climate change—one that is rooted in queerness and antiracism.

    In 1971, a time before metal detectors and body scans, a single man boards an Air Canada DC-8 flight with a sawed-off shotgun, 54 sticks of dynamite, a parachute and a desperate plan for a $1.5 million ransom. But it's the two twisted wires in an ordinary Woolco shopping bag that will hold an entire plane hostage. 
    Trapped at 37,000 feet, flight attendant Mary Dohey becomes an unwilling participant in a deadly game, forced to hold live detonator wires for hours. One wrong move, one trembling hand, and the aircraft could explode. Around her, passengers wrestle with their own mortality while the hijacker, Paul Cini, plays a high-stakes game of psychological warfare with authorities on the ground. 
    But in this meticulously researched true-crime thriller, nothing is quite what it seems. As the FBI, Air Canada and the flight's crew race against time to prevent disaster, the truth behind Cini's elaborate deception slowly unravels—revealing an even more chilling reality about how vulnerable we all are to the power of suggestion. 
    "The Doomsday Flight" masterfully weaves together the intense drama of a hijacking, the psychological complexity of human nature, and the fascinating history of an era when the skies were a lawless frontier. Drawing from extensive interviews, photographs, newspaper archives, and witness accounts, which are all included in the book, this heart-pounding narrative puts readers in the cabin alongside passengers and crew as they face what they believe to be their final hours. 
    Taking place just days before the copycat infamous D.B. Cooper hijacking, this is perfect for fans of "Captain Phillips", "The Taking of Pelham 123" and "Air Force One". This unforgettable story exposes how the most dangerous weapons aren't always the ones we can see.
